Mini tutorial with a giveaway!

Hello and good morning dear friends! ^__^

I'm Halak and on this lovely Sunday morning, I bring to you a mini tutorial on how to use your layered stamps + a fun giveaway!

Before we move onto the projects, let's check out the stamped images :

Tip
Always use the right ink. The image you see above is a perfect example of that.

The flower on the left is two layered with 1 distress ink and 1 dye ink combination, whereas the flower on the right is all three layers with 2 distress inks and 1 dye ink.

When I tested out layered flower ink combinations, I found out that using more than 1 distress ink leads to a blurred image.

So, if you don't have a lot of colors, use distress inks by all means, but, don't use more than one distress ink for a flower or it will end up looking like the right hand side flower.

Trick to getting the flower layered perfectly

There are two ways to stamp a layered set.

1. You can go from light to dark ink or,
2. You can progress from dark to light ink.

I personally prefer the progression from dark to light by using a dark color as outline first so that getting the next layers is easy because I can see the image outline while positioning my next stamp.

Note
Peek-a-boo Designs Layered Dahalias stamp set is constructed in such a way that you can use just two layers and create beautiful dimensional flowers.

If you want added depth in your stamped image, there is always the option to use all three layers from the stamp set, but I feel, for the folks just starting out, it's a great idea to practice with two layers first.

Let's check out the projects :

Project #1

First up is this CAS project featuring the Layered Dahlias stamp set and cutting die.

Steps :

Stamped and die-cut the flowers.
Fussy-cutting is such a pain sometimes and I was so glad to have the die for this set. It helped me cut out the flowers in a jiffy!

Stenciled the RHS of the white card base using the Leafy Delight stencil and adhered a silver strip of  cardstock.

Matted Wine Cardstock onto white card base and adhered flowers.

Adhered sentiment that I die-cut using the Word - Inspire Die and gave it a coat of glitter.

Finished it off with some white and clear sequins.

Project #2

I went a little mixed media on this one.

Tip
Apart from the layered leaves in the stamp set, for added dimension, once you stamp and die-cut / fussy-cut the flowers, you can pair them up with mulberry leaves like I did in this project.

Steps :

For my background, I first layered woodgrain design pattern paper and some washi tape.

Die-cut background using the third largest rectangle from the Rounded Rectangle Dual Stitched Die

Used Arrows and BOX-tacular stencils to create textured look.

Also used a die-cut from the Graceful Lattice Die as a stencil in the background.

Adhered the Word - Dream Die as the sentiment and the flower from the Layered Dahlias set with a mulberry leaf.

Finished it off with some sequins and a tiny heart shaped sticker.

So that's how I did these projects and I hope these tid-bits of information helped clear some of the doubts and queries on layered stamp sets.

Now it's time for the Giveaway! ^__^

Peek-A-Tute Friday with Ria

Hello Everyone,

This is Ria again on this side with some projects on your favorite Friday! I hope you all are enjoying the July release and I am already seeing fabulous projects by everyone.

Are you taking part in this month's challenge Challenge 8 - Onlylayers

I am here today with three new projects going with the month's challenge theme. Let us move onto the projects:

FIRST PROJECT:

My first project is an altered glass bottle. I have made the project in four easy steps:

Step 1: Using your distress inks, stamp the butterflies from Bold butterflies of every size on a paper (I have used scrap paper and I never throw scraps and better use for these tiny stampings). I have also cut some tiny butterflies using a paper punch.

Step 2: Fussy cut the butterflies, blend the same ink on it by which it was stamped and I have used some bling with Wink of Stella.

Step 3: Cover the body of the bottle with acrylic colors with a sponge. Let it air dry for few minutes.

Step 4: Apply the texture paste on it through Leafy Delight Stencil. Let it dry. And then cover partially the same acrylic colors on it.

I have finished it by sticking the butterflies on it- on an ascending order. Placed all the three word diecuts from July release and some sequins.

SECOND PROJECT:

I have come to know about the transparent cards last month and wanted to try this asap. I have made the night scene with Festive berries, Blue Chase & Grape vine from artistry inks; with some mist and white acrylic.

Stamped the fairies, colored the wings, fussy cut them and adhered them to the margins. The sentiment is also from the same set. I have stamped the stars from the solid shapes set and embossed them with Enchanted Gold. Its done!

THIRD PROJECT:

My third project is a card this time. Made the background with the BOX-tacular stencil with some mist and pearl effect on it. Stamped and colored the flourish from the Humming blossom Set. Cut it into an oval shape, adhered on a black foam and then on the background, finished with some enamel dots and sequins!

SUPPLIES USED

I hope I have done justice to the mixed media and the transparent card with my first trials. 

Do not forget to avail these awesome collection that too on a discount by applying the code RIA_10

Thanks for stopping by

Hugs

Stencil love - 3 cards

Hi... Hello..
Crafty friends... I am Swapna from The Dream Pages

I am Swapna from The Dream Pages, I hope you are playing along this month's challenge which is LAYERS

Hope you are enjoying our blog posts from all fellow DTs. This is my second detail post for this month for PABD and its mainly on STENCILS. Sometimes its tricky to add layers in CAS cards but its fun to challenge yourself to do so. When the post is about stencils then lets talk about these stencils a bit.

These are 8.5*8.5" stencils which allow you to cover larger area so these can be used to make 5*7" cards also and for Mixed media too.

Now coming to my projects

Card 1

I have a small, behind the screen story for this card.
To be frank I was not sure about this card. My fellow Dt Ria have designed this stamp and after July release she asked me 'Did you like Humming blooms' set n particularly bird images? I said liked but I might not do justice with birds so I will use only flourish from the set. Then I thought WHY NOT TRY birds. So decided to make this card.

* My first step was to keep the card base ready, so i took a black top folding card base. I secured the base to my work surface along with stencil. Applied texture paste concentrating towards centre portion of the base. Left it air dry.

* I stamped and coloured the small bird from the set on water colour paper and coloured in rainbow theme. Then fussy cut the image. I used wink of stella for blending colours and to add shimmer to the image

* Heat embossed the custom sentiment on black CS.

* Mounted bird and sentiment with foam tape.

Card 2

I will try my best to explain this card.

* I took 15*7" CS, scored at 5 and 10".

* Partial die cut on each flaps using the stitched oval dies.

* Placed the stencil on one flap and applied SSS lavender ink and on other flap I applied hero arts white pigment ink. While placing the stencil on other flap I made sure the design that the design continues.

* Cut white CS with second large and second small stitched oval die. Stamped image with same SSS ink. Coloured the image with colour pencils. Stamped sentiment with Versafine black onyx ink.

* Glued large oval inside card. Mounted small oval in the front.

Supplies

Card 3

After doing 2 cards I was thinking to do one more card with our third stencil. Thought to keep it simple.

* Placed the stencil over a white CS. Used two distress inks to blend.

* Trimmed it 0.5 cm on all sides so that it can fit on the card base.

* Stamped the sentiment with black ink. Applied black wink-of-stella for shimmer and Glossy accent for gloss.

* Die cut a heart, applied wink of stella and glossy accent.

Thats it..
