Thursday's Tip

Thursday's Tip!

Do you know what else the Storage Topper Lids are good for?

Storing my ready to use pieces so I don't lose them on my desk... it happens to all of us, doesn't it?

This little tray is the perfect size to hold my pieces while I am cutting cardstock or doing other steps on the card before I need them.

Colour Inspiration Part 3

I'm so excited about this card!

The background is stamped with two images from the Beauty Abounds Stamp Set (Item 148726).  I used the same baby wipe to ink up those images and stamped on a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I also stamped the butterfly antenna in Highland Heather.  I adhered my Whisper White layer to a Mint Macaron layer and ran that through my Big Shot with the Country Floral Embossing Folder (Item 151823 Available June 4).

The Hello Beautiful and Butterfly images are from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set (Item 148580).  It coordinates with the Butterfly Duet Punch (Item 148523).

Cardstock used: Mint Macaron, Highland Heather, Whisper White

Other Supplies: Basic Adhesive Backed Sequin Pack (Item 146933), Highland Heather Ink Pad, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Reinkers, Tombo Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, Regular and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals

I hope you enjoyed my Colour Inspiration card this week.  I'll have another one for you next week!

If you'd like to make this week's card, please let me know and we can set up a class date.

Happy Stamping Friends!

Colour Inspiration Part 2

Mint Macaron, Petal Pink and Highland Heather are from our Subtles Collection. Because they are similar tones, they compliment eachother really nicely. For a bolder look, you could use Gorgeous Grape instead of Highland Heather. 

My next inspiration was a photo my mom sent to me. It was a card using the Baby Wipe Technique. I haven’t done that technique in a long time so figured it was time!

For the technique:

1. Fold two baby wipes together and place them on a tile coaster (or a dish or plate. Just something so your work surface doesn’t get wet).

2. Use your reinkers and drop random spots on the baby wipe. You need a large enough area for the size of stamp you are planning to use. (My wipes are folded in quarters)

3. I am using this technique to fill in an outline image so I stamped my outline images first. 

4. “Ink” up your stamp on your wipe and then stamp on your card stock.

5. Every time you ink, your stamped image will look different and I love the watercolour effect using these three colours!

If you want to try this technique and don’t have reinkers, please use the Host Code VPQBM2EY when placing your order so I can send you a thank you gift 🎁

Now I know what you’re thinking, that looks like a hot mess! But trust me, it looks amazing once stamped!

Here are all my butterflies stamped. The outline image is stamped in Highland Heather. 

Here are my butterflies punched out!! Don’t they look cool 👌

Tomorrow I will post my finished card.

Happy Stamping Everyone!
