May Blossom Split Stamping Technique

By
Tried the split stamping technique that was in issue 133 of Creative Stamping mag where you have one image in two different colourways.  The inspiration for both of these makes was May blossom even though tree blossom was out in April and blown around everywhere by our unpredictable wet and windy weather!  The images were stamped on white and pink cardstock then both images cut in half and swapped over so you create two projects ...  I've made a card and a calendar page.


The white panel images were coloured with watercolour paints.  The pink panels have sparkle accents added.  Once the panels were swapped over and taped back together tattered rose distress ink was inked around the edges.  The card has a background panel dry embossed using a floral stencil, sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a strip of vellum with a stamped & die cut flower tucked in to the side.  Washi tape added to the corners of the main panel.  A few enamel dots to embellish.  Panels matted onto red cardstock.


For my May calendar page I decided on yellow butterflies and to mount the panel onto spring green cardstock.  The two positive sentiments are from other Funky Fossil stamp sets.

I've used - 5x7" white card base
Funky Fossil 2024 A5 desktop calendar
Items used from Funky Fossil's Papercraft Society Box 52
(apart from the two calendar sentiments)
Studio Light art by marlene watercolour paints
Cosmic Shimmer 3d sparkle accents; Funky Fossil starlight stellar paste
Ranger glacier white enamel accents

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP.
