HAPPY STAMPING!

Quiet Lake

The more I play with this stamp, the more I like it. I used lighter colors on this card. I am pleased with the result. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Quiet Reflection

Paper:

   Shaded Spruce A-2

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 4-3/4 x 3-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Classic Christmas DSP 5-1/4 x 4 

Ink:

   Shaded Spruce

   Balmy Blue

Technique:

   DistINKtive

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I inked up the bottom half of the stamp, using a Balmy Blue classic ink pad. I did this by carefully tapping on the classic ink pad, but you can also use a stamping spot, or a marker.

I then inked up the top half of the stamp by carefully tapping the Shaded Spruce ink pad. 

Next, I used my breath to moisten the ink, by huffing on the stamp and directly stamping on the top portion of the Basic White panel.

I then stamped the sentiment below the image, using Shaded Spruce ink.

I then adhered the panel onto a DSP panel. 

Next, I matted the DSP panel with a Basic White matte and adhered it all to the Shaded Spruce card front.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Misty Brain

I like the jagged edges on this stamp and the watercolor effect that it yields. Still, in retrospect, I should have maybe stamped-off at least once, or used a lighter color. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Quiet Reflection

Paper:

   Misty Moonlight A-2

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 4-3/4 x 3-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   2020-2022 In-Color DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Misty Moonlight

Technique:

   Paper Piercing

Accessories:

   Paper Piercer (Take Your Pick Tool)

   Stampin' Pierce Mat

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the image onto the top portion of the Basic White panel. This is a DistINKtive stamp, so it will show different opacity levels. 

I then stamped the sentiment below, using the same ink.

Next, I pierced the bottom two corners, using my paper piercer. If you don't have one, you can find one in the Take Your Pick Tool.

I then adhered the panel onto an In-Color DSP panel.

Next, I added a Basic White matte to the Misty Moonlight DSP, and then adhered it all to the Misty Moonlight card front.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

All Translucent

 I really like the transparency of these florals. The Translucent Florals all appear in 3-D. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Translucent Florals

Paper:

   Bubble Bath A-2

   Delightful Floral DSP 5 x 4-1/4 (cut into 1" strips - keep in order) 

   Basic White 4 x 2-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Berry Burst

   Bubble Bath

   Parakeet Party

   Pretty Peacock

Technique:

   Paper Piecing

Accessories:

   Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I cut the DSP panel into 1" strips, keeping them in order to piece them together, as shown above.

I then laid them out on the card front to figure out the spacing between each strip and to make sure I had them in order. 

Next, I adhered them in place. The top and bottom strips should be even with the card front.

I then stamped the floral images on the Basic White panel, using the inks listed above.

Next, I adhered the stamped panel onto the center of the card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of Iridescent Rhinestones and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Take Time

I stamped this scene as it appears in the catalog, using my own variation on colors. I'd like to play with it more and combine other stamp sets. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Your Path Awaits

Paper:

   Azure Afternoon A-2, 1/4 x 5-1/4

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Crumb Cake

   Baked Brown Sugar

   Copper Clay

   Old Olive

   Gray Granite

   Azure Afternoon

   Soft Sky

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Scene Building

Accessories:

   Opaque Ovals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the building, using Crumb Cake. I lined up the right side of the building with the right edge of the Basic White panel.

I then stamped the doors and windows, using Baked Brown Sugar. The stamp makes it very easy to align all of the images.

Next, I stamped the walkway with Copper Clay. I looked at the curved edge of the walkway to align it with the sidewalk of the building.

I then grabbed the Old Olive ink and stamped the grass. 

Next, I used Gray Granite to stamp the mountains. I did my best to align the edge of the mountains to the building. I probably should have moved it just a tad more to the right. 

I then grabbed the Baked Brown Sugar again and stamped the fountain on the grass.

Next, I used the Azure Afternoon to stamp the water in the fountain. I focused on aligning the top of the water to the center spike on the fountain. It will all fall into place.

I then used Soft Sky to add a few clouds. I stamped the clouds twice before re-inking the stamp.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

When I finished, I saw that the complete image was a bit more to the right than to the center of the panel. So, I cut a strip of Azure Afternoon to adhere to the left side and even it all. 

I then adhered the panel to a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Azure Afternoon card front.

Lastly, I added some Opaque Ovals and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Stillness

This distINKtive stamp set can be monochromatic, adding just the right shade of color to the images. You can also opt to add color after stamping, or add color directly to the stamp before stamping. What is your preference? 

Stamps:

   Graceful Deer

   Regal Reindeer

Paper:

   Early Espresso A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

Ink:

   Early Espresso

   Real Red

Marker:

   Real Red

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Large Oval Punch

   Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes

   Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

Since, this is a large stamp, you may choose to use a Stamparatus or MISTI to get a good impression. 

First, I stamped my image, using Early Espresso onto a Basic White panel.

I then colored the red robin in the tree, using a Real Red marker.

Next, I added some Snowfall Accents Puff Paint and heat set it. I tried to not add too much of this. I used it mostly around the bottom of the trees and the deer's feet.

I then stamped and punched out the sentiment, using Real Red ink and the Large Oval Punch. I adhered it with dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto the Early Espresso card front, added a few snowflakes, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Artistically Fancy

The Artistically Inked stamp set allows you to project yourself as a real artist. It is a distInktive stamp set. This means that it varies the amount of ink that is picked up and applied to the cardstock. I like that it appears to have been water-colored rather than stamped. What do you think?

Artistically Fancy

Stamps:

   Artistically Inked

   Something Fancy

Paper:

   Highland Heather A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Subtles 6x6 DSP 1-3/4 x 5-1/4

   Basic White 2-1/4 x 5-1/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Daffodil Delight

   Highland Heather

   Mint Macaron

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Daffodil Delight 1/4" Cotton Ribbon (6")

   Stampin' Seal

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom of the Basic White panel.

I then randomly stamped roses in Highland Heather and added a few leaves to each one, using Mint Macaron.

Next, I stamped a few small flowers with Daffodil Delight.

I attached the stamped Basic White panel to the Mint Macaron DSP panel by adding a strip of Daffodil Delight cotton ribbon to the seam of the two panels. I used Stampin' Seal for this. I wrapped the extra ribbon to the back of the panels.

I then adhered these two to the Basic Black panel using a bit of my liquid adhesive. You can use your favorite adhesive on this.

Lastly, I adhered the Basic Black panel to the Highland Heather card front, and the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is a thank you card using the same products. I did alter the measurements of the Basic White panel to 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 and the Subtles DSP panel to 1-1/2 x 5-1/4. Otherwise, everything else is the same. What do you think?

Grand Birthday

 This DisINKtive stamp set looks fabulous in any color. Still, the bolder, more vibrant hues manage to highlight the distINKtive opacities in the stamped images best. Thoughts?

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)
