Kindness Two Ways with Dawn

Hello! As I mentioned in my recent video, one of the things I really like about the No One Else stamp set, is it's versatility. The simple font in this set can really take on a whole new look when paired with different images.

Today, I'm sharing the same sentiment two ways. The first card is very bold and bright.

I chose to pair the "Kindness" sentiment with the Lilies from He Is Risen and the greenery from Modern Calla Lilies. Add a bright color palette of raspberry, golden yellow and lime green with a splash of black, and you've got a tropical paradise!

I stamped the lilies, colored them with Copics and die cut them using their companion dies. I added the greenery using our Lime Light Ink stamped directly onto the card base. To fill in the bare spots and to offset the bright coloring, I added a few more Lilies stamped in black to the card base.

Next up, I wanted to go a little softer route. I still used bright colors, but by coloring onto Oatmeal cardstock, they soften up quite a bit.

I die cut the new Floral Border Die from Oatmeal cardstock and then added color to each of the floral elements again, using Copics. I wrapped the border with a little natural twine and tied it in bow.

I wanted to keep the softer, more rustic look of this card, so this time I stamped my sentiment in Warm Wool. I forgot how much I adore this color. It is a wonderful neutral alternative to black or gray. Sometimes you just need a softer touch. You know?

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great weekend so far!

VIDEO: Pattern Stamping ft. No One Else

Hello! Today's post features one of my new favorite stamps and die sets - No One Else. This set is packed with lots of floral images that allow you to create colorful stamped patterns and floral clusters paired with a couple of big bold sentiments.

One of my favorite techniques is pattern stamping, especially more complex patterns. I have a few tried and true tips and tricks that I myself almost always use when stamping more complicated patterns. The key is to break the larger pattern down into smaller repeating patterns. And this works with just about any images you may be using to create your pattern. I share lots of little tips for creating patterns in the video below.

Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

I first like to settle on a color palette. For the above card I chose, Warm Wool, Sweet Nectar, Falling Star, Ocean Drive and Wild Mango on Oatmeal Cardstock. Then I stamp out several different clusters and small patterns in different variations of that color palette on scratch paper. Once I'm happy with about three or four of the groupings, I stamp those smaller patterns repeatedly onto my final project. I like to keep my color palette to 5 or less colors for busy patterns, but it really is personal preference.

If I really like a certain grouping, I experiment with it in different color palettes as well. It's amazing how different the same design can look just by switching up the colors. I loved the pattern above so much that I used it again, but in different colors.

This time I used a White base with Lime Light, Queen Bee, Sweet Nectar, Flamingo and Lake House. I die cut the sentiment from the No One Else Die from a panel cut with our 4 Bar Rectangles Die and allowed the pattern beneath to be revealed through the negative space.

I stamped "Friend" in Warm Wool by masking off the rest of the sentiment while inking. I popped the whole sentiment panel up using foam tape. I just love the crisp vibrance of this color palette.

For the next card, I kind combined the first two. I used the sentiment tag from the first card and the color palette of the second one. Instead of adding any pattern, I opted for a plain Kraft card base.

Now one of the really great things about this set is it's versatility. The bold graphic sentiments against the whimsical flowers make it interesting design on it's own. But when you pair either with other sets you can really push it more graphic or more soft, and I'll have more examples of that coming up.

For my last card, I just wanted to share how clean and simple this set can be as well. Simple design, simple stamping and a little bit of die cutting.

I stamped my sentiment in Nautical Navy along with a few of the leaves and flowers. I then stamped a few more flowers and die cut them so I could pop them up with foam tape for a little dimension. Adhered that panel to a card base...and done. This is one of those card designs that I could see mass producing in several color combinations.

I hope you're enjoying our new release so far. There is still a lot to share. And if you haven't already, you'll definitely want to check out more from the design team.
