SPOTLIGHT TECHNIQUE WITH THE FLOWERING FOILS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!

Have you tried the Spotlight Technique?  I haven’t done it for a while.  I thought I would try this with the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The Spotlight Technique is great when using uncoloured images on Designer Series Paper or a large background stamp that is stamped on your card mat.  The “spotlight” is a cut shape in the piece, in this case the circle, and colouring just the image in that small shaped. This spotlight “”highlights the pattern.

To create this card with the Spotlight Technique:

Cut a piece of the Designer Series Paper to 9.7cm x 14cm (4″x 5 1/4″).  Using the Layering Circles Dies cut a circle in the paper in the place that would work the best for colouring.

Colour this with the Stampin’ Blends.

Layer this piece on to a circle in co-ordinating card. Put this aside while you assemble the card.

Assemble the card by adhering the piece of Designer Series Paper to a co-ordinating card mat 10.1cm x 14.4cm (4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″) and then adhere this to a Whisper White Card mat.

Now adhere the Circle piece on to the assembled card raising it up off the card with Dimensionals.

Add a sentiment.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Little Ladybug stamp set with White Embossing Powder and diecut that with the small Stitched Nested Labels die.  Before adhering it to the card loop some Silver Thread around.

This Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is available for Sale-A-Bration BUT ONLY FOR ONE MORE DAY.  It’s available for qualifying orders over $90 AUD.  Check the details below to place your order and don’t forget the Host Code.  Or you can contact me directly.

Don’t miss out on it,

TAGS IN BLOOM THANKS!

I have been making some simple Customer Thank You cards with the Tags In Bloom stamp set and some scraps of pretty patterned paper.  I made a few of each type.  It’s a great way to use those little pieces up.

On these cards above I used the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-Bration.  for the one on the left and for the larger card below.  The card on the right above was using the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

With the Tags In Bloom set you have the “solid” style of stamps that you can use to infill the lined flower images.  You can colour them with your Stampin’ Blends too if you would rather.  I love that with this set that the sentiment section can be punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch.  There is also the Label Me Fancy Punch that would punch the other sentiments out.  These cards are 10cm x 10cm (4″x4″) in size.

On the cards I made like the one above they were the standard card size.  I had some white card cut with the rectangle from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies.  The sentiment piece from the Tags in Bloom was stamped on the white card and again stamped on scrap white and punched out.

Simple and quick cards.  That’s what you need in a hurry.

I hope you are getting lots of creating done in these times.

Keep safe and well.

RAZZLEBERRY FLOWERING FOILS!

Another Flowering Foils card for you today.  This time I have coloured one of the flowers on the flower print paper of the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I used the Rich Razzleberry and the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I love how you get the resist effect with the embossing on the flowers.  The paper is so easy to colour.

To finish the card I used a piece of the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper adhered on to a white card mat and then on to the Rich Razzleberry card base.

The sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set and then cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  On the Rich Razzleberry diecut piece I embossed that with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture.

On the back of the sentiment pieces loop some Silver Thread on to the back and to finish a Rhinestone was coloured with the Rich Razzleberry Dark Stampin’ Blends to co-ordinate.

Both the Lily Impressions paper and the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper are available as Sale-A-Bration choices but there is only 2 weeks left.  Grab either of these (or any of the other choices) when you shop in my store now -> HERE. 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Jenny

 

FLOWERING FOILS FLOWERS!

I have been sharing some projects with the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Here is another one for you.  This one uses 2 of the prints in the pack.

The flowers were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. The flowers on the paper are embossed in Rose Gold and in Silver so the ink resists the outline.   I fussy cut the flowers out to add them to the card.  I used the lined print for the mat on the card.

The sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set.  It is heat embossed in white Embossing Powder. The black card looks striking against the paper.

Notice the ends of the black strip? To create these I punched them with the Tailored Tag Punch.  Feed the end of the strip in to the punch from the back where the window is.  This way you can see that it is straight before you punch it out.  I found that the angles were quite long so I trimmed them slightly.  You can leave them long if you like that.  I added some Adhesive Pearls to finish it.

Hope you like it.

The Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper is available as a Free Sale-A-Bration choice with your order over $90.  Be sure the grab some soon before it goes. You can order in my store now.  Head to the link shown just below.

Have a great week ahead.
