Today’s Tiles

Leave a reply

This week I’m featuring the Today’s Tiles photopolymer 8 piece stamp set (152528, $21). It reminds me of Spanish tiles that I’ve seen in Barcelona and it makes me happy.

It’s a 2 step stamp and I found it easiest to use the stamparatus since I was planning to make a number of cards. The image was stamped in Misty Moonlight and Bermuda Bay. Isn’t it vibrant? I added a Bermuda Bay sentiment from the Today’s Tiles set and mounted the layer onto a Bermuda Bay card base. A Misty Moonlight bow finished off the card.

Prized Peony

Leave a reply

This week’s product is the Prized Peony bundle although I’m only using the Prized Peony stamp set today. And I couldn’t decide on which color I liked best, so I made both! Which do you prefer?

Both cards are the same – and hard to photograph – they look better in person! I used versa mark for the image and the sentiment and heat embossed the silver powder. I added a mat of silver foil to match the embossing. The sentiment comes from Love of Leaves. The card bases are two of the new in colors (and my favorites of the five) Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.

I’ll be showing these cards along with the two earlier in the week on my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST – I also upload it to YouTube.

Love of Leaves bundle

Leave a reply

The Love of Leaves bundle consists of the Love of Leaves stamp set and the Stitched Leaves dies (155195, $47.50). As I mentioned earlier, the die cuts leave the stitched detail on what you’ve cut out of. Obviously, I needed to use that piece too.

This time I used Very Vanilla as my card base and top layer.  First I die cut the leaf out of the top layer. You could just layer it on top of the mango melody layer but I decided to use sponge daubers and give more texture. Next was the sentiment which is from the Love of Leaves set and stamped in Mango Melody.

This is a very simple card to make but I think it’s quite effective. When die cutting this card, I realised that I haven’t yet played with the embossing parts of the die set. I definitely need to do that!

I’ll be showcasing the three cards from this week on my Facebook Live at 11am EST today. No Facebook? I upload the video to YouTube as well.

Feels Like Frost

Leave a reply

Here’s another two cards using the Feels Like Frost DSP and neither of them are for Christmas.

This is a very unusual card for me since I really don’t like grey, but here I have to admit that it works really well. I’ll tell myself that the card base is silver rather than Smoky Slate and we’ll be okay. Right? I matted the DSP with whisper white and added that to the silver coloured card base leaving a wide border of the card base showing. I like the balance. The sentiment comes from Peaceful Moments which was cut out with the Stitched Shapes framelits dies and then popped up with dimensionals.

This is the same layout as above but it has a different feel due to the colors. The previous card felt warm, this one is a bit cool. I layered the piece of DSP onto a Night of Navy mat and then onto a thick whisper white card base. Next I stamped the sentiment from Blossoms in Bloom in Night of Navy, cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped it up with dimensionals.

I’ll be doing my usual Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST and will demonstrate a number of cards using the Feels Like Frost DSP. I’m hoping to show you that it’s not just for Winter and Christmas.

Queen Anne’s Lace

Leave a reply

This week I’m showing you cards using the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set. My apologies for being a day late, but the storms caused me to be without power or even cell phone coverage for 32 hours. Not a problem apart from my blog since I’d had to hurriedly change this week’s set since my originally planned choice is on backorder.

I stamped the stems in pear pizzazz and then heat embossed the flowers in white. It’s fairly subtle but I really like how it came out. I matted with pear pizzazz and used the same colour for the sentiment which also comes from the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set. I then layered that onto a thick whisper white card base. As I often do, I die cut the sentiment using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies and popped it up with dimensionals.
