Baby Bear Multi Step Stamping Technique in Pink Pirouette & Lost Lagoon Sneak Peak Stampin Up! UK

Do I have a Treat for you today!

I won this delightful Baby Bear Stamp Set when I attended Stampin' Up!s On Stage Live Event in April. These Stampin Up! Events are super, and I get to meet up with some of my pals, that are also Demonstrators. There was nearly 400 of us at the event in April. Throughout the day, there are Prize Patrols, where you can win a product from the new annual catalogue. And I won this one!! To say I was over the moon, would be an understatement.

So here I am, sharing him with all of you! I know you have to wait until June 1st before you can order this stamp set, but today, I really wanted to share with you the Technique used for Multi-Step Stamp Sets as some people get in a bit of a pickle. The technique is actually very easy, because these stamp sets are now always in Protopolymer. This means you can line up the stamps according to landmarks on the stamps, since you can see through the acrylic block.

I have added the video here, as it is the easiest way for you to see the technique in action. And I have kept this card design very simple for that purpose. I have coupled the card with a stamp set that is still available in the Retiring Products section of my website.

The Stamp Set is called A Dozen Thoughts. Just click on the icon below to be transported to the stamp set in my online store.

Happy Happenings Bordering Blooms Petite Petals Bockeh Technique Card Stampin Up! UK

It is almost 2am as I type up this blog, so I am keeping it quick and simple today, as we are having major problems with our broadband and wireless services at the moment. Technician is back tomorrow (umm ... make that later this-morning ha ha)to see what they can do.

Today is all about this super Bockeh Technique that is so on Trend right now.

I have used a combination of the Bordering Blooms Stamp Set with the Petite Petals Stamp set and co-ordinating Punch, along with the Happy Happenings Stamp Set for the sentiments.

The Bockeh (white dots) were created using a combination of the Circles Decorative Mask from Stampin Up!, a sponge dauber and a rubber (eraser) on the end of a pencil, with White Craft Ink. The Sponged background was created using the following ink pads:

Pink Pirouette

Blushing Bride

Rose Red

& the flowers were stamped and sponged using

Rose Red ink Pad & Elegant Eggplant Ink Pad with a piece of Stampin Sponge.

The card was decorated simply with some Basic Rhinestones.
