Crafting Materials and Techniques

For this session, we’ll be using a variety of products from Stampin’ Up to create stunning cards. Here’s a detailed list of the materials you’ll need:

Materials:

  • Paper:
    • 2024–2026 In Color™ Glimmer Specialty Paper & Designer Paper
    • 163797 – Summer Splash 8-1/2″ X 11 Cardstock
    • 163799 – Peach Pie 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock
  • Ink:

Techniques to Explore

  1. Stamping Off:
    • This technique involves inking your stamp, stamping it once on scrap paper, and then stamping it onto your project without re-inking. This creates a lighter, second-generation image, adding depth and texture to your design.
  2. Layering Die-Cuts:
    • Use the Flowers Of Beauty Bundle and Unbounded Love Bundle to create layered die-cut elements. This adds dimension and interest to your cards.
