See How to Stamp in an Embossed Surface with StazOn

To create this cool Rebel Canvas I used the new MBoss Hologram embossing powder with a fun, classic technique to create a stamped impression in the embossing powder. The new Hologram embossing powder is soooo gorgeous and fun to use. I love that the new MBoss packaging allows for precision application and easy cleanup!

Learn How To Craft A Beautiful Card With Feathers

Learn How To Craft A Beautiful Card With Feathers

I hope you will soon get the chance to try the new StazOn Pigment inks. They are amazing! Like the standard StazOn inks, StazOn Pigment inks work well on various surfaces, they dry quickly and are super easy to use. Beautiful and bright colors are opaque and ‘juicier’ than the standard StazOns, giving you a crisp image every time.

I was curious to test the new inks on a bit glossy, non-paper surface, but instead of going for an acetate sheet or a glass jar I remembered a pack of feathers I had purchased several years back. What if I decorated the feathers with stamped patterns to give them a fun and interesting look?

Skill: Beginner
Time: 1 hour

Directions


Step 1

Gently bend the feathers and separate the barbs by pulling them towards the quill until you have reached the look you want.


Step 2

Place the feather on a folded paper towel. This soft surface will ease the stamping over the hard shaft in the middle of the feather. Stamp patterns on the feather, using pattern stamps and ink colors of your choice.


Step 3

Add a hint of white with a gel pen. Let dry. StazOn Pigment ink will dry very quickly, but the gel pen color may need a few minutes for drying.


Step 4

Cut a diamond shape from black cardstock. Cutting lines drawn on the back of the cardstock will help in cutting a symmetrical shape.


Step 5

Tape the black diamond shape on a piece of grey/monotonous patterned paper. Glue the feathers on top. Using Tear It double sided tape mat the card front on a piece of matching color cardstock and adhere on a folded card base.


Step 6

Stamp the sentiment text “Congrats” on a paper strip and glue on the card. I used another stamped feather on a different card layout, and even if that design is even simpler, I think the card looks quite nice!

Make A Fun Flamingo Card for Any Occasion

Make A Fun Flamingo Card for Any Occasion

I love using odd or found objects to create texture and patterns on cards or scrapbook pages. It is a great opportunity to see something in your home in a new light–as a potential texture! Today, I am creating a beautiful background effect using a cake molding matt (usually used for food) to stamp onto this background. The background is a great compliment to this super fun flamingo stamp from Carabelle Studio. I really like how this card came together! Keep scrolling to find out how I did it.

Skill: Beginner
Time: 30 minutes

Directions


Step 1

Use VersaFine Clair Glamorous and ink the cake matt on the corner. Ink in an uneven manner around the edge only.


Step 2

Cut a piece of smooth white cardstock the size of your card front. Place the cardstock face down on the matt and apply some pressure.


Step 3

Carefully lift the cardstock. Ink the matt again and rotate the cardstock piece and stamp repeatedly around the left and bottom edge. Be sure to thoroughly wash the found object if possible. Since this is a food based object, I will need to clean all the ink off before using it again with food.


Step 4

Use a jumbo dauber and apply VersaFine Clair Charming Pink. Blend the ink around the outside edge only. Use VersaMagic Pink Petunia and blend towards the inside edge of the cardstock piece.

Stamp a Flamingo image in the open area of your card. Carabelle Studio Feet in the Water stamp
Step 5

Stamp a flamingo image in the open area of your card. Use watercolor paint to color to the neck and body of the Flamingo. Add a layer of dimensional glaze and leave to dry. Add finishing touches like a brad, “Just For You” sentiment, and diamanté. And mount the card panel to a card base.

Enjoy!
