Artistic Etchings

May Stamp Club Card

Triple Stamping Technique

You can find a great tutorial on the Triple Stamping Technique on Splitcoaststampers.  I followed these instructions using the Artistic Etchings stamp set and the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel to make my card.  

Converting the Wheel to a Clear Mount Stamp

By the way, I don't actually use Very Vintage in it's "wheel form" anymore.  I have taken it off the wheel and use it as a background stamp.  Once again, Stampin' Pretty has a great tutorial on how to take your stamp off the wheel.  Just click HERE. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Artistic Etchings, Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel
Paper:  Early Espress, Calypso Coral, Whisper White,
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso
Accessories:  Natural Ribbon, Early Espresso 1/8" Ribbon, Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, Button, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

Artistic Faux Tile

Just a few things to note about the making of the card.....

I made this card a while ago using the Faux Tile Technique.  Click HERE for a tutorial on how to use this technique. You do have to put quite a bit of Crystal Effects on each square to cover the area.  Plus I let it dry overnight.  I found that Tombo Liquid Glue worked best to adhere the tiles to the Chocolate Chip card stock background.

The ribbon is just pleated with a glue dot stuck behind each pleat.  I have also seen the ribbon without a glue dot but then each pleat sticks up a bit.  A different look, but looks good too.  

Also, to attach the brad, I used my crop-o-dile to punch through all the layers.

Supplies:  

Stamps:  French Foliage, Artistic Etchings, Notably Ornate

Paper:  Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler

Accessories:  Distressing Tool, Crystal Effects, Dimensionals, Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon, Victoria 5/8" Crochet Trim, Very Vanilla 5/8" Jumbo Brad, Glue Dots, Crop-o-dile, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Tombo Liquid Glue
