Social Stamping Blog Host - Hello

Hello and welcome,

We are sharing our creations through a new group called Social Stampers which was created by the lovely Kelly Kent. The theme is Hello! I feel it’s very important to keep in contact with people and with what is happening all over the world. Sending out a card to someone is such a lovely way to keep in contact and to brighten up their day.

The Stampin’ Up! products that I’ve used is a combination of different items from the January – June 2020 Mini Catalogue. I’ve used the Poppy Moments Dies to create a Melon Mambo water colour Poppy using the Pigment Sprinkles and Fluid 100 Watercolor paper.

I like the combination of the soft colours together using Pool Party for the leaves, tiny tropical flowers from the In the Tropics Dies and the sentiment also stamped in Pool Party.

The brightness of the yellows mixes well together using a blend of Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon, a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock and water coloured So Saffron Ink on the panel. The panel of the striped Daffodil Delight DSP is from the Best Dressed 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper I like how the lines are diagonal.

The card base is Thick Whisper White Cardstock and I’ve sponged So Saffron Ink onto the white cardstock. This gives a nice finish look to the card and to finish off I’ve added a few sequins.

#TGIFC253 Product Spotlight Challenge - Embossing Paste

Hello and welcome,



Today, I’ll be sharing with you a card that I have entered the latest #TGIF253 Product Spotlight Challenge which is Embossing Paste. I have used the White Matte Finish Embossing Paste combined with colour and sparkle to my creation.

I combined the tiniest drop of Gorgeous Grape Pigment Sprinkles with the Embossing Paste onto a palette (I use an old ice cream lid) and mixed with the Palette knife before applying to the Diamond Decorative Mask. I always secure my mask at the top with masking tape, so I can easily slip a piece of Cardstock underneath. This helps when you want to do more Embossing and the Mask doesn’t move on you either. Make sure you clean your Mask and Palette Knife in warm soapy water as it dries quickly on your products. 

Before the Embossing Paste dries up, I sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter on and waited for it to dry. I added more colour to the Whisper White card panel by splattering Gorgeous Grape Pigment Sprinkles Ink with the Aqua Painter. 

The water colour flower is from the Poppy Moments Dies. I’ve used a sheet of the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, spritz water with Stampin’ Spritzer, add Gorgeous Grape Pigment Sprinkle on a Clear Block and Ink up the Water color paper with an Aqua Painter. Once the ink on the watercolor paper had dried, I then die cut out the Poppy images. The leaves are in Granny Apple Green Pigment Sprinkles. There was an extra layer using a piece of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock for the Poppy. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the layers for the Poppy and leaves.
