Learn How to Stamp on Vellum with the Branching Out Bundle

Branching-Out-Vellum-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I want to share a beautiful and easy card made with the Branching Out Bundle and show you how to stamp on vellum. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. The wood frame was cut with the largest die from Branching Out Dies out of Country Woods Designer Series Paper.

Here you can see where I stamped the pine branch from Branching Out in Early Espresso and Garden Green ink. To seal it on the vellum, I heat embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder. Notice the shine on it.

Notice the snowflakes in the background. That is a piece of Silent Snowfall Designer Series Paper, which is embossed snowflakes, that I used a brayer to apply Cloud Cover over the embossed design.

Notice the Irregular Weave Trim across the bottom. This is a very unique and interesting trim!

The inside piece is the inside from the front frame, only on the reverse side. Both stamps are retired Stampin' Up! stamps.

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop with Amber Autumn Bundle and Kintsugi Designer Series Paper



Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am hopping with a talented group of demonstrators for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. The project I am sharing is a beautiful and easy card made with an altered piece of the Kintsugi Specialty Designer Series Paper and a die from Amber Autumn Dies. Let's take a look.

At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Check it out. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom.

Here is the front of the card. Let me show you what I did to the Kintsugi Designer Series Paper.


Amber-Autumn-Kintsugi-DSP-Stampin-Up

This is the piece I decided to alter.

This is the same piece after I brushed the following colors over it: Calypso Coral, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, and Copper.

I then cut this piece with the die from Amber Autumn. Isn't it beautiful!!

A 4" x 5 1/4" piece of the beautiful Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper was embossed with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder and adhered behind the Kintsugi Designer Series Paper. Look how it makes the paper pop!!

The sentiment is from the Online Exclusive set Banner Sayings, which is a stamp set and coordinating punch.

The leaf and acorn were heat embossed with copper embossing powder and colored with the Bronze, Pecan Pie, Darling Duckling, and Timid Tiger blends.
