Stretch Your Stamps 2 - post 1

So I signed up for another Online Card Class, this time it was Stretch Your Stamps 2.  I previously won a spot in their Stenciled class at the beginning of the year and it was great.  This one was great too but I didn't play along like I did last time.  I still fully recommend taking the classes!!

I am going to post multiple things in each post so I can load them to the proper gallery.

Day 1 - Lesson 1 - Multilayer Emboss Resist.  This technique was to use a background stamp with embossing and then water color.  Then to take your background piece and cut it up for different cards and different uses. 

Card 1 - supplies:

• Canson Watercolor Paper
• Versamark Ink
• Hero Arts clear embossing powder
• Artist Loft Watercolor
• Papertrey Ink Journal Accessories (I don't have many background stamps at all so I used border stamps)
• PTI Wonderful Words Birthday stamp set and die
• Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock
• Tombow Adhesive
• Versafine Black Onyx

Day 8 - Lesson 3 - Create a Border.  This technique was to use a graphic stamp to create a background.

Only card - supplies:

• Simon Says Stamps - Cupcake Party, largest star
• PTI Signature Greetings - Girly You Rock
• Cuttlebug Embossing folder - don't know the name
• Stampin Up Pink Passion Ink
• PTI Soft Stone Ink
• Versafine Black Onyx 

Day 10 - Lesson 2 - DIY Stamped Letter Embellishment.  This technique was to use a floral stamp to create a nice subtle background then stamp a color ink on white and mount the letters (or my case word dies) on fun foam for dimension.

Card 1 - supplies:

• PTI Wonderful Words Birthday die
• PTI Summer Sunrise ink and paper
• Versamark for the background stamping
• White fun foam
• Cuttlebug
• PTI Stamper Select White cardstock
• Ranger Multi Matte Medium for adhesive
• Lawn Fawn Mixed Sequins

Day 11 - Lesson 1 - Layered Heat Embossing.  This technique was to create a fun embellishment centerpiece by using one color embossing powder for the background and then stamping a design/sentiment on top and using a different color being very careful to not overheat the top layer so it melts in just right.  I absolutely loved this one and will be doing it again!!

Only card - supplies:

• Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large dies - largest two
• Cuttlebug
• PTI Wet Paint Sentiment - enjoy
• Cuttlebug Scrollwork embossing folder
