Irresistible Inking Techniques

Irresistible Inking Techniques

Hello and welcome to my project submission for this fun class that taught interesting ways to use inks beyond stamping.  There are so many different ways to use your ink...painting with ink pads, using your acrylic blocks to ink your paper, brayers, direct to paper, oh my, so many ways to use ink!  


The technique I used was direct to paper, using the ink cube (I used Dark Chocolate Crisp Dye ink) down the cardstock to create the woodgrain look.  Do you see it?   I also kept this card clean and simple to highlight the woodgrain look!  I die cut one of the larger clusters from the Leaf Clusters die set from Altenew and the sentiment I used was from the Build a Flower Columbine stamp set.  I love the hello darling! sentiment.  


I love the vellum band I created behind the leaf cluster.  Super easy, just run two strips (different widths) of double adhesive tape and cover with gold embossing powder and heat set.  TaDa!  Isn't that technique fabulous!? Please give it a try, you have nothing to lose because it's just paper!!

  Clean & Simple Boutique Cards Well, hello!  Welcome to today's project submission for the class Clean & Simple Boutique cards.  What an amazing class!  Who doesn't love a boutique first of all and then add clean & simple...I am in!  In this class we learned about simple styling, backgrounds you can make in a variety of ways to elevate your cards and many other  fabulous techniques.  I was inspired by the gorgeous Slim Deco Cover Die by Altenew.   Hello Deco Drive, am I right!?     My other inspiration was the color Navy along with Gold.  I chose to create a luxury paper using Altenew Gold Foil Cardstock and the Slim Deco Cover die.  I just think this combo created a luxurious background.  I chose to keep it simple and heat embossed in gold the Build A Flower Coneflower by Altenew.  I just love the look of the white and gold on Navy.  To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment from the Dotte...

Celebration: Stencil Techniques

  Celebration:  Stencil Techniques Let's Celebrate!  Every day is the perfect day to celebrate, but that is not why we are here today, right!  So the fabulous Laurel Beard led this cool class on stenciling.  I love stenciling!  So many fun techniques!  Which technique do you prefer?  Layering stencils, using stencils to dry emboss, stamping with stencils, creating texture with stencils...I could go on and on, but lucky for you, I won't!   Today I am sharing two cards with two different techniques using stencils.  The first card entailed stenciling with modeling paste otherwise known as embossing paste and/or texture paste, they are all basically the same thing.  The stencil used is the Leaf Bed stencil by Altenew.  I wanted to add a little bit of color to my modeling paste, so I smooshed some Greenfield Crisp Dye ink onto my craft mat and mixed it in with the modeling paste to give it this beautiful green color. ...
