February 2018 – Teresa's Stampin' Spot

Ombre Foils

Hi! Hard to believe this is the last day of February! That means there is only one month left to take advantage of all that Sale-A-Bration has to offer! Yikes! So many awesome products you can earn for FREE!!

Today I have a card featuring the Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper that was released as a Sale-A-Bration product on Feb 16th. This paper is just gorgeous on its own – but I decided to show what else you could do with it in today’s card.

Brayer, Ombre, 2018SAB, Springtime Foils, Stampin' Up!, SU!

For today’s card, I used one of the foam brayers to make an Ombre look on this paper. Starting at the top of the foil paper, I applied Night of Navy ink using the brayer. More ink was brayered at the top of the foil paper and less ink near the bottom to give it the Ombre look. After applying the ink, use a paper towel to remove the ink over the foil pattern. The foil Designer Series Paper is layered on a Night of Navy mat.

The flower is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set and is colored with Pink Pirouette, Old Olive and Night of Navy markers. This was punched out with the 1 3/4″ circle punch and layered on a 2″ Night of Navy circle punch. The Silver Trimmed ribbon was wrapped around the foil DSP.

The base is Thick Whisper White card stock.

This paper is one of the FREE products you can choose with a $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) order. I highly recommend it – it is so pretty and adds an elegant look to cards and projects.

Thanks, Cards, DIY Papercrafting, Heartfelt Blooms, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up1, SU!

This stamp set is just gorgeous and I had fun using the Triple Time Stamping Technique to make these cards. If you aren’t familiar with the technique, see below for some pictures to help you.

The 2016-2018 In Colors are retiring at the end of May. I highly recommend stocking up on card stock and re-inkers soon! Take advantage of Sale-A-Bration and earn FREE products while you can!

Here is a closer look at each color:

Dapper Denim:

Thanks, Cards, DIY Papercrafting, Heartfelt Blooms, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up1, SU!

The ribbon for this card was colored using a sponge dauber and the Dapper Denim ink pad. I hold one end of the ribbon with one hand and drag the ribbon across the pad pushing down with a Sponge dauber. I then flip the ribbon over and repeat on the other side. This Silver trimmed ribbon is just gorgeous and love that I can color it to match my card.

Emerald Envy:

Thanks, Cards, DIY Papercrafting, Heartfelt Blooms, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up!, SU!
For this card, I only stamped in the two corners – leaving a little bit of white space on the card. The ribbon was colored with the Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends! It is so easy to color AND you only need to color one side as it goes all the way through! Not much drying time needed either!
