Reflection Stamping Technique - Traveler Stamp Set

Hi everyone!

Here is a lovely card which is made using the reflection stamping technique. I have used the traveler stamp set and the endless birthday wishes stamp set which are both on the stampin up retirement list and won't be available for much longer.

Step 1: use the thick whisper white cardstock and the stampin trimmer to make a card base.

Step 2: use black cardstock and the stampin trimmer to cut a rectangle slightly smaller than the card.

Step 3: use whisper white cardstock and the stampin trimmer to cut a rectangle slightly smaller than the black rectangle.

Step 4: use the basic black ink and traveler stamp set to stamp the ship onto the white card. Now stamp the ship onto a window sheet. Place the window sheet upside down on the white card in the reflection position and press firmly on the surface. Lift window sheet to reveal the reflection.

Step 5: use an aqua painter and a small amount of soft sky ink to blend the ship.

Step 6: sponge soft sky ink and basic black ink around the edges of the white card.

Step 7: Assemble the card by firstly taping the black rectangle onto the card base and then taping on the ship.

Step 8: to prepare for the greeting, cut a small rectangle from the soft sky cardstock and a slightly larger rectangle out of the black cardstock.

Step 9: stamp a greeting on the soft sky rectangle using basic black ink and the endless birthday wishes stamp set.

Step 10: tape the greeting to the blushing bride rectangle and attach to the card with foam tape.

Gift tag using the stampin up owl builder punch

Hi everyone!

There are many stampin up products which have recently been put on the retirement list, prior to the new catalogue coming out in June. 2 of my favourite products are on this list: the owl builder punch and the endless birthday wishes stamp set. I am always using these products: the owl is great for bookmarks, gift tags and kids' birthday cards; and the endless birthday wishes allows for many combinations for a birthday greeting. Here is a lovely gift tag which uses these products.

Step 1: cut out a tag 5cm x 10cm using whisper white cardstock and the stampin trimmer.

Step 2: use the tag topper punch to finish off the tag.

Step 3: use the endless birthday wishes stamp set to stamp a greeting such as 'happy birthday' or 'best wishes' on the bottom of the tag.

Step 4: punch out several owls with the festive birthday designer series paper (on sale for $15.40 on the retirement list). Arrange the owl pieces until you are happy with your colour combination.

Step 5: use a small amount of glue to assemble the owl on the tag.

Step 6: tape a strip of festive birthday designer paper series between the owl and the greeting.

Step 7: tie a bow with the whisper white ribbon and glue on the strip of paper.

Step 8: tie ribbon or twine onto the top of the tag as a nice finishing feature.

Christmas Card

Hi everyone!

Here is another idea for creating your own Christmas cards using stampin up products.

Firstly, to make this Christmas card, make a card base with whisper white thick cardstock. Use the paper trimmer to make a rectangle slightly smaller than the card with real red cardstock. Emboss the red rectangle with the brick embossing folder through the big shot.

Cut a window frame with whisper white cardstock using the hearth and home framelits. Also cut a Christmas tree using the perfect pines framelits and Christmas Designer paper series. Cut a rectangle to fit behind the window frame. I have used silver foil card stock but you can use other colours to match your theme.

Stamp a greeting from the oh, what fun stamp set on whisper white cardstock. Use the tags and labels framelits to cut out the greeting and make a slightly larger cutout using the Christmas Designer paper.

Assemble the card as per the photo using tear and tape adhesive tape. Finish the card by tying candy cane lane baker's twine around the card and making a bow.

Another great idea is the stampin up Stitched With Cheer Project Kit. It's an easy way to make lovely Christmas cards quickly and easily. This is also a great kit to get kids started on making cards. The kit coordinates with the Stitched With Cheer stamp set.

Please find a list of products used to make the Christmas card below.
