Let's Celebrate Birthdays! Inspiration Blog Hop April 2021
Welcome to the STAMPING INKspirations BLOG HOP for April 2021. This month we are focusing on celebrating birthdays! And for my project, I opted to focus on the guys. I am featuring the Whiskey Business stamp set and some fun Blend Coloring. Here’s a quick video demonstration to take you through the process.
This card layout is rather simple. You could certainly CASE it, and make a project of your very own with any number of other sets. I share the full tutorial with you down below in the post, so if you need the materials & measures they are easily found.
Now that you have visited with me, and I hope my project may have inspired you, it’s time to send you along to the next blog with Melissa Faust . Please leave me and the other paper crafters comments on our posts. We just love to know what you think of our ideas.

Instructions:
Stamp your Images and Color with the Blends
-
Stamp with Memento ink onto neutral cardstock.
-
Then add layers of colors with the Blend Markers.
-
Trim the images with your Paper Snips.
Emboss your Cardbase with your Embossing Folder
Create the textured stamped layer or use Patterned Paper 4 ¼ x 2.
-
I used Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake cardstock.
-
I stamped the wood plank image down the length of the cardstock.
-
I allowed for the ends to alternate position and overlapped for embellishment as well.
Stamp your Sentiments
-
I stamped both sentiments with Early Espresso ink for contrast to the cardstock layer.
Inside Layer Blend Colored Image
-
For this project I stamped the glass of whiskey inside the card as well.
-
Once again I used my Blends to color the images.
-
The ink will lighten as it dries, so experiment with the results when not coloring on white or vanilla cardstock.
