WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #155 – CREATE A LAYERED LOOK WITH MASKING!

Wednesday’s WOW! #155 – Create a layered look with Masking.

Here is a way to create a great effect on your One Layer cards (as in just a card front) by giving the look of layers using a mask. See how.

To create the look firstly use a post it note to mask off an area. You can position it across ways or even at an angle.

Stamp your images so they stamp over the edge of the masked area on to the card. Remove the mask. You could leave it as it is and stamp your greeting BUT to give the look of a layer. Use a ruler and Stampin’ Write Marker (Thick Tip) and draw a line. This highlights the section.

What do you think? How about trying this on a project and see how it looks.

Happy Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #154 – GETTING A CRISP STAMPING

Wednesday’s WOW! #154 – How to get a crisp stamping with Photopolymer stamps.

Sometimes when you stamp with Photopolymer stamps you don’t get the crisp stamping result that you would like. Do you find that?

I have particularly recently BUT I have a couple of tips for you to be sure to get a better stamping.

Firstly when stamping give your Photopolymer stamps a clean with the Stampin’ Mist and Scrub. This will remove some of the residue from production. You could use an eraser too.

Then when you stamp be sure to have something underneath your card. The Piercing Mat or even a catalogue. It will give you a little “bounce” and your stamped image should be much more crisper.

Did you find that helpful?

Happy Stamping,

Jenny

TWO VERSIONS OF CIRCLE CARDS + A VIDEO!

I like to make different fold cards. And it could just be a simple shape.

I have been creating circle cards this week so I thought I would put a video together to show you how. Also to give you some tips in creating them.

Here are the Circle Cards.

The Fresh Freesia version using the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper.

The Petal Pink version using the Translucent Florals.

Both are created differently. Be sure to watch to find out how to make them.

You can follow along in the video here.

Have you made a Circle card before? I hope you give them a try.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny

COLOUR INKSPIRATIONS CHALLENGE #150 WITH INKED AND TILED STAMP SET!

The Colour Inkspirations have their 150th Colour Challenge this week. I had to have a go. I first started these challenges way back near the beginning so wanted to join in with this milestone.

The Colour Challenge#150 this week was Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock.

I have to say these colours were hard to use all together.

Here is the card I created. I have used the Inked and Tiled Stamp Set.

The paper is the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper stack. I have used 2 different patterns creating a block pattern.

The flowers were inked with Brushes and Daubers to add the different colours. The White Baker’s Twine was coloured with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.

It is nothing fancy but I liked the effect.

Hope you get to have a go at it. You can create your own and post it to the Facebook Group -> HERE.

Happy Crafting,

Jenny
