Unique ways to use Digital stamps - STAMPlorations

Hello friends!

I am thrilled to be show casing Digital stamps to you for the Digital Wednesday feature at STAMPloration blog. I am featuring the beautiful floral digis Boxed blooms and am bringing some cool ideas for using and stretching them in some unconventional ways. The Boxed blooms is a set of 4 Digital stamps and have some gorgeous illustrations of Rose, Daisy, daffodil and Orchid. I also have a You tube tutorial for the detailed process of how I made these cards. 

I am using all three mediums to color, Copic, Pencil colors and watercolors!! and I printed my digis from an ink jet printer. Also I tried to use colored cardstock for my cards today, which is a great way to get more interest on your cards.

Big bold Birthday Rose Card

For my first card I chose the Rose stamp and resized it to be a big bold flower to cover 2/3rd of my front panel. I love big bold floral stamps but what I love about digital stamp the most is that you can resize it to the proportions you want! 

I printed my Boxed rose flower on 110 lbs Neenah Solar white paper cut it in a way that the box doesn't remain and it looks like it was single rose image and then I colored with Copics. For the back panel I chose a blue cardstock and swiped horizontally Distress oxide in Blue print sketch for some texture but still a clean look. Then I used the Happy word die cut it from a pink cardstock and sponged a little Picked raspberry Distress oxide at the edges. Stamped birthday on a white cardstock and adhered the rose and birthday on foam tape and happy die cut with with glue on my blue cardbase. Some sequins to bling it up and here's a gorgeous bold rose card. 

Daffodil on Kraft - Spotlight stamping

How often do you print on a kraft cardstock? I love the variation it gives and thought let me share this idea with you. Also why not do some Spotlight or Highlight stamping with digital stamps? 

I printed the Daffodil boxed image on Kraft paper, I used Neenah's Desert storm paper for this and before I colored the mage, I used a square die to cut it through my image.

I coloured my image with Copics and Pencil colors and left the outer square uncolored. I thought of putting it like a diamond shape and used a yellow cardbase and a square white matting for the kraft square and adhered the uncoloured square with glue and popped up the colored square on foam tape. I used  a sentiment from the stamp set Country rustic and heat embossed it in white on a black cardstock and mounted it on foam tape.

Watercolored daises with Mirror stamping

My skills with computer are limited and I use Microsoft word and use Ink jet printer for my printing. But if you have done that you would know that the ink of the image bleeds when you use watercolors.

So how did I do it? I heat embossed my images! And how did I do that?? 

Now that I have your attention I would like to share that I also tried the Mirror stamping technique with my images. I arranged my two boxed daisies together and then rotated one image so it looked different and faced the first daisy.. exactly it's mirror image! so easy right? My video  explains all the steps in details and if you did not undertsand, you can check it out.

For heat embossing and further watercoloring I chose a water color paper to print my  boxed daisies on. Now this is what you have to remember, keep fans and choose a warm room for printing, preferably with no AC on. Be ready with your clear embossing powder and use an anti static powder tool on the correct side of the paper that will have the print coming out. As soon as the print is out, immediately put the clear embossing powder and then heat set it. 

And tadddaaa.. you have the heat embossed images! Then I took my Zig colors and colored them. I used a black matting and foam mounted on a yellow cardbase and stamped thank you from the Frames and flowers stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed the ideas and would try them yourself. If you would like to see more details of how I made this and some more photos then please pop on over to my You tube channel and watch the video.
