Today’s Hump Day Lunch Break featured a SIP (Stamps, Ink and Paper) card and 3 different techniques that are easy and fun to do on your paper crafting projects.
(I also have an added Bonus to share of what happens in My Stamp Studio when filming and doing lives. My Buddy, Cooper loves to be near…see the bottom of the post!)
I started with a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ to form my crad base. I then adhered a piece of the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ to the card base. I cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock at 3″ x 4″ and adhered it to the card base at a slight angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I took a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock measuring 3-2/4″ x 3-3/4″ and spritzed water on it using a Stampin’ Spritzer to get the card stock damp but not soaking wet. The I crumbled up the cardstock. This is referred to as the Faux Suede technique. Set it aside to dry. Once dried I peeled apart the cardstock layers one one corner and used Liquid glue to Next I took a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock measuring 3-2/4″ x 3-3/4″ and spritzed water on it using a Stampin’ Spritzer to get the card stock damp but not soaking wet.

Pretty cool hey? Once it dried, I used Liquid Glue to adhere on top of the Evening Evergreen rectangle. Pretty cool hey?
The next technique is called Rock n Roll. I inked the leaf image with Soft Succulent, then I used my Evening Evergreen Ink to rock and roll the stamp pad around the edges of the image so I would just get ink on the tips of the leaves. One tip, it is much easier to do this with a Stampin’ Spot but you can still use the normal size Stamp Pad. Once you have stamped it, fussy cut it out
The third technique used on this card was to stamp the “happiest birthday wishes” sentiment using Evening Evergreen ink on to a 4′ piece of Natural Finish Ribbon (new in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog). The key things here are to use a ribbon that is tightly woven so that the ink will stay on the fabric and not go through it. Also I used Tear and Tape to adhere the ribbon to the front of the card.

This is my Buddy, my Pal and our youngest child. Cooper! He loves to be with me- but only when he wants and it always seem to be when I am stamping. (maybe I am stamping a little too much) When it’s playtime or time for cuddles he is all in, but if you are not when he is here the shenanigans begin.
This not so little guy is about 65 pounds of sassy. He will tug at my socks or lick my toes while I am doing my lives to see if he can get my attention. And when he can’t this is what happens under my craft table.
Thanks for stopping by to visit.
Come again soon as I am always posting new things!
