Spread the love!

Here are several techniques shared last week during my weekly LIVE. I created background patterns using the WHALE DONE stamp set and the “depth of field” stamping technique.

I also demonstrated how to use a Stamparatus to create wreaths using the GATHER TOGETHER, BEAUTIFUL AUTUMN and PEACEFUL BOUGHS stamps sets.

View the video tutorial for tips and tricks and check out the gallery of final cards. Don’t forget to leave a comment and thank you for stopping by!

  • CARDSTOCK: Whisper White and Very Vanilla
  • STAMP SET: Whale Done

Gallery of Depth of Field Technique Cards

Smokey Slate, Shaded Spruce, and Granny Apple Green. I stamped with some SILVER metallic ink to add some glimmer to this card. But it’s a great pattern for a simple card! Base card is SHADED SPRUCE with BLACK.
Smokey Slate, Misty Moonlight and Shaded Spruce. Basecard is NIGHT OF NAVY and I used a Smokey Slate (retired) ribbon for accent.
Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Mint Macaroon. Base card is SHADED SPRUCE and I used the Seaside Textured (retired) embossing folder to add some depth to the pattern. You can barely see the WINK OF STELLA…but it adds some nice glimmer.
Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, and Smokey Slate Inks. I love this background and it goes perfectly on POOL PARTY basecard with some SHEER RIBBON in POOL PARTY which is NOT retired!!! : )
Great layer of shapes on SHADED SPRUCE and mounted on Whisper White base card.
WHALE DONE

TECHNIQUE II: WREATH BUILDING WITH THE STAMPARATUS

  • INKS: Bubblebee, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Mint Macaroon, Gold Metallic Ink
  • STAMP SET: Beautiful Autumn, Gather Together and Peaceful Boughs
  • TOOLS: Stamparatus

Gallery of Wreaths using the Stamparatus

This is the first wreath I demonstrated on the video, I cut it down to create a regular card. I added so GOLD METALLIC ink accents and the base card is Early Espresso.
This is the second wreath I made in the video. I fussy cut around to create a wreath shape and mounted it on 6″x6″ Real Red card stock. I added some GOLD GEMS and GOLD trimmed ribbon as accents. I am very happy with this card.
