Stampfest at Lynette's January 31, 2024

Time flies...can't believe it's been almost 7 weeks since our Stampfest on Jan. 31! Finally have these cards up on the blog. Sorry for the delay! 

Lynette wanted to try Melanie Muenchinger's Direct to Paper Technique: Embroidered Denim Flowers. It was on YouTube January 26, 2020.

Used Gina K's Powder Blue mini inkpad to swipe the paper directly with ink for the background. Then used Gina K's Water Droplet stencil and a blending brush with the same Powder Blue ink.

Flowers and leaves are from a Stampin Up! clear set called What I love. They are stamped in Gina K's Blue Denim ink.

Lynette also wanted to make a sprig card like my Christmas thank you cards. I found inspiration for those here: Jackie Bolhuis' cards which she posted on her blog and YouTube.

Used the 3 different sprigs and the sentiment from Gina K's Perfect Poinsettia set. The pinecone is from Stampin' Up!'s Fantastic Foliage set. I forget which stamp set had the cute little group of 3 berries...

Used Gina K's You Have My Heart set for the guitar. I think the musical notes and sentiment are from Lynette's stash. Not sure which brown and blue inks were used.

I wanted to made cards based on Natasha Foote's Creating Your Own Stamps From Fun Foam, with Magnificient Results Youtube #977

I used Stampin Up's Little Shapes set, from 2000 instead of creating my own blocks with fun foam, though it would be fun to try!

Gina K inks: powder blue, dusty rose and peach bellini 

The flowers are from Lynette's stash: Time Well Spent by Stampin Up!

Ink Colors: Gina K's Key Lime, Sweet Corn and kept the Powder Blue.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Peace and all good.

Direct to Paper, Swiping then Stamping

Thank you, Melanie Muenchinger for sharing your very cool technique to make this fun and easy card! Check out Melanie's YouTube from January 26, 2020 called, "Direct to Paper Technique: Embroidered Denim Flowers". This was a quick and easy and very fun card to make!

I used Gina K Powder Blue ink to swipe the layer. Then used Gina K's Water Droplets stencil with the Powder Blue ink, just on the left side of the layer.  The flowers and leaves stamps are from Stampin Up's clear stamp set called, What I Love. The sentiment is from Altenew's Wildflower Garden stamp set. I stamped the flowers and the sentiment in Gina K's Blue Denim. Used an old Spellbinders Nestabilities Lables Four die.

I would like to try this technique in other colors. It's so quick and easy and I love the look that it creates.

Thanks you for visiting!

Peace and all good!
