Here is a technique for creating a unique “window card” using Versamark and the new SU Soft Pastels Assortment featured in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

TIP: If you order a photopolymer stamp set from SU, the stamps are fixed between two window sheets. One is a thin acetate and the other is thicker. Remove your stamps and adhere them to the case — then you have the thick ACETATE sheet to use for this project. Otherwise, the window sheets are sold on page 136 of the Annual Catalog (142314).

I clean the acetate sheet with alcohol wipes to remove any dirt/smudges. Follow my Video Tutorial for all the steps.

Basic Steps:

  • Clean the acetate sheet
  • Use a Two Step Stamp set (outline and fill stamps) like the ART IN BLOOM set
  • Use your STAMPARATUS to position your stamps on the acetate
  • Stamp with STAZON Black permanent ink with the outline stamps
  • Stamp with VERSAMARK using the “fill” stamps
  • Choose colors from the SOFT PASTELS ASSORTMENT
  • Take a sheet of GRID PAPER (cut or folded)
  • RUB the chaulk on the paper until there is a pile of powder
  • Pick the powder up using a sponge dauber and then lightly apply to the VERSAMARK on the acetate.
  • I used a background piece of Whisper White cardstock that I stamped with Memento Black ink for the LEAVES and OLD OLIVE and SOFT SEAFOAM for suble background stamping
  • Mount the acetate on Dimensionals after you have framed with Basic Black cardstock
  • I used the layering Rectangle Stitched Framelit Dies to create my frame.
  • Pick a sentiment and mount in the corner. I used the dies from the COLOR & CONTOUR Bundle
