Reinkers on Glossy Paper Technique

May 04, 2018

Time to go grab your Glossy cardstock and some reinkers and have fun!

Be sure to grab your Adhesive Sheets, too, because you are going to need those!

Reinker on glossy cardstock technique die cut embellishments from Sunshine Wishes, Support Ribbon and Happy Birthday thinlit dies by Stampin' UP!

 To create these really pretty multicolor die cut images, you'll need to add reinker drops to your glossy paper, spritz it with water, let dry and then add the adhesive sheet before you die cut the images.

I've created a photo tutorial for you below with those steps, and I also added the Wink of Stella step.. it's fun to amp up the glossy factor with some Wink of Stella sparkle!

 

Step by Step, how to create Reinker on glossy cardstock technique then die cut embellishments from Sunshine Wishes, Support Ribbon and Happy Birthday thinlit dies by Stampin' UP!

 

Like I said above, the key to this is having the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets (here) stuck to the back of the colored glossy paper before you die cut... then you are creating super easy to use "stickers"!!!

Shimmery White Embossing Paste Snow

April 14, 2018

 Have you tried out the Stampin' Up! Shimmery White embossing paste yet?  I found that it makes beautiful SNOW!

Mountain and Tree scene card created by stamping the Waterfront stamp set and adding Shimmery White embossing paste for "snow"! by Patty Bennett

 

Yes, I know some of you may be "over" the snow this winter.. but just wanted to pass along this tip for this gorgeous technique or creating snow for your handstamped cards!!!

I stamped the Narrow White Note Card with the Waterfront stamp set from Stampin' UP!, added a piece of torn Whisper White cardstock to the bottom 1/4 of the card, then applied the Shimmery White Embossing paste to the trees and "torn snow" layer with an old toothbrush!

 

Mountain and Tree scene card created by stamping the Stampin' UP! Waterfront stamp set and adding Shimmery White embossing paste for "snow" with a toothbrush! by Patty Bennett

In addition to dabbing the shimmery paste onto the trees, I "brushed" it back and forth on the torn white cardstock that looks like snow at the bottom of this card!

Sponge some Pool Party ink at the top of the card for the sky, and stamp the trees in Tranquil Tide and the hills in Soft Suede ink.

Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts Flower Wagon Card Idea

March 09, 2018

 I love this cute flower cart stamp image in the Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set!  I stamped it with Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored it with a combination of Stampin' Blends markers and a couple of regular Stampin' Write markers, since I also wanted Real Red and Lemon Lime Twist and they are not available in Stampin' Blends.  (HOPING to see them in the next catalog.. wouldn't that be awesome to have MORE colors!!!)  :)

 

Flower Cart Card created with Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set and Stampin' Blends from Stampin' UP!, by Patty Bennett. Embossing Paste background and White ribbon colored with Stampin' Blends.

This totally adorable, springy stamp set called Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts is on page 34 of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog, or HERE online for Clear Mount and HERE online for Wood Mount.  I also added the stamped bunny and greeting from the stamp set called "A Good Day", found on pg 17 in the Occasions catalog (see all products used to create this card at the bottom of this  blog post - click any product photo to shop in my online store).

 

Flower Cart Card created with Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set and Stampin' Blends from Stampin' UP!, by Patty Bennett. Embossing Paste background and White ribbon colored with Stampin' Blends.

As I was finishing up this card, I was trying to decide which ribbon I wanted to use.. the WOW, it hit me.. color some of the white metallic edge ribbon with the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker!! What a great match!

Flower Cart Card created with Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts stamp set and Stampin' Blends from Stampin' UP!, by Patty Bennett. Embossing Paste background and White ribbon colored with Stampin' Blends.

Above:  notice how the awning on the flower cart is raised?  I stamped the flower cart twice, then colored and cut out the awning and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals over the stamped image on the card.  I also cut out some of the extra flowers and leaves and added them to the card as well.  I colored with a Blender Pen and Lemon Lime Twist ink in between the flowers/leaves so that it wouldn't just be stark white.  The last little sweet addition to the card was to put a pearl in the center of each flower :) :)

The greeting from "A Good Day" stamp set is stamped in Bermuda Bay ink and punched out with the "Classic Label" punch. The Mini Stampin' Dimensionals are the perfect size for raising this punched image!

Hearts Come Home bundle from Stampin' Up!

October 05, 2017

 

I am super excited to share this gorgeous Christmas / Holiday card idea with you today, featuring the Stampin' Up! Hearts Come Home bundle (Hometown Greetings Framelits - pg 39 of the 2017 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog) and Swirly Snowflake thinlits, pg 35.  I have some fun tips for you including how to make embossing paste "snow" and an idea for making the windows look like stained glass!

 

  Stampin' UP! Hearts Come Home / Hometown Greetings Christmas card idea featuring embossing paste and "stained glass windows" effect. Supplies available in the 2017 Holiday catalog, click shop online at www.pattystamps.com

 

I created this card one day when stamping with Cindee, and I know we saw the basic idea somewhere and I can't remember who originated this card idea.. but we did add a few twists of our own like the large snowflakes in the sky, the colors behind the houses, and the "stained glass" in the church.  We die cut the buildings using the Hearts Come Home framelit dies and Whisper White paper, then added "embossing past snow".  Read on for all the tips and details.

 

Sponging tip for Stampin' UP! Hearts Come Home / Hometown Greetings Christmas card idea featuring embossing paste and "stained glass windows" effect. Supplies available in the 2017 Holiday catalog, click shop online at www.pattystamps.com

 

Tip #1:  Sponge the Dapper Denim card base with more Dapper Denim ink to give it some night sky drama!

Tip #2:  Die cut the Swirly Snowflake thinlits and then cut the snowflakes apart and place them on the card for high contrast in the deep blue night sky.

Tip #3:  to create beautiful textured, glittery snow, sponge light blue ink on your cardstock first (we used Pool Party) then mix a little Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the Embossing paste, then trowel it on with the Palette knife!!  So pretty!

Tip #4:  I wanted the church to look like it had stained glass windows, so, I searched for a small colorful patterned paper and discovered that the small leaf pattern in the Painted Autumn package was perfect!!  Then, we needed to have colored windows in all the houses, so we cut up little scraps of cardstock as shown below and glued them behind each house!! I love it!  REMINDER!!  Buy 3 - Get 1 FREE offer is valid all month (Oct. 2017) so you can take advantage of this special offer when ordering your Painted Autumn paper!

Embossing Paste Fall Leaf Cards

September 28, 2017

 

As we are officially heading into Fall now, I thought I'd share these Seasonal Layers fall leaf cards that I made many months ago, but saved for the fall.  These cards feature Stampin' Up! embossing paste colored with reinkers, and die cut with the Seasonal Layers leaf thinlit dies on my Big Shot.

 

Seasonal Layers fall leaf cards featuring Stampin' UP! embossing paste and brick wall mask from the Pattern Party mask set. by Patty Bennett

 

I die cut my own mask with a Window Sheet, Seasonal Layers leaves and the Big Shot.

I used that mask to create beautiful embossing paste leaves in fall colors!

 

Make your own leaf stencil with a window sheet and Seasonal Layers leaf thinlits, then use with Stampin' UP! embossing paste.

Watch my Embossing Paste video HERE!

 

Make your own leaf mask for embossing paste with Stampin' Up! Seasonal Layers thinlits.

 

The colors of Stampin' UP! reinkers I used with the embossing paste are:  Tangerine Tango, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.
 

The Brick Backgrounds were created with embossing paste and the Pattern Party Decorative masks.

After I created the leaves on the pieces of Color Theory paper, I decided to die cut them and use some of them on these cards.

The Crisp and Cool circle was punched out of one of the Color Theory Memories & More cards, found on page 193 in the Stampin' Up! catalog.  I used the Starburst punch, then added some 1/4" copper trim behind it.

Painted Harvest Sunflower Gift Bag & Tranquil Tide card

August 28, 2017

 

Did you watch my Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog video review featuring the Painted Autumn suite? 

If you missed it, you can see it HERE.  I featured the beautiful gold striped gift bag and the Tranquil Tide card below in my video, and I'd like to share the details with you here!

 

DIY Gift Bag Idea featuring Stampin' UP! Gold Striped Gift Bag decorated with 2017 Holiday Catalog Painted Harvest Suite paper and Painted Autumn sunflower stamp, by Patty Bennett

 

The lovely gold striped gift bags are found in the annual catalog on page 195, and I've decorated it with the Painted Autumn designer paper, and a stamped sunflower from the Painted Harvest stamp set.  I love all the warm fall colors and the glitz of the gold foil doily and mini gold sequin trim!

 

DIY Gift Bag Idea featuring Stampin' UP! Gold Striped Gift Bag decorated with 2017 Holiday Catalog Painted Harvest Suite paper and Painted Autumn sunflower stamp, by Patty Bennett

 

I stamped the sunflower on a die cut Stitched Circle framelit and mounted it onto the Gold Foil Doily.  I stamped and punched leaves from the Painted Harvest bundle in Lemon Lime Twist and Cucumber Crush and tucked them in behind the flower for added color and interest.

The flags are 1-1/2" wide pieces of Painted Autumn paper punched with the Banner Triple Punch.

Thankful card featuring Stampin' UP! Embossing Paste and Painted Autumn paper. Stamped and punched leaves from the Painted Harvest stamp set, by Patty Bennett

 

Above & Below: As I continue to show you the versatility of the Painted Autumn paper, I wanted to highlight yet another pattern in the package.  This pattern features blues and greens, so I went with Lemon Lime Twist embossing paste in the background, and Tranquil Tide ribbon, as well as Tranquil Tide and Pear Pizzazz stamped leaves! 

I think my mom would have liked this card.. she was a lover of blues and greens.

Did you notice the new punch tucked in there behind the leaves with the stamped greeting?  It's a new punch in the 2017 Stampin' UP! holiday catalog, called "Everyday Label Punch", it's on page 12.

Crisp and Clean Blue, Silver & White Medallion card

August 25, 2017

 

Did you know... if you flip the Eastern Gold Vinyl stickers over, they are silver!? That's how I created this medallion card with the Stampin' UP! embossing paste and the beautiful silver "flower" vinyl stickers.

 

Medallion card - blue white & silver - created with Stampin' Up! embossing paste, and Eastern Gold Vinyl stickers, by Patty Bennett

 

I loved adding as many blue, white and silver Stampin' Up! elements as I could on this card:

  • Base Card: Thick Whisper White
  • Front panel: Night of Navy cardstock with white Embossing Paste /Medallion image from Pattern Party decorative masks
  • Silver "flower" vinyl stickers with Clear faceted gems
  • White and silver ribbon
  • Silver mini sequin trim
  • Silver foil paper decorative ribbon punch trim

 

 

Medallion card - blue white & silver - created with Stampin' Up! embossing paste, and Eastern Gold Vinyl stickers, by Patty Bennett

 

To die cut the gold vinyl sticker and use the silver side, I just used the Eastern Medallions thinlits, and cut the stickers right on the sheet they came on, then flipped them over to the silver side!! How easy!  I added them to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I also added a gorgeous Clear Faceted Gem to the center of each flower.

The background was created with white Stampin' Up! embossing paste and the Pattern Party medallion mask.  Watch the video below in this blog post if you don't know how to use the embossing paste and masks yet.

Beautiful Bouquet Touches of Nature cards

August 04, 2017

 I am determined to use my Stampin' Up! accessories and embellishments this year (see this post), and so I am keeping little dishes and containers of embellishments like the one below on my stamping desk so that I use them!!  I LOVED adding the Touches of Nature wood embellishments to these 2 "Beautiful Bouquet" stamped cards!

 

Beautful Bouquet stamp set card featuring Stampin Up touches of nature wood elements and embossing paste by Patty Bennett at www.pattystamps.com

 

 These cards were so easy to create! Both are "top fold" cards created with Thick Whisper White cardstock cut at 4-1/4" x 11' and folded in 1/2.  Each one had a piece of cardstock that is 4" x 5-1/4" and decorated with embossing paste and the Pattern Party masks (SEE THIS POST and VIDEO), and then a 2"x4-1/4" piece of Delightful Daisy designer paper was adhered on top with Fast Fuse.  I tied them both up with the wonderful Crushyed Curry 3/8" Mini Chevron ribbon.

 

Beautful Bouquet stamp set card featuring Stampin Up touches of nature wood elements and embossing paste by Patty Bennett at www.pattystamps.com

 

The focal points on my cards are an oval Stitched Shape framlit (die cut in the Big Shot) and matted with a Scalloped Oval  die cut in Old Olive. 

They are stamped with the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive.  The thanks a bunch sentiment also comes from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.  If you are looking for a GREAT all occasion set with greeting, this is definitely your best bet!!

 

Beautful Bouquet flower stamp set card featuring Stampin Up touches of nature wood elements and embossing paste by Patty Bennett at www.pattystamps.com

The final touches:

1.  add centers to the flowers:  I colored Perfect White Accents with a black sharpie marker and added them to the centers of the yellow flowers

2.  I used the Touches of Nature wood embellishments - both the white side and the wood side, on my cards. I added them with some Multipurpose glue, and while they dried, I just grabbed a "chip clip" and clamped them down so they'd stick!! LOL

And for something really fun, mix Gold Glitter into your Stampin' Up! embossing paste and add Crushed Curry reinker for some snazzy gold bricks!!!  SEE THIS POST for more info about that fun technique!

(read on in this post for the secret using Embossing Paste!) and #2, how did you get 3 colors on your Peace on Earth stamp!?  For that trick, we inked the top 1/2 of the stamp on a Dapper Denim pad, then the bottom 1/2 on a Tranquil Tide pad, and then used a black Stampin' Write marker to go over the center... then stamped on Whisper White die cut with a Stitched Shape framelit.

This is what the stamp set and framelit die bundle looks like... order #146036 for wood mount and #146037 for clear mount rubber here in my online Stampin' UP! store.

Now, on to the secret of the snowy, glittery hillside and trees!  Spread Embossing Paste onto cardstock with your palette knife, making it somewhat uneven to resemble a snowy blown wintery hillside, then sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter while the paste is still wet!!!! (yes!! I actually used glitter!!!)

Basket of Sunflower Note Card Set

July 16, 2017

 

I'm wondering if you would have guessed that these sweet sunflower baskets were stamped with images from the Stampin' Up! Bike Ride stamp set!? 

Sunflower Basket ovals on cards and gold striped treat bags. Stampin' Up! Bike Ride stamp set and Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. by Patty Bennett

I stamped these sweet "sunflower baskets" on Whisper White Stitched Shape oval framelits, and then added them to cards and a gift bag!  I love the new Gold Striped Treat bags from Stampin' Up! (find the bags on page 195, #144255)

Each basket and sunflower bouquet is stamped with the Bike Ride stamp set (pg 20, #143716) in Archival Black ink onto a Whisper White stitched shape oval and layered onto a scalloped Layering Oval die cut in Old Olive cardstock.  I stamped "Thanks a bunch" in Pumpkin Pie ink from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set (pg 93, #143666) onto each oval.

 

  Sunflower Basket ovals. Stampin' Up! Bike Ride stamp set and Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. by Patty Bennett

 

Tip for the sunflower centers ... color the White Perfect Accents with your Black Sharpie marker and add one to each flower center!

Below:  On the first card, I added a little Old Olive 1/8" sheer ribbon bow to the basket, and then added the entire oval onto a card that I embellished with some embossing paste bricks... the REALLY cool thing about these bricks is that I added Gold Glitter to the embossing paste along with the Cajun Craze ink refill.. it gives the "brick wall" amazing texture!!  CLICK HERE to learn how to use embossing paste!

I tied up the card with some 1/4" Copper Trim and "frayed out" the ends to create more neat texture on the card.

Craft Tip: add glitter to your embossing paste with reinker for unique textured brick background. Pattern Party masks from Stampin' UP! & embossing paste available online. click shop online at www.pattystamps.com

I mixed Gold Glitter (#133457)  and reinker with my embossing paste to create these bricks with tons of texture!!!

For the card below, I was using up 2 different colors of embossing paste.. did you see my Instagram video (<< click!) when I was doing that fun technique?

Above:  I mixed Lemon Lime Twist reinker with my embossing paste and spread it on Basic Black cardstock using the Palette knives and Pattern Party Masks for this dramatic background for this sunflower basket card.  I added just a small strip of  Delightful Daisy designer paper to the bottom of the card, then tied it off with Crushed Curry 3/8" Mini Chevron ribbon in 2 places.

Above:  with my 4th sunflower basket oval, I decided to layer it onto a Gold Striped Treat Bag, and use a strip of Gold Foil paper that I had punched with the Decorative Ribbon punch, plus a gold metallic doily to dress it up a bit.  Then I added some Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon to bring out the green scalloped oval.

Click for Stampin' UP! Specials // Click for Patty's Special

 

I have some fun crafty tips for you today, for creating a cloudy sky, a Sandy Beach, and a fun punch art sun!  I love the pop of RED on the Adirondak chair on my card today!  Read all the details below so you can make one too!  And don't miss all of the Stampin' UP! Supplies listed at the bottom of this blog post.

 

Red Adirondak chair beach scene card featuring Stampin' UP! embossing paste clouds and Seasonal Layers framelits dies. Tip! Use Sheltering Tree stamp for sandy beach!! Card stamped by Patty Bennett.

 

Not sure about you, but I would LOVE to be sitting in this beach chair right now!  Can't you just feel the cool breeze, warm sun and the sand in your toes!?  Well, ok, maybe not.. but it was a good thought :)

Tip #1:

Create a cloudy sky using the Stampin' Up! Pattern Party cloud mask and embossing paste (or you could sponge white ink over the stencil, too!)

And Bonus Cloud Tip:  use a piece of printed background paper for the sky! I used a piece from the Naturally Eclectic DSP package (pg 188, #144185).

 

Supplies and Details to create this card:

  • Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11" "top fold" card with Bermuda Bay cardstock
  • Use embossing paste & cloud stencil on Naturally Eclectic printed paper for the sky
  • stamp the "water" image from Fabulous Flamingo onto Pool Party cardstock
  • Tear a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock for the sand, and stamp with the Sheltering Tree image (see info below)
  • Die cut the adirondack chair with Real Red cardstock (using the Seasonal Layers framelits)
  • Create a punch art sun using the Starburst punch (details below)
  • Add a 1/2" wide Whisper White "flag" punched with the Triple Banner punch and stamped with stars and "hello friend" both from the Wood Words stamp set, then embellished with enamel shape stars

All Stampin' UP! supplies used on this card can be found listed at the bottom of this post, and you can purchase any of them by simply clicking on the product photos.  It will take you right to my online Stampin' Up! store.

 

Red Adirondak chair beach scene card featuring Stampin' UP! embossing paste clouds and Seasonal Layers framelits dies. Tip! Use Sheltering Tree stamp for sandy beach!! Card stamped by Patty Bennett.

 

I put on a really light coat of embossing paste to try to make the clouds look fluffy and wind blown.  You can also put on a thicker coat of embossing paste and create thick white clouds.

Tip #2:

Create a punch art Sun: Use the new Stampin' Up! Starburst Punch and Daffodil Delight cardstock, then sponge the edges with a sponge dauber and Pumpkin Pie ink for a fun sun embellishment!!

Stampin UP! embossing paste background card idea featuring Delightful Daisy punch and Oh So Eclectic stamp set. Lovely Words thinlit dies embellishment. by Patty Bennett

 You know how much I love flowers.. in my garden AND in my stamping projects... I really love these beautiful flower cards that I came up with showcasing embossing paste backgrounds, new Stampin' UP! In Colors, and the the Lovely Words Thinlit dies.  On the left card I decorated it with punched Daisy images, new Decorative Ribbon border punch, and a Clear Faceted Gem.  On the right card, I stamped and die cut with the Oh So Eclectic stamp set for the flowers and die cut Lemon Lime twist leaves with the Ribbon of Courage/Support Ribbon framelit dies.

The best secret for the fun Daisy punch is to stamp and punch it twice, then layer them together and add them to your project.  I also like to "curl" the petals gently backwards to give it some volume and interest.  On the Daisy below, I stamped in Berry Burst ink on Whisper White, then just "blended" the color a bit with a Clear Wink of Stella pen.. so it glistens and has some fun variations in color.

  • Lemon Lime Twist cardstock panel: 4 x 5-1/4
  • Berry Burst cardstock panel: 3-3/4 x 5 embellished with lemon lime twist colored embossing paste and Pattern Party masks

Patriotic 4th of July Bike Ride Card

July 01, 2017

 

The Stampin' Up! Bike Ride stamp set and framelit bundle is AMAZING and sooo much fun to play with!  I created this cute patriotic / 4th of July card idea after die cutting lots of fun bike and accessory pieces with this bundle!

 

Bike Ride 4th of July patrioit card idea featuring brick embossing paste background, die cut doggie, sunflowers, and baskets. Card by Patty Bennett at pattystamps.com

You can see this darling Bike Ride bundle (stamp set & framelits) on page 20 of the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! catalog, or here in my online Stampin' UP! store.

I started by stamping and die cutting all of the pieces in this set, including the bike, wheels, baskets, doggie, flowers, apples, books, and all the other little accessory pieces.  I did stamp the bike frame and wheels on Glossy Cardstock.. it gives such a great solid image!

Then I created a background for my card by applying embossing paste (mixed with glitter) onto a vanilla 4"x5-1/4" panel, and adding a strip of Pick a Pattern Washi tape as the "road".  I adhered the brick panel to a folded Real Red card.  For more info on applying the embossing paste brick background to your card click to watch my free Embossing Paste video tutorial.

 

Stamped and Die cut pieces for Bike Ride 4th of July patrioit card, die cut doggie, sunflowers, bike and baskets. Card by Patty Bennett at pattystamps.com

Step 1:  stamp Bike Ride images

Step 2: color in images with makers, or, stamp with the coordinating stamps as I did here

Step 3: die cut with matching Bike Ride framelit dies in the Big Shot

Step 4: assemble pieces on your card

Step 5: store extra pieces in little containers for future use

Enamel shapes, or White Perfect Accents (#138416, pg 196) are so fun when colored with a Black Sharpie pen - they make the perfect sunflower center accent or the best addition to the center of the bike wheels!

This is really seriously just WAY too much fun!!!  You can see this darling bundle (stamp set & framelits) on page 20 of the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! catalog, or here in my online Stampin' UP! store.

Using Stampin' Dimensionals under the bike frame is a great way to give this card fun depth, dimension and interest!

Above is a different version of the same card, and I added a "hello friend" greeting banner.

Special Notes:

  • be sure to add the cute handle streamers.. they are die cuts in the framelit set. I put one drop of fine-tip glue on the handles and added the streamers... so cute!  I mean SERIOUSLY so cute!
  • for fun glossy accents, color some White Perfect Accents with a Black Sharpie marker and add to the sunflower centers and on the center of the wheels!
