Yeti Party!

For this month only, you can get 6 new die sets that coordinate with existing stamp sets.

You can purchase the dies separately, or buy them as a bundle (with the coordinating stamp set) for a 10% discount. This is the Perfect Partners promotion. These dies will be available for this month ONLY and will not appear in any future catalogue. So don't delay!

As I had already purchased the Yeti To Party stamp set, I just HAD to have the Yeti dies.

Of course, if you don't have the stamp set yet, you can purchase the Yeti To Party Bundle and save yourself 10%.

So far, my daughter has used them to make her birthday party invitations, and I have played with the "reverse image technique" to make this card:

Have you tried the Reverse Image or Mirror technique before?

I find it easiest to achieve if using the Stamparatus and a Silicone Craft Sheet (or mat).

Using the Stamparatus, you can stamp the image multiple times on the Silicone Craft sheet in the same place, and then place a piece of cardstock on to the stamped image. Without moving the cardstock, you can stamp again, which you give you a "reversible" image. This also makes it easy to die cut or punch with a coordinating item.

I also gave on of the Yeti's "open" eyes by simply using a black Stampin' Write Marker.

Timeless Tulips with Reversible image technique

I recently watched a technique/tip by fellow Demonstrator Kylie Bertucci showing how to make a reversible or double-sided image - as in, the image is stamped on both sides!

She then made a fun window card using that technique, and this inspired me to pull out my Timeless Tulips stamp set and have a go.

Here is the resulting card (click on the image for a list of products used).

The card opens, and the tulips can be seen from the other side of the "window" stamped in the reverse image so that they could still be punched and fussy cut out.

The bottom of the card has a die cut image for the Eden Dies and the scollop edge along the top is from the Penned Flowers Dies.

I've stamped on the layer under the window so that the tulip images sit directly on each other, but the leaves belong to both images. 

The card can be displayed open like an easel.

It was a fun technique to try and uses both the Stamparatus and Silicone Mat to enable a good image on the reverse side.

Colours used are: Garden Green, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade and Mango Melody.
