Brilliantly Big Roses and Brilliantly Big Bundles Offer !

We are having an amazing summer here in the Bryson Household.  Mr B and I have been working in the garden with the help of Jack Jnr, and not only are we making the garden as safe as can be for Jack, but we have finished removing huge trees and bushes, to give us room for planting.

I adore roses, and this year, my roses have started coming up a treat – lots of buds and blooms, and the most beautiful smell you can imagine.  I even bought some miniature tea roses from Aldi for £1.29 and they are absolutely full of heads – one at the moment has 8 heads on it !    (ignore the wooden board at the back of the tea rose, that’s to stop Jack from escaping)!

Anyway …. on to Stampin’ Up! News !

There has never been a better time to invest in the Big Shot. With the upcoming launch of the Autumn/Winter catalogue (end of August), you will kick yourself if you don’t own one. The Autumn/Winter catalogue has even more matching stamp and framelit sets, and unique Stampin’ Up! only dies. *heart*

Tutorial Time & Reminders !

I am always being asked (thank you for asking), how to do certain techniques.  It made me think that it's a long time since I've given you any 'usable' freebies, and also, that there are lots of new stampers who don't know where to start, so I am repeating my Technique Series - yay !

At the bottom of the post, I will leave you a link to a You Tube video, just in case you are a visual learner, and prefer to 'see' it rather than 'read it'.  Just to let you know that they aren't my videos (why repeat what is already there) ? besides which, I have them all in document format, so if there is a technique that you are looking for, then please email me, and I'll check if I have it or not.

Anyway, on to today's technique, and back to basics !

3D Stamping

Create a 3D look by over stamping your solid image with a slightly darker ink.

Supplies

• Stamps
• Cardstock 
• White Pigment Ink (or other bright white ink)
• Stamp-a-ma-jig (or other stamp positioner)
• Dye Ink to match cardstock used

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

S Stamp your image using white pigment ink onto coloured cardstock.

S Step 2

Let the pigment/craft ink dry, or heat set.

Step 3

Line your positioning sheet up with the corner of your Stamp-a-ma-jig (SAMJ). 

Ink the image you just used with dye ink. 

Line it up with your SAMJ and stamp image on your positioning sheet.

Step 4

Place the positioning sheet over the white stamped image, slightly off-center from the white image.   If you don’t have a positioning sheet or SAMJ, then you will need to do this step by using your ‘eye’

Place the SAMJ along the imaging sheet.

Step 5

Remove positioning sheet. 

Line stamp up with the SAMJ and stamp image over the white image with dye ink.

Step 6

Your stamped image should now give you the illusion of being 3D embossed.

Step 7

Finish your project.
