Tape Masking techniques

By tarryn on January 15, 2018

When masking with tape on cardstock you are going to find it will tear the paper and cause problems for you. Most of us use washi tape which doesn’t do a great job. I have the answer for you! Use scotch tape and double sided tape with this simple trick to make your life sooo much easier!

~~~ Supplies~~~

Ink Pads (Early Espresso) Stampin Up
Ink Refills (Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant, Cherry Cobler, Crushed Curry) Stampin Up
Scotch Tape (no paper or tissue tape)
Double-sided tape (with a removable backing is best)
Thinlet Die (no longer available for purchase) Stampin Up
Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack Stampin Up

Paint your embossing folder

By tarryn on January 10, 2018

I made this cute mermaid greeting card using mostly teal and purple because those are my favourite colors right now. It reminds me of Barney but what can you do! I only have one mermaid stamp that I have had for about 20 years. Proof that you don’t need a million stamps to make pretty cards.

Heat Emboss, Stencil and Watercolor

By tarryn on January 6, 2018

I clearly am super into teal and purple at the moment. Purple used to be my favourite color but it has recently landed the number two spot since I have fallen in love with teal. It’s pretty magical to use clear heat embossing powder with watercolor paint. If you haven’t tried it, you really should give it a try. Such a satisfying experience! I have to say I really love the “Eastern Beauty” Stamp set by Stampin Up. I have been using it a lot lately.

Ink Refills (Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant) Stampin Up
Cardstock Amazon
Colored Cardstock Amazon
Clear Emboss Powder: Stampin Up
Heat Tool (for setting embossing powder – no, hairdryers don’t work): Amazon
