Stampendous and Whisker Graphics



Today is the last day of the Stampendous and Whisker Graphics blog hop.  I hope you’ve  enjoyed the mix of Whisker Graphics goodies with stamps, stencils and Essentials. It’s a perfect ingredient list for party decor and gifts, right?  

For my project today, I’ve used Cling Daisy Mix once again, this time in honor of Mother’s Day.  I’ve created a very simple card along with a sweet gift bag.  I love the end result and I hope you do, too!





Here’s what I used to create this card and tag:

StāzOn™ Jet Black Ink Pad by Tsukineko®/Imagine Crafts®
Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink Pad by Tsukineko®/Imagine Crafts®
Spectrum Aqua™ Markers - Peacock Blue, Heather, Moss, Bud Green, Sunflower
Yellow Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Little Yellow Bicycle® Hello Spring 6”x6” Paper Pad
Strathmore® Mixed Media Paper
E-Z Runner® from Scrapbook Adhesives® by 3L™
3D Foam Mounting Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives® by 3L™

Here’s what I did to create this card and bag:

Stamp 4 flowers onto mixed media paper, watercolor and die cut.
Trim a piece of patterned paper to 4” x 5 1/4”.
Create an A2 card base with a tent fold from yellow cardstock.
Adhere patterned paper to card base.
Add foam squares to backs of three flowers and adhere to card.
Add adhesive to leaves and adhere to card front.
Create a bow from twine and adhere to card front.
Stamp the word Mom onto end of tag with black ink.
Fold top of bag over and punch two holes in the middle of folded section.
Trim a piece of twine and thread through holes, then thread one end through hole on tag, tie a bow.
Adhere leaves to back side of flower and then attach the flower with a foam square to tag.

Vintage Style

Today we're wrapping up a week of showcasing projects created using Fran Seiford's new book Stampendous recently released, "Embossing Powder Techniques from A to Z?"  It's 100 pages of everything you will ever need to know about embossing!  Today I used technique H - Vintage Cracked Glass Embossing Powder Technique on page 27.  This technique is great for "instant aging" creating a vintage or mixed media look.  Don't forget, if you need a heat gun to try these embossing techniques, Stampendous now carries the Wagner Embossing Heat Tool.  This is the best heat tool on the market!  It efficiently melts even the thickest layer of embossing enamel.




Here's what I used to create this card:

Spectrum Aqua™ Markers in Essentials by Crafter's Companion®
Jet Black Ink Pad Archival Ink™ by Ranger®
Infinity Permanent Metallic Marker in Silver by The Write Dudes™
Mixed Media Paper by Strathmore®
Grasshopper Cardstock by My Colors®
Bo Bunny® 12" Gabriella Fairest Patterned Paper
Bo Bunny® 12" Ambrosia Flowers Patterned Paper
Gathered Twigs Distress Ink Pad by Ranger®
May Arts® Ribbon and Twine
Celebrate It™ Occasions™ White Paper Flowers
10 mm White Rose Mulberry Flowers by Pizzazz Aplenty™
4 mm Light Coffee Flatback Pearls by Pizzazz Aplenty™


Here's a list of my teammates that are playing along today:


Thanks so much for stopping by to have a look.  I hope you've spotted some new embossing techniques you're wanting to try out!  It's always fun to learn something new and this book has a ton of great information, you're going to love it!  Have a wonderful weekend and I'll see you again next week.

Hugs,
Lea
