Fashionable Fun

Creating a handmade card for congratulations or thank you's using rubber stamps will make a special keepsake for the person receiving it.  Emboss in silver on dark papers or stamp black onto light pastel shaded paper...either will be beautiful. Here are some of our special formal-themed rubber stamps, especially for a bridal, Quinceañera, or for any other fashion-themed card.
Our Dress Form Flourish Rubber Stamp, seen above in silver embossing on black card stock, looks awesome stamped or embossed. The stamp measures about 3 inches tall so it is perfect for any sized card.
Glitter card stock in silver and a gray pearl card stock mats the embossed dress form. (Although glitter paper doesn't photograph the best, in person, it's just so pretty!)
A black and white card stock layered with pink patterned papers is the base of the card. I added a beautiful glitter sticker, "dream" and then the die cut "moments" (seen in top photo). This card would be perfect for a young girl.
Another dress rubber stamp we have is Formal Gown and Floral Corner Rubber Stamp. Featured in the photo above is also a small flower stamp in the corner which is our Lily Blossom Rubber Stamp. Both are embossed with silver embossing powder onto a gray pearl card stock.
To make the corner special, cut the corner off of the paper and place your cutout Lily Blossom stamped image over the edge, creating a fancy, offset pattern to the corner to reveal the mat.
A third card that features fashion theme is below. A formal room also will convey a congrats or happy day sentiment. Below is our Antique Dressing Table Rubber Stamp with our Victorian Velvet Chair Rubber Stamp.
Stamped in black ink onto a pastel yellow card stock, our Antique Dressing Table Rubber Stamp measures about 3 inches tall. It features some candles, candelabras, vases, and a mirror on the wall.  Tip: to color in a mirror, use a silver and light blue marker in one of the edges.
Our Victorian Velvet Chair Rubber Stamp looks good colored in using reds, blues, greens, or as in this example, yellow with some darker shading for depth in the buttons of the cushions. I used 2 brown Copic markers for the wood portion of the chair.
On the curved die cut, I also colored with Copics some shading starting with the darkest in the outer corner and going light to none towards the center of the die cut.  The die cut is also the same yellow as what the chair and table were stamped on.
Whether you are making a card to congratulate a bride or just creating some fun fashion themed cards, we have many rubber stamps that you will enjoy stamping to create beautifully "formal" projects.
We have several other dress form stamps, such as: Steampunk Dress Form, Dress Form Ball Gown, Corset Dress Form, Dress Form Wire Frame and Magnolia Dress Form. Also, our Sewing Kit Collection has a sideview of a dress form. Some other bridal/formal stamps we have are: Lady in Lace, Victorian Evening Dress and City Girls Formal Affair.  
We have so many flowers like Lily Cascade, Lily Border, Lillies Pen and Ink, English Roses, Rose Sketch, Rose Blooms, Rose Border and Rose Engraving to name a few! Click here to view our Flowers section.

Journaling Techniques to Create a Card

​In this project, I combined some favorite journaling techniques to create a handmade card.  For those of you that do not create junk journals, that's ok because the processes, like watercolor paint splashes, rolling edges of the paper are used below make a very pretty card with many layers. I also include below a couple of tips on keeping your tools sharp and options for using different focal points. We use a center layout where everything is built around the middle line of the card. Embellish using the top left and bottom right with a background pattern of script in black ink gives the green center a nice contrast which is often seen in journaling. (The red flowers are watercolor designs that were inkjet printed.) You can use stickers of flowers just the same. The  ​Venus de Milo Rubber Stamp  is now available. It measures about 1.25" wide x 3.25" tall.  The oval frame is from our  ​Create a Cameo Rubber Stamp Collection .  You will notice, I used the top part of the Ve

Non-Halloween Stamps to Create Scary

  The dramatic effect of white embossing onto black paper doesn't just have to be done at Halloween. Here we used some unconventional stamps to create a scary tag with a base of black. While these stamps normally wouldn't be in the Halloween category, they end up somehow being perfect to create a scary tag. The best way to get a bright white look is by embossing with white powder. Embossing always comes out looking extraordinary and worth the extra effort. Above is our  Victorian Man Profile Rubber Stamp  embossed onto black chipboard. He'll make a great embellishment for a Halloween. (measures about 2 inch x 2 inch). A tree branch from our  Season of Joy Collection  is one of my favorite stamps. It expresses the beauty of nature in a simple way. Above, the branch stamp was embossed in Copper Powder onto black card stock. Our  Grunge Ticket Rubber Stamp  is seen above, embossed in white onto black card stock. The stamp measures about 3 inches tall x 1.5 inches wide. I love

IPhone Cover Decor

Since Xyron has a fabulous way of making anything into a sticker, I decided to create décor for the back of my cell phone case. Taking beautiful, damask patterned glitter paper from DCWV, 6x6 pad, 'The Glitter Basics" I cut out my iPhone 6s cover pattern using a template I created in plain white cardstock of my case.  To cut out the circle in the middle, I used an X-Acto knife.     The Scooter Rubber Stamp was embossed on red paper and cut out with scissors.  I smudged 'Claret' color StazOn ink around the edges.       After placing the scooter through the Xyron Creative Station, I placed it onto the iPhone pattern and ran both through together.  The Creative Station can take such thick items.  You will see below that I ran embellishments made from shrink plastic and it had no problem with them. One of the magical features of the Xyron's sticker makers is that the top of your project comes out unscathed.  You just peel the plas
