Quick Cards with Designer Series Paper part 2!

September 18, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

My favorite way to use 6″ x 6″ paper for making quick & easy cards!!! See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper is the paper of the day!

Of course, See a Silhouette is actually 12″ x 12″ – but you can easily change it to 6″ x 6″ by cutting it into quarters.

Cut it at …..

The extra strip is used for the inside of the cards like this.

Enjoy looking at each of these designs.

Before starting a project like this, lay out all of the Designer Series Papers along with coordinating colors of card stock. Start working with color combinations until you find what you like.

This See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper certainly has a lot colors in it which makes it so much fun to work with – plus the designs are so bright and fresh!

Do you like to mass produce cards for gifts and to have on hand – or are you a detailed stamper making a special one of a kind card for each occasion?

If you want to watch the entire process of how to make this simple card design for make quick cards, here is a short video!

10 Ways to Add Color to a Leaf Stamp!

September 14, 2019 By Karen 20 Comments

Ten card ideas today using just the leaf stamp from the Gather Together stamp set + Gathered Leaves Dies!!! How many ways can we add color? (Use the comment to vote for your favorite by Sept 21!!!)

Just stamp it – this card uses Early Espresso with the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. (plus a little twine from Nature’s Twine)

2. Add color with a blending pen! This card uses Blackberry Bliss ink and more twine from Nature’s Twine. (Notice that both of these cards use the Stitched Rectangles Dies)

3. How about stamping with the Delicata Metallic Ink? The photo doesn’t show it very well, but it makes a soft, pretty look. Of course, you could emboss it to make it really stand out.

4. After stamping in black, you can use sponge dauber to make a multi-colored leaf. Granny Apple Green, Crushed Curry, and Calypso Coral were used on this card.

5. Randomly stamping the leaf in different colors created this next card.

6. Make a watercolored card by changing the paper to the Watercolor Paper. Ink the stamp, then spritz with water before stamping. Hold the stamp on the paper for a few second to let the ink absorb into the paper.

7. Another way to watercolor is to stamp all of the leaves first on the watercolor paper, then spritz water over the images. Vary the look by using different amounts of water.

8. Paper piecing is another quick way of adding color to your leaf. Stamp first – or just use the dies alone like this: (using the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper)

9. How about just using plain card stock and turning into a dried up leaf. This reminds me of walking through crunchy autumn leaves! Spritz the leaf with water, then crumple it into a little ball. Unfold carefully and let it dry.

10. And last – create a watercolor look using ink refills and baby wipes.

Wondering how any of these are done? You can watch them all being made in the facebook replay below – jump to 4:39 to just catch that part.

So – these are just a few ways to add color to your autumn leaf cards. Vote on your favorite coloring technique by leaving a comment here – and someone is going to get a little gift on Sept 21!

Make Four Cute Holiday Cards with #Elfie

September 12, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

Check out #Elfie taking a break on the beach – with Colorful Seasons!

Wouldn’t this be a fun card to send to a busy mom over the holidays – just to let her know you are thinking about her? Maybe you could add a $5 Starbucks gift card and tell her to take a break for herself!

Here is another take on that idea – this time with the Swirly Frames stamp set.

Did you notice that the elf was cut out, leaving the candy post behind? Here is the full image – with a bit of doodling as a frame. However you doodle, this is a fun way to do it.

Taking another image out of the #Elfie stamp set and cutting out just the elf makes this fun card. Here the base the elf is “dancing” on is the word “Hooray” from the Broadway Bound stamp set.

Back Porch Stampers Group

These four cards were one of four lives during our Holiday Catalog Launch in the Back Porch Stampers group.

Those videos stay just in that group – never posted anywhere else. They are meant to be more casual – and I share how I come up with ideas, etc.

We have weekly challenges – where members post their work so we all learn from each other – and we celebrate with a drawing each week.

Come check us out (and request to join): https://www.facebook.com/groups/backporchstampers/

See you on the back porch!

One Stamp Set Three Ways/Playful Penguins

September 6, 2019 By Karen Leave a Comment

Playful Penguins is such a cute stamp set for winter birthday cards – or winter cards for any occasion. Paired here with the Mercury Acetate “iceberg” – this card is made for Tim since he wears a hat and a scarf in the house nine months of the year! (I think 64 degrees is perfect, don’t you?)
