Inspired Events - TGIF Challenges #TGIFC131, Eclipse Technique

October 27, 2017
21368618_10214510848872838_241511384245921575_o.jpg

The Eclipse look is a very popular card making technique at the moment. I love the look of a little hidden word or element that pops out but may not be immediately noticeable. In the Eclipse technique, a layer of a project is cut with letters or shapes. Those letters or shapes are then mounted above the openings created by the cut out. I find this technique works really well when an all over stamp pattern is created on the base layer.  I used the 'congrats' word from the Sunshine Wishes thinlets to eclipse from the stamped background I created with the flowers from the Inspired Events stamp set. 

Want to see some more AMAZING projects using this fun technique? Check out the TGIF Challenges blog. You will really will be impressed with the projects shown.  Try it out! Give this technique a try and share your creation with us! I can't wait to see what you create. Happy stamping!

Pick a Pumpkin - What Will You Stamp

Pick a Pumpkin might be my favorite fall and Halloween stamp set in the 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. I can see myself using it for years to come. And, it is this weeks What Will You Stamp challenge set. I opted to make a Halloween card and stamped the jack-lantern faces onto a couple of the pumpkins from the Spooky Night Designer series papers. Additional supplies are listed below.

Check out what the WWYS team created using this set and play along with us!

Spooky Cat - Stamp Review Crew

October 15, 2017
Stamp Review Crew blog banner(2).png

Hello! I am certainly getting a lot of use from the Spooky Cat Stamp set. Did you see all the fun samples shared last week? Well, I'm back with the Stamp Review Crew sharing some creations using this set and a little bit of Basic Black and Fresh Fig. 

My first card uses the pieces & patterns washi tape to create the background. I stamped the rats and the hashmarks along the top and bottom in black adding to the pattern effect. I like the look of this background and can see this technique being effective on many card styles.

The black and fig really pop when placed on a white paper base. I'm also loving pairing just a glimpse of the Merry Music designer series paper with the back and white striped ribbon. Evokes a little mood / look of music piano keys - perhaps there is spooky harpsichord music playing somewhere?  I folded the paper so NO obvious Christmas words are peeking out. There is the word HITCH showing that on first glance might read as something else given this is a WITCH card. LOL.

Paper trickery! I used 1/4 inch strips of cardstock to create stripes. I cut these into 1/4 inch strips and offset for a checked pattern. I like how this looks like primitive Halloween decor. #heroarts #halloweencard #cardmakingreels #papercrafting
