Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment
It’s been a couple of days since my last post, but hopefully this card will make up for it.  Yet again another birthday!
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Seaside, Great Friend – “For You”
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue
Cardstock – Whisper White, Bashful Blue
Punches – 1 3/8″, 1 1/4″
Accessories – Adhesive Glue, Mat Pack, Chalks
Non-SU – Cuttlebug

I’ve used the cuttlebug to emboss the Whisper White so that it looks a little like small waves.  
Using Chocolate Chip stamp pad, I then chalked the shell using shades of different blue.  Pefore adhereing to the Chocolate Chip, I then pieced 3 corners using my Paper Piecer & Matt Pack.  Great little Tool!

I’ve been making small gifts lately, but this is one I found in amongst my photos which I hadn’t previously posted.
I’ve combined a couple of little booklets/holders together to come up with this all-in-one holder.
I’ve kept it very simple & plain on the outside as I didn’t want items to be caught once it was in the hadbags.

Tutorial…

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

I have finally managed to do tutorial for the “Rock ‘n’ Roll” method I used on the butterfly below.

Using 2 ink colours, this technique adds extra dimension to your solid stamped images
 Instructions for Rock ‘n’ Roll

Supplies Required –

? Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Punpkin Pie
? DSP – Non-SU
? Ink – Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip
? Stamp Set – Great Friend
? Punches – 1 3/8” Circle, 1 ¼” Circle
? Accessories – Dazzling Diamonds, 2-Way Glue, Rhinestones – Non-SU, Acetate, Dimensionals


Instructions –
1. Using the Bashful Blue ink pad (lighter colour), ink your image
2. Using your same image, ink the edges with the Chocolate Chip (darker colour) by rolling the edges of the stamp onto the ink pad
3. If done properly, the darker coloured ink should appear around the outer edges of the stamp, while the lighter colour ink will still be showing on the inside
4. Stamp your image onto your cardstock
5. If required, repeat above steps
6. Using scissors, cut around stamped image
7. Complete your project


TIP –
1. Prior to stamping the image onto my card, I will sometimes blow onto the stamp so as to moisten the ink a little. This ensures that this ink is still moist
2. Practice on a scrap piece of cardstock or paper until such time as you are happy with your result

Until next time when I will post instructions for the Note Book!
