Fanciful Fragrance Facebook Live Mini Class Video Tutorial (Recorded Live)

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the cards that I made during my Facebook Live Mini Class on Wednesday.  This week I focused on the Fanciful Fragrance Stamp Set and made three different projects using it and some of the 2018-2020 In Color products.  The 2018 - 2020 In Colors will be saying goodbye very soon and once they hit the retiring list they will sell out quickly.  So if you want to protect your invest in the ink pads you may want to go ahead and order the ink refills and any other products featuring them now, because when the retiring list hits next week they will be one of the first things to go.  Each week during my mini class I usually feature three projects for you to be able to recreate.  Here's a look at those projects.

This week I shared two cards that are easily reproduced and one of my favorite things I've ever created was the tombow Multipurpose Glue Holder.  I am super excited that I created that; I've wanted one for a long time but had trouble finding one that wasn't to expensive so I decided to make my own.  You can download the PDF Measurement Sheet by clicking here.

Rainbow Background Ornate Garden Thanks Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a fun rainbow background card for you.  I did a little heat embossing for a rainbow embossed resist background along with a little Stampin' Blend coloring.  But, the blend coloring wasn't with color I created a black and white image for the focal point of my card.  I wanted it to pop against the rainbow background.  Here's a look at today's card.  


Ornate Styles Stamp Set, Seriously the Best Stamp Set, All Wired Up Stamp Set, Ink Blending, Stampin' Blend Coloring, Rick Adkins Stampin' Up!

Tips & Tricks: 

I started out by taking a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock and covered it with my Embossing Buddy (which is a anti static powder tool).  Next I stamped the All Wired Up Background Stamp in Versamark ink using the Stamparatus.  Once I had the stamped I then added White Stampin' Emboss Powder all over the entire image.  I then heat set it using my heat tool.  Once I had the entire image heat set I let it cool completely before moving on to the step.

I then took post it tape and my heat embossed cardstock and taped it down to my board.  I taped from one corner to the other corner Once I had two pieces of post it tape ran from the four corners I came back and started the ink blending process.  I started out with Poppy Parade Ink on one side of the triangle and ink blended to the middle letting it get lighter as I went.  Next I came in from the other side of the triangle and came in with Mango Melody and ink blended toward the center in the same manner.  I then moved the post it tape around to cover the triangle I just created to protect the color I just put down.  And, repeated the process each time with two new colors working around until I got all the way around.  My colors were as followed starting from the first triangle; Poppy Parade & Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape & Melon Mambo.

Next I stamped the large flower bouquet from the Ornate Styles Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black ink using my Stamparatus.  I let the ink dry for a minute before I started the coloring process.  I used the following grays and black blends to color the image.  I used Gray Granite Light & Dark, Smoky Slate Light & Dark, and Basic Black Light Stampin' Blends to color the image.  I added in the warmer gray granite to add just a little warmth into the image compared to just using the color smoky slate and basic black.  I then cut the image out using my Paper Snips and a exacto knife for the inside part of the flowers.

I got the sentiment from the Seriously the Best Stamp Set which matches the Seriously the Best Kit from the January-June Mini Catalog.  I stamped the large thanks in versamark ink onto Basic Black Cardstock.  I added white stampin' emboss powder and heat set it.  Once cooled I used my paper snips and created a shadow around the word.  I then added some of the Basic Black Shimmery Ribbon to the card front, and placed the black and white bouquet over the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I then added the thanks that I cut out over the bouquet with stampin' dimensionals.

I finished off the card by adding a few of the iridescent sequins from the Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins.  I then added the card front onto a Basic Black 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 basic black mat before adding it to my 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Thick Whisper White card base.  Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful day.
