Direct To Paper Technique

Hello All:

Every Wednesday over on splitcoaststampers they feature a new technique. This Wednesday's technique is the direct to paper technique. You choose your colors that your going to use. Then you want to from the lightness to the darkest color. Reason being you don't want to mess up your stamp pad. Once you have inked your cardstock then you can stamp your image. I used the new a la carte sail away stamp set. This stamp set is great for masculine cards.

Stamp Sets: Sail Away and Curly Cute

Ink: Black StazonOn, bashful blue, Marina Mist, and Pacific Point

Double Layer T-Shirt

Happy mid week everyone and I hope that all is going well for you.


I was blog surfing this evening and came across a T-shirt card that was created by Darlene McCallum. I kept the colors and the design almost the same. I used a different stamp set and made a double layer t-shirt instead of a single like Darlene's. The card was fun and fast to make. This card could be used for just about any occasion. I chose not to put a sentiment on the card yet.

Stamp Set: Sail Away (summer mini catalog)


Cardstock: Basic Black and Wild Wasabi Designer Paper (Designer Series Subtle Collection)


Accessories: 2 X 1 3/8 Oval Punch, 1 3/4 X 7/ 8 oval punch, Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder (summer mini catalog), Heat Gun, versamark pad and Embossing buddy.


I enjoy stamping clean and simple!!!!
