Hello everybody! That is Denine, and I’m so excited to be right here in the present day on the weblog stamping with you. One of many first stamp units from this December Every day launch that referred to as my title was the Vacation Bushes 6×8 Set. I like the three totally different stamps for the timber in addition to the itty-bitty ornaments and lights!
I had completely no plan in any respect once I began stamping, so I simply bought after it. I picked a complete bunch of various inexperienced inks from my stash and determined to only mess around. I usually use two various kinds of white paper for scrapbooking. One is a cardstock, and the opposite is a coverstock. The coverstock is considerably thicker, and I most frequently use it for the bases of my pages. I did a take a look at stamp on every of them, and I ended up going with the coverstock for this publish. I preferred the way it felt in addition to how the pictures stamped.
VIDEO OVERVIEW
I’ll start with a video of my whole course of, which I really feel has three components. Listed below are the occasions of every half in case you wish to simply view a sure section of my course of.
- Stamping – 0:00 – 11:29
- Embellishing – 11:30 – 18:23
- Making a web page – 11:25 – 22:22
As you noticed within the video, I mainly simply performed round with stamps + inks + elaborations. Some timber turned out higher than others, and I used to be completely okay with that. I used to be having enjoyable, and I did stamp an extra quantity of timber for that objective.
Listed below are a couple of of the timber that I stamped together with somewhat particulars about what inks and/or elaborations I used.
Within the video you noticed that I did stamp a tree with the lovable little lights, however I reduce it up and didn’t like the way it seemed. I can be re-stamping a kind of. It was so enjoyable + simple! I stamped the outlines of the lights first, and it was easy to line the insides up trying on the stamped define via the acrylic block. After all, if you happen to would reasonably not stamp the insides, you should utilize marker, coloured pencil, and even watercolors to paint the bulbs.
I like a number of the colour mixtures higher than others, and I like a number of the elaborations higher than others.
As regular, for me, my stamped photos turned out higher after stamping the primary impression. Right here’s a tip to get your stamped photos to look higher whenever you use stamps for the primary time. Use Versamark Ink in your new stamp. Simply ink it up and make your first impression on scrap paper. Then, use stamp cleaner on the stamp and dry it off. It actually works. Sadly, that is one thing that I typically overlook to do as a result of I’m simply excited to get going. It actually does make a distinction, although.
One other factor that I all the time appear to overlook to do is use my Anti-Static Pouch on my paper previous to stamping + warmth embossing. It’s all the time proper on my desk, however once more, I’m in a rush. I did bear in mind to make use of it this time (like a couple of times), and I can undoubtedly see the distinction between once I used it and didn’t use it.
So, now that I had a complete bunch of timber, what to do? I wished to make one thing that I used to be going so as to add to my album, so I made a decision to make my Purpose Why web page right here with you guys. Right here is the completed web page the place I added 5 of my timber throughout the web page. For the background paper, I modified the digital model of the 10×8 December Sample Paper from the Most important Package. I attempted the timber on a number of the bodily papers from the package, and I simply felt just like the daring colours took the viewers eyes away from the timber. The enjoyment of hybrid scrapbooking!
To brighten my stamped photos and my web page, I added a couple of issues from the Most important Package together with a pink picket star, a gold glitter star, and a die reduce phrase strip. Some individuals could frown upon utilizing the 2 totally different reds (the die reduce + the star) on the identical unfold, however I’m slowly changing into extra open + versatile relating to that stuff. All of us have our personal methods, proper? You do you…all the time! I additionally nonetheless have a bunch of the celebrities from final yr’s launch, so I ended up including two of these, as properly.
Under is how my web page appears whenever you swing the tree over to disclose my motive why. I created a customized form textual content field to have my phrases within the basic form of the tree. I’ve included it right here in case anybody is . I used Photoshop to create it, however it will probably completely be opened and used with Photoshop Parts.
I printed my journaling out on white cardstock, laid certainly one of my stamped timber on high of it, and outlined it with a pencil. Then, I fussy reduce it out. In order for you the tree with the journaling to be completely hidden, reduce within the pencil line. Here’s a shut up of my motive why.
You may also see from my photos + video that I reduce a number of the timber that I stamped into three components – high, center, and backside. I then pieced totally different components of various timber again collectively for somewhat little bit of an eclectic look. I experimented with stitching on my machine for that. It was enjoyable!
These timber are so easy + versatile.
- You possibly can add them to a web page just like how I did and have photographs beneath or photographs + journaling beneath.
- You possibly can add one within the heart of a web page with a easy die reduce or chipboard phrase beneath.
- You possibly can add them to the entrance of a pocket.
- You possibly can again every tree with white cardstock + add your journaling to the again of every tree + then put all of them into one pocket.
- You possibly can completely fill a whole web page with them (some can be hanging off the sting which might be so enjoyable).
- You possibly can fill a web page with the timber like I mentioned within the above bullet level + then additionally reduce photographs within the form of the timber so as to add amongst the timber.
- You possibly can stamp them within the colours of the Most important Package for some tremendous colourful enjoyable!
I’m positive there are lots of extra methods so as to add them into your album. These are those simply off the highest of my head.
