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

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.

A sweet card for a sweet friend! We are CASING the amazing @tinkermom85 this week @global_design_project - I love how Wendy stamped on patterned paper to add a quick pop of color. I took a similar approach and stamped the berries from the 'Filled with Sweetness' stamp set onto red patterned paper. The green stems were stamped directly onto Garden Green cardstock and then cut out and layered onto the red berries. Play along and tag your project #gdp544 The acronym CASE typically stands for Copy And Share Everything (or sometimes Copy And Selectively Edit). It refers to finding inspiration in another person's card design-such as layout, colors, or techniques, and recreating it, either exactly or with minor changes. #stampinup #filledwithsweetness #cardmaker #cardmakingideas
Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies! Follow along below. @i.heart.stamps - You are here! @hammondandpenny @simple_stamper @bellestampinwithann @simplyfairies_kimfee @stampin_met_monique @vickiboucher @craftsomnia #useyourstash #papercraft #cardmaker #stampinup
Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list.
