Collage Technique - Endless Love and Gears & Textures Bundles - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Blog Hop. This is my favorite one---Blogger's Choice! Are you as excited as I am to see all of the projects? Be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post! 😊


Collage Heart For My Love



Have you ever tried the collage technique? It is a lot of fun mashing up images and even different stamping bundles to make a design that has so much to look at! I made this one for my hubby and sweetheart, Bob. I hope he likes it. 



Don't you love the steam punk feel of the mixed foils heart with the die elements from the GEARS & TEXTILES bundle? I think Bob will think it's "groovy," lol. The photo doesn't quite do it justice, especially since the EARTHEN TONED METALLIC specialty paper looks almost black even though it is a very pretty brown metallic. It looks really great with the GOLD and SILVER FOIL Specialty Papers. 



And of course it needed a great inside too. What do you think? 
















Watch this fun video from my Stamp With Joy Nelson YouTube channel to see how easy and fun it is to make a card with the collage technique! 



I hope you enjoyed my project. Please scroll down below to see the supplies used to make it!

    Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Slim Sayings Masculine Slimline Card

    We have a great blog hop for you this month. Our April Paper Crafting Blog Hop theme is masculine (often the most neglected type of product). However, you will see there are so many fun projects and design styles from this group of talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the globe. Be sure to stop at each of our blogs to see each one! You may have arrived from Annette's blog. Did you love her project?


    Slim Card Chevrons With a Masculine Twist

    This month's blog theme gave me the perfect opportunity to create a card for my sweet and helpful husband. With our anniversary coming up, I decided to create a card that would show him how much I appreciate him. I decided to use the SLIM SAYINGS bundle with the chevron die in the SLIM CARD dies included in this bundle. And since he is a big nature lover, I brought in my PEACEFUL DEER stamp set which has some great pine trees. (You can use those Christmas themed stamp sets for more than just Christmas)! 

    For my focal image: 

    • I created a ink blended background. First I taped off a masked border (be sure to use low tack tape or masking paper) on the Basic White cardstock and then used Pool Party ink and Blending Brush---concentrating more ink around the edges than the middle. 
    • I stamped my sentiment onto the blended background with Tuxedo Black Momento ink. 
    • For the pine trees I took 2 of the pine tree stamps and placed them next to each other on the clear block to stamp them together (one of the great benefits of photopolymer stamps). TIP: Stamp solid images using the Stampin' Pierce Mat to get the best stamped image results. 
    • Then I fussy cut the Evening Evergreen stamped pine trees using my Paper Snips Scissors. 
    • Lastly, I added some of the Classic Matte Dots in the Basic White color for a little extra embellishment. 

    I am really enjoying the fun background that the SLIM CARD dies creates. I will be very sad when it retires with the Jan-June 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. So if you like this look too, be sure to order it right away!


    Here's some more samples using these great SLIM CARD dies. And they are so easy to put together when you use the Adhesive Sheets! I always cut the die in at least 2 different cardstock colors and then make 2 different cards with the pieces. (Look closely and you will notice that my sample for this Paper Crafting Blog Hop uses pieces left over from my "Hello" card shown below. I just changed the card base color from Basic White to Evening Evergreen for a very different look).





    Want to see how to easy it is to piece together the elements from the SLIM CARD die cuts? Watch my YouTube video that was done "live" for the latest Global SU Share Fair Facebook group!
