Embossing Resist Tutorial

 

Good evening everyone and welcome to my second project of the month using the newly released clear stamp sets from Stampers Delights. Today's card using the gorgeous Anime Cheers stamp set and the embossing resist technique. This is a fun technique and a great way to make your own fun background too. 

For this card, I used a red card base, a mat layer of dark brown and then a layer of white paper, which will be the embossed layer. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut my image as well as stamping the sentiments in red to match the card base and gathered some matching red ribbon as well. 


For the embossed layer, I used some Versamark ink, Clear embossing powder, a dark red ink (Called Merlot, which I thought would match the wine perfectly!) and my embossing powder buddy. 

If you have never used one of these before they are fabulous. Cover the card with the powder buddy by tapping the powder all over. Then when you stamp and emboss, the embossing powder should only stick to the parts with the ink on and not stick to the rest of the card. 


I used the two clocks and all the numbers and stamped them randomly all over my white card and embossed with the clear powder. It is a little hard to see in the photo, but hopefully you can see some of the embossing. It does look a bit silvery in the photo too, but this is just the light reflecting off the embossed powder.


Using a sponge blender, I then inked over the whole piece of card with my dark red ink. I then buffed over the embossed parts with some tissue to remove as much of the ink as possible. Red does tend to stain the embossing powder a little, but you can still see the effect. 


I then layered my sentiments on to more of the dark brown card and popped them and the main image up on foam pads. I added a bow to the bottom corner and some dots of glitter glue randomly for an extra touch of sparkle.


And here is the card with the stamp set...

I hope you have enjoyed this fun tutorial. I would love to see what you do with it. Don't forget to share your projects with us in the Stampers Delights Facebook Group

Double Slider Surprise Christmas Card


Hello Stampers Delights fans. I hope you have all been loving the new releases this month. I know I have and the projects from the Design Team so far have all been amazing. 

My first project this month features the adorable Chibi A Gift For You clear stamp set. I love how versatile this set is with all the different sentiments, making it so easy to use for so many different occasions. 


I chose to make a double slider surprise card using a die set and made it into a Christmas card. 

To start, I die cut the elements from the set, but essentially you need 2 large circles, 2 smaller circles, 1 smaller patterned paper circle for the main part of the card. For the slider pieces you need 2 tag shaped pieces and the layers for those if wanted and the sliders elements, which are just squares of card with 4 thin slider strips cut out. 

I stamped and coloured the main image and lots and lots of presents before fussy cutting them all out.  


Following the instructions for adding the layers, I assembled the card, so that the slider elements were attached with foam tape, allowing them to move smoothly. I then popped up my main image, sentiment banner and some of the presents on foam pads for the front. 


The rest of the presents I glued flat on to the slider tags so they would not affect the movement. 


And here is the closed card with the stamp set...



Doesn't it look cute with all those presents everywhere?! You can read more about this card and the Copic combos I have used on my blogpost here.

I hope you have enjoyed this fun, interactive card. Don't forget to take a look at all the other fabulous projects from the rest of the DT this month and why not pop on over to the Stampers Delights Facebook Group and share your own cards and projects there too?!

Quilting Technique Card

 


Hi everyone.  Today I have a great technique for any level.  With the Christmas holiday just around the corner, I wanted to make a card using the latest stamp set from Stampers Delights. 


This little chibi character inspired me to make a scene behind her with a lovely tree.  I figured that it would use the quilting technique for this in order to get a beautiful frame around my image.  



I have made a full tutorial video to show you how to make this lovely card step by step.  I hope that you enjoy the video below.
