Woodware: It's All About the Curves!

The Woodware team are playing with our first challenge of 2016..."Scallops, Curves, and Polka Dots", and my project today features a bit of all three. I've used the Stampendous Creative Palette to create the background for my beautiful blossoms, by squirting drops of Dreamweaver Color Solutions alcohol inks and its thinner on the palette, and letting the colors swirl. I placed panels of the Mixed Media White cardstock over the inks, and pulled them off, before cleaning a the palette with a bit of warm, soapy water, and letting it air dry. (There will be a bit of staining, but it will remain transparent.) The panels dry almost immediately, so I was able to stamp a bit of the "bubble wrap" design from Nathalie Kalbach's "Grunge" set in gray ink, and several of the leaves and blossoms from the Perfectly Clear Build a Bouquet stamps and dies sets. Part of these were adhered and layered to the front of my gray card along with stamped sentiments, polka dot paper, and ribbon.

Inside is really the star of the show with these Pop Up Die cards from Stampendous. The Die set includes oodles of ways to play...A large die that creates the fold for inside the card, and several fold outs to adhere your creations for amazing dimension! The set even includes dies for edging in scallops, and oval and rectangle tags for your sentiments, like the great Perfectly Clear set for "Sisters".

 

I stamped and adhered a round "doily" design from Nathalie Kalbach's Cling "Kaffee Klatsch", under the thin plastic "vase" for my flowers.

By the way, the Woodware Blog has changed it's address, so here is the new link.

Frolicking in the Forest with Stampendous

The new Stampendous Cling Pop Up Forest set of stamps and matching dies (sold separately), are so much fun to play with! Reminds me of playing with Colorforms® as a child. Lol. All you have to do is stamp the images, color them (I used my awesome set of Chameleon Markers), and match up their dies to cut each out using your favorite die-cut/embossing machine. To add to the charm, I used the Stampendous Pop Up Die set to enable me to add more dimension to my creation as you can see in the side view pics. Gotta love the perfect sentiment for this card as well! Whoooooo wouldn't love this fun pop up card? It's clever like a fox, and not too squirrelly. Just a forest of fabulosity!
