In the Moment

This week I’m using the stamp set In the Moment (157987, $24). It has three main images which are line art and 3 sentiments.

I got the idea for heat embossing in white and using the white watercolor pencil from a presenter on the last onstage. Sadly I don’t have her name. 

I decided to use Pacific Point as the card base and layer for stamping. After stamping both stamps in versamark, they were covered in white embossing powder and then heated. Next I trimmed the card down a bit and matted it in white. 

The white watercolor pencil was used for the window sill and the bars of the window. When that was complete it was mounted on the Pacific Point card base. Finally a few of the Rhinestones Waves basic jewels were added.

I’ll be making this card plus two others using In The Moment at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EDT and will also copy it to my YouTube channel.

Waves of Inspiration

This week I’m using the Waves of the Ocean suite which will be featured in the upcoming annual catalog. But it’s available now. It’s a really fun and beautiful suite.

Here I’m just using the Waves of Inspiration stamp set. The stamp was inked up in Bermuda Bay and then some Night of Navy was added with a dauber. This was stamped onto a Whisper White layer. The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay and the birds in Night of Navy. The layer was added to a Bermuda Bay cardbase.

It’s a very quick card to make and really effective. I’ll be making this card plus two others at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST.  The live is also uploaded to YouTube.

Calming Camellia

Displayed here is the Stampin’ Up!’s distINKtive style of set where you get tons of detail. This is one of the two stamps in the Calming Camellia set made in this style.

I stamped the image in Just Jade on Whisper white and then added a Just Jade border. This was put onto a Whisper White card base even though it looks slightly vanilla. But I checked – it’s just the photography.

The sentiment is also from this set and was stamped in more Just Jade. I really like this incolor and will be sorry to see it go in a few months.

I made this card along with 2 others using this set at my Live yesterday. Place an order with me for $25 and be sent the packet to make the cards.

Here I stamped the main image in Pale Papaya on Whisper White – yes I’m still working through my stash! The sentiment, which is part of the Calming Camellia set, was also stamped in Pale Papaya. A Pale Papaya mat was added to the stamped layer and then put on a Whisper White card base.

Path to Greatness

This week’s product is the Path to Greatness stamp set (155454, $21). I was trying to use most of the stamps on this week’s cards and pulled in some in color 2021-2023 Designer series paper to help.

The card base is Whisper White with a 2 inch wide strip of the Evening Evergreen DSP. The sentiment from Path to Greatness is stamped in Evening Evergreen and then die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. It was then popped up with dimensionals and embellished with a bow using the Evening Evergreen chevron weave ribbon. The color is so rich and the texture is lovely. Finally I added a number of basic rhinestones.

I’ll be making this card, and 2 others with this stamp set, on Sunday at 11am EDT on Facebook. Come and join me. Share the live and be put into a raffle.
