Sneak Peek - My First Share from the 2019 Occasions Catalog!

I love creating cards & gift packaging for Christmas, but I'm ready to move on to something different!  The 2019 Occasions catalog has so many gorgeous new products, not to mention the Sale-a-Bration offerings (squeal of delight!)  Here's my first card using one of the new stamp sets:


The stamp set is called Humming Along - available January 3.  There is a gorgeous hummingbird in this set too - hence the name.  I colored the image with my Stampin' Blends.


The "Thank you" was stamped using 2 different techniques - masking and the hinge-step Stamparatus technique. It's much simpler than it sounds!  First, stamp the flower image in Memento Tuxedo Black on your card front.  Then stamp it a second time on a large Post-It note and fussy-cut it out.  Place the Post-It over the stamped image on the card front - you've just created the mask.

Now, place the card front on the Stamparatus.  Secure it in place with a magnet.  Place the "Thank you" where you would like the first image stamped (near the top of the card).  Stamp it, then lift the Stamparatus plate and move it down one notch on the hinges.  Stamp again.  Repeat until you have stamped it 4 times.  Remove the mask from the hibiscus image and color with your Stampin' Blends.  That's it - you're ready to mount it on your card base!
