Bloomin Love Stamp Set & Bloomin Heart Dies with a Wink of Stella Stampin Up! UK

The example I have given you in the photo's for today's blog have been changed for a White on White Version in the Video that accompanies today's blog post. It is otherwise identical
It is then up to you which version you like best.
I do love the Blushing Bridge Glimmer Paper Version, but there is also something stylish and sublime about the white on white.
Let me know which version you prefer

The main focus of today, is to de-mystify some of the terms I commonly use when stamping, and these are:

Stamping Off 
Random Stamping
2nd (or more) Generation Stamping
&
Stamping Off The Page

And all four of these techniques have been used to create the background for today's card
Watch the video for the full tutorial

Tutorial

1.    Trim a piece of Thicker Whisper Cardstock to 10" x 5 "; score the long side at 5", fold & burnish
2.  Using Smoky Slate Classic Ink Pad, use a combination of all four techniques 
mentioned at the top of today's blog post. (watch the video)
Stamping Off 
Random Stamping
2nd (or more) Generation Stamping
&
Stamping Off The Page

3.  Die cut the Bloomin Heart using Thicker Whisper White Cardstock and the following Big Shot Sandwich:

Multi-purpose Platform
Acrylic Cutting Plate
Cardstock
Wax Paper
Die 
Precision Plate

If your Big Shot is well used, you may need to use a couple of sheets of Cardboard as a Shim
4.  Remove the die front the cardstock gently. Flick your fingers against the back of the die cut to remove most of the small pieces of cardstock ... you may need your paper piecing tool to remove any tiny stubborn pieces.
5. Apply a Stampin Dimensional to the back of the die cut, on each of the 4 solid flowers, mount onto your card front.
6.  Die cut one of each small flower dies in the pack using Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (use the same 'sandwich'). and attach to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals, and add a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of each
7.  Stamp the banner from the stamp set using Smoky Slate Classic Ink Pad, and then stamp the sentiment onto this. Die cut with the co-ordinating die in the pack.
8.  Finish with a Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Glue to give added shimmer

Traveler Steam Liner


todays Stamp Set Showcase it ...

TRAVELER


This fab, vintage/steampunk style stamp set was top of my list when I had my first peek at the new Stampin Up Catalogue. I am, very much, a vintage girl at heart. If you couple that with Stampin Up's brilliant decision to start selling Kraft card, and I was in heaven, he he.

I used Lost Lagoon and Kraft card for the layers, along with lost lagoon 3/8" stitched satin ribbon to finish the card.
BUT
Did you notice the ships reflection in the water? Well, I have seen reflection techniques, but it never seemed to work to my satisfaction when I tried the various techniques out there (no doubt it was me missing out key steps!) but I had a 'Ping' moment when this stamp set arrived with my recent Demonstrator Order. And that Ping moment was, could I use the large stamp block in the Undefined Carving refill kit to make the reflected image. The simple answer is yes! and here is how I did it.

  • I took the largest lino block in the refill kit and mounted it on it's corresponding wood block. 
  • I stamped the ships image using black Stazon onto the Refill kit's mounted block
  • I then stamped the reflected image direct onto the Kraft card, pressing firmly. Be sure to do this quickly or the stazon ink will dry before you stamp.
  • Rotate the cardctock 108 degrees
  • Now to stamp the main image. Firstly take your Stamp a ma jig, line up the image sheet with the stampa ma jig, and stamp the ship onto the image sheet
  • Turn the image sheet upside down, and almost line up the reflection with the main image (to give a more realistic appearance of the water displacement), and stamp the main image.
  • Add some colour to to the Liner (I used Blackberry Bliss). You could do this by using a Stampin Write Marker Pen, or a Blender Tool and ink pad.
give it a go and let me know how you get on?
