I am wondering how many different designs I will be able to find with this versatile stamp. Here I stamped the stamp with Victorian Velvet, just a touch of the ink sprayed with water gave me such cover, I would not have minded it being a bit lighter. I punched out some tiny squares and attached to the centres. I love pink and I love flowers and thats what I achieved. Jacqueline

loooove the grid cards Jacqueline makes!!! i used here scraps and the little stamp stitched background.. background is a embossing folder from craft concepts. Thanks for looking, have a great weekend!!!

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home. I added the embossed flower using the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue. These two stamp sets work well together. The flower petals were made with the Floral Frames Framelits die. I will probably store these two sets together. : ) Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day! I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow! Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Coucou, Un peu de carterie aujourd'hui avec les tampons de la Scraposphère, pour une carte d'anniversaire destinée à une scrappeuse en herbe ... sa mère a lancé un petit appel sur FB alors je me suis laissée tenter ;-) J'ai travaillé mon fond de carte aux crayons aquarellables rose et pêche en suivant le tuto proposé par Stef sur le forum Happy Friendscrap et même si j'ai un peu dévié de l'idée originale... j'ai conservé le coté floral et les tonalités chaudes qui conviennent parfaitement à la jeune demoiselle ! J'ai ensuite ajouté du volume avec des découpes colorisées et un effet de texture en tamponnant les bords avec de la fausse couture via l'un des tampons de la Planche couture. J'ai terminé ma carte en collant mon fond sur un papier noir puis sur la carte écrue, en y ajoutant mon sentiment avec le tampon Joyeux anniversaire ... Retrouvez les tampons utilisés dans la boutique : Merci de votre visite et bonne journée ! Bizz ...

I just had to give this a try - with all the leaves I have punched out, I could make at least another ten of these and they are so easy! I added some gems just to make it sparkle! An enjoying pastime this Sunday afternoon. Jacqueline

Creating mixed media greeting cards is an opportunity to have fun and experiment with different mediums

Lots of HA stamps of this accumulation of distressed backgrounds, never used, but put to good use to bless someone one day. These are two mini digi butterflies, also HA.

Hi everyone! I'm excited today to be sharing a new video tutorial with you on using pigment powders to create different types of backgrounds with stencils. For these cards I used Brushos and Color Bursts. They both work the same way. I also focused on using Tracy Evans stamps for AALL & Create. You can find the quick video tutorial HERE (and I'm actually talking! LOL!). This first sample shows a very delicate stencil. I lost some of the pattern doing the initial print, but I love the lightness and airy feeling! This card shows a secondary print, or monoprint. These prints are always more defined and are usually bolder. Another secondary print. I gave my mom an in person demonstration on how to use the powders and she came up with this beautiful card design, which I CASEd. And a second colorway, CASEing my mom's card again. I drew these little humps to sort of frame the panel. I absolultely loved this card! It was a primary print and I lost most of the delicate stencil detail, but still loved it! You can see that I added a ton of water and this is why I lost the detail, but also what makes it less speckledy. This last card is another primary print and I added some white embossing to brighten it up. I stamped the butterfly on my pickup paper. Here you can see the card made from the monoprint beside the original. (The original is the one I used for the first card on this post with the butterfly.) And here you can see I used the original for the card and it is beside the monoprint. You can make so many beautiful backgrounds in just a couple of hours of playing! I really hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and will give it a try yourself. Just remember to put on some gloves beforehand! Here are my mom's and my hands afterward! LOL! <3 Again, find the video HERE and make sure to Pin this post for reference. xx, Autumn

I needed to finish this card too, but I had lent out the Merci beaucoup stamp to my DIL so I had to wait and didn't want to use any other stamp for the sentiment. I found a grid somewhere but can't remember where! Maria, I will send it to you by e-mail, I have it in my files.

Hi friends! I have another batch of Tracy Evans cards to share with you today that I made hanging out with my mom. If you missed my last post where I shared a fun video tutorial on using pigment powders with stencils, hop on over HERE. For this card I just used ink blending brushes with Distress Inks in Lucky Clover and Salty Ocean. I didn't blend in the center so I could put my focal stamp there. I spritzed the ink with water and blotted for a more mottled look. I used a pretty coral pink for the tips of this flower because it reminded me of a succulent. :) I tried to get a good print from the ink left on the stencil by spritzing it with water. The result was very faded, but pretty. I added some light ink blending along the edges for more contrast. This time I colored the tips with a pretty orchid color of ink - fun! Next, I made a couple of cards for Tracy's FB challenge for June/July, themed Heartfelt. I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry. I used my label tape maker to fill in the sentiment. The three birds represent my girl gang at work. I wanted to give the girls these cards to express my gratitude to them for joining me in a beautiful Bible study last month. For the second card I used repeat stamping with my stamp platform to stamp some background stamps in multiple colors. I used Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry and Cracked Pistachio. I fussy cut the center flower for dimension and left it more white. I moved onto a couple of CAS cards in a more shabby look. This flower by Tracy is one of my absolute favorites. I fussy cut a second flower and offset it for a fuller flower. I used Spun Sugar and Evergreen Bough. And for the last card I fussy cut several of those blossoms for extra dimension. The colors are prettier IRL on this one. I used Spun Sugar and Vintage Photo. I hope these cards inspire you today! xx, Autumn

I couldnt sleep so decided to get up and craft. I watched another of Eileen Godwin's on-line workshops and decided to try it myself. This is my take on Project 4 of Workshop 15. As before, I won't go into the process of making this card as it is from one of Eileen's paid workshops. However, I will detail the products that I have used for this card (I didn't have everything that Eileen used, so have improvised). Visible Image "Atomic Flower" Stencil Visible Image "Set the tone" stamp set Visible Image "Grunge Flourish" stamp Visible Image "Creative Chaos" stamp set Visible Image "Distressed Christmas" stamp set Lavinia Stamps "Filigree" stencil Lavinia Stamps "Wreath Flourish - left" stamp Wow!
