Ideas for using your Stampin' Up! DSP with The Tantalizing Stampers

 

Hi and welcome to another Tuesday blog hop and share of all things fun about using Designer Series Papers (DSP) on your projects.  The Tantalising Stampers are sharing ideas every Tuesday in October because Stampin' Up! has a nice discount on selected DSP during October.  You can see all the papers included in the offer and more in my Stampin' Up! Shop. 

For my share this week I've used the fun and colourful Plaid Tidings DSP on page 57 of the winter mini catalogue.  Having said colourful I've probably used one of the less bold pieces of 6 x 6" paper because I was making my card for one of the guys.  

I used the Love of Leaves bundle and took one stitched leaf die to create an aperture for my matt layer of DSP to shine through.  I've added a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set and used an off cut to matt that too.  

Here I used the die cut leaf shape which comes with a die that just adds the leaf veins taken from the card above.  The left over piece of dsp from the 6 x 6" shape fitted nicely onto my card base and I added some  greenery using the sprig punch. Before adhering the leaf I used a piece of double sided tear and tape to add a randomly looped piece of linen thread.  

Both cards have some enamel dots added for a little more texture.  

Simple but effective card making.  You can find all the materials in my shop.  

Enjoy the hop and all the fabulous ideas from my Tantalizing Team.  

Keep safe and keep stamping

Totally Techniques Stampin' Up! Demos Blog Hop

The Eclipse Technique

Stampin' Up! set We Must Celebrate is sooo cute.  I couldn't resist using it for our Totally Techniques blog hop this month which is the eclipse technique which is very trendy at the moment and also a lot of fun to create cards or home decor pieces with it.  You've just arrived from my team mate Annette's blog and her fab take on this fun technique so welcome to the UK. 

All the stamps on my card are part of Stampin' Up!'s We Must Celebrate set including the sentiment.  I used colours pear pizzazz, wild wasabi, and early espresso, black memento  ink pads and coloured the cute creatures with my Stampin Blends using old olive, pumpkin pie, ivory, bronze, smoky slate and crumb cake.  

I die added some tear and tape to the back of my whisper white card which helped, even though it got cut, to keep the letters in place after I'd die cut them using the Stampin Up Large Letter dies.  It was then also useful for adhering the drop parts of the letters to the base card of early espresso.  I decided that is was easier to get faces where I wanted them after cutting rather than before, but you can work it which way suits your design best.  Once stamped and coloured the white outline was stuck to the base card and then each letter was carefully raised with mini stampin dimensionals.    I stamped the sentiment, separated the two words and then free hand cut them out and added them to early espresso card to free hand cut again.  They too are adhered with stampin dimensionals.  Here's a Stampin' Up! video to show you how to do the basic technique.  

You can also see another example of this technique using designer series paper with no stamping by visiting this  stamping scene post of mine.

Thanks for stopping here to look.
