I've had lots of fun "klompendansing" around the craft table this week with the Delft Unmounted Stamps!
Here's a review of the cards I created:
JUMBO UM
CARD #1
Stamp the tile image with Sapphire ink and cover each tile with glossy accents. (Do this step last and set the card aside to dry completely.) Stamp the small crackle image onto the Lt. Blue card panel.
CARD #2
Create four square pieces of artwork, cover each one with clear embossing ink, sprinkle with ultra thick embossing powder, and heat to melt.
CARD #3
Stamp the house and windmill images onto Yellow and Lt. Blue Plain card panels and stamp in a row on a White card panel. Cut out the Yellow and Lt. Blue windows with a craft knife or detail scissors and adhere to to the White panel. The lights are on . . . somebody's home! (Don't forget to add a tiny, hand-cut heart coming out of the chimney!)
CARD #4
Add windows trimmed from Yellow paper to the windmill. The tile frame is designed to fit several of the images and sentiments on the Jumbo UM sheet.
CARD #5
Mask a 1.75" area of a White card panel with Post-it Notes. Stamp the background and shade with Sapphire ink. Remove the mask and finish with a nested, stamped sentiment.
ART NOUVEAU UM
CARD #1
Brayer Sapphire and Topaz ink onto a white card panel. Add rows of stamped images and highlight with colored pencils.
CARD #2
Stamp the tulip image four times onto a White square, rotating the image from the center. Shade details with colored pencils, mat and nest onto a card base.
CARD #3
Fill in the centers of the stamped flowers with a white gel pen.
CARD #4
Create an oversized matchbox measuring 3x4.5". The outside art panel features the numbers within the frames stamped on Dk. Blue with White Pigment ink. The drawer of the matchbox slides out to reveal the number four.
GREETING UM
CARD #1
Stamp the adorable wooden shoes onto the bottom of the card, create a mask for the shoes, and finish with the stamped borders and sentiments.
CARD #2
Create some wooden shoe "faux postage" stamped onto Dk. Blue with White Pigment ink. Be sure to heat set to prevent smearing.
CARD #3
Wooden shoe like to have some colorful wooden shoes? They're actually quite comfortable as long as you're wearing thick socks.
CARD #4
Place Post-it Notes into each corner of a card panel at a 45-degree angle and stamp the border image along the edge of the panel. Replace the masks on the three remaining sides and stamp to finish the perfect frame.
I guess I'll end this post by mentioning that my sink is clogged.
(Obviously, that pun didn't make the cut.)
Happy stamping!
