Epic Celebration with the Eclipse Technique

I'm getting ready for my masculine card class, and at the request of a student I am making a card using the Eclipse Technique.

The Epic Celebration stamp set, a SAB stamp, seems perfect for this technique.

On a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the large dot stamp from Touches of Texture stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Then I die cut the word "EPIC" using the large letter framelits.

After adhering this piece to a Cherry Cobbler card base, the letters were reinserted into the negative die cut space using foam tape.  Some Wink of Stella was applied over the letters.  However, it caused the ink to smear somewhat so I would not do that again.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, the images of the guitar, shoes, and headphones were embossed with black embossing powder, coloured with Blendabilites, then fussy cut.  I added these to the card front below the raised "eclipsed" word.  The head phones fit perfectly over the "C".  On top of the "I" I placed a small button.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Epic Celebrations, Touches of Texture
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Versa Mark, Blendabilities
Papers:  Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Accessories:  Large Letters Framelits, Foam Tape, True Gentleman Buttons

On Stage Swap Cards -You Make a Difference

Yesterday I sat down and made 10 more swap cards for On-Stage Toronto, using the stamp set "Touches of Texture", which is one of the stamps being carried over into the new catalogue.

When you're mass producing cards to swap, the design needs to be simple but eye-catching, with only a few embellishments.
I chose to make card front rather than a full card.  The Whisper White (Art Piece) is thus 3 3/4 by 5", matted with a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Marina Mist card stock. The recipient can then adhere it to a card front of their choosing to make a full card.

The images were stamped with Black Memento or Basic Gray ink and either stamped or coloured with Marine Mist ink.
Clear Wink of Stella was added to the dragonfly and flowers, and a retired 1/4" Marina Mist ribbon added to the bottom
The sentiment is from "In This World" is die cut using the stitched oval framelits and added to the card front with dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Touches of Texture, In This World
Inks: Black Memento, Basic Gray, Marina Mist
Papers: Marina Mist, Whisper White
Accessories: 1/4" Marina Mist ribbon (R), Clear Wink of Stella glitter brush, dimensionals, stitched oval framelits.

Thank You Note Cards - a SAB project

What combines the November Paper Pumpkin, SAB and the Annual Catalogue?

These Thank You note cards.  I will be using these to send customers who order on line.

The note cards and the envelopes were part of the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  When I saw the "So Very Much" SAB stamp set I knew what I would use the note cards and envelopes for.

The November Paper Pumpkin kit was extremely flexible and instead of cards I have made the following:  Christmas ornaments, Christmas tags, and now Thank You notes.

Note:

The sentiments were stamped with Island Indigo ink using the Stamp-a-ma-jig after which Calypso Coral  ink  was then stamped on top of the sentiment using one of the stamps from "Touch of Texture"

A bumble bee was stamped in the lower left corner and coloured with markers.  Clear Wink of Stella was added to the wings.

I was able to make 8 note cards. The coloured envelopes with an address label attached came with the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: So Very Much (SAB), Touches of Texture

Inks: Island Indigo, Black Memento, Markers (Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Soft Sky), Calypso Coral

Papers: White note cards from Paper Pumpkin kit (November 2017)

Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Clear Wink of Stella.
