Faux Silk Technique

Today’s card features a new technique for me. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I get a monthly magazine full of information and ideas. This card was CASEd from a Faux Silk example in that magazine. I used this technique to get that soft floral image.  It’s really easy to do, and we’ll be doing this at a future Stamp Club. 

I stamped with Rose Red ink on Very Vanilla cardstock.  Then I crinkled some tissue paper and straightened it back out.  Finally I used my Anywhere Glue Stick to adhere the tissue paper to my stamped image and trimmed the excess tissue paper.

My colors are from the Stampin' 411 Color Inspiration 147 -- Rose Red, So Saffron, and Wild Wasabi.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!

Occasions Mini Catalog -- AVAILABLE TODAY

The Occasions Mini Catalog is available TODAY! So it’s only fitting that today’s card features a couple products from the new Catalog. I used the Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to add detail to the Baja Breeze portion of my card. Then I used a couple different patterns from the Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper. This paper is really beautiful. I’ll be using lots of it. CLICK HERE to view the Occasions Mini Catalog online.

QUICK TIP: I originally saw this idea for repeating the tulip border impression on Darlene McCallum's blog. My tip is to emboss the bottom row first. Then insert the cardstock back in the embossing folder so the edge of the folder is just above the first embossed impression. If the initial impression is in the folder, the next roll through the Big Shot will flatten out that impression.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by!

Masculine Thank You card

Good morning! I’m working on the cards for my All Occasion Stamp-A-Stack, and I thought I’d show you one of the cards. This is a masculine card design – clean and simple layout with shades of greens. The Lovely As A Tree is a great stamp set for quick masculine cards. This was definitely a “10 minute” (or less) card.
A quick tip: I punched out the sentiment and layered it on the card base. A perfectly straight sentiment every time 

You can find details and other samples for the All Occasion Stamp-A-Stack by clicking HERE.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for stopping by!
