TGIF Challenges 299 - Birch Wood and Sweet Strawberry

January 14, 2021

Hello friends! This week the TGIF challenges team is playing around with Background stamps. Do you have a favorite? I LOVE background stamps and have so many. I collect them. Lol. My project today features the Birch Wood background stamp.

I’ve stamped the Birch wood in a white ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. The strawberry images are from the Sweet Strawberry stamp and punch bundle.

Tip: See the little flower centers? These were created by 1. coloring each flower center with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. 2. Adding a small dab of fine tip glue adhesive to the flower center. The glue dries hard, clear and raised creating a super fun embellishment.

Play along with us! More inspiration can be found on the TGIF Challenges Blog. Happy Stamping.

Blending Brush fail … but I made this card work in the end. The paper on the Specialty Embossed Cards has a little tooth and I could not get a smooth blend. Enter operation cover it all up. Haha. This card is all paper. The scrapbook kit is called Keeping Traditions SWK. Card created for #gdp526 #stampinup #cardmakingreels

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright

Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal.
