Change the Color of Ribbon to Match Your Project

Don’t have exactly the right color ribbon or even any ribbon that will match your project? Use Stampin’ Blends markers to change the color of your light colored ribbon. In this case I used the White Crinkle Seam Binding, but you could try it with other ribbon. Read on for details, including instructions for this Scary Cute card.

This is Why I Shouldn’t Stamp on the Card

October 23, 2022October 17, 2022 Tina Newberry

What’s wrong with this picture? Yup, you got it. I stamped my sentiment upside down and crooked! Ugh. This is exactly why I seldom stamp my sentiment on the card. Even if I stamp it right-side up, I am most likely going to stamp it crooked, so I usually stamp on scrap paper and either die cut or go with an easy rectangle. Most of the time, it takes two or three tries to get those sentiments right. I made a quick fix for this one though and created a cute little tag with a pop of color behind it and now you wouldn’t even know I made the mistake… except now you’re looking. LOL.

Measurements

Full list of supplies needed, listed below. A die cutting machine is needed for this card.

Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Attach the 4″ h x 5 1/4″ w DSP to the Card Base with Stampin’ Seal.
Lift some color off the Gorgeous Grape ink pad with an acrylic block. Then use a Blending Brush to pick up some ink from the blog and in a circular motion, apply some color to the bottom half of the 3 1/4″ h x 4 3/4″ w Basic White Cardstock.
In the lower right corner stamp the three trick or treaters in Tuxedo Black ink.
On scrap white cardstock, stamp the Sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink.
Die cut:
1. The basic white sentiment frame.
2. The spooky frame with the DSP.
3. The bats and haunted house in Basic Black.
Arrange the house, frame, and sentiment on the Card Base.
First attach the spooky frame with Stampin Dimensionals. Then add some Stampin’ Seal to the back of the house and attach in inside the spooky frame.
Next use Stampin’ Seal to attach the Parakeet Party strip to the back of the Sentiment Tag with Stampin’ Seal and attach both layers to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use Multipurpose glue to add some bats.
Sprinkle on the black Classic Matte Dots.
Stamp and decorate the inside and attach with Stampin’ Seal.

Parts & PIeces: Botanical Layers

October 18, 2022September 28, 2022 Tina Newberry

Sometimes it’s hard to say how you feel—what’s difficult to say face-to-face can sometimes be more easily written. Who knows how many profound, important conversations started with a beautiful card?

Today we have three card ideas for you—and because they all use the same color palette, elements, and the must-have Botanical Layers Stamp Set, you can easily imagine adding a delightful twist to make them your own. (Seeing someone else get creative can sometimes be freeing!)

For instance, notice how our concept artist showed off the versatility of our fabulous Baker’s Twine. For these cards we showed its range—tied it in a bow, looped it behind a stamped layer, and made a clever little braid for some old-fashioned charm.

The Thinking of You card features curled banner-cut ends and layers popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Truly, you could spend hours mixing and matching elements to create a splendid card that someone will treasure. But as we all know—the thing your recipient will love most will be the message you write inside!

White Letters Pop on a Dark Tag

October 17, 2022October 12, 2022 Tina Newberry

Create a tag that pops with white text on any dark cardstock. I’ll show you how.

Measurements

Full list of supplies needed, listed below. A die cutting machine is needed for this card.
Balmy Blue Cardstock 5 1/2″ h x 8 1/2″ w folded to 5 1/2″ h x 4 1/4″ w

Basic White Thick Cardstock: scraps for apple, leaves and flowers

Parakeet Party Cardstock: scrap for flower centers

Basic White Cardstock:

5 1/4″ h x 4″ w
4 3/4″ h x 3 1/4″ w

Basic Black Cardstock: scrap for sentiment tag

Let’s Create

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Run the Card Base through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine with the scalloped die from the Apple Dies to create the scalloped edge. Attach the small scalloped piece to the inside edge of the Card Base.
Run the 4 1/2″ h x 3″ w Basic White Cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Rectangle and then again with the Timeworn Typ Embossing Folder. Attach to Card Base with Stampin’ Seal.
On the Basic White Thick Cardstock, stamp the apple and leaves in Sahara Sand ink. Then color with Stampin’ Blends:
1. Apple: Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and a bit of Cherry Cobbler
2. Apple Stem: Soft Suede
3. Leaves: Old Olive
Die cut the apple, leaves, the branch, two large flowers and one small flower from Basic White Thick and three flower centers from Parakeet Party Cardstock scraps.
Use Stampin’ Blends to add some color to the:
1. Flower Tips- Flirty Flamingo
2. Branch- Crumb Cake
3. Flower Centers- Black
To create the tag:
1. Remove static from the Basic Black Cardstock by rubbing the surface with an Embossing Buddy
2. Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink
3. Sprinkle with White Embossing Powder
4. In slow deliberate circles, carefully heat the black cardstock with a Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. Be careful not to burn your fingers, overheat your work surface or scorch your sentiment. You will see the embossing powder melt as it turns from a chalky dull color to a bright white.
5. Run the sentiment through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the tag from the Apple Dies.
Arrange the apple, flowers, branch, leaves and sentiment tag on the card front.
1. Use Fine Tip Glue to attach the Parakeet Party flower centers to the flowers.
2. Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the apple, branch and leaves.
3. Use Mini Glue Dots to attach the flowers.
4. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the Sentiment Tag.
Tie a bow with Linen Thread and attach with a Mini Glue Dot.
Sprinkle on the Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed gems.
Stamp and decorate the 5 1/4″ h x 4″ w Basic White Cardstock for the inside and attach with Stampin’ Seal.
Decorate your envelope.
So sweet! Now send it to someone special.
