Stampin’ Up! Love What You Do Emboss Resist!

Posted on May 2, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have some cards that feature the stamp set from this month's "Share What You Love" promotion, some of the new In Colors, AND the Emboss Resist technique!

The base of this card is my favorite new color, Grapefruit Grove! This color is such a rich, deep peachy color, I'm in love!

After stamping everything with Versamark and heat-embossing with white embossing powder, I used a sponge dauber to add Grapefruit Grove over all of the blooms. I rubbed the embossed images with a tissue to remove the ink that was resisted by the glossy embossing. So simple but so pretty!

This sentiment is also from Love What You Do! I tied the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon in an easy knot. This card was quick to make!

All of the images used for this card are from Love What You Do!

Another pretty new In Color is Call Me Clover!

I used the same Emboss Resist technique for this one.

To accent the greeting I simply rubbed a bit of Call Me Clover ink under it!

I made this one to be another thank you card. I seem to always need them!

Stampin’ Up! Night in Bethlehem Slider!

Posted on August 26, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another of my favorite projects I shared with Vacation Stamping School were these two slider cards I created with the Night in Bethlehem set:

First I created this Versamark Resist version. To do the Versamark Resist technique, I stamped the "milky way" stars image from Star of Light and the Nativity star from Night in Bethlehem with Versamark on glossy card stock. I then used a Sponge Brayer to roll first Soft Sky and then Night of Navy over the stamped images. After I got the color intensity I wanted I then rubbed the images gently with a Kleenex to remove the excess ink. The Versamark "resisted" the ink, leaving soft star images.

For my "stepped-up" version I heat embossed the same images on glossy card stock with white and silver embossing powder before brayering the same Soft Sky/Night of Navy colors over them. After rubbing away the excess ink with a Kleenex I then sponged the edges with Basic Black ink. I mounted the piece on Basic Black, then added it to a Basic Black/Merry Music Specialty Paper layer that I punched with the Classic Label Punch to create the slider opening.

I stamped the "milky way" image with stamped-off Night of Navy ink and then stamped the Night in Bethlehem sentiment with Basic Black ink on a 2" x 4 1/2" strip that I punched one end with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to create the end to attach the ribbon pull.

I added a 1/4" wide strip to both sides of the other end of the tag to create a "stop" so the tag won't fall out of the opening.

I finished off the tag with Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edged Ribbon for the pull.

Inside I finished with the Star of Light "milky way" and Night in Bethlehem images:

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Soft Sayings Emboss Resist!

Posted on July 22, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I myself am surprised at how many days I have blogged about the Soft Sayings card kit. Generally I consider a card kit to be very limited; when the supplies in the kit are used up you are done, but because this kit included stamps that is not the case!

My card today is the last one with the Soft Sayings kit, at least for awhile, but it's a pretty one! I embossed the bloom with clear powder on Glossy card stock, then used a Sponge Brayer to roll Flirty Flamingo ink all over. After I achieved the ink intensity I wanted, I then rubbed over the embossed blooms with a Kleenex to remove excess ink.

I used the same technique on the greeting, and created a loopy bow by wrapping Whisper White 1/8" Sheer Ribbon around two of my fingers, then tying around it with the same ribbon that I had also wrapped around the glossy card layer. The greeting was punched with the Pretty Label Punch.

Inside I used another of the great sentiments from Soft Sayings, stamped with black ink. I finished the layer by stamping couple more blooms with Flirty Flamingo ink.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on April 30, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stampers! It's time for Sunday Swap Day, yay!

First, fellow Stamper's Dozen Blog hopper Judy Garza gold heat-embossed the Definitely Dahlia stamp on Party Animal Designer Series Paper for an elegant look.

Phrases from Thoughts & Prayers and Gold Metallic Enamel Shapes are the finishing touches.

Next, Janace Charbonneau used the "split negative" technique for her Definitely Dahlia card.

To accomplish the "split negative" technique, she stamped Definitely Dahlia twice, once with Sweet Sugarplum and once with Perfect Plum, on Whisper White squares. She then cut both squares in half so she could put them back together with the colors switched. Sweet!

Perfect Plum bumblebees, cut with a Detailed Dragonfly Thinlet, add depth and dimension.

Kathy Johnson used the "emboss resist" technique with Sweet Sugarplum, Basic Black, and Whisper White for her creation.

A Rose Wonder phrase is accented by a Stitched Shapes oval and a Layering Ovals scallop oval, as well as a Basic Black butterfly punched from the Bitty Butterfly punch, which is retiring.

Finally, a nameless-but-lovely swap using Floral Phrases, Papillion Potpourri (retiring), and the Bitty Butterfly and the Elegant Butterfly punches (both also retiring)

After stamping with Night of Navy, Mint Macaron was sponged for a soft look.

The creator also used Dragonfly Dreams elements to pull it all together.
