2010-2012 In Colours

Hi everyone!

I've been playing with the current In Colours and 'Vintage Vogue' stamp set lately and came up with two cards to share with you.

The first card I used my Peach Parfait marker to colour the white taffeta ribbon and then ruffled it... I think this really makes the card!

Stamp: Vintage Vogue

Cardstock: Peach Parfait, Whisper White

The second card uses a technique called faux silk, which I used on the flower.

Envelope Card

Hi everyone!

Today I'd like to share a great technique called the Envelope Card. It's an envelope that's been sealed, then run through the crimper and has a card tucked inside!

Thanks for stopping by and happy stampin'!

Bright and colourful!

Hi everyone!

I've got quite a bright card for you today... slip on your sunnies and take a look! I was inspired to create something bright and colourful as spring is only 3 weeks away - woohoo!

This technique is called inlaid embossing and it is so easy to do! First I stamped the images onto cardstock, then punched them out. I then adhered them to my cardstock mat and run it through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice embossing folder.

Stamps: Circle Circus, Word Play

Cardstock: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Melon Mambo

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight

Punch: Decorative Label, 1' circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1 3/4" circle

Embossing Folder: Square Lattice

Ribbon: Whisper White 5/8" Satin

Happy stampin'!

Vroom vroom!

Hi everyone,

Well, winter is certainly upon us down here in Southern Victoria, Australia! It's cold and we've had a lot of snow on the mountains so far!!

Today's card is all about the men! Grunge, metal, chrome, motorbikes! I think that sums it up! I was inspired by Miriam Spiess and used Shimmer Paint to dab on the cardstock and also to rub the ink pad directly onto the card base to give it that grunge look.

So Glad We're Friends!

Hi everyone!

Today, I've used a simple technique to create a beautiful card. The main image has been stamped in Basic Grey, then a faux shadow was created by stamping the same image again, slightly offset in Whisper White - neat, huh?

Cardstock: Basic Grey, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss (retired)
Ink: Basic Grey, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss (retired)
Paper: Urban Garden DSP (retired)

Happy stamping!
