Clear Block Stamping

Today' card share is another one from my Stamp A Stack this week.  I just love block stamping and especially with this stamp set. 

We used Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Cajun Craze and More Mustard for the ink colors.  The stamp sets were French Foliage and Curly Cute.

Little Bit of Good

I forgot about sharing this card with you - it was also an Artisan Award entry card.  I used clear block stamping and the French Foliage and Pursuit of Happiness stamp sets.

I went with Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and Early Espresso for my colors.

Wisteria Fancy Flower

I pulled out another stamp set that has been on the shelf for awhile for this card - Flower Fancy.  First, I used a clear block and stamped some Pool Party ink on my Very Vanilla card stock and then I stamped my image and colored it in with markers. 

The Wisteria Wonder background has been run through the Big Shot using the Stripes textured impressions folder and I finished the card with some pearls and Victoria ribbon.

One layer

I have a quick one layer card for you today using clear block stamping.  The stamp set I used is Love and Sympathy and I combined it with Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Early Espresso and Wild Wasabi inks and markers.

There is a second sentiment added on the inside of the card as well.

Sometimes I find it difficult to create one layer and clean and simple cards, but I like the way this one turned out.

Falling leaves

Our challenge at Late Night Stampers this week is Thanksgiving themed projects - cards, home decor, thank you gifts, etc. 

I made 4 single layer cards (well two of them have a sentiment layer) using the French Foliage stamp set and added a belly band around the cards and envelopes.

I added some clear block stamping behind the leaves to add some color, but I didn't want to make the impression solid because I was going for the weathered look.

Virtual Swap

I am taking part in a Virtual swap with UStamp with Dawn and Friends right now since I wasn't able to go to Salt Lake City for convention last week (they really need to either move it to North Dakota or have it in the winter, LOL!)

This is the card I chose to include as my virtual swap.  The background is done using collage stamping (adding more than one stamp to your block and inking them all together) and the background on the main image is an actual block dipped in ink.

Nature Walk stamp set
