Kissing Technique with Art Gallery

& Stacked Stone Stamp Sets

Hello my stamping friends.

Welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop today.  We are showcasing the Kissing Technique in our projects today, so be sure to hop along to the next crafters to see how we all used the technique, but maybe in some very unique ways.

Basically the Kissing Technique when it comes to stamps, is pressing two inked images together before you stamp the image down.  You might think of it as two-step stamping, but instead of stamping the first image and then the second image, you are transferring the second image to the first image and then stamping.  I typically think of this with large background stamps, where you might want the texture of the stamp on your image, but not everywhere.  So it’s like selectively editing the image for your project.

Okay, so as you can see from my project photo above, I used my Art Gallery stamp set for my image and the Stacked Stone background stamp for my textured image.  I paired my Daffodil Delight ink with Pumpkin Pie ink, and then showcased the whole project on a Pumpkin Pie card base.

Here are some of the photos as I worked through my project.

So, you can see how the image of the flower has the added texture of the Stacked Stone stamp, but the area around the flowers has remained clean of any images.

I hope you enjoyed this project today.  My supplies are listed below if you need them.  Now it’s time to send you along to the next blog hop project, just use these links below to see them all.  Remember, we love getting comments on our shared projects, so take a quick minute and let us know if we inspired you today.

 

Happy Stampin,

Hues of Happiness | FMS 575

Hello my stamping friends.

Today I am playing with a sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge Blog.  This is sketch 575 and you can link back to their blog with this link or click on the sketch here.

So we are approaching the end of the annual catalog in just a couple of months, and I have this Hues of Happiness DSP package that I have not used enough of yet.  So I decided to use it as my feature item in today's project.

Here are the parts and pieces I started with. The measurements are listed on the photo for reference.

When I first took a look at this sketch I thought about an inner card of DSP enclosed in an outer card of cardstock, so that is where I took this project.  The inner card is the larger section of DSP, and with this design I can showcase both beautiful sides.

For the front elements I simply die-cut the largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Die set out of the DSP in the package to color coordinate with the Gorgeous Grape cardstock color.   I dry embossed the slim panel of the cardstock with the Timeworn Embossing Folder to give it just a little bit of texture in the background.  And paired the easy HELLO sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set for my greeting. To add a little bit of shimmer, I used the Glossy Dots Assortments.

I had a lot of fun crafting this project and sharing this sketch. If you enjoyed it, please leave me a comment here on the blog.

Happy Stampin,

Susan

Country Floral | Book Binding Fold

Hello my stamping friends.

It’s time for our second Fun Fold project for the month of March.  This one is dubbed the Book Binding Fold!  It is a really simple fun fold with just a second score line that runs parallel to the mid score line.  But the thing I love most about this fold is the two open spaces on the front for showcasing two selections of DSP.

Of course this is fantastic for those of us who love our DSP!  Especially since they color coordinate so well.  But you could also stamp two panels or mix and match them.  Remember, “It’s your card, make it your way!”  

The other wonderful thing I like is that the open panel then be embellished with labels or die-cut images.  So explore and experiment with different variations of embellishments and have some fun.

Here is the Show & Tell Video to see the whole project from start to finish. I share the template, and then take you through the preparations for the card project. Enjoy the video.

Country Floral | Accordion with Pop Out Fold

Hello my stamping friends.

Welcome to March, and today I am sharing my first Fun Fun Template for the March In The Mail Class!  This has become one of my favorites over the last year or so.  I love the accordion section that allows for the 4 panels of DSP for display.  Whether you match them or use different selections for each panel.  And then the pop out center for extra embellishments and sentiments, I think it is a win-win type of card template.

Here is the Show & Tell Video to see the whole project from start to finish. I share the template, and then take you through the preparations for the card project.  You may notice that my photo below has an added ribbon on the first section of the accordion fold.  I forgot to add it during the video.  Oops! I hope you enjoy the video.

Playing In The Rain | Spring 2023 Favorite

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends.

Today we have been asked to create with a favorite product from the Spring Mini Catalog.  And even though it wasn’t the first item in the catalog that drew my attention but Playing In The Rain Bundle and Suite has become my favorite!

 

Playing In The Rain Suite

All Images © Stampin’ Up! ®

This project follows a fun fold template I am showcasing next month in my Fun Fold Templates class.  I nicknamed it the Standing Card!  Well, because it stands on its own. I really love the little pop-out center and how easy it is to create!

For the side panels I used the bright kite design paper from the Design A Daydream DSP which is a host item in the annual catalog.  The center section is a dry embossed panel with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.  Then It was time to dress it up with a center focal image.

So for my Focal Image, I first die-cut the largest circle from Basic White with the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I stamped the greeting, then the clouds, and finally the daisies.  Then it all got colored with my BLEND markers.  See how I stamped and colored with active edges.

For the turtle, I stamped him with Memento and colored with my BLENDS.  Then die-cut him with the coordinating dies for the Playing In The Rain bundle.  

Okay, ready to see what the rest of the Blog Hop Group created.  Follow the NEXT LINK here to see more wonderful creations.  Remember to leave us comments.  We love getting them, and that you enjoyed our Blog Hop today.
