Fancy Folds: Pop-Up Tree Lot Card

September 7, 2022August 30, 2022 by Kat

Spread the love!

This POP-UP card features the TREE LOT DIES that were offered during SALE-A-BRATION and the TREES FOR SALE stamp set.

This card is all about the DETAILS….the camper dies to offer exactly that — great detail to create the centerpiece for this tree lot “diorama”. Die cut the sign and dog to add fun and whimsy.

This is very much a “fancy fold” technique card since it features “mountains” and “valleys” to create the pop-up insert. My Project PDF will provide the POP-UP template (that can be adapted for other projects) as well as all project and product details.

Lastly, blending, masking, and stamp-stamp-off techniques are featured for creating the background.

Tonal Stamping using the WAVE of INSPIRATION “wave” stamp

February 23, 2022 by Kat

Spread the love!

I’m back with the “big wave” stamp from the Waves of Inspiration Collection. I love exploring all the ways you can use a stamp to create different techniques.

In this case, the Two-Tone technique uses two complementary colors to create some depth (Balmy Blue, and Misty Moonlight) when added directly to the stamp. When the ink is applied using an Aqua Painter, you get an even more ethereal effect. Both variations of the same technique are worthy of some creative exploration — especially with this collection. Please check out my short Video Tutorial.

I applied ink using a Water Painter to create an ethereal wave effect.

NOT ALWAYS PERFECTION: We may strive for perfection — but it is not always what we get. We all make those mistakes or “boo-boos” when stamping. Rather than get flustered during my tutorial — I worked through the problem to give you some ideas on possible solutions to a very common stamping problem — the ink “halo” created from too much ink on a rubber stamp.

*The ink “halo” created from a seagull stamp is somewhat camouflaged– : )*

Another color combination — Pacific Point and Pool Party.
