Fabulous and Fun

Carla has created this very clever card using one of the ducks from the new Hello Ducky set of digital stamps. By flipping the image and placing it close to it's mirror image, the ducks appear to be high-fiving! She's helped the illusion further by adding an appropriate sentiment. Now that's thinking outside the box!

Carla's second card is Christmas themed and uses a traditional red and green colour palette with pretty white poinsettias. Her little duck has joined the festivities with his big red bow!

Hot Tip Tuesday

Where possible, fussy cut or die cut your paper elements before applying dimensional mediums, heat embossing or gel pens to help prevent cracking and peeling.

Bright and Cheerful

When originally designing this set, I had visions of this little guy wearing a deep green tam o' shanter and vest, but when I sat down to colour, I found myself going for a much brighter colour scheme!

Sentimental

"Sentimental" is a new set of clear stamps, available through our fabulous retailers.

Okay... before you say "not another set of flower stamps", let me give you three good reasons why this set should be added to your collection. Firstly, the lines are nice and heavy allowing more ink to transfer to your surface, giving you a great result when heat embossing as there's more powder to create the image.

It's also great for coloured stamping, again because the thicker lines mean more ink can be held and transferred. Particularly handy for techniques such as water colouring or outline stamping.

The second reason is size. This is not a small stamp, but it's also not so gigantic that it becomes an all day event to colour. It will fit nicely on a card front without having to add any further embellishments if you don't wish to. It's also easy to cut out and layer, paper tole style, as you can see from the purple card above.

The third reason this stamp is so useful is the layout of the image. The flowers were designed so they could be easily stamped in separate areas of your card, allowing for even more versatility.

Just for fun, I've included a time lapse video of the image being coloured:

Little Somethings

Deanne has coloured this little guy to coordinate with the collection of patterned papers she used on the base of her card. Some glitter and glossy accents add sparkle and shine to her cute birthday card!

Surprise Message

Karin has used the new Hello Ducky set to create a fabulous Shutter Card that reveals a hidden message when opened. She also positioned one of the little ducks at the bottom of the card as if he too is popping up to say congratulations!

Some of us have hearing that is so finely tuned that we can hear a chocolate bar being unwrapped from the other side of the house... it's a super power!
