Solid & Outline Offset Stamping with Kristina Werner

Hi all! Kristina Werner here! Today I have a fun one-layer card for you! I love one-layer cards since they’re so easy to slide into an envelope and send in the mail. :)
Today’s card is all about stamping, specifically layered stamping with both solid and outline images. The new Blooming Meadow stamp set it perfect for this technique.

I first stamped the solid images from the stamp set in four inks from Simon: Doll Pink, Sunshine, Hot Mama, and High Dive. After the stamping was completely dry, I then stamped the coordinating outlined images in VersaMark ink.
White heat embossing powder was then applied and melted with a heat tool.
I love this look and it’s super easy and quick to create! Thanks for stopping by today!

Crafty with Caly: Tri-colored Narwhal Friends
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Please join me in welcoming back special bi-monthly guest, Caly Person! Be sure to watch the video for all the details of this cute card, and enjoy!

Hi, Friends!It’s Caly and I’m so excited to share my Narwhal Friends cards with you today! I love adorable critters and this narwhal set from Cathy Zielske is a must have for me.

I created a similar card for the release in a mini slimline size. Today, I want to share another version that I know you can recreate! Be sure to check out my video to see how it is created!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I first created my background by ink-blending using the Mermaid Scales Stencil using Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, and Seedless Preserves. To give it lots of glitz, I used Gina K Designs Iridescent Glitz Glitter Gel.

While my background sits to dry, I stamped and colored my images with Copic markers.
- Pinks: R00, RV10, R81, R85
- Blues: BG000, BG02
- Purples: BV0000, BV00
- Yellows: Y11, YR23, E31

I really enjoyed putting this card together with these pastel colors! I hope you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly
