Stamp With Kathryn’s Kreations

Stampin’ Up’s Shell Collecting stamp set in the mini catalogue is a reversible stamp set. A reversible stamp means there is a detailed side and the flat side to fill in color on the back. The card on the left 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 uses the following inks Summer Splash, Blueberry Bushel and Calypso Coral. The detailed stamp is stamped full strength, then clean and flip over to the flat side ink it up and stamp off and fill in the detailed color stamp. Then using the second largest Perennial Postage dies cut the cardstock. Next put the cut cardstock and emboss it with the Soft Waves EF. The card base is Summer Splash 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 score 4 1/4. The Beach Boardwalk DSP is the background layer 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. Then adhere the panel with dimensions. The sentiment is from the Product of the Month called Fabulous Sayings inked in Summer Splash and the label is a new Online Exclusive called Paradise Garden dies. The label is adhered with dimensions in the middle. The next technique is with Dark Stampin Blends, alcohol and heat embossing in white. The first step is a panel of vellum 4 1/2 x 6. Using Dark Stampin Blends in Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock and Blueberry Bushel scribble in any direction the three colors. Using 91% alcohol in your spritzer wet the entire vellum. Using the heat tool on level one dry the vellum. After it is dry using your embossing Buddy to clean off any residue. Then using Versamark on the detailed stamps arrange the seashells on the vellum and add white embossing powder and heat with heat tool on level two. After glue the vellum on Basic White cardstock 4 1/2 x 6 then using the second largest Perennial Postage die cut the frame. The card base is Summer Splash 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. Another Summer Splash panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 is embossed with Soft Waves EF. Adhere the embossed panel with adhesive to the card base. The embossed vellum panel is adhered with dimensions. The sentiment from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set is heat embossed in white and the label is from the Paradise Garden dies. In both card designs use the 2024-2026 InColor Shimmer Gems as the embellishments. Watch my Sunday video on Facebook to see how these cards came together. It is a simple and fun stamp set.
