Decided to make a series of technique tutorials that I will post on Tuesdays…starting off with some more of the videos produced by Stampin’ Up!
Each one of these is a little gem – showcasing a simple and effective technique with minimal supplies needed. These include some of my favourite, most used techniques – whether as a beginner all those years ago – or as a more advanced stamper as now! And I loved to share these techniques with my new stampers – always get a WoW!!
Marker to Stamp Technique – use daily! Wouldn’t be without my big box of marker pens! One of my first Stampin’ Up! purchases – one of my best – one of my most used - and still going strong. Not got the fabulous box of Many Marvellous Markers yet? Treat yourself now – don’t leave till June!!
Using Sponge Daubers – use my daubers daily – do you?
Masking Technique. I do some masking every week…
Note that the stamp set featured in this video is a promotional Sale A Bration item that is no longer available. However I do have one left as a gift for an order over £50 (excl P&P). Only one available!
Well seeing as you loved the Stampin Up! Video Technique I shared yesterday... I have just had a look and here are a few more I have found to to share…
Most of these are just 2 minutes to WOW! Simple but effective techniques that you will want to try too….
Watercolour Shadows & Highlights Techniques. Just posted. Guess what I will be trying out next!!
Now still on watercolouring.
The next few use stamps that were featured in the Sale A Bration promotion – so you will have to concentrate on the techniques rather than the images!! Though I do have a few spares if you would like to order £50+ product through me this month!
Watercolour with Blender Pens ( a must do technique as far as I am concerned!!)
Watercolour Wash Technique ( So Simple, Such Fun & So Effective!)
So there you have it – one technique for each day this weekend!! Enjoy!
I’ll be looking for more of these next week for you. Thank you for filming these Stampin’ Up!
Quick share of a video produced by Stampin’ Up! entitled Rock n’ Roll Stamping.
This was one of my first new-to-me techniques when I first joined Stampin’ Up! nearly 7 years ago.
And one that I regularly use still…. A real good ‘un as they say in Yorkshire!
Enjoy!
A quick tip for you today…..
After spending time peering carefully through my clear photopolymer stamp to line up the “few leaves” over the “lots of leaves” - and having watched this video released by Stampin’ Up! showing us tips on how to use these stamps & framelits (which explains the fab new feature of alignment tabs to be found on both the wreath stamps and the dies to make lining up a breeze!) - but then deciding that I was not going to do a 2 die-cut pass…
A lightbulb moment hit me… obvious really but…. stamp the “few leaves”… then overstamp with the “lots of leaves”…. really easy to line everything up that way…. a lot quicker – and a slightly softer effect too….
And so onto today’s card…..
OK OK… the more observant of you will have spotted that the “to the world” greeting is from a retired set from last year… and some fellow Jems will recognise this card from my Inspiration display a year ago! Yes…new year…new wreath… that is all I am going to say!!!
So the other details…
The large letters are sponged through the alphabet masks in the Build A Banner Simply Created Kit which was re-released in this years Annual Catalogue. Great banner – but this kit is highly recommended just for the masks!!
Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details adds some glimmer to the berries
The flower is in the Wondrous Wreath stamp set – along with the matching die in the Wonderful Wreath die set….
The wreath on the card was created before my lightbulb moment…. oops…. lining up not quite right!!!
Come back tomorrow for another tip to give this wreath some extra dimension…..
