Definitley Dahlia - Background Stamping 2

I'm leaving for Boise today so this has been scheduled ahead of time.

So Saffron & Mint Macaron are a lovely colour combination. This card will be for a class in July, so I won't be giving a lot of detail, but you can view the card and sign up for the class!


A closer look...


...and the inside.


Thank you for stopping in today for a look. Check in tomorrow for the class announcement, cost choices, and registration and Payment deadline.

Happy Stamping!







While I am away it will be harder to take care or questions or concerns, but I will do my best to help you upon my return. If you need to order anything, please use my online store at your convenience. If you have an account already set up there you will be familiar on how to go about it. If it is your first time you can create an account (top left of the site) or just order from the list that links to catagories, or just enter the codes from the catalogue in the space provided (search the store). If you do the latter, please be sure to mark me as your demonstrator, and to allow me to contact you. (See details as to why this helps us both here). Thank you so much.

Definitely Dahlia - Wisteria Wonder

This post, and those over the next week, are scheduled posts as I will be leaving Wednesday for my youngest daughter's wedding in Boise, ID. She is a talented and caring person. She is a wonderful artist, generous in many ways, a hard worker, and  cares about others. She has been a model, loves to mountain climb (which she started to do to overcome her fear of heights), loves horseback riding, and works as a welder while also being in charge of the safety where she works. I get to see her soon and I'm excited.

A while back I posted some cards made using the "Definitely Dahlia" stamp. I created several cards as a set using the same technique with different colours. (Click here to see the post), I also create one or two other cards that will be seen later.

Today I am showing you another card created with this same stamp, to be joined up with some past Dahlia creations that will be part of a 'Dahlia' class this summer.


As you can see I combined Wisteria Wonder with a bit of Early Espresso. Using a portion of the Dahlia stamp, and off stamping first, I created a bit of a background stamp on the Wisteria Wonder. In class I will show you how to do this with such a large stamp.


You can see that the only thing popped up is the smaller white on Espresso piece making this an easy card to create, assemble, and mail in an envelope.


Inside corners are off stamped first, giving the corners a soft faded look that will be easier to write over is needed.


Using a large stamp like this doesn't limit use for back ground purposes, or for the feature of the card.

See you tomorrow with another Dahlia card where the stamp is used in the background.

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Blossoms - Long Card


Birthday Blooms is such a lovely set and coordinates with the Pansy Punch for the large blossom of this set. I combined Tip Top Taupe, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla for this card and made it a long card (9 1/4" x 4") that fits in a business #10 envelope.


After 2nd stamping the bunches of small blooms in Tip Top Taupe, I used sponges to blend Tip Top Taupe around the edges and then Soft Sky.

In the next photo you can see the layering with dimensionals.


The larger blossom and leaves were coloured with Aqua Painters. The blossoms have the coordinating punch, but the leaves I hand cut out.

For the inside, with the length of this card, I decided to stamp the small bunches of blossoms on either side to visually shorten the length.


I love that little additional stamp "a day all about you".

This card will be one for a class held at the Scrapbook Parade Crop the morning of Saturday, June 25th. So mark it on your calendars, and there will more information to come in the future about this class on this blog, my facebook page, and my Stampin' Up website Events page.

Thank you for your comments, and for stopping by to have a look.
