Don’t be frustrated by detailed die cutting – these simple tips will make your die cutting a dream! Plus in the video tutorial I’ll share versions of today’s card that feature a variety of Designer Series Papers, to help you take advantage of the July DSP Stock-Up offer. I’ll feature the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (back in stock at the start of August) and the Artistic Dies (in stock now) plus the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack (back in stock now). AND – I’ll teach you how to adapt the card to use what you have on hand.
A short note for those who subscribe by email for updates and the latest on LovenStamps blog posts: In the next week I’ll be switching over to a new service. I hope you’ll like the new format as much as I do! This will be my last post sent out via the current service, but you should continue to receive emails via the new service without interruption. Please let me know if you have any questions :)
If you love the look of the Blended Alcohol Background Technique, this Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper will save you the time and mess – just layer the paper and you’re set! The front and back of this paper has a terrific contrast, too. The gold foil really stands out and the Ephemera Pack elements are the ideal complement.
This gorgeous paper (I’ll be using it in my other July LovenStamps Monthly Tutorials projects) is scheduled to be back in the warehouse the first week of August. So watch for it to be available for ordering again very soon. And the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack (I used it for the gold strip and the gold leaves) was out of stock for awhile and is back in stock now. Moral of the story… order what you like when you see it — and know that the rest will be back shortly :)
Remember to stamp inside your cards, too.
A simple masking technique can be used to add the leaves to the flower on the inside of the card. Stamping with the same ink color (coordinating with the DSP) really ties the whole project together.
And here’s a quick sneak peek of the 3 versions that I present in the video tutorial (also featuring the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper and the Pattern Party Stampin Rewards Exclusive DSP):
Love the look of this project? Be sure to check out this month’s Artistically Inked stamp set tutorials and the supply list. If your order is at least $50, then you’ll also receive LovenStamps Card Kits “To Go” – two ready-to-stamp card kits mailed to your home for 2 of the monthly projects. Just add your stamps and ink, and I’ll supply the pre-cut papers and embellishments.
EDITED 9/20/21 TO ADD: Love these projects? Want the downloadable PDF tutorial? Good news!! The month may be over and I have a new tutorial available for free with purchase now, but the LovenStamps Expressions in Ink PDF Tutorial (4 projects, including this one) is available for purchase in the LovenStampsCardMart on Etsy!
