Fill The Season Card Tutorial

I love making fancy cards, but cards don't need a lot of fancy stuff to make them amazing.  This is simple stamping at it's finest: one card stock, one ink pad, and one stamp set.  With the few extra tools of adhesive, stamp blocks, and a paper trimmer, you can create endless looks with very few supplies.  This card uses one ink pad, but has two different shades of the ink.  That is from a technique called "stamping off."  You can load a stamp with ink and then "stamp off" some of the ink on a scrap of paper before stamping on your project.  The result is a lighter shade of the ink.  The centers of all the leaves are stamped using this technique.  Hope you enjoy the tutorial!


YouTube Tuesday Video: On Stage November 2018

I had shared a bit about Stampin' Up!'s On Stage before I left to attend, but I have not shared what new, fun things I have, nor have I shared my swaps!    So today's YouTube Tuesday video is to give you a sneak peek at some of the new products coming out in the upcoming Occasions Catalog which will be available in January.  I also show you all the amazing swaps I received.  Sharing swaps for demonstrators is a way for us to get new creative ideas and to share those ideas with you!

Peaceful Noel Bundle

Measurements:

Base:  Whisper White Thick Card Stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded at 4 1/4"

Layer 1:  Whisper White Thick Card Stock, 2" x 1 1/8"

Instructions:

1.  Stamp "Fill the Season" sentiment on Layer 2 using Tranquil Tide Ink.

2.  Stamp round leaf sprig outline in the top-left and bottom-right corners of the card Base.  Sprigs should have stems pointed towards the middle of the card and be more full at the middle of the card, and thinner at the end.  Stamp in Tranquil Tide Ink.

3.  Stamp round leaf sprig filler stamp in each leaf on card Base using "stamping off" technique.  Stamp in Tranquil Tide Ink.  To stamp off, load your stamp image with ink as normal, but instead of going straight to the project, stamp first on a scrap piece of paper to remove some of the ink.  Then stamp on project.  This will make the ink lighter.

4.  Adhere Layer 1 in the middle of the card using Dimensionals.
