Stampin' Blends Club Part 2

Thursday 7th March Class 

Stampin' Blends 

 This was our second class of Blends Club and we explored light sources and giving objects shape through shading.

For the first card we used the Varied Vases Stamp Set, colouring the vases with the Light and Dark Old Olive. The flowers were coloured in with Highland Heather Light and Dark, and Pool Party.

  

It's important to use Memento Ink for stamped images when using the Blends.  We saturated each of the images with the lighter colour blend then applied the darker colour the daker areas then blended with the light colour.

  

For the second card, we used the Tea Together Stamp Set from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, and coloured the teapot and tea cup in Light and Dark Pool Party. The flowers were coloured in Highland Heather and Old Olive was used for the leaves. The backing used the Sale-a-bration embossing folder  - Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions.

Both the Country Floral Embossing Folder and the Tea Time Framelits Dies are FREE during Sale-a-Bration.

We still have two more Blends classes in my series of 4 to learn about the many techniques for these beautiful Stampin' Blends. They are so versatile and completely change the characteristics of many of the stamp sets.  

I run regular classes on the Gold Coast for these techniques and many more.  Beginner, casual and avid crafters are all welcome!  Contact me for more information.

Black is the New Black

Tuesday 5th March Class

Black is the New Black

Black makes a STUNNING background behind coloured images, and this class highlighted the use of Stampin Up ® Embossing Folders and a pop of colour on each black card.  It's something a little different!

Each card consisted of Basic Black card base then an embossed layer, also in black.

Our masculine card utilised the Subtles Embossing Folder, and the Garage Gears Thinlits from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, cut out in Crushed Curry, Real Red and Tranquil Tide cardstock. The sentiment came from the Geared Up Garage Stamp set.

The second card used the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder (which is very festive!) with the Sweetest Things Stamp Set for the jar, jelly beans and sentiment.

We cut the jar using one of the three jar shapes in the Jar of Sweets Framelits.

The brightly coloured How Sweet It Is DSP, is the coloured stripey strip, and we used Stampin Blends in Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lovely Lipstick, Bermuda Bay to colour the jelly beans.  Cute!!

For the next card we used the beautiful Painted Seasons Stamp Set part of the 2nd release of Sale-a-bration.

This stamp set coordinates with a beautiful Painted Seasons DSP, but for this card we used the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, another 2nd release Sale-a bration item.

We used Lovely Lipstick ink for the flowers and Call Me Clover ink for the leaves. The extra pop of colour came from the Lovely Lipstick cardstock backing the sentiment.

For the last card we used the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and Tropical Thinlits, which sat over the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder.
The  flower is stamped in Melon Mambo ink with Shaded Spruce cardstock for the cut out leaf and , Lemon Lime Twist for the stamped leaves.

I run regular classes on the Gold Coast.  Beginner, casual and avid crafters are all welcome!  Contact me for more information.
