Ink Swipe Technique Card Technique Tutorial

Posted on by

Do you enjoy learning new technique that you can use in your projects? I know I do and fall is a great time to dust them off and use them since they can create a wow factor to your projects. So today I’m sharing a Ink Swipe Technique that I recently shared with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers at our October Team Meeting.

This technique is quick and simple to do using some of your favorite colors for fall. And why not pull out that Very Vanilla card stock too? I love using this card stock during the holidays as it has a warmer less bright feel to it.

Want to see how I created this card? Check out my video tutorial and PDF.

Loveliest Tree Ink Swipe Technique Card & Technique Book Page PDF

Not only does my PDF contain everything you need to create this card, it also has a fun technique page for a technique book you can build to keep the tutorials in.

I don’t know about you, but when I first started stamping I kept every card as a reference, which was silly since I should have been using them! These technique book page is something I share in my classes just like the card sketches. So why not join me for a class and learn some fun new things?

More Amber Autumn

Posted on by

Today’s card shows off both sides of it’s Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper (165882) with a simple fold.

The images from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set (165883) have been colored using Stampin’ Blends for a bold look and instead of using the traditional Memento Tuxedo Black the image has been stamped in Early Espresso Classic Ink.

This Joy Fold Card has a bit of a twist. Instead of using the card stock as the left side of the card as is traditional it uses the layer of Designer Series Paper instead. Open the card and it shows off both lovely patterns.

Simply take your traditional card base and adhere the 6″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper that has been scored at 4″ onto the card front. Then add your focal point panel (a piece of Old Olive card stock that measure 6 1/2″ x 3 1/2″; scored at 3 1/4″) to the card front as desired. Open the card base and you still have a large area for your message too. Cool right?

Did you know that you can use our Classic Inks when coloring with our Blends? Since they are water based you can use any of the Classic Pads to customize your look, why not give it a try for your next project?

If you enjoyed this little twist on the Joy Fold card why not try it for a card you’re making? I love swapping with my fellow demonstrators and learning new little things like this so I can share them with you!

Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial with you that is perfect for fall!

This card uses not only the Label Me Grateful Bundle (Online Exclusive 166112), it also uses the wonderful Need for Tweed Designer Series Paper  (Online Exclusive 166144) a pack of paper that is filled with tons of texture making it perfect for this project.

More texture has been added with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049) in the background and fun little embellishments that include Linen Thread (104199) and Pressed Flower Motifs (165215).

The leaves are scattered across my front lawn and the golds are showing off their colors already. Where did the summer go? With the holidays around the corner I thought I’d share some wonderful Autumn cards with you today using the Amber Autumn Stamp Set (165883) and their coordinating dies.

This Bundle is part of the Autumn Toile Suite (165904) so you have lots of wonderful products to create with.

today’s card both use the Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper (165882) with it’s rich fall color pallet and images. This first card uses a fun fold to show off the beautiful paper.

Open it and you’ll see the first sentiment hiding behind the Autumn Wishes.

Lift the flap and you’ll see the signature panel along with the other side of the Designer Series Paper, showing you the full coordination that we all love Stampin’ Up! for.

This next card uses the same pattern of Designer Series Paper but takes a different direction

using the Cajun Craze as a bold pop of color against the Early Espresso. The sentiment has been punched out using the Modern Oval Punch (162234) and popped up along with the die acorns and leaves to give it a bit of shadow. The Rhinestones have been colored with the Stampin’ Blends add a bit of richness to the card.

Fun Techniques with Autumn Leaves

Posted on by

You can hear the leaves rustle? We’ve had a breezing cool few days here in North Georgia and the colors have really started to pop against the hill sides and along the roads. It feels like it’s happened overnight, but I know it’s a combination of shorter days and cooler nights that create this wonderful array of colors. So today I thought it felt right to share a couple of autumn inspired cards using the Autumn Leaves Bundle (162186).

This bundle has some great sentiments and images for fall crafting and today’s cards use a couple of simple techniques to create some great autumn cards. This first card uses the fun Baby Wipe Technique that uses our Reinkers.

Grab a couple of baby wipes, a few reinkers of your choice and create your own ink pad to create this look. How’s it done? Fold your baby wipes so they create a a size that will work well with your stamp choice, use your of rinkers and place drops of ink randomly around the surface, repeat until you have a variety of colors filling in the space. Then go ahead and stamp! Yep that is it. Just a tip tho, you’ll want to clean your stamp in between your stamping as you’ll muddy the colors on the baby wipe if you don’t. Have fun with it and enjoy the process, you’ll create an original look each time you stamp!

And this next card uses a fun “spot light” technique with the All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (162178).

The leaf shape die has been used to cut out the card front stamped panel and then again from the Designer Series Paper. The Designer Series Paper has been placed in the negative spot using Stampin’ Dimensionals creating a bit of a shadow effect. The Crumb Cake card base peeks through from behind enhancing this effect. The tone on tone stamping is a great backdrop and the bit of Linen Thread (104199) and Adesive Backed Speckled Dots (162191) ties the color scheme together nicely.

So what do you think? Need a birthday card? simply swap out the sentiment with one of your choices these layouts aren’t just for Thanksgiving.

Rustic Crate

Posted on by

Today’s cards use the Rustic Crate images for Autumn. This set is one of those with lovely images and sentiments that you can use through the fall, winter and even spring. Simply switch out the image that fills the crate or use it on it’s own.

Today’s cards use the fall image on it’s own. This first card teams up two of our In Colors, Copper Clay and Pebbled Path.

The Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (159178) add a bit of interest to the background and the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) adds a bit of texture to the card. And this next card has a more traditional autumn color pallet.

Stampin’ Blends have been used to create bold color on the image and a bit of color has been added to the panel using our Blending Brushes (153611). A bit of the Burlap Ribbon found in our Combo Pack (160386) has been used to add a bit of texture and the crate image has been stamped in Pecan Pie to create a tone on tone back drop.

So what do you think? Can you see this Bundle as a choice for your crafting needs? Why not stop by my Online Store and check this and other choices for your fall crafting needs?

More Autumn Leaves

Posted on by

As promised today I’m sharing more cards that I received in my recent swap using the All About Autumn Suite Collection (162193). This Suite might be just the thing you need for your fall creations.

Whether you need a fall birthday card or Thanksgiving card this Suite is filled with the colors and textures of the season. Here are a few cards to show you just how much versatility is in this Suite. This first card uses the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (162178) to create a quick and easy card for a birthday with just 3 little strips.

The leaves are cut from the foil side of this pack of paper adding a lovely bit of shine and the very popular Adhesive Backed Speckled Dots (162191) add a coordinating pop of color. This next card uses simple stamping using Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, and Crushed Curry.

Some texture has been added with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (162189) and Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack (162192). And finally a bit of shine from our Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper (162190).

The All About Autumn Designer Series Paper (162178) is used in the background to add a bit more texture and color. Fall teaches us change can be lovely – I love this sentiment, as our season changes as children it’s one of our first lessons.

Enjoy the cooler temperatures as we dive into the month of October, can you believe it’s just a few days away?
