Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Where Creativity Meets C9 Blog Challenge Design Team!! Our challenge this month is Layered!

Take a look at my card:

turnabout stamp set

To create this card, I used Concord & 9th Oh, Hello Turnabout stamp set paired with Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Die Inks.

I followed the directions on the back of the stamp set packaging as to ensure that I stamped correctly on my card panel.
I used 3 different color inks from Clearsnap to stamp each turnaround.
When using this stamp set, once you stamp the first set, you turn the cardstock not the stamp to make the right stamp marks.
Once card panel was completed, I die cut a piece of vellum using a circle die.
Then I stamped the main sentiment using Versamark and added white embossing powder. Heat set.
Adhere the vellum to the card front using foam dots.

Super quite and easy. I love this stamp set for the sentiments included. They are so powerful and encouraging.

What do you think? Please let know below.

I can’t wait to see how you interpret our challenge theme this month.

Hello everyone!! I’m on Clearsnap’s Blog today sharing how to stamp and stencil on Basswood!!!

I totally had fun with this project!! I love how the Colorbox Pigment Ink dried super fast on the basswood allowing me freedom to move the stencil around without smearing the ink.

Here’s a sneak peek look at what I created:

For the full tutorial please head on over to the Clearsnap Blog to see what I’ve come up with. This tray will hold my kids drink while we are outside enjoying the sunshine this summer.

While you’re there, let me know what you think and if you will give this a try!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

If you’ve been hopping along, you would have arrived from Lisa’s blog and if you’d like to start from the beginning, head on over to the CardMaker’s blog.

I was challenged to use Clearsnap Chalk Ink to create a project. So, I decided to show you how to achieve an Ombre effect using Clearsnap Chalk Ink. I love this affect because it shows a gradual light to dark color that is so super easy to achieve.

Colorbox ink and stamp

Supplies used:

Clearsnap ColorBox Petal Point® Chalk Ink
Clearsnap Three Inch Wood Mount Stamp – Flamingo
Clearsnap ColorBox® Archival Full Size – Wicked Black
Clearsnap ColorBox® Embossing Powder
Recollection Heavyweight Cardstock
Hero Arts Hello Stamp and Cut

Lets get started:

Use the lightest pink to ink up the stamp.

Stamp the image to the bottom left corner of the white card base.

Adding the first ink

Then re-ink the stamp with the first color and the middle pink color towards the tail.

Stamp the inked stamp to the right of the first stamped image.

adding the second ink

Then ink up the stamp one more time in the solid darker pink color and stamp the image on the cardstock.

Take a look at all three of the stamped images from dark to light.

Stamp your sentiment using Clearsnap Archival Ink in Wicked Black and sprinkle clear embossing powder on top. Heat set the sentiment for a glossy look.
