N is a card from a stamp set or bundle that I have never used before.

O is 4 cards made from a One Sheet Wonder.

P is Pattern Paper technique.

Q is a Quick and Cute card (or fast and easy)!

R is Rip/Torn window card. 

S features an item from our Sale-a-Bration, a free with purchase sale tht ends on Tuesday, 2/28/23.  I used the Songbird Builder punch.

DO Stamping With the Stars #405 Rubberband Technique

Hello my friends and welcome to another Stamping with the Stars hop!  All of the stars (demonstrators) who are participating in this hop will be sharing a unique stamping method call rubberband stamping technique. And, to be honest, at first I was not sold on this style of stamping.  But, after a couple of attempts I ended up with this card. 

The rubberband stamping technique is the white lines in the background.  To achieve this unique effect you take rubberbands and wrap them around an acrylic stamping block like the pictures below.  Then, the rubberbands become your stamp!  You can apply ink to the rubberbands and then stamp on to cardstock.  

After I made a few cards (see below) I thought I would try inking the rubberbands with Versamark and then heat emboss with white embossing powder on to a Basic White Thick cardstock panel.  I then used a blending brush to apply Night of Navy ink.  After, I wiped off the ink from the white lines with a tissue to give the effect of the white lines in the background. This is call embossing resist.  

I really liked how this turned out.  To me it has an Asian feel to it. I used the Heron Habitat Bundle to finish the card. 

Here are a few other attempts with this fun stamping technique.

The card on the right I used smaller rubberbands and used two different ink colors- Sweet Sorbet and Starry Night.  I think it looks very partriotic!  It was my daughter's favorite of the four cards I made. 

Here is another crd I made withthe rubberband-embossing resist using black embossing powder.

DO Stamping With The STARS #404 Sketch Inspiration

 

Welcome to another DO stamping with the Stars Inspiration Hop. After you check out my card be sure to check out the other Stars who are participating in this hop.  Below is today's inspiration. 

And here is my interpretation!

 -+

What is so cool about this Designer Series Paper is the 2 hearts and leaves were punched out from the paper using the Country Bouquet punch!  

I love the sentiment that comes with the Country Bouquet photopolymer stamp set.  And the little hearts that are stamped on the inside panel are just adorable.  I see this will be a stamp set I will use frequently. 

I absolutely LOVE the blue gingham paper.  I think it will make beautiful new baby boy cards!
