Smile - Worry Does Not Empty - Overstamping Technique

Hi there, Yogi here today with an over-stamping technique...

I'm using an Elizabeth Craft Designs die "Sweet Smiles" 2pce set also available on Quietfire Design HERE

And I'm using a couple Quietfire Design stamps "Worry Does Not Empty..." and "Leafy Acanthus Background"

Scored and folded my white cardstock to create a 5"w x 7"h card. Cut a piece of blue pearilzed Bazzill cardstock and then a piece of light blue cardstock, layering one on top of the other.

Used my Misti to stamp the Penny Black "Hidden Lane" using Versafine Black Onyx onto an Oxide background paper, making sure the black was nice and black all over.... Adhered to front of card.

Die cut the "Smile" from a white cardstock.

Inside of Card:

On a piece of white cardstock stamped the quote using the black and clear embossed.

Inked the "Acanthus" stamp with Versamark and stamped over the text. Clear embossed. Sponged and direct to paper using Distress "Peeled Paint". Used a damp paper towel to wipe off the excess ink on the clear embossed areas. Trimmed the piece down and adhered to the light blue and the pearlized blue cardstocks, then adhered to inside of card. (See detail images below - you can see the shine from the embossing and the steps to create it yourself.)



Step 1: Stamp quote using a black and clear emboss.
Step 2: Stamp with the background stamp using a clear embossing pad like Versamark and clear emboss. (you can see the shine from the clear embossing)

   
 Step 3: Sponge with you Distress ink color of choice. Preferable a deep toned color that will give contrast.
Step 4: with the same stamp pad color, go over your whole design direct to paper getting nice contrasts in shading.

Step 5: Mist a paper towel lightly with water and rub over the inked surface, removing ink on the embossed areas. Voila you're done - easy peasy. Now trim down and layer onto corresponding colors of cardstock and then onto your card.

Worry Does Not Empty

Hello to you on this Monday!!!  I'm so glad you've popped in!!!!  I love this quote - it is very true - and Suzanne has lettered it so beautifully!!  I've stamped it on the textured side of Soft Finish Cardstock which gave it a bit of a distressed look and as I thought of that and wondered if I should start over and use the smooth side of the paper it occurred to me that worry can give us a distressed look, so I left it as is.  

Here's how I made the card:

1.  Cut 100# Soft Finish Cardstock to 4 3/8" x 5 1/4".  Lay stencil over paper and ink with Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, and Squeezed Lemonade.  Stamp quote with Jet Black ink in center of paper.

2.  Cut Ovals from 100# Soft Finish Cardstock backed with Clear Double Sided Adhesive. Separate ovals, ink the two I've used with Wilted Violet, remove adhesive liner and attach to card as shown.  Ink edges of panel with Wilted Violet.

3.  Cut 85# Soft Finish Cardstock 4 3/4" x 5 5/8".  Emboss with folder, embossing one half first and then the second half lining up the dots.  Ink around edges with Squeezed Lemonade.

4. Cut 100# Soft Finish Cardstock 5 7/8" x 10" and fold to make a card 5 7/8" x 5".  Attach yellow panel with Double Stick Tape.  Attach stamped panel with Foam Mounting Tape.

5.  Cut 2 Leafy Branches from 100# Soft Finish Cardstock, ink with Twisted Citron, tear off some of the back branches, shape leaves using Molding Mat and Loop Tool, glue to card as shown.  

6.  Cut all parts of Zinnia except the stem from 100# Soft Finish Cardstock.  Ink leaves with Mowed Lawn.  Ink flowers with Salty Ocean.  Ink pistil with Squeezed Lemonade.  Shape petals with Molding Mat and Loop Tool.  Add definition to leaves with Leaf Mat and Tool. Assemble flower onto card as shown. 

I hope you've enjoyed today's project and that you have a good week!!!  If you have a moment, please leave a comment and let us know what you think.

Worry....

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here sharing an easy and quick to create project: a little photo frame with a Quietfire Design quote stamp. It's ment to be a little gift to comfort, encourage, remind or help someone....
Of course you could use any other quote stamp...Quietfire has so many gorgeous ones!

This cute little project is really easy to make.
I bought my plain wooden photo frame (mine is sized 3.25"x 4.5") and embellished it with some mulberry flowers, leaves, stamens and a little birdie ....that is all it took!
Just enough to keep all emphasis on the quote.

Used materials:

• Quietfire Design: Worry (#6469) - red rubber, mounted stamp
• photo frame
• white cardstock
• Archival Ink: jet black
• Tacky glue
• embellishments

I hope you like the idea!
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugsss,
Yvonne

Worry

Hello, Diana here to share this beautiful quote by the amazing Corrie Ten Boom, author of The Hiding Place.  If you don't know who she is, you should definitely google her.  She's such an inspiration. And don't you just love the flourishes on top and bottom of this quote?  Yum!

I first stamped and embossed this quote on white card stock.  I then die-cut it out with Spellbinders Label 8, backed it with a kraft layer with Decorative Labels 8.  More foam tape on top of the large Tranquil Moments die, the stitched layer from My Favorite Things Blueprints 15, and then the kraft base layer.  I love foam tape... and butterflies and flowers so I added those too!  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the butterfly is Poppystamps Elsa butterfly with a row of adhesive pearls.
