Dapper Denim – A Stamping Journey

OK, some times these blog post titles gets a bit strange. BUT, well, what else do I call it?? 🙂

This card is using the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set which you will find in the Annual Catalogue. I looked over this set so many times in the catalogue but on our weekend I got to play with it and now I love it. I might have even bought my own set now!

The Base card is Dapper Denim. Hence the Dapper in the title 🙂

First off I Heat embossed in White Embossing Powder on to Whisper White card. Then sponged Dapper Denim ink over the card. I sponged it a bit heavier over the snowflakes. (maybe a bit too heavy, but anyway!). Ink it until you are happy with the colour. Then you can go over it with a tissue to wipe off the ink from the embossed areas. I really like the magic of this as you wipe over the images. It makes the images shine. I added some stars stamped in Dapper Denim over the card.

I wanted to add some copper to this. I matted the card onto some Copper Foil Sheet. Just a tip: I cut a rectangle from the centre of the copper mat so I don’t waste it as it is just hidden under the cardstock. I am sure you can have a use for that.

I cut a “merry” from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits from Copper foil too. The Christmas is from the Holly Jolly Greetings set. I thought it needed something else so added a Copper Mini Pinecone embellishment in the corner tied with some Baker’s Twine. I think I have been converted to copper too.

Hope you like it. Have a super wonderful day wherever you are.

You can order your own ‘Holly Jolly Greetings’ set in my store HERE now.

I finally got to play with this set the other day. I have had it since we received it at Onstage. I CASED this card off a Facebook group I am on.

This is using a new set ‘Sitting Here’. I coloured the images with blender pen and inkpads and touched it up with the markers. The card base and oval mat is Crumb Cake. The embossing folder I used on the Dapper Denim card mat is the new one ‘Floral Affection’. There is 2 in the set. I love these Embossing Folders.

I think Dapper Denim is fast becoming a popular colour when I speak to people. What do you think of the colour?

Here is the stamp set if you have not noticed it yet and the Embossing Folders.
