Making these Turquoise stamped cards brought me so much joy!
Since discovering the magic of heat embossing in the mid-90s, it's always been one of my favorite techniques. Ladies and gentlemen, get your heat guns ready!
If time wasn't a limitation, I would have kept going and going! Here's a sampling of my "card jam session." Grab a Turquoise POP (pack of panels), and load up your cards with lots of delicious layers.
Turquoise Stamped Cards
Card #1
The metallic gold paper in this collection is absolutely divine! Stamp the sentiment onto a gold panel with India Black ink and allow it to dry completely. Stamp the Red panel with the border image at an angle, in a brick-like fashion. Finish the card with a metallic gold bow and three gems.
Card #2
Stamp the large image onto a white panel with Red ink. (If using a MISTI, repeat inking and stamping until an intense color is achieved.) Next, stamp the same medallion onto a piece of scrap paper or a Post-It note and trim the image with scissors to create a mask. Finally, cover the medallion on the White panel with the mask and apply a soft halo of ink around the image with an applicator brush. Finish the panel with a stamped sentiment and layer onto several mats and a folded card base.
Card #3
To stamp a perfect row of gems, lightly draw a straight line onto a White panel with a grid ruler and pencil. Then, make equally-spaced intersecting marks along the line. Stamp onto each marked spot with India Black ink. Gently erase pencil guides. Next, add Ocean ink to each gem with a small applicator. After completely finishing the card, cover each gem with Glossy Accents and set aside to dry.
Card #4
Stamp the medallion image on Dk. Turquoise paper and heat emboss with copper powder. Cut out the image and trim one straight edge. Stamp the super-useful stone texture onto a Red panel and nest onto a Black panel and folded card base. Add the prepared medallion and a stamped sentiment.
Card #5
Stamp and emboss the rectangular medallion with copper powder on a sheet of watercolor paper. Sprinkle with turquoise Color Burst powder and mist with water. Once dry, trim the image from the sheet and adhere to a prepared card. Add Glossy Accents to the center of the medallion.
Card #6
Swipe remaining liquified ColorBurst powders from a craft sheet with a manila tag and allow it to dry. Stamp the medallion image repeatedly onto the tag with Lagoon ink and incorporate into a card.
Card #7
Stamp the medallion image onto Red paper and add copper embossing powder. Stamp the gem onto a white panel with black ink and trim. Adhere the gem to the center of the medallion and add Glossy Accents. Create a cute sentiment by stamping "hello, friend" onto a narrow paper strip. Fold over the left edge and secure with two brads. Layer the elements onto a White panel stamped with the stone texture.
Card #8
Stamp the medallion onto a piece of watercolor paper and emboss with clear powder. Sprinkle with assorted ColorBurst powders, mist with water, and allow it to dry completely. Trim the image from the sheet and layer onto a Dk. Turquoise panel. Stamp and heat emboss the sentiment onto the panel.
As I mentioned before, I didn't want to stop making cards with this sheet of stamps. I'm really looking forward to sending them to my pals. Grab your own sheet of clear Turquoise stamps while they last.
Happy stamping!
