I was craving some back to basic stamping with my Simon Says Stamp Inks and stamps. Sometimes, I get caught up in other techniques, I forget about my rainbow of inks and the endless possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So on this edition of crafting hour, I managed to make these four lovely cards, with never before used products that I bought a bit ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I started with 4 panels of Neenah solar white 80 lb cut to 4.25 x 5.5. I knew I wanted to create a one layer styled card and a card where I used the coordinating dies to cut the florals out. Browsing my handy dandy ink swatch booklet, I landed on the colors Lavender<\/strong><\/a> and Hydrangea<\/strong><\/a> (for the purple flowers), Apricot<\/a><\/strong> and Sunkist<\/strong><\/a> (for the peachy flowers) and Jellybean<\/strong><\/a> and Leaf Green<\/strong><\/a> for the leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a STAMPtember collaboration stamp from Pinkfresh Studios<\/strong><\/a> which is no longer available, however, I found this Charming Floral Wreath<\/strong><\/a> that is similar to the set I have. I went to work stamping and layering these beautiful florals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once I was done stamping, I quickly finished these one layer cards by stamping this XL sentiment “Sending Sunshine” from the XL Greeting set<\/strong><\/a>. I used Gina K’s Amalgam Ink<\/strong><\/a> and stamped in three times to ensure it was s deep deep black. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finished it off with some jewels and said VIOLA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up next, I wanted to try a new to me technique called Dry Embossing. I recently had picked up a embossing pad and decided it needed to be put to use. I had a beautiful stencil from Paper Rose called Stephanie<\/strong><\/a> that I thought would be perfect for this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to work finding the right sandwich for my Gemini, and after a few attempts I finally figured it out! After that, I cut the additional florals out of the panels that I had created earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I added in the Laurel Leaf die<\/strong><\/a> from STAMPtember as well to add some more interest to the background. Can’t forget the jewels to finish it off and a couple of reverse sentiments (probably my favorite product these days). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this purple die, I used a set of Inside and Out Stitched dies<\/strong><\/a> that I hadn’t taken apart yet. How neat that you can use dies and it won’t cut through the paper (unless you don’t have the right sandwich setting!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So many new ideas after successfully attempting this new technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you tried dry embossing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
