September Stamp Club: For All Things Bookmark

Isn't this little bookmark darling?!  When I saw this in Stampin' Success, the demo only bi-monthly magazine, I knew it had to be our project for stamp club!  The For All Things stamps have a "linen" look to them--instant texture and dimension with adding bulk.  

The leaf that dangles is die cut from Coaster Board, and then inked up with Rose Red and .  The Marina Mist base has been fussy cut with Paper Snips around the Very Vanilla cardstock that was die cut with Apothecary Accents

Rose Red, Crushed Curry, Marina Mist, Soft Suede Ink Pads

Marina Mist, Very Vanilla Cardstock

September Stamp Club: Markers and Clear Block Technique

Hi Stampers!

I saw markers applied directly to a clear block, and then using the block as the stamp at the Baltimore Regional back in the spring. Can you believe its September already?  I can't believe it took me this long to try out this fun technique!  For September's club project, we're trying this technique. Swipe Pool Party and Pear Pizazz markers on clear stamping block C. Mist with water. Press block onto Whisper White CS (3 x 2 3/4).  Allow ink to transfer before lifting block.  Let dry. Stamp with butterfly from Best of Butterflies and "just because" from A Dozen Thoughts with Island Indigo ink. Layer on Island Indigo CS (3 1/2 x 3). Emboss strip of Pear Pizazz CS with Woodgrain embossing folder (5 1/2 x 1 3/4). Add to Pool Party card base, cut to 4 1/4 x 11, folded in half.  Add butterfly to front of card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Stamp another smaller butterfly on the front of your card in Island Indigo. Happy Stamping!  Bye for now, Maria

September Stamp Club: Emboss Resist

The technique for September's stamp club project is called emboss resist.  Emboss the image with clear embossing powder. Then, apply ink by sponging or brayering ink onto the cardstock.  Lightly buff the embossed image with a tissue to remove any excess ink. 

Or, you could use Natural Composition DSP--it is already clear embossed.  How's that for a time saver?   First, die cut the DSP with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  Sponge with More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler ink working light to dark.  "Hello" comes from Lacy & Lovely.  Other supplies used on this card:  Decorative Label Punch, Woodgrain embossing folder, Early Espresso Cardstock and Ink, Crumb Cake Cardstock.  Happy Stamping!  Bye for now, Maria
