Stamp Focus: A Walk in the Woods

Hello friends!

It's my turn to share projects with you over Altenew Card Blog!  

I am super excited to share some ideas about the large background stamp "A Walk in the Woods" stamp set. You might think why would I NEED another background stamp....? Well, this one is not like the other! For one thing, this stamp measures 5 1/2"x 5 1/2" and is more than enough to cover the entire card front. The details in the wood-grain allows you to create from unique and rustic to elegant and beautiful projects. 

Let's get right to my 3 cards! 

 

Card #1: you make my heart happy  
Techniques: Stamping, Embossing, Inlaid die-cutting  

Firstly, I stamped "A Walk in the Woods" onto the entire card stock in Espresso Crisp Dye Ink. I then stamped the image from Weekend Doodle in Emboss Ink and then white-embossed the image with Pure White Embossing Powder.  

I then die cut the floral image with the Weekend Doodle Coordinating Die. To add some depth, I stacked 3 more pieces of die cut and popped up the image. You can absolutely skip this step, but I thought the continuity of the wood-grain looks awesome underneath the white-embossed flowers. 

This design reminded me of the carving on trees because it is so playful. I reached for Enamel Dots and Golden Edge Washi Tape for the embellishment. Card #2: Congrats to Parents-to-be.   

Techniques: Multi-color stamping, Inlaid die-cutting, Embossing, Die-cutting  

Since woodgrain is timeless and is always trendy, why not use it for baby-related designs? Here I created a Baby Show card with soft and pastel colors. With the Woodgrain well positioned in my MISTI, I stamped it with Sunray, Wisteria, Iceberg and Baby Pink. I then die cut the entire piece with Halftone Stars Nesting Dies (see below).

 

Once I made the die cut, I used the negative die as my guild and popped each star back to the card stock. I love the The "Congrats" sentiment ( Bundle of Joy) was embossed in Rose Gold Embossing Powder.To spark some joy in this playful creation, it is not complete without adding Enamel Stars and silver strings! 

 

Card #3: sending hugs to my fabulous friend  

Techniques: Multi-step stamping, Stamping on Pattern paper, Embossing on Vellum  

"A Walk in the woods" stamp is also great for adding textures! By white-embossing the stamp on Vellum Translucent Paper, you can immediately create this white on white textures like no other! 

I stamped the focal point "Ornate Foliage" in Vanilla, Chamomile, Sunray, Baby Pink and Magenta. The sentiment was stamped in grey with Essential Rock Collection Paper Pack. I am still swooning over that background...  

Hope my post today WOOD help you see the amazing possibility of "A Walk in the Woods"!!
