Technique Tuesday – Coloring with Aqua Painters!!!

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Today I have a fabulous technique to share with you!!! Every once in awhile I pulling out my Aqua Painter Marker and enjoy coloring…..usually flowers!!! Check out this beauty!!!

I love Black and White with a POP of color….any color!!! Isn’t this card just amazing??? Now let’s get started!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Whisper White Cardstock, flower or other line image stamp, Ink Pads, Aqua Painter, Stazon Ink

For this card, I did not use Watercolor Paper. I used regular Whisper White cardstock! I inked up the flower from the You’ve Got This Stamp Set in Stazon Black and stamped it onto a piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock! Then I used Tangelo Twist and Cucumber Crush Ink Pads to color the flower in. To keep my ink pads clean, I just take a clear block and stamp it into the ink pad and use that as my color palette. When using the Aqua Painter, be sure not to squeeze the barrel of the pen because that makes lots of water come out and you get a puddle on your project. Lightly swipe some ink from clear block color palette and then start coloring your image. The more you use it, the more the ink starts to get lighter and lighter, because of this you can start on the edges of your image and when the color is lighter, move into the middle. This will give more of a watercolor look. Once you are done with one color, just squeeze the barrel to allow more water to come out and wipe it into a paper towel. Then move to your next color. For the yellow center, I used a Crushed Curry Marker. I like a nice bold yellow color so I prefer to use the marker. You can set this aside to dry while you prepare your card. The card base if Tangelo Twist and then I layered a piece of Basic Black (4″ x 5-1/4″) on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then with a piece of Whisper White (3-3/4″ x 5″), stamp the same flower image from the You’ve Got This Stamp Set along the left side and top. Be sure to angle the flowers around for a slightly different look. I found that the more I overlapped the flower, the more of a mess it looked but that’s all up to you! The greeting is from the Happy Birthday Everyone Hostess Stamp Set. Oh how I love that large scroll-y font! Now for the “fun” part……fussy cutting that beautiful flower you colored!!! Once you are done cutting it out, you can add it to your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals! TIP: Cut some of the dimensional edge for those little leaves and tiny areas!!! Love it!!! I could create this card in every color!!!

Technique Tuesday – Masking!

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! You know what that means…..I have a technique to share with you today! This one is fun….minus the fussy cutting……and super amazing!!! NOTE: Save the cut out flower in the stamp case for future use!!!!!

Isn’t this card stunning in it’s simplicity? You could use this technique for some many different styles of cards as well! Let’s get started on this masking fun!!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Scrap Paper, Stamps, Ink

The supplies this week are super simple. All you have to do is stamp your image onto a piece of scrap paper. I used the flower from the You’ve Got This Stamp Set! You don’t need to cut it out perfectly or even exactly on the lines. You can do a general cutting around the edges cut. This is the hardest part……boo for fussy cutting! 🙂 Now this part you can do 2 different ways depending on your preference! I did the next step by placing the mask on my Whisper White cardstock and stamping the background image from the You’ve Got This Stamp Set over top. Your mask leaves an open spot for you to stamp the flower next without having the background image behind it! I had a stamper at class ask me how you would do it if you have the Wood Block You’ve Got This Stamp Set. For that, you would stamp your flower, lay the mask on top, and then stamp your background. This way you don’t have to worry about exact placement when stamping the flower. Now you are all set. Layer that onto a piece of Crumb Cake and then onto your Pool Party card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I thought the sides needed a little something so I finished the card off with a few pearls on each side!!! You could also rotate your flower the other way, adhere it higher on the card and stamp a greeting of your choice on the bottom!!! This card is perfect for lots of different occasions!!!

You could also do this technique and color in the flower or use a greeting in the middle rather than a flower. So many fun ways using the masking technique!!! If you would like to see this in action, check out my Video Tutorial below! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!!

Technique Tuesday – Rock & Roll…or Ink & Pounce??

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday, stampers!!! I hope your week is going well! Today is Tuesday so that means I have a fabulous technique to share with you. I’m loving this one because of the amazing colors!!! Of course you could pick any 2 colors to do this technique! I picked Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry!!!! Let’s Rock and Roll!!!!

So I have always known this technique as the Rock and Roll Technique where you in the stamp up in a lighter color and then rock and roll the stamp on a darker color in pad to get those edges inked up. Welcome to Laura’s Stamp Pad and the love of Sponge Daubers….this is now called Ink & Pounce! I can make up any name for it, right? Let’s get started!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Background stamp or any large solid stamp, 2 ink pads, Sponge Daubers

I used the background image from the You’ve Got This Stamp Set and inked it up in Melon Mambo. Then I sat the stamp down and took my Sponge Dauber and Rich Razzleberry Ink and pounced all around the edges!!! I prefer this method because then any excess Melon Mambo ink is going into my sponge dauber and not my ink pad. Also since this image isn’t perfectly round or the exact shape, I don’t have to worry that a spot didn’t get any Rich Razzleberry. Once you have both colors on your stamp, flip it over and stamp it down onto some Whisper White cardstock! It’s that simple! You could always add in more colors, create an ombre look going light to dark, or camouflage with a few colors. You can have fun with it and create lots of different looks! I stamped the greeting from Lovely Amazing You in the center with Stazon Black Ink. For the ribbon, I used the New Melon Mambo Satin Stitched Ribbon and tied it around a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock (1″ x 4″). I added that to the white carsdtock and then placed it on the Melon Mambo card base! Simple and yet super fabulous! Who else is loving these colors???? What colors would you pick?? Leave me a comment down below!

Technique Tuesday – Tin of Cards!!!

Posted on July 7, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! That means I have a technique to share with you…..the “technique” this week is quick and simple and a wonderful gift item for anyone!!!! The NEW Stampin’ Up! Catalog has so many wonderful kits in it and I love each one of them. So far though, my favorite is the Tin of Cards Project Kit!!! I think the Mint Macaron and White striped tin is just adorable!! The kit makes 16 cards with envelopes and dividers for the tin to keep the tin organized! This is the perfect gift item for anyone! We all need cards to use throughout the year so this is perfect for any occasion (I started listing them but it went on and on)!!!

Look at all of this! It is stunning and would make a wonderful gift!!!! Now lets get into the specifics!!!

Are you swooning over this adorable tin like me??? I love it!!! The kit comes with 9 tabbed cards for you to create. There are lots of the Mint Macaron Designer Papers for you to pick from (and 1 extra) to adhere to the front. Then the Tin of Cards Stamp Set has these adorable 3 sided rectangle image that fits perfectly on each tab and then of course all of the card types – Birthday, Thanks, Sympathy, Wedding, Just Because, Baby, Hello, Congrats, Misc. You could always use this for a recipe card box and add other tags to those tabs!

Here is the first set of cards! There are 4 each of 4 designs and coordinating envelopes. This set has these amazing die-cut card bases with that heart across the front. You just adhere the designer series paper in, stamp your greeting on the banner, and add some epoxy hearts! It’s that simple! You can always mix it up and turn your paper over like I did in one of them (that wasn’t a mistake). You can place your greeting and hearts any where you wish and you can use any greeting you need!!!

I love these the most I think!!! That gold foil POPS so much….even my photos were all shiny! I love it! I stamped the Happy on the gold foil and on the white card. The kit came with the white circles already with greetings on there (in lots of different languages) or you could always stamp a greeting from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set in the middle! I love the look of the Baker’s Twine behind a greeting but I think I need to practice some more…..mine all came out looking a little weird I thought. To finish these cards off, there are clear epoxy stars randomly placed on the card!!!

These cards were super quick and simple. The base was already printed with the Bermuda Bay strip. Adhere the Crushed Curry Designer Paper and stamp the border from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set along the top. It was easy to stamp the border because it is a Photopolymer stamp set and you can overlap the center since it is covered by the greeting. I was really impressed with the stamped image on the wooden accents. It came out really clear and bold. I was thinking it would look all grainy and light. Woot Woot for that! Then finish it off with the die cut gold glimmer hearts. I wanted the one to be more manly so I just put 2 hearts on another one!!!

These cards are amazing but they took a little bit longer. All of the butterflies came die cut out already. The vanilla solid butterfly is stamped with a greeting to match the main greeting. Then I used Mini Glue Dots in the center of the butterfly to adhere the yellow one onto the vanilla one. I used them for the coral medium butterfly as well. For the little butterfly I used the curly border stamp to create a center. I also stamped that border on the top and bottom of the card base. The original card base comes with that rectangle popped out and you adhere the polka dot window sheet over that cut out. Behind the big butterfly is some gold thread that is wrapped in loops and peaking out. You really can’t see it in these photos. Now add your butterflies and greeting and you are all set.

Also, look at all of these leftover pieces – 8 white circles, tons of gold foil strips, gold thread, 4 banners, white hearts, and a mint maracon piece of designer paper!!!

Technique Tuesday – Explosion Card Insert

Posted on June 30, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday All!!!! Tuesdays means one thing and that is a fabulous technique!!!! Today, I’m sharing with your this fabulous Pop Up Explosion Card Insert. It is super fun and has a 10 on the WOW scale. Also, it can be inserted into any card you create!!!

Did you think I was going to give it all away with the first picture??? Ha, you have to wait a smidge longer! 🙂 How cute and simple is this card already though!!! Love Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set and Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper!!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: a piece of printer paper, Bone Folder, and stamps to decorate

This is rather simple once you get the folds down! (That is a big part of it. hehe) You will need a piece of 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Printer Paper. If you use Whisper White cardstock it is too bulky and thick. I started out folding the piece of printer paper in half so that I would know where the middle was. Be sure when you fold it that you are use a bone folder for a nice strong crease and it will fold and unfold much better this way. Now that you know where your center is, you can start stamping all over……like this!!!!

See how fabulous that is!!!! You totally have to watch the video below to see it in action! It is amazing!!! You can see my center line right above the greeting “there’s something really worth celebrating today…” I wanted that line so I knew to stamp that greeting either right above or right below for the center. That is the only fold that I did in the beginning because it is much harder to stamp on folded paper than flat. So I stamped the greetings from the Remembering Your Birthday Stamp Set and the candles, confetti, and cupcake from the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set!!! Once you have decorated, it is time to do the rest of the folds. Fold it in half diagonal corner to corner both ways so that it creates an “X” on your paper. So now you should have a line across the middle and an X. So now, fold it in half diagonal on the line you created to make a triangle. Fold it again on the other diagonal line, making it into a smaller triangle. Now with your triangle, you will fold in both ends that have the open sides (not folding the tip that is all folds but the other 2 that have openings so you can see your stamped images). I hope that makes sense…..that is why I created a Video Tutorial. 🙂 Fold the 2 sides into the middle, be sure to use your Bone Folder for those nice strong creases. Now unfold it all and it’s time to make it into the explosion piece. You are done making new folds. Fold it in half on your line, pop in the large triangle sides. Then you will pop in the 4 little triangles as well. Now you are all done and it is time to insert it into any card!!! I used Fast Fuse for a strong hold but I’m pretty sure that Snail would work as well! Add adhesive all along the edges, peak in to see if you added it to the top or bottom so you are inserting it into your card correctly. Then lay it in your card, adhesive side up, be sure to line it up with the edge of the card and centered. The point of the insert should be in the crease of the card. Once it is all lined up, close the card, pressing on that adhesive. Now flip it over, add adhesive to the other side and again, close the card to seal it. You are all done and can decorate the front of your card as well!

For the front, I used the Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack and then added another cupcake from the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set! Now for what you have been waiting for……the Video Tutorial. I hope it helps you create this amazing insert because it is really fairly easy (just hard to write out). Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to share your creations. I would love to see them!!!

Technique Tuesday – Shaving Cream Creations!

Posted on June 23, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Today I have a wonderful technique to share with you! It is fun, messy and smells good (if you get the scented kind)!!!! 🙂 Now go get your can of shaving cream and let’s get started!!!! (Note: Shave gel does not work!)

ROCK ON!!!! I’m sorry but when I see this card, that is what comes to mind!!! 🙂 This card was the first piece that I did when I placed it on the shaving cream! The images change the more it gets mixed together and moved around. Also, I got more brave on moving the paper around and pressed differently the more I did!!! So let’s get started on how to create this amazing look!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Re-inkers, Shaving Cream, Cardstock, Container or Paper Plate, Tooth Pick, Butter Knife

To get started, you will need a plastic container or paper plate to spray the shaving cream on. Spray out the shaving cream, back and forth to cover your plate. It doesn’t need to be super thick or even all across. Now pick your re-inker colors and drip all over the shaving cream randomly. I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, and Elegant Eggplant! You can use 2 colors or lots and lots of colors! I wanted to add in the yellow so that it would mix with the blue and create green for me! 🙂 You can leave it like this or you can use a tooth pick to swirl or drag the colors around! Now it’s time to place the cardstock in it!!! You will do exactly that – take a piece of cardstock and place it into the shaving cream pressing all over and then pulling it out. Place it on a napkin and take your butter knife and wipe all of the access shaving cream off. Now you can use another paper towel to wipe off any left over shaving cream. ALL DONE! It’s that simple. Each one is going to look different!

This was the second piece that I placed into the shaving cream. You can see that the colors are starting to mix a bit more!

As for the one above and the next 2 samples, I’m not sure what the order was but the more times you use the shaving cream, the more it is mixed up. I also started smearing it around more and more just to see how it would come out!!

This was a long strip of cardstock that I then cut into the 3 pieces. I actually drug this piece through the shaving cream more than pressing it into the cream! Each way will achieve a different look!

As you can see each one comes out completely different!!! I decorated each card with some basic supplies. I used Whisper White Cotton Ribbon, Whisper White Baker’s Twine and the New Whisper White Satin Stitched Ribbon!!! For the greeting, I used the Happy Birthday from Age Awareness! I punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch!

This is a photo of the shaving cream after I did all of these cards in it. I really mixed the colors up to see what would come out!!! I did say it would be messy in the beginning! 🙂

Here are the samples that I created in the Video!!! If you would like to see this in action, check out my Video Tutorial below! Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!!

Technique Tuesday – Banner Triple Punch!!!

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!!! You know what that means! I have a fabulous technique to share with you today!!! This technique is something you have seen before but now there is a NEW simple way to get the look! Banners are super “in” right now but frustrating to get the perfect look. I always used this technique – cut straight up in the center and then from the corner to that cut straight line! This would get a “perfect” banner each time!!! Well if that never worked for you or really want quick and simple banners, the Banner Triple Punch is for you!!!

The forecast this week is showing rain and cloud all week! I’m not too worried about it because it has been in the forecast for the past 3 days and we have only gotten a light sprinkle twice! It still isn’t what I like to see when looking at the weather but with every cloud there is a silver lining! Lots of indoor stamping time!!!!

This card was quick and simple and uses the NEW In-color Cucumber Crush!! I love this vibrant green color….makes me think of grass. A nice rain shower does make the grass bright and green! There is another silver lining! 🙂 I added some banners with Whisper White and some Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper! To make the banners, I used the Banner Triple Punch! This punch is super handy and makes perfect banner every time. The Designer Series Paper is 2″ and the Whisper White is 1-1/2″! I used the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set for the greeting, trees, and cloud!!! I stamped the tree trunks in Chocolate Chip with the middle one really low to add depth to the trees! The leaves were stamped on scrap paper in Cucumber Crush and punched out with the Tree Builder Punch! The cloud was stamped in Smoky Slate and punched out with the Tree Builder Punch as well! I adhered 2 of the leaves and the cloud with Stampin’ Dimensionals! Love them! When I did this card in my stamp class, many of the stampers added some Dazzling Details to their cloud and it looked so fabulous!

There are so many great ways to use the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set. You can check out more samples using this stamp set and the Banner Triple Punch here, here, and here! Also, if you would like to see the punch used in action, check out the video below!! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it!!

Technique Tuesday – Ice Cream Cone Perfection!!!

Posted on June 9, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Today I have a few little techniques to share with you. Some you may have seen before and others you may not have. My favorite one is the “bow” look which was created with some of the NEW Watermelon Wonder Lace Trim and some Whisper White Baker’s Twine! How cute is that???

How beautiful and fun is this card??? I love it!!!! Guess what stamp set was used? SPRINKLES OF LIFE!!!!! I just can’t put this stamp set down. There are endless possibilities!

I started with a Tip Top Taupe card base and added some Watermelon Wonder that was embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder! Then I added a Tea Lace Paper Doily and an oval of the Neutrals Color Collection Designer Series Paper Pack. I used the Ovals Framelits to cut it out! Now for the cone, I used Tip Top Taupe cardstock and ink and cut it out fussy cut style (at least it’s straight lines)! For the ice cream, I used Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, and Whisper White. Those were cut out with the coordinating Tree Builder Punch! The little cherry was done in Watermelon Wonder and the punch! Of course the ice cream was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals (only add them on top portion and not on the overlap portion)! The ribbon was very simple. I cut a small piece of the Watermelon Wonder Lace Trim and tied the center with Whisper White Baker’s Twine and tied a bow! Simple and fabulous! This is a great way to use up those little leftover pieces!!! Love it!!!!

Of course I added some Dazzling Details to the ice cream for a little flare and sparkle! I got this idea from a fellow stamper – Chris Slogar! Thank you for the inspiration and idea! Love it!

What is your favorite part about this stamp set – the Tree, the Cupcake, or this Ice Cream Cone???? Let me know in the comments below!

Technique Tuesday – Reflection Technique!!!

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means? I have a fabulous technique to share with you today! It has a major WOW Factor and it is actually fairly simple to create!!! It makes great man cards too!! 🙂

How cool is that? The reflection of the trees in the “pond”, or whatever water it is, is just stunning!! I love it! You can do this technique with lots of different images and not just trees! Now let’s get started!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Sponge Daubers, Window Sheet, Stamp Set, and Ink

See I told you it was easy since the supply list is so short! I have a feeling you all doubt me on that! 🙂 The piece of Whisper White cardstock that I used for this one measures 4-1/4″ x 3-3/4″. I started by sponging my cardstock first. I saw this technique at Spring Into Stamping and Debbie advised to do that first! I used the Soft Sky Sponge Dauber for the very bottom (pond) with just a few passes back and forth. Then I used the Pool Party Sponge Dauber above that for the pond and at the top for the sky. The leftover (middle) section I filled in with the Wild Wasabi Sponge Dauber. I added the brown at the end; using the tree stamp as a guide for those marks! Once you have your cardstock all colored in, you will stamp the trees from Lovely As A Tree with Chocolate Chip Ink in the Wild Wasabi section of your card. Now ink up your stamp again and stamp it onto a piece of Window Sheet! Be very careful to press evenly and not slide all over. If it does, no worries, just wipe it off with a baby wipe or wet paper towel and do it again! Now you will take your window sheet, flip it over, and press it down to your cardstock either just below your already stamped trees or down further. You can do it either way, it also might depend on where your water starts. Once you lay the window sheet down, just gently press all over so the ink is touching the cardstock and soaking in! Now lift up and voila! That’s it!!! See I told you it was easy! After looking at the sample above, I decided it needed a little dirt at the pond’s edge so I went in with some brown and did a few passes!!! You could also use a darker green!

Here is another sample that I created! My pond was much smaller so I could only fit half of the trees on there. I actually think I like this one better. The card at the top made me always wonder which way was up but with this one I know!

Here is another sample that I created with the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set. I really love this one because the reflection image is sort of fuzzy looking so it really looks like a reflection in the water. I think it came out like that because it is a more solid image and the ink pooled in places on the window sheet. The Lovely As A Tree Stamp is very fine and small so it came out more clear and crisp! For the card above, I stamped the tree first and then did the Window Sheet reflection of the tree. Then I did the leave and the reflection of the leaves. I added the grass and flower stems (for more texture) to the card and then just sponged Pool Party below the grass. So I actually sponged last for this card! I added the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched it out with the Word Window Punch and layered it onto Wild Wasabi Modern Label Punch! I added the greeting to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals!

If you would like to see this technique in action, you can check out my Video Tutorial below! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it and subscribe to My Channel so you don’t miss out on future videos!

Let me know in the comment below which of these 3 you liked best! If you are planning on trying out this technique, let me know if you will be using a tree or another type of image! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Technique Tuesday – Baby Wipe Technique!!!

Posted on May 26, 2015 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means….I have a fabulous technique to share with you today! This is an oldy but a goody! It is so much fun and super simple too! The look comes out different each time but it is really fabulous!

Amazing shades of pink and I’m in heaven!!!! Love love love it!!!! Now let’s get started!!!

SUPPLIES NEEDED: Baby Wipe, Re-Inkers, Cardstock

This is a really simple technique. You just take your baby wipe and fold it up. For this I folded it into quarters but if you are using a larger stamp, then you can fold it in half. Be sure it is at least 2 layers thick. If you are using a large stamp, just layer 2 wipes. Place them on a plate, plastic container, or clear block stamp case like I did!!! Then using your Re-Inkers you will squeeze dots all around in Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette! I went with the lightest and darkest pinks for a strong contrast but you could use any colors you use! Now the baby wipe is your ink pad. It is as simple as that! Then I took the flower from the Crazy About You Stamp Set and used my new baby wipe ink pad to stamp flowers all over scrap Whisper White cardstock. Then I punched them out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch so that I could use them on my card. For my card, I have a Whisper White base (5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″) with Melon Mambo (5-1/4″ x 4″) on top! With another Whisper White piece measuring 3-3/4″ x 5″, I stamped the leaves from the Crazy About You Stamp Set in Wild Wasabi and added my greeting in Melon Mambo from the Lovely Amazing You Stamp Set! Now it is time to add your flowers! I placed one in the corner with Snail adhesive and trimmed off the excess. For the other 2 flowers, I added those with Stampin’ Dimensionals!!!! You know how I love those things!!! Beautiful!!! I just love it! I really think that purple would be fabulous too – really any color would be amazing!

Here is another one that I created! For this card, I used Tempting Turquoise, Elegant Eggplant, and Daffodil Delight Re-Inkers on the Baby Wipe. I just placed drops all over the place. They bleed together and created that beauiful green! This is just a really fun technique! For this card, I used the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set and just stamped all over a piece of Whisper White cardstock (3″ x 5″). I layered that onto a piece of Tempting Turquoise (3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″) and added it to my card base of Daffodil Delight! I added some Daffodil Delight Seam Binding around the card and stamped the greeting at the bottom. This greeting is from the Remembering Your Birthday Stamp Set so the coordinating greeting is stamped on the inside! 🙂 I think this card scream Teens or Tweens. It’s like rockstar, punk rock looking…..or something? Am I alone here? Let me know in the comments below!!!

Also, I created a Video Tutorial for you on this cool technique and a few tips and tricks! Don’t forget to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!!!
