Artisically Asian in Wild Wasabi, Dapper Denim & Gold


Today's Artistically Asian card is in Dapper Denim, Wild Wasabi & Gold. This is another colour combination I have often seen in Asian art, clothing, & home decor. I would like to try this card again to see what it would loo like if I watercolour stamped the flowers. They look like a type of orchid, but I don't know my flowers that well. Maybe a future card.


Here is a closeup of the image I created using sponges in ink pads.


And a side view so that you can see I did not use any dimensionals for this card.


For the inside, I usually stamp on the right, but this time decided that since the flowers are all bending to the right, they would mostly get cut off, so that meant stamping them on the left so that you could see more of the flowers. I guess I could have done Mirror stamping... Oh well.


I will be posting this class soon, as well as other cards I had decided not to use for this class. This is a very lovely stamp set to use and can lend itself well for masculine cards as well.

Happy stamping and creating!

Artistically Asian in Black, Sweet Sugarplum & Wisteria Wonder

I have paired Sweet Sugarplum with Smoky Slate, and Marina Mist, and today I am pairing it with black using the Artistically Asian stamp set.  Creating a misty background with sponges and Sweet Sugarplum, Wisteria Wonder, and a touch of So Saffron, gives the scene an Asian feel.


I love how the Wisteria Wonder tips to the Sweet Sugarplum Mums turned out.


From the side view below, you can see how the layers were attached.


And for the inside, more Asian calligraphy and another Mum.


Looking forward to sharing more cards made with this lovely stamp set over the next couple of days. See you tomorrow!

Happy Stamping!

Artistically Asian Card & Gift Box - Real Red, Black & Gold


The Asian bold red & black with gold combo is traditional and well loved by many around the world. Think of all the lovely traditional clothing, the black lacquered home decor items, and so on. That is the inspiration for today's all occasion gift giving set of a box and card.

I made two black tassels using embroidery floss; one for the card and one for the box.


This six sided box is created using the Gift Bag Punch Board.


The collage below, shows the box from different angles. When filled with gold or red tissue with the gift, the hole at the top will not matter. The bottom is reinforced.


Now, on to the card. The black lacquered home decor I mentioned earlier, is the inspiration for heat embossing in the clear the bamboo stamp in this set as the background. The black tassel is attached to the back of that and attached to the card base.

I love how the circle, reminiscent of Asian coinage or medallions, turned out. 



Head on frontal look...



Side view for layering...


...and the inside view.



I had a lot of fun making this set, and hope that you are inspired to create with an Asian style.


Happy Stamping!
