Sneak Peek: Wish

Hi friends! It’s Zsofi here today and I am sharing a sneak peek of the Wish stamp set. It is an incredibly versatile set full of small images besides the big sentiment and it comes with a coordinating die set. I made several cards to show you how many different ways you can use this set.

New release will be available February 8th.

For my first card I stamped the big Wish sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink in the middle of Bristol Smooth cardstock which measures 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I love the raised edges and in this way I can be sure that I will not smear the ink while doing some ink blending.

I masked off the sides of the cardstock with masking tape and used Distress Oxide inks with a blending brush to give it some colour: Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers. Then I squeezed some ink on my glass mat and painted the images using a clear shimmer pen as a paintbrush. It gives a tone-on-tone sparkly look, I love it!

I cut down the panel tiny and gave it a blue violet mat. I also white heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and cut it down to be a thin strip. I used 3D foam squares to pop it up. I finished the card by adding glossy accents to emphasize some details.

CARD #2

For my second card I white heat embossed the big Wish sentiment on Bristol Smooth cardstock and did a quick ink blending with Distress Oxide inks: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and I also cut it from black cardstock to create a shadow for the sentiment. I simply adhered the black letters tiny offset behind the inked ones.

I used the Scallop Borders die set to cut down a piece of white cardstock, I love the stitching detail. I used another die from the same set to cut the scalloped border and blended it with Picked Raspberry ink. This way it surely matches the sentiment in colour. I added some diluted ink and gold splatters to the white background, stamped a sentiment on the top from the Wish stamp set and adhered the letters.

I used the new Streamer stencils to add a fun black pattern to the card base before popping up the focal panel.

CARD #3

As the Wish stamp set has a lot of small images, I wanted to create a fun shaker card using those: I cut the coordinating Wish die in the middle of a piece of white cardstock and stamped the small images around. Using a stamp positioner makes this process super-fast. I quickly coloured them with Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers but without shading, just very simple colouring. When I was done, I used a black Memento marker on the die cut edges, I gives it a very thin border.

I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the coloured panel and added 3D foam tape around the window. I used a light purple card base and poured some Funfetti Mix to the middle and assembled the shaker.

I white heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock. I used the coordinating die for one of them – I love die cutting stamped sentiments! The other one I cut down to be a thin strip and adhered both to the window.

As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen to make some elements sparkly.
