AmaZing Silhouettes

This month's tutorial features a simple technique perfect for the Dist-INK-tive stamps in the new Amazing Silhouettes bundle! ~ betty Amazing Silhouettes Card Project Inspiration - Amazing Silhouettes Card Can you believe this colourful card was created with a single stamped image? It's true! The butterfly image looks complex but all it takes is ink, Sponge Daubers, and a spritz of water to make the magic!
The Amazing Silhouettes Bundle (#157819) is really unique, and I love it! It has layering die cut words with the Amazing Thanks Dies (#157814) and the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set (#157814) is a Dist-INK-tive set that creates a faux emboss resist effect by stamping "around" the image and leaving a negative space. Try it with patterned paper or heat embossing for even more amazing looks! Let's flit off and create something beautiful! Project - Step 1 1. Stamp & Fold Cut Polished Pink cardstock to 4-1/4" x 11". Score at 5-1/2" along the 11" side. Randomly stamp edges of card with the butterfly stamp using VersaMark ink for a subtle texture.
Project - Step 2 2. Add Layers Cut Heart & Home diagonal wood patterned paper to 3" x 5-1/2". Adhere to 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" Basic Black cardstock. Adhere to center of card front. Adhere 4" x 5-1/4" Basic White cardstock inside for a writing area. Project - Step 3 3. Die Cut Greeting Die cut "thanks" from the Amazing Thanks Dies (#157816). Cut the background from Basic Black and the detailed word from Polished Pink cardstock. Adhere together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or adhesive of your choice.
Project - Step 4 4. Sponge Stamp Dist-INK-Tive stamps created a multi-shaded image and work best with a lighter application of ink. Sponge Daubers are a great option. Use Sponge Daubers to add Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Polished Pink ink to the stamp. Cover about 1/3 of the image with each colour, but overlap sections of the stamp a bit to blend. Project - Step 5 5. Spritz & Stamp Spritz sponged stamp with 2-3 spritzes of water using a Stampin' Spritzer (#126185). Let the water sit for about 15 seconds. Place 2-3/4" square piece of Basic White at a diagonal, like a diamond, and stamp. Hold the stamp in place for a count of 10 to let the ink absorb well. Adhere to a 3" square of Basic Black.
Project - Step 6 6. Embellish Adhere stamped butterfly to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Wrap Black Baker's Twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) around the top front of the card and tie in a bow. Adhere die cut greeting with liquid glue. Add several Polished Pink jewels from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels (#155571) to the card front.

Ribbons and Gift Wrapping Techniques written by Kim Vallee Forgot the typical Christmas ribbons and bows that you buy at the drugstore. This year make an impression with an array of ribbons. Mix widths, colors and textures to dress up your gifts. Buying in Bulk To Save Money I save on gift-wrapping paper by buying them in bulk. Even if I only got one pattern, my gifts do not look the same under the Christmas tree because I decorate them differently. Imagine the little black dress; no two women wear it the same. My collection of fabric ribbons and gift ornaments becomes my accessories. How To Tie Ribbons on Gifts including the Classic Double Bow The Canadian  House and Home November 2008  edition featured several ribbon tying techniques from Alison Dawson of  Mokuba , a fabulous ribbon shop in Toronto.
