Trio of Tags- Autumn Silhouettes

 

Hi Friends!

This week on the Stamp Simply blog, the Design Team are focusing on tags.  

While I had the inks out from my last post, I decided to pull out two Stamp Simply stamp sets (including the new Autumn Silhouettes) along with a Tim Holtz stencil to create my mixed media tag trio.

As many of you who follow my blog know that I enjoy participating with online challenges and I am linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #563-#564 Anything Goes Challenge.

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to see all of the tag inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the above challenge sites- gorgeous cards/tags from all!

To create this set of tags:

Die cut three tags from white cardstock using the medium tag die from the Sizzix Thinlits by Tim Holtz Tag Collection (I used a white cardstock with a bit of a coating that I have in my stash- sorry, not sure of the manufacturer, I used to work for a printing company and it was some of their overstock).  

Using a stencil brush, apply Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink to the majority of the tags.

De-static the tags with an embossing powder tool, ink the wheat image from the Autumn Silhouettes using Versamark™ ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, use a stencil brush to Candied Apple and Crazed Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink and gently heat set the ink with a heat tool.

Using a stencil brush, apply Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink over the wheat images.  Use a dry paper towel to wipe off the excess ink from the stamped images.

Use a purple water-based markers to add additional shadows around the wheat images,

Ink the Scripty Background Minis 2 image with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Stamp = sporadically over the tag (not stamping the entire image) and wipe off the excess ink over the stamped images.

Heat the script images slightly to set the ink.

Using a stencil brush, with the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil- Flourish, apply Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink around the tag (re-positioning the stencil to create texture).

Lightly spritz the tag with water to create a splatter effect on the background, allow the water to set for a few seconds, then dab with a dry paper towel before lightly heating each tag with a heat tool to dry the ink.

De-static the lower left portion of the tag with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiments from the Autumn Silhouettes using Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Finish off the tag with a looped piece of black seam binding.

Joy to the World

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a quick Christmas card designed with the new stamps and paper from the October release along with other stamps and supplies from Stamp Simply!  

Look at all those gorgeous stamps and coordinating dies in this new release!

I chose the Scripty Background Minis 2 set for my card- I love the fonts used as well as the four different verse sentiments in each stamp set.  The Scripty Background Minis are available individually- Scripty Background Minis 1 and Scripty Background Minis 2 or as a bundle (both sets in the bundle are pictured below). 

Also, I absolutely love the new Sending Joy 6x6 paper pad from Studio Light- so many pretty patterns for quick Christmas cards! Add a stamped sentiment and a bit of layering and you are finished!

I will be linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #513- #514 “Anything Goes” Challenge as well as the Watercooler Wednesday #326 “Helen’s All About Occasions” Challenge.  I am so far behind on creating Christmas cards, I am thankful that this one was fairly quick and easy :-)

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!

To create this card:

De-static a piece of the Sending Joy designer paper with an embossing powder tool and trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.

Ink the Joy to the World background stamp from the Scripty Background Minis Set 2 with Versamark ink, stamp repeatedly (offsetting as you stamp) across the background, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, use a clear glitter marker to add shimmer to the trees and snow line, set aside.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the reindeer and Joy to the World ornament image from Farmhouse Christmas with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, carefully fussy-cut around the images.

 Layer onto another piece of white cardstock and fussy cut again (this gives the pieces a bit more strength).

Add a piece of silver cord to the ornament and mount the ornament onto the stamped background panel with dimensional foam (wrapping the ends of the cord behind the designer paper).

 Mount onto a piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Add the reindeer image with dimensional foam and a looped bow from the silver cord to finish off the card.

Ink/Mediums: Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black, Zig Wink of Stella Brush- Clear Glitter Marker
