Stamp Review Crew: Summer 2022 Sale-a-bration

 

The Stamp Review Crew has a special hop this time!  The format is a little different for this hop.  Instead of each member creating with the same stamp set as we usually do this time we are all using different Sale-a-bration products.   As always though we are archiving the hop for future reference.  Please click on the banner below to see past hops and to check out the bios of the crew members.

I chose the Wonderful World stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper bundle  for my cards.   

I decided to try something new for the first two cards:  no-line watercoloring.  I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked.  I used a fade-out disappearing ink to stamp the images on watercolor paper.  I am not experienced in watercoloring and was not sure if I could do it well.   Because these floral images are very detailed it gave me the help I needed to watercolor in the right places.  I love how delicate the flowers look.

  

The accent fluff is made by fraying a strip of Natural Finish Ribbon.

The lattice is made with snippets cut with the Split Card Textures Die set on point.

My third card uses the rose stamp traditionally stamped with classic ink.  It is pretty nifty that this DistINKtive stamp set is designed to stamp both the dark and light areas at the same time.    

The card is one that I designed using a partial die cutting technique and is perfect for double-sided paper.   This one is sealed on the side and bottom to form a pocket for the bookmark.   I made a video for this technique which I have added below.  Details for other cards using this technique can be found in this POST.    

Perfect for a special book lover!

The angle of the card front is cut to match the angle of the pattern on the paper.
