Die Cutting Technique Blog Hop

February 09, 2021 in Blog Hop, card, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Stampin' Cut & Emboss, Techniques, Variety

Hello and welcome to February's Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! We are sharing die cutting techniques with you this month and I wanted to share how to use die cut images along with a Stampin' Spritzer filled with ink and rubbing alcohol to create your own unique pieces.

This technique is one that you could use the positive die cut image, like I have for this card or use the negative image for a reserve look! See below for steps on how you can create a spritzed image:

The first step is to mix the Garden Green Ink Refill with some rubbing alcohol. Usually I fill my Stampin' Spritzers 1/3 or half full then add 3-4 drops (a few more when its a lighter colour). Put the cap back on then shake. Do a few test spritzes first to see if it gives you the desired colour. For my card I've used the 2nd largest Stitched Nested dies shape but you could use a non die cut shape.

Step two: place the die cut leaves over the Stitched Nested shape die cut. For this example I used some tape to keep the pieces flat while I was taking pictures but when I made my card the leaves were not tapped down.

This is what the pieces look like after spritzing. Allow them to dry a bit. The alcohol will make the drying time short. On my card I glued one of the leaves behind the Stitched Nested die cut shape and added a few smaller die cut leaves that were cut from a Gold foil sheet.

Global Stamping Friends - Garden Inspiration

February 05, 2021 in Blog Hop, card, Designer Series Paper, Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop, Techniques, Variety

Welcome to February's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This month our theme is Garden Inspiration! I love my vegetable garden that is in my backyard and so look forward to planting this spring. But I'd love to grow lots of different flowers too! Maybe this will be the year??

The Fine Art Floral suite on pages 32 and 33 in the January-June Mini Catalogue is great inspiration for my future flower gardens. On each of the panels on this Waterfall card there are stamped flowery images and the last panel one of the greetings is stamped. The second greeting is on the pull piece, so as you pull down the message is revealed. You could write your message on the pull piece or inside the card. The colours used were pulled from the colours in the Fine Art Floral designer series paper.

If you'd like to see how the card looks in motion head over to my Facebook page to this post: https://www.facebook.com/FromWhereIStamp/posts/10157634645451611 And if you'd like to follow me for behind the scenes, pictures of my dog and gardening fun you can do so over on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/FromWhereIStamp

Facebook Thursday - Blending Brushes

February 04, 2021 in Birthday, card, Designer Series Paper, embossing, Facebook Live, Techniques, Videos

Hello and welcome to Facebook Thursday! Every week I pick a product to create at least one project and show you how to create it during a Facebook Live. This week I'm using the Blending Brushes to create an Emerging Colour card. To create an Emerging Colour card you start with a piece of designer series paper, stamp onto the DSP using Versamark and then heat emboss the stamped image with clear embossing powder. Using the Blending Brushes, apply the Early Espresso ink over the embossed images to make them appear and pop!

The designer series paper used for this card is new! You'll find it in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue but can earn it for free now during Sale-A-Bration. When you purchase the Starter Kit you will receive 5 packages of 6" x 6" designer series paper packs.

In case you've never joined me for a Facebook live, I go live every week on Thursday at 7:30pm Eastern on my From Where I Stamp page: https://www.facebook.com/FromWhereIStamp. Stop by and say hello! If you are unable to join me live you'll find the recording below to watch:
