PRODUCT PREVIEW — This is a classic and simple card! The bold colors are offset by the subtle embossed flowers. I love the red/black/white color combination. For added impact — use some of the REAL RED VELVETEEN card stock from the Holiday Catalog to create an amazingly plush Ladybug using the Ladybug Builder Punch with Black Mat Dots on the wings. The B&W Ribbon pulls the whole theme together.

Elegant Wreath Building

How to create seasonal wreaths using simple stamping techniques with ink and embossing powder using the SPARKLE OF THE SEASON Photopolymer Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up!.

LAYERING INK and CLEAR EMBOSSING Technique for Depth & Dimension

Laying colors from either a fall or winter palette creates depth. Begin with the lightest color and then layer each additional.

Add VERSAMARK and CLEAR embossing powder to the stamped image to give you two professional effects. It pulls out vibrant colors from the ink as well as adds dimension to your stamped image. You can even apply two layers of Versamark to your stamped image (Holly Wreath example)

Use the steps from the video tutorial and apply them for making any of the featured examples for Fall Leaves, Evergreen, and Winter Holly wreaths.

Fall Wreath

BUMBLEBEE, TERRACOTTA TILE & CHERRY COBBLER are the fall colors chosen for this autumn wreath. COPPER embossing adds metallic shine. Embellish with Metallic Pearls.

Evergreen Wreath

SOFT SEAFOAM, SOFT SUCCULENT & SHADED SPRUCE are the ink colors chosen to create this winter pine wreath using the same layering technique. Pine Cones are COPPER embossed. Embellished with Red Rhinestones and Red Ribbon. Sentiment from the GREAT TIDINGS set.

Easy Wobble Card w/ Hand-stamped Background

February 18, 2020 by Kat

Spread the love!

Here’s a fun and easy wobble card that is simple to assemble and will bring a smile to whoever receives it! It is a wobble card that features the turtle from the “Back on Your Feet” stamp set from Stampin’ Up with a creative hand-stamped background.

Inspired by a card I made for a family member recovering from surgery; I created my own background for the “Back on Your Feet” turtle using the stamp-stamp-off technique, fussy cut the rolly-polly turtle after some Stampin’ Blends color and popped on a WOBBLE SPRING to create my wobble card!

With the Beginning or Casual Stamper in mind, this is great card to employ the stamp-stamp-off technique, fussy cutting, blending colors with the stamping blends, designing using a monochromatic theme and adding a special feature like the wobble spring.
