Pigment Sprinkles Class Part 2

I ran two fantastic fun classes to showcase the many ways you can create beautiful cards using Stampin Up ® Pigment Sprinkles. Look at all the different cards we made below.  


    


This beautiful card dandelion was one of my samples and uses White Embossing Powder and the Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set.  I sprinkled the sprinkles, spritzed with water and left to dry naturally.  


The cards below started their creation at the previous class.   We used the Pigment Sprinkles on Fluid Watercolor paper and then sprayed the surface with ironing starch. On the left, we crinkled Glad Wrap and left the card to dry and on the right, we sat bubble wrap on the top, to create the tiny circles. These were left to dry for a week - overnight is enough but it was a week between classes and then we peeled the plastic away.  The green background was run through the Stone Embossing Folder and decorated using the Tropical Chic stamp set, and the pink one used the Beautiful Day stamp set and Black Embossing Powder.  The results were stunning and each card was different.


The next technique was to add salt crystals to the mix.  Once the Pigment Sprinkles had been spritzed we added salt flakes and left the card to dry.  The salt drew the water in and created the a variety of effects like those below. 


Aren't the pineapples below delicious?  We used strips of Shimmer White cardstock to sprinkle the lighter Pigment Sprinkles colours then spritzed.  Once dry we used the  'In The Tropics' dies, to die cut these pretty pineapples. They both sit on the Coastal Weave 3D embossing folder. 



The last project was inspired by Erica Cerwin, a U.S. demonstrator.  We created a set of tags using the Scallop Circle punches, to create the large and small flowers including coloured centres and punch leaves.



Our class was a little overcrowded in the evening but so much fun.  If you haven't tried Pigment Sprinkles they are great fun if you love to experiment and be arty.  Give them a go!

Pigment Sprinkles Class Part 1



Using Stampin Up ® Pigment Sprinkles, can produce so many different effects.   I am running a two part class where we are getting (very) inky playing with this beautiful product.





The green themed card above, is the most common effect achieved with Pigment Sprinkles, where we have used White Embossing Powder and the Painted Poppies stamp set from the 2020 Mini Catalogue to create the flower outlines. These were stamped and embossed on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper by sprinkling the powder over the heat embossed images then spritzing with water to create the wash effect. The die cut leaves are from the Poppy Moments Dies.  Each person's finished product was unique and it was lovely to see the variety achieved.


 

The second card, used the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set (a freebee from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalogue.)  We spritzed the paper first and then sprinkled the pigment on the wet surface. To achieve the better coverage on the Lily, we used an Aqua Painter with the sprinkles to smooth out the colour more.  We painted each petal individually with water, sprinkled on the crystals, and either left them to spread or filled them in with the Aqua painter.



The last card we made in class, used the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set and White Embossing Powder to create the outline of the butterfly. For this card we sprinkled the pigment onto a clear block, and again used the aqua painter to pick up  the colour to paint the butterfly and wash effect for the background.  This allows a more subtle colour result as the Pigment Sprinkles are a very vibrant type of ink.


This is an exciting time in the Stampin Up year because we have our biggest promotion of the year:  Sale-a-Bration.

Stampin Blends Club Part 3

Thursday 4th April Class 

Techniques on Vellum 

This was our 3rd class using Stampin' Up's ® Stampin' Blends and colouring on Vellum.


The first card above, used the All That You Are stamp set, with White embossing powder, to create the raised outline of the flowers. We used Poppy Parade cardstock and Stampin Blend in the same colour for one of the flowers, with Daffodil Delight for the other as an alternative.
The trick to this card, is to colour on the reverse side of the vellum. 
Did you know that you can colour your ribbons and accessories using the Stampin' Blends?  The ribbon on both these cards was originally white but we used the brush tip end of our Blends to change the colour.



The second card, is the flower from the Beautiful Day stamp set with the outline stamped using Daffodil Delight ink, coloured with the Stampin Blends.
Both the Memento ink and the Classic range of colured inks are waterbased and therefore work with the alcohol markers.  Think 'opposites attract'!  
The background is the Crackle Paint stamp from the current Occasions Catalogue, and the base is Old Olive. The Blends were used to colour the pearls too, to add an extra dimension to the card.  

We still have one more Blends classes in my series of 4 to learn about the many techniques for these beautiful Stampin' Blends. I am looking forward to seeing what new colours are added when th4e Annual Catalogue comes out.  

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.
