Grouped Layering Stamps

Hello everyone! Hope you’re all well and stay healthy! It’s TaeEun here today with a couple of floral cards I made using some of our grouped layering stamp sets. I used Peony Memories Cardmaking, Rose of Sharon, Floral Bits 1 & 2 and Spring Layered Alphas stamp sets and coordinating dies.

If you haven’t heard about the grouped Layering stamp sets yet, you have to check them out! It is an ingenious layering system, which helps you layer multiple images at the same time. There are coverplate coordinating dies for these stamp sets, which cut the whole panel of stamped images in a single pass through your die cutting machine!

Let’s take a look at my cards!

The first one is made using Peony Memories Cardmaking set and Spring Layered Alphas set.

TT050 2 1 WM

I stamped the pink peonies in Rose Quartz, Soft Garnet and Red Sangria hybrid ink, the yellow peonies in Vanilla Frosted Cupcake, Lemon Drop and Amber Citrine and the leaves in Crystal Garden Collection inks. After the stamping was done I cut them using the coordinating dies and set them all aside.

TT050 2 4 WM

To stamp the Spring Layered Alphas I picked Noir for the letters, Soft Garnet for the large flowers and Soft Garden and Hot Tourmaline for the leaves. The small flowers were heat embossed in Rose Gold. I cut all the letters using the coverplate die.

To create the background I white heat embossed the starry confetti from the Confetti Borders stamp set on both sides of an A2 sized white panel and ink blended it in Lemon Drop, Soft Garnet, Soft Garden and Cali Blue.

TT050 2 2 WM

I then started assembling my card. I mounted the background panel flat on a pink cardbase and arranged the floral clusters. I adhered the leaves flat on the background and raised the flowers using some foam tape. The letters were added with foam adhesives. The small sentiment is from Layered Floral Alpha stamp set. I white heat embossed it on a strip of yellow cardstock and added it to the card. To finish off I scattered some Glass Slippers Round Confetti sequins.

Tt050 2 3 WM

The second card is showcasing Rose of Sharon and theFloral Bits 1 & 2 stamp sets.

TT050 1 WM

I stamped the Rose of Sharon and the flower of the Floral Bits 2 in Ballet Slippers, Hollywood Star, Cosmopolitan Pink, Grand Fuchsia and Spiced Chai. For the Floral Bits 1 I used Vanilla Frosted Cupcake, Lemon Drop, Amber Citrine and Coralline Hybrid ink. For the leaves I used Soft Garden, Bright Fern and Everglade Moss.

TT050 4 WM

I cut the flowers using the coordinating die, arranged them on a piece of A2 sized paper, secured the arrangement with a piece of Press’n Seal wrap and adhered foam tapes on the back of the floral arrangement.

TT050 2 WM

I ink blended Ballet Slippers, Hollywood Star and Cosmopolitan Pink on the front of a white cardbase making the perimeter darker than the center and added white splatters. I stamped the sentiment from Rose of Sharon set in Noir and transferred the floral arrangement onto the cardbase. I cut off the excessive area of the floral arrangement and added a few clear Dew drops to finish off the card.

TT050 WM

Using the grouped layering stamp sets and coordinating dies you can stamp and cut the floral elements and sentiments only with several steps. I really love to have the finished florals in my stash for my next projects!

Hope you enjoyed looking my cards today!

Wishing you a crafty day!

Hugs,

TaeEun

White heat embossed on colored cardstock.

Project by Effie. For this card, I white heat embossed the Autumn Sweater Background onto light coral cardstock and trimmed it about an eighth of an inch on each side. I set that aside and stamped the squirrel and leaf stamps (from our Oak Leaf Print set – below). For these smaller stamps, I used our Spiced Chai, Lipstick red and Found Topaz inks. Next I cut these images out and arranged them onto a circle die cut. I popped it up along with the sentiment onto my white embossed background and finalized my card with Gold Medallion Sequins.

Oak Leaf Print, 4×6 Photopolymer Set

Next up in our seasonal lineup is our Oak Leaf Print! This is the fall version of our Folk Art Christmas Tree stamp. I wanted to create a whimsical fall themed stamp based on this folk art theme.

Stamped using a combination of our inks: Amber Citrine, Peach Blossom, Coral Cavern, Spiced Chai

Thanksgiving Block, 4×6 Photopolymer Set

This is the Thanksgiving version of our Vintage Christmas Block! It will be easy to mass produce your Thanksgiving card this year with our new block print design stamp.

I stamped this new fall themed block design using our Cocoa Collection inks and Peach Blossom, Coralline Hybrid and Coral Cavern inks. I also used the butterflies from our Sunny Folk Garden to embellish the cards.

I created an ombre effect using our Peach Blossom, Coralline and Coral Cavern inks. I used my Misti to stamp each color layer and obtain this perfect ombre result.

For today, I have two cards!

Photo taken against our White Paint Backdrop Board

For my first card, I used our Coming Up Peonies and did a little bit of watercoloring with Ken Oliver Color Bursts.

I started off by white heat embossing this beautiful large peony cluster image from our Coming Up Peonies onto watercolor paper. Once embossed, I did a little bit of loose, wet in wet watercoloring. I started off by applying clean water to the largest peony petals.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

Then I dropped in bits of Peony Color Bursts and then some Marigold Color Bursts for a two toned look. I used the same pigments for the peony buds. Once the warm colors were down, I used Lime Color Bursts for the stems and leaves. I made sure to watercolor a little bit outside the embossed lines to give it a more artsy effect.

Once I finished painting, I trimmed my panel into a size that’s slightly smaller than A2. Next I stamped the Good Luck sentiment with Caviar Hybrid ink and then added some Clear Rhinestones to finish my card.

I love the amount of white space of the panel against the bright color bursts!

For my next project, I used our Special Day Lanterns.

This is more of a multi step stamp set and the results are really pretty! In the end, you have a multi toned chic lantern with floral elements and a candle.

I started off stamping the lantern frames. The frames should be stamped in three parts. Once the frames were stamped in our Found Topaz and Aspen Cocoa inks, I stamped the leaves of the florals cluster in Bright Emerald and Ocean Teal Dye Ink. Then there are two 2-step floral clusters consisting of four stamps in total. For the larger cluster, I used a combination of Soft Garnet and Red Sangria. For the smaller cluster, I used Amber Citrine and Coralline inks.

Once the frame of my lantern and floral clusters were stamped, I went ahead and stamped the candle. I used our Crystal Pewter first. Then I used the rock and roll technique to partially ink up the right side of the same candle stamp. I then stamped the candle again giving the image a bit of shading. Then I stamped the flame in Amber Citrine and the two step rope stamps in Warm Hazelnut and Found Topaz inks.

Couture Color Inks

I used the same inks for the two smaller lanterns in my card.

Once my lanterns were complete, I stamped my sentiment with our Aspen Cocoa Ink and finished my card by adding some Bermuda Blue sequins.

Photo taken against our White Marble Backdrop Board

For my project today, I used our beautiful Smiling Cosmos set. This is our new 4×6 floral cluster stamp. The actual stamp is large! It almost covers an entire 4×6 panel.

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

I started off by heat embossing the floral image onto watercolor paper with our Rose Gold Embossing Powder. Then I did some loose watercoloring with Ken Oliver Color Bursts. For my cosmos petals, I added three different colors: Cerulean Blue, Indigo and Orchid. I love the three toned look to the petals once the paint finally dried.

Once the petals were painted, I painted the leaves with Olive Green color bursts. There are other smaller foliage and sprig elements in the cluster which I painted with Turquoise color bursts. The painting process went very quickly for this card since the design is more stylized.

Once my panel was dried, I die cut the watercolor panel into a stitched A2 panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Large Die Collection. I stamped (Caviar Hybrid Ink) my sentiment from the same set, trimmed it out and then popped it up onto my panel. Next, I mounted the painted panel onto a top folding A2 base and added some Gold Medallion sequins to embellish my card.

That’s all from me today! Your next stop on this hop is our super talented DT member Tae Eun!

Now that you’ve seen the fabulous lineup, let’s move on to my projects for today!

Photo taken against our White Paint Backdrop Board

For my first pair of projects, I used our GWP Promotion stamp: Gifted. This set features three different gift box clusters (in addition to individual gift boxes). I really love this set for it’s ability to customize the different tones for each of the different gift boxes in the clusters since they are spaced out. You can just ink up different portions of each stamp creating a multi toned stamped image.

**We’re also issuing DOUBLE REWARDS POINTS for all purchases made from January 4 to January 7, 2019 at 7pm EST. 

For my first card, I stamped my gift cluster using a variety of our Couture Color Inks (Hot Tourmaline, Bright Emerald, Cosmopolitan Pink, Azurite, Cali Blue and Hollywood Star).

Once stamped, I fussy cut my stamped image (dies are available). Next, I rose gold heat embossed our Delicate Grid background stamp onto white cardstock. Then I created a border using the two largest dies of our Double Stitched Rectangles (large) die collection. Then I assembled my card by mounting the border onto the rose gold embossed background. I additionally popped up my gift cluster.

For my sentiment, I used our Hugs word die (die cut from black cardstock). I adhered this directly onto my background. The Happy Birthday portion of the sentiment is from our Basic Banners (white heat embossed onto black cardstock and popped up). Lastly, I embellished my project using our Gold Medallion Sequins.

For my second card, the process was almost identical with a different background stamp. First, I stamped our Bare Tones background in Cali Blue ink. Then I die cut a white stitched panel using the second die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Large Die Collection. Then I assembled the background panel, white stitched panel and Gifted stamped cluster image together. I added our Gold Medallion sequins to complete my card.

For my next pair of cards, I used our layered Power Pumps set which I am currently obsessed with!

Photo taken against our White Paint Backdrop Board

My first card was very simple (left)! I stamped the three step layered heels stamps in our Caviar Hybrid Ink, Smoky Quartz (highlight) and Red Sangria Hybrid). The sentiment was also stamped in our Caviar. Lastly, I trimmed my panel which I popped up onto a side folding A2 base.

The second card was created in a similar fashion. I just changed up my ink colors (Azurite, Cobalt Breeze and Vanilla Frosted Cupcake) and added more panels to layer my mats for more contrast. I also added the jeweled element to my shoes (stamped in our Caviar Hybrid Ink and Crystal Pewter).

Our surprise for today is our new Snowflake Layering Coverplate dies!

Snowflake Layering Coverplate Dies (A and B), 4.25 x 5.5in Coverplate Dies

This is our newest layering die collection which features an A and B plate. When combined, the result is a fun and whimsical design perfect for winter themed cards.

Photo taken against our White Sheepskin Backdrop Board

In this photo, I layered both A and B coverplate die cuts. The color combinations for these dies are truly endless.  Just add a sentiment for a quick holiday card. Also, break out all of your colored cardstock for this die bundle!

snowflake cvp3

For this next photo, I used the A plate die cut only and adhered it over white cardstock. Then I took the design a step further by using some of the snowflake die cuts that are produced with each pass and layered some  of elements over each other for a more intricate and fun layered snowflake effect.

snowflake die cuts

The beautiful thing about our Snowflake Coverplate bundle is that there’s more to the bundle than just layering the cover die cuts. You can take all of the negative snowflake die cuts and layer the elements together to make your own layered snowflake embellishments. This is a great way to stretch these dies! Also, layering the snowflakes and coming up with different color combinations is really fun and addicting! You can also try adding some Blizzard Hugs die cuts to your layered snowflakes for an additional design element!

snowflake merry.jpg

For this card, I simply layered both coverplate die cuts (I cut A from mint cardstock and B from white cardstock). Prior to mounting the layered die cuts onto a base, I adhered some of our Silver Ribbed Glitter Adhesive paper as a background. For the sentiment, I silver glitter heat embossed the large sentiment from our Brushed Merry stamp set. Then I die cut the sentiment three times and layered them together to create an embellishment type sentiment. Lastly, I stamped the christmas sentiment in our Noir Dye Ink onto a sentiment strip and popped up across the merry. This was a very simple card to make – little effort but high impact!

Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

snowflake cvp2

For this card, I started off by layering some of my leftover snowflake die cuts from the A+ B coverplates. I also added a Blizzard Hugs snowflake die cut behind my layered snowflake for an added embellishment. Once my snowflake was assembled, I adhered it onto a round die cut and set it aside. Next I blended some Bright Emerald and Hot Tourmaline onto the bottom portion of an A2 panel. I blended the color towards the top of the panel for a minty ombre effect. Next, I die cut the panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Small Die Collection.  Then I used the A Plate in our Snowflake Layering Cover Dies and used that as a stencil to apply embossing paste onto my blended panel. This was matted onto a piece of black carstock which was then adhered onto a cardbase. For my sentiment, I gold glitter heat embossed the large Brushed Hugs and die cut it three times to create my sentiment embellishment. Next I adhered the sentiment onto my card and added the blizzard sentiment which was stamped in our Noir Dye Ink.

cardinal poinsettias

For my next card, I white heat embossed our new Coming Up Poinsettias onto watercolor paper and then used Color Bursts (Alizarin Crimson + Lime Green) to color in the outline images. After I painted the poinsettias, I heat embossed more foliage using the foliage cluster image from our Cardinal Friends. Once my background was complete, I die cut the panel into an A2 sized stitched panel and set it aside. Next I stamped this adorable cardinal and foliage cluster images onto cardstock with our Caviar Hybrid copic friendly ink. After I colored the images with copics, I die cut them and popped them up on my watercolored panel.

wonderland print shaker

For my next card, I stamped the clusters in our Wonderland Print set (Bright Emerald Ink, Orchid Crush Ink and Rose Gold Embossing). Then I die cut the panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Small die collection. I also die cut the inner negative space of my stamped border using the coordinating die. I set my stamped window panel aside to blend some Bright Emerald and Hot Tourmaline dye ink onto my card base. I wanted an minty ombre effect to show behind my shaker window.  Next I created my shaker window using acetate and dimensional foam tape. Before I filled my shaker window, I stamped this large sentiment using our Noir Dye ink. Then I filled the window with some 3mm Glass Slippers sequins and beads (Diamond, Flurries and White Satin Beads). Lastly, I mounted the window panel over the base to complete my shaker card.

For my final card, I created a simple stamped project using our Blizzard Hugs set. I tamped the mid sized and smallest snowflake burst stamp a few of times onto an A2 panel in our Cali Blue Dye Ink. Next I stamped the smaller solid snowflakes in our Blue Diamond and Azurite inks. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment (Noir Dye Ink) to finish this simple card.

Let’s check out my projects for today!

For my first pair of projects, I used our new Pop-Up Peony designs. I made front panels that would not take away from the floral inside.

For the project on the left side in the photo, I used our Petal Cut Peony dies, Modern Labels and Geo Mountain Coverplate A design. I added additional Petal Cut Peony die cuts for the inner floral sections with my pink Pop-Up Peony for an all over cohesive design.

For the project on the right side, I used our 2 Piece Foliage Coverplate Die for the front panel which I die cut from our Matte Gold Adhesive Paper. I also used our Modern Labels for a clean and simple sentiment. The gold panel will be used for the front of my red Pop-Up Peony card. *For purposes of this photo, I did not attach the front facing panels onto my card bases*

For my next project, I watercolored our Dahlia Bouquet set. This is our newest 6×6 clear set and the bouquet image is larger than life!

Be sure to follow us on YouTube for more inspiration! I update our channel on a weekly basis!

I started off by white heat embossing the image onto watercolor paper. Then I painted the dahlias using my Ken Oliver Color Bursts in Peony, Fuchsia and Sap Green. Next I colored in my vase using my gold wink of stella marker. I also painted a shadow at the base of my vase to ground my bouquet onto my panel.

Once I finished painting the panel, I die cut the panel into an A2 sized panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles Large Die set. This die also added stitching to the edges for some texture and interest.

Next, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock and then popped up the sentiments right over my dahlia bouquet. Lastly, I added Clear Rhinestones to my project to give it a bit of bling!

GIVEAWAYS

Three new release stamps will be given away to random commenters from the hop participant blogs. To qualify, you must leave a comment on each blog on this hop. The comment period will close on Friday, April 6 at 5pm. Winners will be announced on our blog shortly after the comment period closes.

Your next stop is Taheerah!

  2. Svitlana Shayevich 
  3. Taheerah Atchia
  4. Olga Matyushevskaya

For my first two projects, I used our GWP (Gift with Purchase) Daisy Duet set. I cannot stress how much I love coloring this stamp. The size of the blooms are really wonderful. So for today’s projects featuring this large image, I went with a cool and warm color palette to showcase how amazing this floral stamp is.

For my first card, I did some masking (created with the coordinating die) and then rose gold embossed an entire panel using the large Daisy Duet image onto watercolor paper (Canson XL 140LB). I created my own background that is ready for watercoloring. I used my Color Bursts for this card (Lemon Yellow, Marigold, Sap Green and Terre Vert).

I started off by painting a base layer of Lemon Yellow onto my daisies. Then I added a second layer of color using my Marigold CBs but I went back in and added a more concentrated amount of Marigold to the inner petals. Next, I finished my painting by watercoloring my leaves – first layer of Sap Green, then Terre Vert. Next I took the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles (Small) set and die cut my panel and then adhered it to a side folding A2 base using strong double sided adhesive sheets.

Next I die cut my thank you sentiment from our Bold General Greetings Word Plate Die set. Using the negative space as a guide, I popped up my sentiment onto my card using pop up squares. Next, I added a white heat embossed sentiment strip (Peony Notes) to my card. Lastly, I embellished my card using our Clear Rhinestones.

For my next card, I masked and rose gold embossed my Daisy Duet the same way as my first card.

However, I didn’t emboss the entire panel. I left about a third of the panel unembossed for my sentiment. I used my Shinhan watercolors for this card. Next I painted my daisies using a combination of blues and purple (Cerulean Blue, Ultramarine Deep and Permanent Violet). For my leaves, I used a combination of Gray and Neutral Tint.

Once my florals were painted, I added shading to the areas surrounding my clusters using my Indigo paint. Once my panel was dried, I rose gold embossed the thanks sentiment (Peony Notes) and added stitching to the edges of my panel using the largest die from our Double Stitched Rectangles (large) set. Lastly, I added our Clear Rhinestones to further embellish my card.

I hope you all liked my cards! Thank you so much for joining us these last couple of weeks to celebrate this milestone with us. As we go into our fourth year, I will continue to strive to bring you all fabulous, quality designs and products.
