Markering Technique featuring the Prized Peony Bundle Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a fun and easy technique with you on how to get multiple colors on one stamped image.  This is a super easy technique but looks like you spent hours inking up the stamp or used multiple stamps to create the look.  I am going to share with you how to do the markering technique.  On my card today I used the new 2020-2022 In Colors and the Prized Peony Bundle.  Here is a look at my project.  


As I mentioned above this is a super easy technique that just gives fabulous results but there are a few tips and tricks you need to be aware of.  So to start this technique uses water based markers.  You get the best effect with those.  You can use the blends but you take the risk of damaging your blends and staining your stamps without being able to remove the stain.  Plus the alcohol in the blends could ruin your stamps.  Anyway, the stampin' blends work the best and are quick and easy to do.  The hardest part of this technique is knowing where to add each color.  

 
I used the new 2020-2022 In Color Stampin' Blends for my coloring today.  I used every one of the colors to achieve this multicolored look on the stamped image on my card.  This technique also works best on cling stamps because the red rubber has just a little more grip for the ink from the markers to hold onto.  You can do it with photopolymer but it takes a little more effort.  I started out my inking up the Bumblebee areas first.  You will always use the side of your maker (the brush tip) to ink up your stamps.  I then came in with Just Jade on the leaves and stems.  I wanted a little shadow to the some of the areas on the leaves and stem so I added just a touch of Misty Moonlight here and there.  


Next I came in with the Magenta Madness Stampin' Write Marker and colored in the Peony.  I also came back in and added just a little Cinnamon Cider to the edge of the center of the flower where I had the Bumblebee.  The Cinnamon Cider didn't show up as much this time as it did in my trail card.  But, was something I expected since each time you do this technique you get a little different result each time.

So, as you can see I have a beautiful multicolored stamped image that I didn't have to spend hours inking up with ink pads, no masking areas that I wanted to be a certain color, or ink everywhere on my Stamparatus plates.  Some key takeaways to remember are; make sure to use the side of the brush tip on your stampin' write markers, start with your lightest color and work darker, make sure to huff on your stamp to remoisten the ink before stamping down, and the most important tip of all have fun playing.

Blogging Friends Blog Hop - Summer Parties


Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing the project I made for this month's Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This month our theme was Summer Parties.  So, I thought what would make a good summer party invitation and I immediately thought of the Whale of A Time Suite of Products.   So I pulled out my products along with some others from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and got to work.  This is the card I came up with.  


I started my card design by picking my piece of designer series paper.  I knew I wanted to use the Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper as my background.  So I picked my pattern paper.  But, I needed a sentiment so I picked out the Playful Alphabet Dies and created my own.  I attached one of the Foam Adhesive Sheets to a scrap piece of Pool Party Cardstock and cut out the words You're Invited.  I the adhered them to my designer series paper.  

 
I then attached my  designer series paper piece to a Calypso Coral Mat that was cut at 4 1/8 x 5 3.8.  Next I attached this to my card base.  I stamped the whale from the Whale Done Stamp set and used the matching punch to punch it out.  The whale was popped up on a few Stampin' Dimensionals under the sentiment.  I then added a few of the Whale of A Time Sequins around the card using mini glue dots to finish off my card.  I love the tone on tone sentiment and how it pops out on the foam adhesive sheets.

Shirt & Tie Card Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I have a super cute and fun card tutorial for you featuring the Many Mates Stamp Set and the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper.  I am going to share with you how I made the Shirt & Tie card I shared on my blog a week or so ago.  This is a great card for you to make now with Father's Day coming up soon and the best part is it's easy.  The Shirt & Tie card looks way more complicated than it really is.  Here's a picture of my card.

Tips & Tricks: 

The shirt and tie card is really easy to do as I mentioned above.  It's just a few pieces of designers series paper and cardstock, a card base, and a little stamping.  For this version of the card I used a Magenta Madness card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 as the base.  I used a piece of Whisper White Cardstock as the shirt.  The only scoring you have to do for the shirt is at 5/8" at the top of the Whisper White Cardstock.  Once you have it scored you will cut in on both sides of the score line one inch.  I lined the Whisper White layer back up at 5/8" and cut in from the left side to the one inch mark on the clear trimmer guard.  And moved it over to the other side at four" and cut in to 3" on the clear trimmer guard.

You are going to fold the to cut pieces into the middle of the cardstock to form the collar as seen above.  For the tie you will need a four by four inch piece of designer series paper.  You can use any designer series paper that you would like.  I picked the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper for my tie because I think it has fun patterns and makes fun colorful ties.  Which are something that I like.  You may want to pick one of more subtle patterns.  There are plenty to pick from in this pack of designer series paper.   Another pack that's in the new catalog that would be fun to make ties with is the Pattern Play Designer Series Paper.  To see how I folded the tie watch the video tutorial I will walk you step by step on how to do it.

After you get your tie made and attached to the card front with Mini Glue Dots you are going to stack two Stampin' Dimensionals on top of each other and press each side of the collar into the adhesive.  The double dimensionals will give enough height that the bulky top part of the tie in not in the way of the collar closing.  Finish off with a couple of the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots on the collar to look like buttons.  Once you have the shirt and tie made it's then just a matter of attaching it the card base.  I used liquid glue for that and centered it on the card base so there was a nice margin all the way around.  

Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful day and that you give the Shirt & Tie card design a try.  It really isn't as hard as you think it looks.  I was quite surprised myself at just how easy it was.  If you need any of the supplies I used today they can be picked up in my online store.  You will find a list of everything I used in the Shopping List below.
