IT’S TIME FOR A TECHNIQUE TUESDAY PROJECT

Today I want to share a project that focuses on the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I have used it for dry embossing and die cutting. For this card I used both the machines – standard and mini.

The card I made was created for a Global Design Project challenge.

This card has several layers – a Basic White card base, panels of Timid Tiger and Peaceful Pine card, an embossed Basic White panel, die cut Barely Blush and Peaceful Pine lattice elements, die cut and coloured floral stems and a layered birthday greeting.

The Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder was used to add texture to the Basic White layer.

The flowers were coloured using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush and popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Tomorrow I have a super simple card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

TUESDAY IS TIME FOR SOME TIPS & TECHNIQUE

As I shared yesterday, this week I am featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection, from the January – April 2026 Mini Catalogue. (166844 $112.25AUD)

If you live in Australia and would like a copy of the upcoming catalogue please reach out and I will get one to you.

Today’s card uses one of the Designer Series Paper designs as a key element. After cutting it to adhere to the Secret Sea card base, I stamped the roller coaster image in front of the palm trees – also in Secret Sea. This creates the impression that the roller coaster is in front of the trees.

For the carriages on the roller coaster, I wanted them to have some height to give a sense of depth and movement.

The die cut pieces, with their cut out centre, don’t really suit using Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut several sets of carriages and layered them on top of each other.

TIP: Using Multipurpose Glue for this can create a bit of a sticky mess so I opted to use Adhesive Sheets for a cleaner finish.

After attaching the layered carriage on the roller coaster I trimmed the end to align with the lefthand side of the DSP panel.

The greeting is from the Boardwalk Fun Stamp Set and was stamped in Secret Sea before being trimmed and popped on the card suing Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I die cut a palm tree for the card insert and stampedone on the back of the envelope.

TIP: Use Stampin’ Blends to colour light coloured embellishments and ribbon to coordinate with your project.

Finally, I used the Dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend to colour some Antique Pearls.

Tomorrow I have 2 cards to share with you – BONUS!

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
