Background Stamping

 

 I've got a card to share with you today- and it all started with a cool background stamp.  I decided to make some paper blooms to correspond with some of the stamped  images.  I also added some fun mixed media techniques - so I've got a tutorial to share with you, how I created this piece.

 

Start with WorldWin Papers new Parchment paper.  This already created some texture and depth.  

 

Use a mask and spray Art Anthology's Fern Leaf Colorations.

Position the mask to spray the un-inked areas with the Guacamole Colorations.

 

 Outline around some of the diamonds using a gold Sharpie marker.

Stamp the French Rose background stamp with watermark ink and heat emboss with a brown powder.  Use a paintbrush and the Colorations sprays to paint the areas of the design within the embossed lines.

Die cut a frame from WorldWin's Kromekote copper and emboss.

Rub some Art Anthology Velvet paint in Lagoon over the copper frame to give it an oxidized appearance.

Die cut flowers and shape them on a foam mat.

Add a little Art Anthology Sorbet (Dazzle) on the flower petals to give a little glittery effect.

Spray a little bit of the Vineyard Colorations on your work mat, and dip the tips of the petals in this.

Stamp the Elegant Fronds stamp on the DoubleMates (Berry Red) cardstock. Cut rolled flowers from the stamped paper.

Put the card together as shown.

Altered Printer's Tray - Naughty or Nice?

Good morning, WorldWin Fans! I know that most of the time we share "cardstock heavy" projects with you here. However, I wanted to share how you can combine several bits of the different types of WorldWin cardstocks into ONE great project! WorldWin has so many great papers to choose from!

I am a huge fan of altering "stuff." I have had this little 7 Gypsies printer's tray in my stash for a while, and I got the 7 Gypsies Santa's Journey 8x8 paper pad from my guest design spot at CropStop,com. Perfecto!  

This tray is 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches in size, which is great for a weekend project. I placed some of the Santa's Journey paper into the largest opening, and then matted the Santa image (cut from another piece of the paper) onto Petallics Wine Cup cardstock. Santa is attached with foam tape to the center of the opening.

I created a Christmas "spray" around the edge of the tray with die cut shapes (Couture Creations Missoni die) and a few other odds and ends. I cut the "vine" from Kromekote Silver cardstock. I rubbed the die cut shape with some sandpaper to "rough it up" a bit.

I die cut a paper rosette (Tim Holtz Rosette) from the Petallics Wine Cup cardstock, and then rubbed it with some white ink. I cut the ornament (Spellbinders Mix n Match Ornaments) from Kromekote Silver and White cardstock, and then backed it with a circle of the Wine Cup. It seems a bit fussy, but...so pretty and sparkly! I topped the ornament with some "rustic" twine and a Newsprint Candi Dot.

I found the sparkly pine cones in the craft store last year, and naturally purchased a whole bin of them! They make a great accent!

I fussy cut the Nice list is from the Santa's Journey paper. I used various layers of foam tape to attach the list, making it look "rolled and wrinkled." 

I die cut a reindeer (Tim Holtz mini reindeer) from Kraft cardstock. I rubbed the shape with some white ink. I cut a little tag for this corner of the tray. I stamped a sentiment on the tiny tag. Who knew I had stamps that tiny?! I added some Glossy Accents to the "25" to make it shiny.

For the middle opening, I embossed a small piece of the Wine Cup metallic cardstock (Couture Creations Jolly Christmas folder), then added a postage image that I fussy cut from the designer paper, and a bit of bling I found in my stash.  

For the last opening, I filled a bottle cap with Glossy Accents, and placed silver bells and some white and red microbeads inside. (Once the glue dries, the items stay in place.) I fussy cut another postage image for this area.

You can see that I only used bits and pieces of cardstock, but what a festive and shimmery impact! I hope you enjoyed my project for today. For a full supply list, see below.

White Christmas

Clean and simple cards (CAS) are all the rage these days. I confess that this is a style that I am not very good at, but I think this card shows my own version of CAS.

I created a card with the ColorMates Original Deep Berry Red Cardstock. I trimmed a scrap of printed paper to decorate the top of the card. This card design is a great way to use up paper scraps!

I embossed WorldWin Paper Kromekote White cardstock with the Couture Creations Peaceful Ornaments folder. I trimmed off the bottom portion of the embossed image so that only the ornaments are visible. I made sure that the embossed cardstock and the printed paper were the correct size for my card front, and then I tied a green seam binding ribbon around the seam before attaching the panels to the card front.

I added self-adhesive gemstones to each of the embossed ornaments. You need some bling at Christmas!

I added a sentiment, which is one of my very own stamp designs, put out by Hampton Art. I stamped onto Heritage White cardstock and cut out the sentiment with a shaped die template. I rubbed the edges of the sentiment with green ink.

I lined the card with more of the Heritage White cardstock.

I hope you are inspired to create some quick and easy and trendy Christmas cards! Thanks for joining me today!

Clean and Simple Kromekote Card

Hey there, it's Katrina on the blog today.  I just have a quick card share with some Colormates Textured  and Kromekote papers.

I only used three papers on this card, but a clean and simple card was the best way to show how beautiful the Kromekote papers are.  I used Kromekote papers in Brushed Silver and White Lizard.  For the card base I used Colormates Textured card stock in Aqua Ribbon.

I knew I wanted to emboss the Brushed Silver Kromekote, but I didn't want it to be overpowering.  I found this Quikutz embossing folder in my stash and thought it would be perfect for an everyday card.

Supplies:  Cardstock-WorldWin Papers (Aqua Ribbon Colormates Textured), Kromekote in Brushed Silver and White Lizard; Ribbon-May Arts; Letters-Jillibean Soup; Embossing Folder-Quikutz (Bubbles)

Here is a close up of the detail on the White Lizard Kromekote paper.  I loved how this paper cut and embossed. 

So, quite the impact, with just a little embossing and little touches here and there.  I am thinking that Kromekote will make some great tags for Christmas presents!  OR, maybe ornaments to hang on the tree!

Thanks for stopping by today on the WorldWin Papers blog!

WOW Card - Using WorldWin Papers for Texture

Hi, it's Gini and I've got a WOW card to share with you today - which simply means a White on White card.  I think the trick to creating an all white card is to use lots of textures - so I pulled out all kinds of WorldWin Papers to give this card lots of visual interest.

I can never decide the best way to photograph these all white cards, so I've given you a couple of different shots.

 

 Let's talk about the layers.  The base is a 5 x 7 Colormates Smooth Cardstock in Heritage White.  The next layer is Pearlescent Paper in the Swirl pattern.  It was edged with a bead of Fairy Dust Glitter. The next layer was diecut from Petallics Cardstock in Beargrass using Spellbinder's Nobel Rectangle. The center rectangle  was cut using the same die, this time using the Kromekote papers, and embossed using the Spellbinder's M-Bossabilities folder - Butterfly Kisses.  I am completely in love with how spectacular the Kromekote paper embosses. The next layer was die cut using JustRite/Spellbinders Vintage Labels Six dies - using the Swirl Pearlescent paper again.  I added a little bit of the Fairy Dust Glitter to the stenciling areas of the die.  I used the same die set to cut the small oval using Translucent Vellum, that I heat embossed with white powder using JustRite's Fleuriste Newsprint Background Stamp.  The banner was cut from the Kromekote paper using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.  The sentiment is from JustRite's Seeds of Summer Clear Stamp set.  It was stamped and heat embossed to seal the ink. The flowers were made using Translucent Vellum and cut with Spellbinders Rose Creations.  Of course, I added glitter to the petals.  The leaves were cut from Spellbinders Foliage using the Swirl paper. Whew! That is a lot of layering, but the results are worth it!

 

 

Birthday Blessings

Hi, it's Gini and I'm back to share a card that I created combining some of my favorite WorldWin papers.

I used WorldWin Papers Matte Gold Kromekote paper cobined with the shades of purple to create a regal feel for this card.  I stamped and embossed the smaller image from Violette Vintage Labels twice - and colored them with gelatos.  I butted them up next to each other to form a larger shape, and layered that with JustRite's/Spellbinders Antique Labels One die.  I stamped the sentiment from Vintage Filagree Fancies, and embossed it with gold powder.

I love how this card turned out! It really has so much depth and texture and was so fun to create!

Trick or Treat with Kromekote

Hello! Gloria with you again. The team is sharing the NEW WorldWin Papers Kromekote Cardstock Collection with you this month. This cardstock collection contains foil, glossy, and glossy textured cardstock papers in 34 colors and styles!

I created a Halloween card for you, using several of the papers from the Kromekote collection.

I created my card from ColorMates Original Heritage Black cardstock to have a sturdy base for which to layer all the other papers. I embossed the Black Lizard Kromekote cardstock with an embossing folder. My embossing sandwich was a bit tight, which caused the surface of the Black Lizard cardstock to "crack" a bit, showing some of the white core. I loved how grungy that looked! Perfect for a Halloween card!

I embossed a piece of Orange Peel Kromekote with a second embossing folder. The orange cardstock has a bit of a shimmer to it. 

I die cut the sentiment from the Black Pearl Kromekote. Very shimmery!

I die cut the spider web from Radiant Pearl Kromekote Cardstock. It is hard to see in the photo, but this paper has the most luscious finish!

I added some Graphic 45 papers and a fun "button-bow" to finish the card. I put a piece of ColorMates Light Totally Tan Cardstock on the inside with a stamped message.

Thanks for looking!

It's A Kromekote Halloween

Hey everyone!  Katrina here to share some of the new Kromekote papers with a Halloween card!  This would be a great card for that special little spook that gets a little extra!  

I used the Brushed Gold to create the pocket base for the card.  The pocket and pumpkin are Silhouette files.  I just used a library pocket file for the base.

Here you can see how easily the Kromekote paper embosses. I just ran the base of my pumpkin thru my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder.  Then I left the three cut outs just the way they are.  The pumpkin is with the Orange Peel Kromekote and the pumpkin stem is with the Kiwi Stripe.  All the papers I used are new to the Kromekote collection.  

Here you can see the Black Lizard Kromekote in action!  And I was so please with how this cut in the Cameo.  I just backed my cut out with some Bella Blvd. washi tape.  

These papers will definitely add a unique twist to any project you create! Thanks for stopping by!

Directions:

Use watermark ink to stamp the Script Background onto vellum, and heat emboss with silver powder. Cut a piece of metallic coated paper 5 x 7", and cut the Large Label from the center, then using the basketweave embossing folder, dry emboss the metallic paper.  Mount the stamped vellum to the back side.  Adhere to a light blue printed paper.  Roll the corners of the patterned paper towards the center.  Cut two decorative pieces from the Ornamental Add On set, and glue to the center.  Cut the two snowflake pieces from the Banner and Trees set, glue together and add a Sparklet to the center.  Use foam adhesives to add to the center cluster.  Use the dries clear adhesive to run a line of glue around the inner and outer borders of the embossed silver paper, and sprinkle the Shaved Ice embellishment over (You could substitute glitter or Flower Soft for this step).  Add Sparklets to the corners and finish with a bow.

It is a Kromekote Christmas!

Hello! Gloria with you again. WorldWin Papers has come out with a new line of cardstock, called Kromekote. This cardstock collection contains foil, glossy, and glossy textured cardstock papers. The cardstock is a heavy weight, perfect for embossing!

I used the Kromekote Silver Foil cardstock for my card. It is never too early to get started on your Christmas cards, and silver foil is perfect for the holidays! I embossed the Silver Foil cardstock with an embossing folder, and then I gently rubbed the surface with a sanding block.

I used Copic markers to highlight just a few elements of the embossed image. I die cut a small scrap of the silver cardstock with a mini tag die template, and then I stamped the sentiment on it with Staz-On ink (which dries quickly on the glossy surface).

You can see here the "scratching" of the surface that happened when I gently buffed the raised images with a sanding block! It gives the card even more dimension.

I created the card and mat with ColorMates cardstock (deep emerald isle and deep berry red).

Thanks for looking!

More Fun with Kromekote Papers

Hi, it's Gini - and today I have a card to share with you using the new Kromekote papers.  In real life, these papers are so shiny and pretty - and no matter how I tried, I really could not capture this finish in my photo.

It really does remind me of shiny nail polish!  I used a mother of pearl and a deep red and combined them with the Elan Metallics for a very elegant card.  The sentiment was from Inspired by Stamping and was heat embossed with a black embossing powder.  The dies are all from Spellbinders.

We are going to be sharing these fun papers with you all month long - so be sure to stop back by for more inspiration!
