Happy Congratulations and Two Step stamping

What a wonderful set this is for any sort of celebration. It could be a card for an engagement, wedding, birthday or just an invitation to an event.

It's the very simple Two Step stamping technique that is used here. You simply stamp the outline stamp and then stamp the solid ornament stamp within the outline. I find it easier to just 'eyeball' the placement of the second stamp with the clear stamps. You could use a stamp-a- ma- jig if you wanted to be very precise but I like the more informal look of 'eyeballing'.

I have made a short video here to demonstrate the technique

 

How nice is the Night of Navy and Real Red combination!

 

This one took a bit longer as I embossed the design in gold. I did it in stages- first the outline and then the ornaments and then the sentiment. I used the embossing buddy before each stage. I matted it with Stampin Up metallic gold card and the card itself was Very Vanilla

F

The colour combinations here are Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Real Red

 

 

This time Elegant Eggplant and Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry. Isn't the Congratulations stamp a nice stamp?

 

 

It doesn't really look like it but this is Rich Razzleberry and Smokey Slate. I really like the simplicity of this design.

 

 

Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie. The sentiment is printed from MDS.

 

 

What a simple design for an invitation. Real Red and Island Indigo here.

 

 

I love the colour combinations of Gumball Green, Island Indigo, Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry.

Well that's all I am going to do using this set! At least for now. Happy stamping.

Emboss Resist technique

 

This is one of my favourite techniques. You could emboss 10 cards with the same stamp and inks but each one usually looks a little different.

The above design is embossed with Flowering Flourishes and brayered with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant.

 

 

This one was cased from Alison Barclay. Ihttp://gothdovedesigns.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/stampin-up-australia-color-coach-card-9.html. I used Pool Party and Island Indigo applied with a brayer.

 

This was simply brayered with Pool Party once embossed in white.

 

 

In this one I first embossed the large flowers and then masked each one and stamped in the other smaller flowers. I then sponged the embossed image with Crushed Curry and highlighted it randomly with Tangerine Tango.

 

 

Don't you just love this Delicate Doilies stamp. The detail in it is quite amazing. Once embossed I sponged over and around the image with Wisteria Wonder and used a little Elegant Eggplant in the middle.

 

 

I was inspired by a card from http://debscraftshed.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/secret-garden.html and pretty much just changed the orientation of the card. I stamped the leaves first, used the embossing buddy once these were dry and then embossed the daisies. I then masked off the area I wanted to remain white and sponged each colour with the matching ink. Easy Peasy.

So... Emboss Resist technique is simple.

 

Summarising the technique.

1. Rub over the area to be embossed with an embossing buddy.

2. Stamp with Versamark ink and heat emboss your image. Allow image to cool.

3. Apply ink directly to the cardstock (over and around the embossed image) using a sponge or brayer.

4. Wipe the embossed image with a tissue to remove the excess ink.

 

I did a short video to demonstrate this technique

 

Happy stamping. Hope you are having fun.
