Stretch Your Stamp Class Last Takeaway

Hi All!

Sharing another card I made with my learning from SYS Online Card Class. I simply adored the card made by Yana Smakula, from guest faculty using paper smooches stamps and masking.

Here it is,

I did some masking as taught by Yana. Loved the colors on the Kraft paper. I so wanted to try embossed die cutting which is trending now a days. After all the stamping, I cut "Hello" sentiment using cutting dies. After that I cut 5-7 "hello" die cut using black cardstock, stacked and glues all the die cuts together keeping the stamped die cut at the top. This will give you a sturdy chipboard shaped "Hello" die cut.

See, how thick it is.. I deliberately used black cardstock so that the diecut pops out a little.

I hope you guys liked it.

Stretch Your Stamps - Word Search Technique

Hi All!

Today I am sharing another card I made after learning new techniques called "Word Search" at Stretch your stamps. This is a fantastic way to use your alphabet stamps. Have a look.

 Firstly, stamp your main sentiment and then align random alpha stamps on your acrylic block in a row. and then stamp it around the main sentiment. Stamp press or stamping block with gird lines comes very handy to align the stamps correctly with the main sentiment.

I gave another twist to the technique. Since the sentiment starts with 'you', I stamped the alphabet 'U' separately with red colored ink. 

Easy peasy! I love this Milo ABC stamp set from Lawn Fawn. Font is classy and neat. Another gr8 thing with this stamp set is that it usually has 2-4 stamp of each character so that you don't run out of alphas while stamping your sentiment. 

Challenges entered :
1. Kraft Zone - CAS - (ends 30th Aug)
2. simonsaysstampblog - Anything Goes (Monday challenge)

I hope you guys will like it. Please leave some feedback.. :)

Stretch your stamps - Day 1 - Faux Watercoloring with Reverse Stamps

Hello Peeps!

How are you doing today? So I have joined my first ever Online card class which is Stretch your stamps. I really liked the concept and finally bought a seat. Seriously, all the girls at OCC really know their job. Each day is filled with lots of techniques and tips.

So on the first day, one of the technique they taught is 'Faux Watercoloring with Reverse Backgroud Stamps'. A reverse background stamp is the one which has lot of stamping area.

Here is the card I made for me. And I really loved the complete outcome. Have a look.

I used the leftovers from glittered 'hello' diecut and glued it to the body of butterfly to highlight these cuties and to spread a little gold to the upper part of the card for an even look.

I am loving the glitter paper which I was hoarding for a long long time and finally put it to use. Have a closer look.

Supply list :
1. Cardstock : Neenah Solar white 110 lbs
2. Stamps : Justrite Cling Background - Rose Garden
3. Dies : Avery Elle Simply Said Hello
4. Glitter Paper and Butterflies are from Itsy Bitsy India
