Stampin' Up! Enjoy Creativity

Why not try a new technique?! 

Technique Focus

Ever tried inking an image by splitting the color right down the middle? If not, we may have a new, go-to technique for you. It’s both eye-catching and easy to do! Simply press the bottom half of a stamp on an ink pad, then press the top half on a different, complementary color. (We love photopolymer stamps and clear blocks for this technique; they make it easy for you to see what you’re doing!) You can then do as we did and stamp on the two-tone silhouette with VersaMark; finally, emboss the image with gold Wow! Embossing Powder. We think the beautiful, green-blue tones (Shy Shamrock and Pool Party) create the perfect backdrop for the gold-embossed leaf. What can you do with two-tone stamping? Please share them with me, contact me by completing the "Contact Me" on the right hand side of this blog and I will send you my email address. Thanks everyone,  Take care Cindy ************************************************************************************************                                                               What is Happening Every Monday - FACEBOOK LIVE AT CINDY'S STAMPING STUDIO AT 5:30 P.M.

Thanks So Much

 Last night at my Facebook Live, I had cut out the Memorable Blooms Octagon and had the negative left. I had said that I would save it for another card, this is the card that I came up with. It turned out great, and this time I applied ink around my greeting. It really made a difference.

Here is the card:

It's easy to change a basic card by just changing the background, come back on Thursday for my Facebook Live Replay to see the original card.

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Memorable Blooms

INK: Memento Black, Boho Blue

PAPER: Boho Blue Base, Bubble Gum Layer, White, Natures Sweetness

ACCESSORIES: Memorable Blooms Dies, Dimensionals, Stampin' Blends in Lemon Lime, Bubble Gum

Thanks you for stopping by and I hope that you enjoyed today's card.

Take care,

Cindy

You are a Ray of Sunshine

 When I first saw the New Online Exclusive stamp set Everyday Arches, I knew I just wanted to make some beautiful cards with it. Paired with the new Everyday Skies Designer Series Paper, well the sky was the limit. I had also never thought about using a strip of DSP as an accent strip. 

I can see making so many kinds of cards with this set! 

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Everyday Arches (Online Exclusive #164623)

INK: Memento Black

PAPER: Boho Blue Base, Everyday Skies DSP, White, Unbounded Love DSP Layer, Nature's Sweetness DSP Accent Strip

ACCESSORIES: Everyday Arches Dies, Dimensionals, Peach Pie Shimmer Gems (2)

What do you think?  I am happy with the results and also happy that I added the accent strip, this is a game changer to the everyday card and a great way to use up a strip of DSP.

Thanks for stopping in, tonight is Facebook Live at 5:30 p.m., I will be making a new card using Memorable Blooms.

Take care,

Cindy
