stamp review crew: tasteful touches

Hello crafty friends! I’m here with the Stamp Review Crew for a fun blog hop featuring the Tasteful Touches stamp set. This is a fun and versatile set. At first glance, it looks like it is only for vintage-y type projects, but let you creativity loose and see it can be so much more.

I am getting desperate for spring, unfortunately I’m in MN and that is still a ways off. My projects this time of year seem to work to bring spring into my house as much as I can. I went with a bright springtime color combo of Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, and Coastal Cabana.

For my first card, embossed the flower image with white embossing powder on white card stock. Then, I did some ink blending with Stampin’ Up!’s new blending brushes.

I took the Opal Rounds embellishments and colored them with the coordinating Stampin’ Blends. A fun springtime Hello.

My next card has a similar blended background, but this time I achieved it with water coloring.

I did a light watercolor wash of the three colors. Once dry, I stamped the lace like image in each color. Then I took a watercolor brush over the stamped images to blur them out some.

A fun springtime duo to showcase a great stamp set! Now, it is time for you to continue through the blog hop. You can move on to Charlet by clicking the NEXt button below. Or, if you are doing the hop in reverse, you can head over to Cindy by clicking the PREVIOUS button below.

I have a couple more projects featuring the Berry Blessings stamp set. This set is part of a bundle – includes stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper – you can get with a $100 order. This time I am focusing just on the stamp set. Let’s see what we can do…

For this first card, I used the blueberries stamp and some ink blending with the new Blending Brushes to create a fun background.

I used Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape and Rich Razzleberry inks. First I blended them on a piece of Basic White card stock, then I stamped the berries. This panel is cut with a Stitched Rectangle die as is the sentiment. Finished off with a few Opal Rounds.

For my next card, I took the berry fill in stamp and went in a totally different direction.

I stamped the berries in Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie, and Crushed Curry to create fun dotted panel. The rest of the details on the card come from the Pattern Play stamp set. The gray is actually silver embossed.
