Glimmer Paper Diecut Brilliant Wings Butterfly Inlay

Today's project showcases a die cut technique called INLAY. 
The concept is simple: cut a shape and lay it back into its hole.

 

Gorgeous paper, right?  Its glimmer paper! A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
I used Stampin'Up!'s new 2022-2024 In-Color Glimmer Paper
and did you notice the subtle ombre effect in the color ... so pretty

full product list below

Lets talk adhesives for a minute . . . for 2 reasons.

 

#1:  notice the fluttery effect on the butterfly wings?

the butterfly has adhesive under only the body so the wings are free to lift up

 

#2: the surface of any glimmer paper presents a challenge

using something flexible like a Glue Dot or foam Dimensionals

helps keep parts like the sentiment piece attached to the surface of glimmer paper

Would you like to see the INLAY technique in action? 

The nice thing about videos is you can fast forward thru the parts you don't need to see.

BTW I post how-to videos each Monday on my FB page,

 

 

This card has such a happy, summery, carefree feel. I love the bright colors.

Do you have a butterfly punch or die?  Are you feeling inspired?

Fall Sunflower Card with an Ombre Look

Here's a fun inking technique that results in making 3 cards at once.

The concept is easy - cut three pieces of cardstock the same size and stamp.
Cut each piece into thirds and mix up the pieces.

The key is to get the stamp positioned in exactly the same place on each piece of paper.
Realistically you can not do this without using a stamp positioning tool
like the Stamparatus

Then you end up with 3 fun flowers to use on cards.
Here are just a few ideas for ways to use the strips.

I hope this gave you some ideas and inspired you to get out the stamp supplies

Ombre Emboss Resist with Breathtaking Bouquet

Today's card features a combination of 2 techniques: 

an ombre coloring combined with a heat emboss resist

Heat Emboss Resist is an easy technique,

you heat emboss an image and apply color over it. 

The paper accepts the ink but the material used to emboss does not.

With an emboss resist your color choice can produce different results...

For more information and 5 more samples check this post.

In that post I applied the color with an art sponge
For the ombre effect on today's card I used a sponge brayer
While I'm sure you could use a sponge for this,
given the large area I felt I got better coverage with the brayer.

The image is the Breathtaking Bouquet background stamp
which is very "busy". So the sentiment needed to be big and bold.
full product list at the end of the post

The sentiment is from a set called Seriously the Best
And not to get too punny on you, but combining
a heat resist with ombre coloring gives a background
that truly is seriously, the best!

Puns aside, seriously . . . I hope I have inspired you to
pull out your supplies and play.
And if you need any supplies I can provide those too.
