Painter's Palette Jazzed Up
My computer keeps crashing, went to the Microsoft Store, they replaced it and it is still crashing, writing my posts have been challenging, but I keep typing on!! My second card this week, uses the main stamp from the Painter’s Palette set, the easel. There are so many possibilities with this stamp, I chose to fussy cut it for this card. I have to admit, I’m a fan of fussy cutting, I find it relaxing. That being said, I do plan on getting the Layering Squares Framelits when they become available on June 1st. It wouldn’t have helped for this card, but it will for Friday’s card.
I used the following items available from my store at Stampin’ Up!:
- Painter's Palette Stamp Set
- Clear Blocks – E
- Basic Black Archival Stampin’ Pad
- Emerald Envy Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Very Vanilla 8 ½ x 11 Cardstock
- Playful Palette Designer Series Paper
- Peekaboo Peach Stampin’ Write Marker
- Aqua Painter
- Snail Adhesive
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
Below are the instructions for this card:
- Cut a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock to 8 ½ x 5 ½ , score at 4 ¼ and fold.
- Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 5 ½ x 2 ½, then cut off ½ from the long side and flip to show opposite side of paper.
- Adhere both pieces of DSP to left side of card.
- Stamp easel on piece of Very Vanilla and fussy cut around the outside.
- Using the Peekaboo Peach Stampin’ Write Marker, scribble inside easel.
- Squeeze the Emerald Envy Classic Stampin’ Pad prior to opening it to allow color to be on the lid.
- Using the Aqua Painter pick up color from lid, and tap Aqua Painter on your finger to splatter on the easel. You may have to tap kind of hard, I prefer this technique to using your finger to pull back on the bristles of the brush.
- Stamp sentiment in center of easel.
- Adhere easel to center of card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used this card for a swap at an event, everyone loved it. I was excited to share new product coming up from Stampin’ Up! Friday’s card shows another piece of the DSP, the easel stamp cut differently, I bring back the twine from Monday’s card and add Washi Tape. Can’t wait to share!!
