Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting ChatnCraft with Lorraine from the United States. Our theme this month is “What is your favorite Stampin’ Up! tool?” My current favorite is my Whisper White Craft ink and the Whisper White refill. I am loving the Shadow Stamping techniques that uses this ink. The cards above were done with the Blessings of the Home stamp set (available January 4 in the new January-June Mini Catalog) using the Shadow Stamping Technique. You really must try this! It really gives your stamped image a 3D look or almost a raised embossed look. It’s easy and it packs a great wow!

Instructions

Cut a piece of Balmy Blue yardstick 5″ x 3 3/4″. Put in the top left hand corner of your stamparatus. Hold in place with magnets.
Use Whisper White ink to stamp the small flower image from Blessings of Home stamp set. Stamp a second time to get good coverage. Clean your stamp well BUT do NOT remove from the stamparatus. Let the white ink dry.
Move your piece of Balmy Blue card stock very slightly over to the right. By SLIGHTLY, I mean like one millimeter. It is not much.
Now ink your flower in Memento Black ink or Misty Moonlight. (The left card above was inked in black. The right hand card in Misty Moonlight.)
Clean your stamp as it may have picked up some white ink, re-ink, and stamp a second time.
Next adhere the stamped image to a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Misty Moonlight card stock.
Adhere this to a card base cut 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.

Here are a few more examples of shadow stamping.

Symbols of Fortune stamp camp

Please join me and 12 talented Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world for an amazing Stamp Camp experience. This Symbols of Fortune Stamp Camp will feature the softly colored and shimmery suite of products. You can see each of the items here:

Product List

Symbols Of Fortune Suite Collection (English)

This Stamp Camp includes a card kit to make 12 cards…one designed by each of the demonstrators on the Creativity Abounds team. In this card kit you will get the card bases and any pieces of card stock needed to make the card. If a die other than the ones included in the Crane of Fortune Bundle is used, it will be cut for you. Envelopes are included as well.

You will use your Symbols of Fortune patterned paper, Crane of Fortune Bundle, Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer ribbon, Polished Dots, and inks and adhesives.

This kit will come with an emailed written tutorial for each card as well as “unlisted” videos to show you how to make the cards.

On April 29 -30 , 2022, you will be part of an exclusive Facebook Group where we will have 12 LIVE presentations showing another project made with the suite. As the group is international, some LIVES will be at less convenient times, but they will all be recorded in the FaceBook group and you will have access to them forever. You are invited to post your cards, comment and play along with challenges in this exclusive group as well.

The only fee to participate in this Stamp Camp is purchase through me of the Symbols of Fortune Suite (item #157667- and all the products are included with this one number). If you already own these products, please substitute any other $82.75 (before shipping and tax) of products. Please use the link below as it includes my HOST CODE (3Z2Q2CK2).

You can order by clicking on this link: SHOP WITH CHATNCRAFT WITH LORRAINE and this will input the host code for you automatically. I will be notified of your purchase and will enroll you in Stamp Camp. Please be sure to order as soon as possible to ensure that nothing becomes unavailable!

NOTE: The Symbols of Fortune Suite is not available at this time because the Polished Dots are on backorder. You can participate in the Stamp Camp if you order all of the items individually (you’ll still save 10% on the Stamp & Die bundle) and add a different embellishment such as Iridescent Rhinestone Jewels. Please use the HOST CODE 3Z2Q2CK2.

About a week before Stamp Camp you will receive your card kit in the mail. Then a few days before the Symbols of Fortune Stamp Camp starts, you will receive an invitation to join the exclusive Facebook group.
