Clear Block Stamping

2 Comments

Clear Block Stamping gives me the freedom to express myself in ways that no one can understand.   I am not an artist nor do I have the abilities that others in my family possess.

I have been using this technique since 2015 with a few of my cards in the past, but have been discouraged by a few for using this method.  Why….

I use the Stampin’ UP! Clear Blocks A and G to create my technique onto the Whisper White Card Stock.  For this card, I only used Clear Block A.

I knew in my mind that I wanted to create a scene with Fall Colors as that is what is happening here in NC.   While most of our trees are Pine, we do have some leaf bearing trees.

This particular card I gave to my husband today for a  special Birthday – #69.

The bird in the nest, the squirrel, and the leaves are dies that I purchased from Dies by Dave.

I also used Tranquil Tide Cardstock, item 144246, which I neglected to include in the product display below.

Enjoy before Winter arrives.

A post for Sunday will provide you with directions and photographs for each step.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

All of these products are in my online store.

Thank you for stopping by.

See you on  Sunday around 2 PM EST.

To love what we do and share what we love

Leave a comment

Stampin’ UP!’s Statement of the Heart states, “To love what we do and share what we love, as we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments… in this we make a difference.”

Creativity is anything that you want it to be.   Everyone has it, you just have to believe in yourself.  We are not all perfect, but that is what is so much fun — most of my cards are a little crooked, but that is just me.   No matter how hard I try to line up my sentiments straight, they always out of alignment.

For those of us that prefer to shop online, the Stampin’ UP! Catalogs are just what you are looking for.  Some people like looking at clothes catalogs, but I have always enjoyed going to a hardware store — I know, Stampin’ UP! is not a hardware store, but it has everything you can imagine inside it.  Why would you want to purchase a “flat” card at the grocery store, the post office, or a box store, when you can make it yourself.   The surprise and delight the recipient will see when they open that envelope.

I love looking through the Stampin’ UP! Annual catalog at all the coordinating products is so exciting.  The color choices are endless — Cardstock, Designer Series Paper (DSP), Ink Pads, Refill Ink Bottles, Ribbons, Markers, Embellishments, and more.   Wait until you see the Stamp Sets, Punches, the Framelits and Thinlits that require the Big Shot to Die Cut all the beautiful shapes.   Even looking at the adhesive will get you excited because there are different types for different projects.

If you have never heard of Stampin’ UP! and would like to receive a copy of the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog, please leave a message with your email address so I can contact you.  This offer is only available within the USA.

Thank you for stopping by.
