Hi, happy halloween! for those of you who take part in all things pumkin and ghoulie. Some years I feel more in the mood than others but this year I'm really not getting in the spirit. So have fun if you are.
Today I'm showing you two of the cards from my IB display from my demo at the weekend. This one above uses the Floral Swirl Stamp and the Antique Songbird Stamp. I've used Distress Inks to colour the card and also the sticky labels that I've stamped the image onto.
I can't tell you how many people asked me about this card. It seems not many had ever done this technique before. I however how been stamping onto labels for quite some years.
When you have coloured the labels stamp your design. Make sure all inks are dry before you lift them off and position them onto black card. If you don't press them down too hard you will be able to lift them again if they are not straight.
It won't matter how big the gaps are on the label sheet because you can place them however close you want. You can cut the black card to size first or trim to fit afterwards. It's up to you.
Have to say this stamp was the first sellout of the day, but I'm not surprised as it was very popular when I used it to decorate a candle. Have you done that technique I wonder????? Do I see a quick tutorial coming on........
What lovely cards.....the design, images & colours are all fab....great stamps xx

The poppies get you all every time girls. I could design poppy cards for every demo and class and they would always sell like hot cakes.
ReplyDeleteI thought you would like the other one more???
They are both beautiful but I especially like the first one that is stunning.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Pauline, super designs, I love both but the poppies just a tad more. Hugs P xxx

love them both!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love both cards sweetie, I used to stamp on labels/tabs but haven't done it for a long long time, I used to print onto labels too, its a fantastic technique and you have done it well here, hugs, V xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, yes to the candle tutorial please x
ReplyDeletePs. What kind of labels do you use? Thx
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, you can use any of the sticky price labels, printer labels, any you can find. Try buying them from stores like Wilkinsons, home bargains, and the pound shops as they are cheaper than a stationers usually.
DeletePick any size but look at the stamp design and work out wether the image needs to be on larger or smaller labels.
Two fabulous projects. What a brilliant idea to stamp onto labels
