Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″ , 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
scrap for snowflake die

Whenever I am stamping a larger format stamp image I turn it stamp side up and place the ink pad directly on the stamp image.
I think this gives you better coverage and control as you can see where you are inking!
I stamped the large snowflake image from the Snowy Delights stamp set off the layer above and below – this creates the illusion of expanse!
I stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #1 and Balmy Blue ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #2 and Lost Lagoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes over the Balmy Blue ink.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #4 and Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes and the empty white space beside the two partial snowflakes.
Using the cluster of smaller snowflakes stamp image in Blueberry Bushel ink I stamped in between the two partial large snowflakes to add depth and texture.
Taking the extra 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer I stamped the large snowflake image off the bottom of the page in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I stamped the inside sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and blended the bottom edge with a blending brush and Blueberry Bushel ink for added color and texture.

Stamp the outside sentiment to the 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ strip, add the small snowflake stamp to the left-hand edge and blend the edges with a blending brush.

Adhere this layer to the inside of the card base.
Add the large snowflake die to the upper partial snowflake image – matching the die with the image and adhere with Multipurpose Glue.
Turn the layer over to the backside and cut the die that is hanging over the edge off.
Adhere this layer to the card front.
Pop up the sentiment strip on Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the bottom third of the card front.
Add the new Frosted Iridescent Dots in the Blue color to the card front to finish off this lovely Wintery card in a soft coordinating style.

Try your hand at some masking today and go create some artwork of your very own – one mask- one stamp at a time!

extraordinary flora elements of text card

extraordinary flora elements of text card

by | Aug 22, 2025 | card samples, die cutting, embossing folders, my favorites, techniques

The Extraordinary Floral Washi tape makes a such a pretty card! The background for this card features the Elements of Text stamp set. This stamp set is one of my favorites that has just been listed on the Last Chance List! It’s on sale until it is sold out! It makes great backgrounds!

BASE: Berry Burst CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, scrap for the Spotlight on
Nature die
Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for the Spotlight on Nature die.

Stamp the Basic White layer with the Elements of Text stamp set with the Berry Burst ink all over the layer. Add the splatter image around the edges in Berry Burst ink. Then add some blending around the edges of the layer with the blending brush and the Berry Burst ink.
Emboss the Basic White layer in the Eyelet 3D embossing folder.

Adhere the layer to the Berry Burst card front.

Stamp the sentiment from The Right Words in Berry Burst ink in the center of the Basic White die from the Spotlight on Nature die set.
Stamp the splatter image around the edges.
Adhere the die to the Berry Burst Spotlight on Nature die.
Adhere the sentiment dies on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the center of the card front.
I took the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and unrolled it from the roll and adhered it to a half sheet of Unscored Basic White cardstock (5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″). Ensure that the washi tape is smooth without wrinkles or air pockets I secure the tape starting at one edge and lying the tape down slowly rubbing as I go with my hands or a bone folder to ensure a smooth surface.
Die cut with the Extraordinary Flora die – designed to cut in one pass loads of flowers from the washi tape or the coordinating stamp.
Mounting the tape on cardstock allows the die cuts to have a more rigid background allowing for easier attachment to the card.
Arrange the die cut floral and greenery around the sentiment dies to your liking and then secure with glue, tape and Stampin’ Dimensionals for some depth and dimension.
I added Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card in the Berry Burst hue to coordinate with the card and finish it off with a lot of sparkle!

I love creating backgrounds and this Last Chance stamp set called Elements of Text is a great way to achieve a cohesive background look that is both eye-catching and elegant.

Text stamps can create a subtle yet intricate background that can accent the base of your card without overpowering your main focal image!

If you like this look shop before this set is all gone! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

faux linen technique card

faux linen technique card

by | May 2, 2025 | card samples, die cutting, embossing folders, retiring products, stamps ink paper, techniques

The Faux Linen technique is a fun one.
If you have extra tissue paper this is all you need and a little glue!

Measurements:
BASE: Pecan Pie CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scraps for sentiment and dies
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Stamp the large starfish in Pecan Pie randomly on the Basic White layer. Stamp the smaller starfish in Basic Beige ink and the stones image in Crumb Cake CS.

Squeeze out some Multi-Purpose Glue on a Silicone Craft sheet and thin it out with a little water. Paint a thin layer on the surface.
Crush a piece of white tissue paper and smooth it out and lay it down over the glue covered surface. Smooth the tissue paper down to the surface which will produce crinkles and look like linen.
Secure the extra tissue paper around the edges on the back of the Basic White CS layer.
Pop up the layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the Pecan Pie card front.
Stamp the large and small sand dollar in Pecan Pie ink on Pecan Pie cardstock. Die cut in the hybrid folder which will emboss and die at the same time.
Stamp the sentiment on a scrap and fussy cut a banner edge. Pop up the sentiment piece and sand dollar with Stampin’ Dimensionals and place on the card front over the faux linen layer.
Tie a piece of Basic Beige ribbon around the left hand side of the Basic White layer under the smaller sand dollar.
Adhere Drusy Adhesive-Backed embellishments around the card front.

Love the subtlety of the Faux Linen background.

Try this fun technique – go grab some tissue paper and crinkle it and make some Linen!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

using blending brushes to create the background

using blending brushes to create the background

by | Jul 12, 2024 | card samples, die cutting, online exclusives, stamps ink paper, techniques

I try to show a wide variety of techniques and card ideas for beginners to advanced stampers and today’s card is one that is simple enough for the beginner and has so many possibilities for the advanced stamper!

Creating your own backgrounds on cards can be so much fun and they are never the same!

This card features Changing Leaves – one of the new Online Exclusive bundles and this one is amazing with a hybrid embossing folder and beautifully intricate leaves and sentiments!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap Basic White for the die cut leaves

Pick out a number of green inks – I am using Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive and Shaded Spruce.

Using Blending Brushes, pull the head of the Blending brush through the ink pad and in a circular motion run the blending brush down the left side of the card base creating a column of color. I used the inks in the order I listed them. This first column is Garden Green.

Next I inked a different Blending brush with Granny Apple Green ink and created the next column just to the right of the first column.
Continue adding color columns the entire way across the card base.
To make this card more advanced you could also take a flick speckles of color over the columns to add some depth and dimension – I chose to leave mine plain.
Die cut five leaf die images from the Changing Leaves die set and one sentiment piece.

Adhere the leaves over each color column.

Stamp the sentiment in Old Olive ink and use the blending brush to add color around the outside edge by holding the sentiment die and running the brush in an up and down motion over the edge.
Pop up the sentiment piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add over the die cut leaves.
I added iridescent Pearls to finish off my Changing Leaves card and I love how it turned out and how easy and fun it was to make!

Try this technique with any of the stamp pads you have and see what color combinations you can come up with!

Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – cajun craze, daffodil delight and pebble path

by | Aug 7, 2023 | card samples, color challenge, more color mondays, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s color challenge uses some fall color favorites in Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight with a beautiful new 2023-2025 In Color Neutral – Pebbled Path! I combined color blending and water lifting for a bold and beautiful Fall Rays of Light card!

Measurements:
Base: Cajun Craze 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Daffodil Delight layer: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
scraps of Basic Black for die cuts
Scrap of Daffodil Delight: 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
Scrap of Basic White for butterfly die cut

Using Blending Brushes on the Basic White layer burnish a little more than the top half with Daffodil Delight ink.
Burnish the bottom half with Cajun Craze ink and blend the colors together in the middle.
Using a Water painter, flick water droplets onto the inked surface to create a lifting effect on the blended background.
Stamp the top half of the Rays of Light background stamp with the Daffodil Delight ink pad. Stamp the bottom half with the Cajun Craze ink pad slightly overlapping the yellow area. Using a blending brush wipe off some of the Cajun Craze ink in the center area to create a more graduated color gradient.
Stamp the rays of light onto the blended background.
Adhere the Basic White inked layer to the Daffodil Delight layer and then to the Cajun Craze card base.
Die cut a few stems from the Meadows die set and arrange on the bottom right side of the card.
Die cut a butterfly from the Meadows dies and blend in Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze ink.
Adhere to the top left hand portion of the card.
Stamp Thinking of You sentiment on the Daffodil Delight scrap and adhere over the black dies near the bottom of the card.
Add In Color Dots to finish off the card!
Hope you enjoyed these techniques and color challenge and if you try this color combination please consider sharing your creation with us all on today’s Facebook post at http://www.Facebook.com/nataliegramley in the comment section!
Now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
