Collage Background for Handmade Cards Using Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! UK

I hope you have a great weekend planned, and that the weather is as lovely as it is here in Essex UK?

We have our grandchildren staying with us, and will be taking them and our dogs to the Park for some fun time together

Before we go. I wanted to share with you the third of three cards with you featuring the

KINDA ECLECTIC

STAMP SET

 from Stampin' Up!

Kinda Eclectic is a Versatile Collage Stamp Set that is perfect for creating your own Designer Series Papers.

Despite using the same stamp set and ink pads for all three cards, each card has a unique look, just by altering the design template, dies and accessories

In this sample, the Island Indigo (blue) is much more prominent in this card.

The Rich Razzelberry Ombre Ink Pad, has again been used for the butterflies, and by using a different area of the ombre ink pad, you get different shades of colour for the butterflies.

I have kept the accessories simple with some Tip Top Taupe Mini Stripped Ribbon and Basic Rhinestones.

Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set & Creating Unique Backgrounds for your Handmade Cards Stampin' Up! UK

Today I am sharing with you the second card in a set of three that I made recently. They feature the Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set, and I used a combination of the stamps in the set to create a unique hand-stamped Designer Series Paper. This is always a great favourite technique in my Card & Papercraft Classes. Half the fun is getting really inky fingers to show the loving effort you put into creating  your card

The Colour-scheme is

Always Artichoke

Old Olive

Island Indigo &

Rich Razzelberry Ombre Ink Pad

The card base is Island Indigo to tie in with the stamped background on  

This set of cards, are very resourceful to make if you purchase one of the Ink Pad & Cardstock Assortment Bundles, giving you a saving compared to purchasing the items individually

In this case Most of the ink pads, come from the Regals Color Collection

The great thing about these colour collections, is that they are co-ordinated within their own colour collection AND all the other colour collections in the current Stampin' Up! Catalogue.

So if you are a novice card maker, or you are returning to Card making (or memory keeping), you can start creating immediately, as all the colour combo work is already done for you.

Plus, there is a large range of co-ordinating products, from ribbons, to decorative papers, rhinestones, pearls & ,much more

So have a go at creating your own backgrounds, then follow my Stamping At The Warren Community Pinterest Board (see the side bar on this blog) and I will invite you to join the board, where you can begin pinning your own creations (full details at the bottom of today's blog post

Tutorial

1. CARD BASE - Trim a piece of Island Indigo Cardstock to 30 x 10.5 cms; score long side at 14.9 cms; fold & Burnish
2. Trim a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 14.4 x 10.1 cms & adhere to the inside of the card base for your to write your greeting on (I used Tombow)
3. Trim another piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 14.4 x 10.1 cms, this is going to be stamped to make your background; Begin by stamping the Ombre Ink Pad several times across the centre of the card base (horizontally) ... this gives a grungy feel to the background.
4. Randomly Over-stamp this panel with the dotty stamp using Island Indigo Ink Pad, with 4th generation stamping technique (this means you ink up the stamp & stamp the cardstock four times before re-inking the stamp) 
5. Using the Island Indigo Ink Pad, stamp the Sunburst twice without re-inking (second generation stamping technique)
6. Take the Leaf Stamp and onto scrap Whisper White Cardstock, stamp one leaf using Always Artichoke Ink Pad, and another using the Old Olive Ink Pad; Fussy cut these out using Paper Snips (remember to rotate the cardstock and not the scissors when fussy cutting)
7. Stamp your sentiment onto another scrap of Cardstock in black ink and Die cut using the best fit Layering Oval Framelits Die
8. Next, using the Ombre Ink Pad, stamp the larger butterfly three times onto scrap white cardstock, using a different area of the ink pad to get tonal differences.; Punch these out using the elegant Butterfly Punch.
9. Wrap around a piece of Stitched Satin Ribbon and tie a bow.
10. Mat this panel onto the card base; add stampin dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and the leaves you cut out and mount into the card front; Add the butterfly's using Mini Glue Dots, Finish with some Enamel Shapes and basic Rhinestones

Handmade Card Kinda Eclectic Ombre Technique using Stampin' Up! Products UK

I am off dog walking  shortly, so I will keep today fairly brief ...If I can,, as I do like to yak on lol

Today's card is one of three that I made as a class project this week. The techniques for this week, were Ombre and Making your own Designer Series Paper

There was just one stamp set used

KINDA ECLECTIC

The great thing about these techniques, as each and every background will be different ... and that is why you will rarely see me using Designer Series Papers. I do, just not often ... I am a rubber stamper at heart he he

I used the Rich Razzelberry Ombre Ink Pad for the sentiment.

The key to these ink pads, is using little circles rather than stamping using the entire ink pad, since that results in lines. I have included a Video Below showing your how best to use these fab new kind of Ink Pad. & the Tutorial is beneath the Video
