Hello it’s Debby here today with a new feature for 2017; Doodling With Debby! Over the last few years I’ve had a Creative Uses feature each month on the Simon Says Stamp blog where I stretched my supplies. I’m delighted that in 2017 I’ll still be popping in here every month, this time with the new Doodling With Debby feature. Each month may vary as to the focus of the blog post; it may be looking at products from a new Simon Says Stamp release, looking back at a previously released product or highlighting a technique. I’m so excited to continue my monthly video series with Simon.

So lets jump straight in with this layered Valentine’s die cuts card using several products from the new Hey Love release. As soon as I saw the Emma Background stamp I knew I wanted to white heat emboss it off the edge of a panel … so I did LOL! I chose one of my favorite color palettes – Simon Says Stamp Rosie Cheeks and Melon inks and blended them over the heat embossing before splattering the panel with a solution of Perfect Pearls.

Moving on to the die cuts and I cut the Love, Clipping Heart and a Nested Heart from white card. However, although I loved all the white on white I did feel the Love die cut got a little lost so I cut it again from a scrap of card blended with the Melon and Rosie Cheeks inks again. This time the Love word popped nicely off the other die cuts.

I also stamped the heart from Love & Quotes in Teeny Bikini ink and die cut it with a Nested Heart. Lastly on the die cutting, I cut the ink blended Emma Background panel with a Stitched Rectangle. With everything now ready I layered the die cuts on top of one another, using foam adhesive for the hearts and Ranger Multi Medium Matte for the more delicate Love and Clipping Heart die cuts. I also adhered the ink blended Love die cut over the white one I cut originally to give more dimension. Finally I added a few sequins to finish and mounted the panel on a side folding white A2 card base.

  1. Color sure can set the tone of a card eh? Lovely card and sentiment. The white embossing is a very stunning effect.

  2. Yay for the new series! I loved Creative Uses feature and so excited about the new one.
    The card is exceptional beauty!! Love the color choice. Naturally I tend to make darker cards using cool colors. But want to learn how to work with cool RS like this.
    TFS!

  3. Beautiful card. I love the technique of white embossing and ink blending. And this big, gorgeous stamp lends itself perfectly to this technique.

  4. Wow, Debby, I LOVE this card! The Emma stamp is gorgeous! And as usual, your coloring is spectacular. So glad you have this new series of videos.

  5. Heat embossing and ink blending is always beautiful – especially with a gorgeous stamp like Emma. Look forward to Debby’s features. Always something to learn.

  6. Absolutely stunning! Not sure which speaks to me first – the great line art/doodle style stamp or the fantastic color you used (that catches my attention anywhere!) – either way, this card is a perfect hit with me!

  7. Yeah, Debby! You are so talented and I’m glad this will be a regular feature! The card is beautiful, by design and color, and it’s fun watching your creative process. I’m inspired to create something using these ideas, though I have none of these supplies, YET! Thanks and looking forward to the next edition of Doodling With Debby! :)

  8. Love a pretty card, looks so delicate, I don’t know why, maybe because it’s so pale and pretty? I love it!! And I love the color combination you used for the blending, it turned it out beautifully! I’m so happy you are going to have a regular feature since I always love seeing what you do!! Congrats! Thanks for sharing
