Artisan Display Stamper Blog Hop: Day 2

Day 2 of the Artisan Display Stampers Blog Hop is here! I can't wait to see what the other ladies have created 😁

This time I am using the Message in a Bottle stamp set. I confess, it is my favorite 😍 There are so many great sentiments and images!! I paired this one with the Falling Petals embossing folder, cuz da, they look like hearts, 😉 What do you think of the new Powder Pink color? I love it!! It is very close to Blushing Bride, but lighter and more pure.

For the image panel (which is the largest square from the Stitched Shapes framelits cut out of watercolor paper), I stamped the bottle image first, then the strips of love image. Then I used Sahara Sand ink and an Aqua-painter to color the strips, and a wash of the Powder Pink ink around the bottle.
Then I took a 4"x5¼" panel of Powder Pink and embossed with Falling Petals, and stitched around the panel. This was then adhered to a Sahara Sand card base.
Then I took a piece of Vellum, swiped with the Embossing Buddy, then stamped with Archival Black ink, then Clear heat embossed the sentiment. I then trimmed the sentiment off into a thins strip and dovetailed the end with a square punch.
The image panel was adhered to the card with dimensionals, and the sentiment strip was slipped under the panel before it was stuck down so the dimensionals tacked it in place.
The wood cuts were adhered using Fine-Tip glue pen. All done!

Lots of texture and dimension, and yet I think this is not too lumpy to go through the mail. It will still be non-machinable, but that's ok 😉

I am the last stop in the hop, but if you started somewhere in the middle, be sure to keep clicking!

Artisan Display Stamper Blog Hop: Day 1

Now that Onstage is over, and all the videos are live, we have decided it is time to see what the Artisan Team Members that were Display Stampers around the world made! We are doing a 10 day event with a blog hop each day, so you will get to see our favorites from what we created :)

If you are following along in order from the beginning, I am the last stop, and you just arrived from Shannon Lane's blog. She is sooo talented!!

This is the most intriguing technique that I used, I think. I stumbled across it on YouTube as a recommended video, and the technique was demonstrated by Dave Brethauer. I had to try it immediately!! I used our inks, not the inks he used, and is was so simple!!

I made a quick video to show you how I did this, as I did a few things slightly different than Dave did 😊

In case you wanted to read the journaling. Or get a closer look at the results of this technique! There is a sweet new punch (Circle Tab) that coordinates with this Tabs for Everything set, and I used it here. I love how easy it is to stamp the cute images and words on the punched shape!

And how about a closer look at my better half, the handsome and sweet Jamie! Of course, you can see the rest of the stamping I did here too. I put a whole bunch of stamps on one block, ink it up with Lemon Lime Twist, then rocked and rolled it on the Bermuda Bay ink pad, and then on the Island Indigo inkpad. I cleaned the block of stamps between impressions, and filled the other side of this scrapbook page/wall art.

I hope you liked this project, and don't forget to come back tomorrow for the next installment of this 10 days of hops!

If you started somewhere in the middle of this hop, keep going! You don't want to miss what Aurelie Fabre has created!!

Oh Sweet Succulents!

All right, now that I have caught up on some of my stamping assignments, I finally have time to start posting stuff! I generally make a whole pile of projects at a time, between the days that I work. But then there is the whole blog post writing stuff to do, and I can't always squeeze that in 😏 I will try very hard to do better!

So, I love succulents. And the Oh, So Succulent bundle. So much to play with, so many ways to use it!!

I was playing with the smoosh technique. Squish your inkpad onto a craft mat, spritz with water, then smoosh your paper (in this case, watercolor paper) into the puddle of watery ink. That is what I did with this background. But this is the second panel I smooshed into that puddle. I will show you the other one another day 😀
I used Mint Macaron, Pear Pizzazz, and Sweet Sugarplum here. And some Sahara Sand. I added some stamped and die cut greenery sticking out around some corners. And I the succulents I stamped on the main image panel were inked up in their main color, then I tapped the brush end of a marker on the stamps to add some variation in color before stamping.
I also used some die cut copy paper masks when stamping the images. Those dies made that soooo easy!

Inside, I used a sentiment from Happy Celebrations along with some succulents. That came out pretty nice too 😊

I can't wait to start sharing some of the things I learned at OnStage! Only a few more days, my friends!

Until then.....
