I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Stamp Review Crew blog hop featuring Ringed with Nature! As I wrote in my post, I will be highlighting each of my cards in separate blog posts so I can talk about them more.
As I share my first hop card, I offer two tips for this set:
- Use a firm foam pad under your card stock when stamping in order to get a solid image. I use a piece of cheap vinyl placement.
- My preference for two-step stamping is to stamp the darker image first. It makes it easy to see where the second image should be placed.
I love using the Stampin’ Up! Decorative Masks to create custom backgrounds. This one uses what I call the “double plaid” mask, enhanced with hand-drawn lines. Now when I say “hand-drawn,” I mean I added the lines to the plaid using a clear quilting ruler and a Stampin’ Blends marker.
This is the quilting ruler I have been using for over 18 years. It is always within reach as I stamp, helping keep elements on my projects straight and centered.
I colored this Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (a fave) by taping down the ends on my Grid Paper and applying Calypso Coral ink with a Blending Brush. For full instructions, click the Projects Sheets graphic below!
