Another Thank You

Another Thank You

We used the embossing resist technique on this simple card that we made for Stamp Camp last month. Embossing resist is an easy technique where you emboss your focal image in clear ink on your white or vanilla card stock and then stamp over it with your background images. The ink won’t stick to the Clear Embossing (after it has been heated). When you wipe the ink away from your embossed image (with a soft tissue) the original card stock color shows through.

On this card we stamped the large Thank you image from Another Thank You on Very Vanilla card stock and then over stamped it with the background leaves from Gently Falling. We then sponged any remaining uninked cardstock with a light rub of So Saffron to make the entire image pop. Then we just layered that piece on our Old Olive card stock base. Easy Peasy.

Thanks for looking

Belinda

Gently Falling Grunge

Gently falling

I used the Gorgeous Grunge set to  “grunge” up this quick fall card. It’s a fun and  simple technique. I sponged and roughed up the edges to add a little more distressing. I love the size of the stamps in this set, they are large enough to add a lot of detail in a very short time. Adding the washi tape over the image gives it even more depth, because of the semi translucent nature of the tape. This was one of our Stamp Camp cards this month. Quick and fun.

Be sure to check out the Thankful Thursday deal today. There are several punches specially priced at only $11.16! Artisan Label, Bitty Butterfly, Hexagon, Mosaic, Pansy

Happy Stampin!

This card is done with the new photopolymer set called Another Thank You. I embossed the thank you image and then stamped the leaves. I trimmed the edges of the burlap ribbon to give it a different look. I also used some of the trimmed strands to  add to the wispy fall look.

Another Thank You

I finished off the bow with an antique brad and held the leaves in place with little copper safety pins. Bring on the fall weather!

Mystery Hostess Event!

Thankful Thursdays is a great reason to kick off a Mystery Hostess event using the new Hostess code! You can place orders in the online store and link to a particular workshop. Your order placed in the online store will ship immediately, but the workshop can be held open all month. You could take advantage of each Thursday’s special and possibly earn Hostess rewards for the event as well! Each time you place an order this month you will entered in the drawing for the hostess rewards. This workshop will also be eligible for the extra hostess benefits!
It is really easy to order in the online store.

Here is the Hostess code for this event

GJGTYCGT

Enter this code when you place your order in My Online Store. There is a hostess code box at the bottom of the page to enter it.There is a minimum shipping charge in the online store. You can still place orders by email, but I won’t be able to add them to this particular Mystery Hostess event because of the one day specials and I would have to hold the order till the end of the month. If you have any trouble ordering in the online store, just call me and I’ll help you through it.

Good luck on being the next Mystery Hostess!

Gently Falling Birthday

Gently falling

I designed this card with Darlingman’s birthday in mind.  It ended up with a little too much froufrou, but I gave it to him anyway! He didn’t seem to mind the girly touches.

This card had a lot of steps, but nothing very difficult. The two step set makes it easy to create the leaves, by just sponging  the additional colors directly on the base stamp and then stamping the outline image over the top. Love, love, love this spice cake designer paper!

Thanks for stopping by!

Gently Falling

gently falling

Good Morning! Storms last week left me without power for a couple of days, which threw me behind on everything. I did manage to get a little stamping by flashlight done, but that was out of absolute necessity! Even with the power outages, we were thrilled to see the rain here. The cooler temperatures, though still in the 90’s, were a boost to our spirits. With everyone longing for fall weather, I thought this would be the perfect card to share today.

I haven’t stamped with a two set stamp set in a while and I have to say after using this one, I may be hooked again! I stamped the outline image, and then filled in with the background stamp. Instant coloring!  Two step stamping suits a leaf set so well, because you can add additional colors to the stamp using a sponge dauber. Love the quick and easy stamping.

I think this spice cake paper is my favorite from the new Holiday mini. The touch of blue adds a beautiful pop to the fall colors. I noticed this color combination all over the place when I was shopping the other day. I bought a shirt that matches beautifully. I feel a scrapbook page coming on…

Happy Stampin!

Belinda
