Stamping Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle-Ephemera!
Welcome to our August Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle instead of hop!! We are featuring ephemera. What is ephemera, you ask? One definition is: Collectibles, keepsakes, relics, remembrances, reminders, souvenirs, and tokens. I use a lot of these in scrapbooking. Stampin’ Up! is offering us preprinted pieces to put together on our cards and scrapbook pages. You can also cut several different die cuts from all of the amazing choices and create your own ephemera look!
Here is a sneak peek of my card.
I began with a Garden Green base, scored at 4-1/4. I wanted a background that wasn’t too distracting, so I picked a Garden Green pattern from the Regals 6″ x 6″ DSP (#163774), cut it into 1-1/4″ and 1″ strips. I selected several pieces of ephemera from the Fully Flowering Mix & Match Epemera Pack (#163762) and the Labels & Layers Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#163764). Then I literally played around with them. After arranging the pieces, I added a sentiment from the Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack (#163761). When you are in a hurry, this is a great option to have on your crafting table!!
Here is another card using more ephemera pieces. My guideline for designing with ephemera, stop when you like the look and feel of the card. It is ok to put pieces on one way, remove all of them and start again.

Stamping Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle-embossing folders!
Welcome to our June Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog to blog instead of hopping!! We are featuring projects using Embossing Folders. Here is a sneak peek of my card. I love the deep lines and detail of the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder! Such amazing texture!
I began with a Basic White base, scored at 4-1/4. I used the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (#162935) on a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White. It is embossed partially from one end and then a little bit from the other end, leaving a blank area between for the sentiment. The flowers are from Adoring Hearts stamp set (#162563), stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. Then I fussy cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisies (#161290) in Bubble Bath. Easy, but stunning card.
