Blog Hop with the Annual Catalog



Welcome everyone to today’s blog hop.  Hope everyone has been having a wonderful summer – or winter (if you are in the Southern Hemisphere). I know that in Chicago the summer started pretty late – but its been pretty nice here since “summer” started! I hope you have loved the blog hops so far – welcome if you have come from my friend Lori Mueller’s blog!, Continue to hop along for lots more inspiration from Team Stamp it! There are prizes too, so please go ahead and comment on all the hops for a chance to win!



Now, on to the project for today.  I have always loved seashells so the Seaside Notions stamp set was one of my first choices when the new catalog came out! Like you, summer is such a busy time for me – and I try to be wise with my stamping time.  Remember when I did those the beautiful watercolor backgrounds?  If not click here to find all the detailed information.  Like me if you are super busy and don’t have time to make your own backgrounds, you can also use the beautiful See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper – the “B” side has a beautiful watercolor look which will work with this technique very easily!



I laid out all the shell images close together on my Stamparatus in one corner. The original background was approximately 5 x 7. I inked up the stamps with Versamark and then used the Sparkling White Embossing powder from the See a Silhouette suite to emboss the images.  I then turned the paper 90 degrees to stamp the other corner – without having to move the stamps!! I then repeated the embossing with the 2nd set of stamped images. I love the way the sparkly embossing powder really adds wow to any image!

After I did the embossing, I also embossed the sentiment on the card base -Basic Grey in this case. Always use the embossing buddy before you stamp with the Versamark.  I know sometimes I forget, but it does help the image stay crisp and sharp.


I cut down the image to 4” x 4” mounted on Stampin’ dimensionals and then added a ¼” strip of Basic Grey to the top of the stamped image for a little extra interest. I love the Wink of Stella to add a little bit more glimmer to the images. I added a bunch of the Basic adhesive Backed Sequins for the finishing touch. Mount everything on a Night of Navy card base cut at 4 ¼” x 11” folded at 5 ½”.
  
Bienvenidos todos al blog hop de hoy.  Espero que todo el mundo ha estado teniendo un maravilloso verano o invierno (si estás en el hemisferio sur). Sé que en Chicago el verano comenzó bastante tarde, ¡pero ha sido bastante agradable aquí desde que comenzó el "verano"! Espero que te hayan encantado los saltos de blog hasta ahora - bienvenido si has venido del blog de mi amiga Lori Mueller!, ¡Continúa para inspirarte mucho más en Team Stamp! También hay premios, así que por favor, adelante y comentar todos los saltos para tener la oportunidad de ganar!



Ahora, en el proyecto de hoy.  Siempre me han gustado las conchas marinas, así que el conjunto de sellos Seaside Notions fue una de mis primeras opciones cuando salió el nuevo catálogo! Al igual que tú, el verano es un momento tan ocupado para mí, y trato de ser prudente con mi tiempo de estampación.  ¿Recuerdas cuando los hice con los hermosos fondos de acuarela?  Si no hace clic aquí para encontrar toda la información detallada.  Al igual que yo si usted está súper ocupado y no tiene tiempo para hacer sus propios fondos, también puede utilizar el hermoso See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper - el lado "B" tiene un hermoso aspecto de acuarela que funcionará con esta técnica muy fácilmente!

Puse todas las imágenes de concha juntas en mi Stamparatus en una esquina. El fondo original era de aproximadamente 5 x 7. Entendé los sellos con Versamark y luego utilicé el polvo Sparkling White Embossing de la suite See a Silhouette para grabar las imágenes.  Luego giré el papel 90 grados para estampar la otra esquina - sin tener que mover los sellos !! Luego repetí el grabado con el 2o conjunto de imágenes estampadas. Me encanta la forma en que el polvo de relieve brillante realmente añade wow a cualquier imagen!

Después de hacer el grabado, también redimité el sentimiento en la base de la tarjeta -Basic Grey en este caso. Utilice siempre el compañero de grabado antes de estampar con el Versamark.  Sé que a veces lo olvido, pero ayuda a que la imagen se mantenga nítida y nítida.



Recorté la imagen a 4" x 4" montado en las dimensiones de Stampin' y luego agregué una tira de 1/4" de Gris Básico a la parte superior de la imagen estampada para un poco de interés adicional y anadi el Wink of Stella para darle otro toque.  Agregué un montón de lentejuelas con respaldo adhesivo básico para el toque final. Montar todo en una base de cartas Night of Navy cortada a 4 1/4"x 11" plegado a 5 1/2".

Now Hop along to the rest of the team for your chance to win this month's prize!

Sweet Silhouette




I am in love with the new Pressed Petals DSP and the Silhouette Scenes stamp set. This sweet card can be used for Anniversary or Wedding or little note for your honey for doing the laundry for you! Always a good reason to give a card!

This card uses the new embossing folder from the Noble Peacock bundle called Beads & Baubles along with the two-tone ribbon in Old Olive and Pretty Peacock - so shimmery in real life! Just a few pearls add the final touch.
