Simple Stamping to make some Quick Cards | Not 2 Shabby

0:06
hi guys this is Debbie with Debbie j’s
0:08
crafting corner today I am doing another
0:11
design team project for not 2 shabby
0:20
and I’m using the be salty stamp set now
0:23
this is a really cute stamp set with
0:25
this nice beachy scene which
0:29
I love it mostly because you know what i
0:30
live in Florida I keep changing my mind
0:32
about which way I want these to go what
0:34
I’m going to do is I’m using one of the
0:35
backgrounds that I made in a crafty live session
0:40
about like two, three, four months ago I’m
0:42
using some stamping foam and I’m going
0:45
to basically stamp out my image on top
0:48
of that. I think that will work
0:56
I’ve actually done one a little a little
0:58
bit ago um previously and I forgot to
1:01
turn on the camera so you didn’t get
1:03
to see what I was doing and I pretty much
1:06
finished up this is a really quick and
1:08
easy car too and
1:10
this okay I need to move my stamp
1:15
so I just put the acetate over the top
1:18
where I want this to be positioned
1:20
and just lay that on top and then I’ll
1:22
pick it up with the top of my misti
1:26
and we should be good to go
1:28
go ahead and put some more
1:30
some more versafine onyx black ink down
1:37
and straighten my card
1:47
yeah I think I like that I’m going to go
1:49
ahead and put
1:51
another coat
1:59
and then I’m going to cover that in some
2:01
clear embossing powder from wow
2:05
because it is
2:07
mostly anti-static it shouldn’t have any
2:09
problem
2:11
on my card let’s go ahead and heat that up
2:20
okay so now I have these three panels
2:25
and I think that they all look pretty
2:27
cute but I think what I’m going
2:28
to do is I’m going to add a little bit
2:30
of color not a lot but just a little bit
2:33
to some of the different areas I don’t
2:35
want to take away from that
2:37
like black on color look I don’t even
2:39
know what to call it but I do like it
2:42
but I do want to add a little bit
2:45
to these different areas
2:47
I’m going to start off with some green
2:49
this is the ag-1 which is one of my
2:52
lightest and just add that
2:54
just a little bit of quick coloring over
2:56
the fronds of my palm tree
3:09
and do the same thing on the other cards
3:21
and I like the look that this is
3:23
giving
3:26
the colors are a little bit variegated
3:28
because of that
3:29
color in the
3:30
background so I don’t know that i
3:32
actually need to add any additional
3:35
colors because you’re not really going
3:37
to be seeing the shading
3:40
for instance, this one has got the pink
3:42
behind the green
3:44
so it turns the leaves a little bit
3:46
brownish
3:53
and this one because it has so much
3:55
of that dark blue behind it kind of
3:57
looks like the dark blue is a shadow on
3:59
top of my leaves I think these are
4:01
looking gonna look kind of cool
4:04
okay so let me grab a light
4:07
a lightish brown
4:18
that’s kind of a medium but I think
4:20
that’ll still work and I’m going to just
4:22
come down
4:25
and get a little bit of shadow on these
4:30
I’m not even going to bother with
4:32
coloring in the rest of it it’ll be kind
4:34
of like
4:37
some odd highlights
4:39
this is kind of an artsy look I don’t
4:40
really do that a whole lot but I am
4:42
liking it
4:51
okay I do need a little bit of grass on
4:53
each of these down here at the bottom
4:55
so let me do a little bit of flipping of that
5:08
okay
5:13
and then let’s see
5:16
I’ve got the beach
5:18
and then I’ve got the surfboard so what
5:20
do I want to do with those
5:23
I think for the beach I’m going to use a
5:25
golden brown
5:28
and this is like the lightest of those
5:44
that looks kind of interesting
6:16
what’s really neat is you don’t know
6:18
what they’re going to look like with the
6:19
different colors behind them
6:22
and each one has a little bit of a
6:23
different look
6:25
that is kind of cool
6:29
I’m going to bring in a little bit of a darker
6:32
of the yellow just to give a little bit
6:34
of accent
6:36
a little shade underneath each of my
6:38
surfboards
6:48
okay and then
6:51
what do we want to do with surfboards
6:55
I’m thinking I’m going to just go in
6:57
with a little bit of gray for some
6:59
shadow
7:10
do
7:52
do
8:05
do
8:49
so next I’m going to trim down the edges
8:52
here and I am giving it about a quarter
8:55
inch
8:57
from
8:59
the edge of where my stamping foam was
9:02
and that also has left me a little bit
9:04
of space for where
9:05
my trees
9:09
kind of
9:10
went beyond the edge I think that’s
9:12
going to look kind of good
9:14
let me go ahead and trim down all three
9:16
of these
9:18
okay next I need to add a sentiment so i
9:21
decided I’m going to use the sending
9:23
sunshine but I think instead of using
9:26
black embossing for this one I’m going
9:28
to emboss it in a little bit of gold and
9:34
I want to make sure it doesn’t stick
9:37
after all of that
9:39
I don’t want it to stick in the wrong
9:40
spots although you know gold scattered
9:43
probably wouldn’t look too bad
9:45
and I think what I’m going to use is this
9:48
old recollections I am starting to wear
9:50
it down a little bit which is good and
9:52
I’m using my wow clear embossing ink
9:56
I can see some on there where that
9:58
stamping has done well
10:03
okay for a minute I thought I had the
10:05
stamp upside down that would kind of
10:07
suck
10:08
so let’s take a look see how this one
10:10
does
10:22
and it would do better if this was
10:24
actually fine embossing powder and it
10:26
may have been fine embossing powder when
10:28
I got it
10:29
supposed to be but it’s been about
10:32
four years
10:36
and there’s no telling how much other
10:37
stuff has kind of gotten stuck in it
10:46
and I’m heating it from behind because i
10:48
don’t really want any of it to blow off
10:51
which has happened before okay so now
10:53
we’ve got that shiny sentiment now you
10:56
do have to tilt it in the light a little
10:57
bit to see it just because that’s kind
10:59
of what gold does but I think that’s
11:01
going to look pretty good let me go
11:03
ahead and get the other two cards done
11:06
okay now I am going to mount these guys
11:09
down on some black cardstock
11:12
and I want to add a little bit
11:15
extra
11:18
I’m going to try it anyway
11:21
so there is a
11:22
a ridge on my paper trimmers
11:26
um thumb guard and I’m going to line up
11:30
the edge of the white with that part so
11:32
that it adds just a little bit more of a
11:34
black border around or at least that’s
11:36
what I’m going to attempt to do and see
11:38
how that one looks I may decide that
11:40
that is still too much of a border and
11:43
go ahead and trim it down some more
11:46
okay
11:47
so this one I’m gonna put on a yellow
11:49
card base and that is actually still too
11:52
big
11:54
so let’s go ahead and trim it down to
11:57
that little 16th that I usually go with
12:11
so it’s got that little pop of black
12:16
that doesn’t have too much it doesn’t
12:18
have too little
12:20
i figured that would probably look
12:22
pretty good
12:25
surrounding that image I do think that
12:27
that black helps it pop a little
12:28
bit and with the whole tropical vibe the
12:31
fact that this water this paper is still
12:33
is a little warped that is perfectly
12:35
fine I did try flattening it out a
12:36
little bit but I think this is going to
12:38
work just fine anyway let me go ahead
12:40
and trim these other two down
12:43
so next I’m going to add some foam to
12:45
the back now this is just some scraps
12:47
that I have of some old fun foam I’m
12:49
trying to use up the last of and it is
12:52
disappearing pretty quick which is good
12:58
because I figure that is some space that
13:01
I’ve had in my storage in my crafty
13:04
storage that I could use for something
13:06
else
13:08
instead of for
13:10
scraps of foam that I was not ever going
13:12
to be using
13:18
just adding a little bit of liquid glue
13:21
to the back of those
13:27
and what’s funny is it’s only taken me
13:29
about i’d say probably about a week to
13:33
go through all of this
13:35
to go through all of the scraps that i
13:37
had basically just pieces and parts of
13:40
different ones
13:41
okay so while that is getting good and
13:44
set let me go ahead and add this so some
13:46
of my foam has adhesive on the back and
13:48
some of it doesn’t so since this one
13:50
has the adhesive I’ll go ahead and add
13:53
that
13:54
to the back of my card front
14:12
do
14:26
okay and then I’ll just add some more
14:28
liquid glue to the back
14:31
on top of those foam strips and that way
14:33
i can just center it right in the middle
14:36
of my card
14:38
and making sure that it opens the
14:40
direction that I’m expecting it to
14:42
kind of sucks to get everything done and
14:44
then turns out that your card is
14:46
actually upside down
14:50
and crooked
14:53
but since it’s liquid glue I can shift
14:55
it around a little bit when I mess up
14:59
and because I just love my little bit of
15:02
bling I’m going to go ahead and add a
15:04
few little crystal gems to each of these
15:06
cards
15:16
and I think that these guys turned out
15:18
pretty cute even though I used them in a
15:22
different kind of way something i
15:24
wouldn’t have thought of doing it before
15:25
and I hope that this inspires you to get
15:27
out some of those background panels that
15:30
you have had sitting in your stash for
15:32
months if not years and just give
15:35
a little bit of extra new life to them by
15:37
adding a
15:39
stamp of some sort on there you guys can
15:41
do this I mean if I can do it you can
15:43
too so be sure to check out this video
15:46
over here where I’m using some other
15:48
products from not too shabby and you
15:50
guys have a wonderful day and again
15:54
remember if I can make it you can too
15:56
have a great day
