Wedding Card….

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment
Hi Stampers,

As I’ve just completed an Invitation Package & as part of my “Thank You” to my Customers, I design a Congratulations card.  I usually make the cards in the colours of their invitations and very similar to their designs, etc. 
I knew I wanted to use Stampin’ Up!’s “Always” Stamp Set, and am very happy with the outcome.
View # 1 –
Close Up –
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Always
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Versamark
Card Stock – Chocolate Chip
Punches – 1 1/4″ Circle
Accessories – Anywhere Glue, Heat Gun, Embossing Powder – Clear, 
Taffetta Ribbon – Very Vanilla, SU Dimensionals
Non-SU – Cardstock – Pearl

To emboss this card –
1.    Rub Stampin’ Buddy over cardstock
2.    Stamp image with Versamark, then stamp image using Chocolate Chip
3.    Stamp image onto cardstock
4.    Using heat gun, heat image until colour changes
5.    Adhere to Card
6.    Embellish Card

Tip – There is no need to purchase a heap of embossing powders in all colours, Stampin’ Up’s Versamark & their great embossing powders of Gold, Silver, Black, White & Clear is all you will ever require! 
The results show & speak for themselves & are out of this world!

Why not have a go!

Challenge – TSSC101

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
Hello Stampers,
I have finally manged to get home – for a couple of hours – chasing up stuff, etc & then on my way again!
I did this challenge late last night when it come through.  Not exacly what I had planed but still I am happy with it – maybe????
Card Sample
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Always
Cardstock – Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red
DSP – Walk in the Park – Retired
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Going Gray
Punches – 1 3/8″ Circle, 1 1/4″ Circle, 1/2″ Circle
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals, Pretties Kit

All in all this turned out to be a very easy 5 minute card, ie once I knew what colours I was going to use.  I have just realised that the DSP is not current, although it can always be replaced with one of the lovely current Designer Papers. 

To lift the card a little, I added the small gray flower inside the “Always”.
  It looked a little dull prior to that & I didn’t want to used Dazzling Diamonds.  I seem to be overloading on that stuff at the moment!

I have tried to vere away from the traditional colours of Valentine – to a certain extent I have! 
Until next time, Happy Stampin’
Vicky
