Stamping Nathalie Style!

This week's challengefor the Stampendous Design Team is to share our creations using Nathalie Kalbach's Foam and Cling Stamp sets. Her Design Team will also be sharing, so you'll want to come back each day to see who else has a creation for you. Lots of her team are international.  PLUS, we'll give away one each of the sets to anyone, anywhere, and that will be from comments on all the blog posts for the week. 

Here's a little video of Nathalie from CHA.

Today I chose Nathalie's wonderful Bird Foam Stamp, Cling Rubber and Stencil Set (NKCFS02) that was just released this month. These sets are fun to work with in a lot of different media.

This is how they look in the package. The top image shows the cling rubber stamp, the bottom shows the back of the foam stamp and you can see the stencil in between the two. 

I made a "traditional" card using the cling rubber stamp, and used the stencil in the background.

Stampendous Supplies:
NKCFS02 Bird Foam Stamp, Cling Rubber and Stencil Set
CRL268 Cling Not All Wander
DWLL332 Dreamweaver Picasso Stencil
MPW811 Mixed Media White Paper

Plus:
MyColorCardstock Grasshopper
Distress Inks - Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Walnut Stain
Foam applicators
Foam Tape
Removable Tape

Instructions:

1. Cut a 6" x 9 1/2" piece of Grasshopper cardstock, fold in half to form an A6 card
2. Cut a 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" piece of white cardstock
3. Tape the plastic stencil to the white paper with removable tape, use a foam applicator to apply the two green inks through the stencil, re-position stencil across the bottom edge until you have as many images as you would like
4. Remove the stencil, add a little more of the two greens along the bottom and a little way up the sides of the paper
5. Use the blues to rouge a "sky" area, use the Faded Jeans and Picasso to create the clouds
6. Apply the Peeled Paint and Chipped Sapphire inks randomly on the Bird Stamp, mist lightly with water and stamp the image on another piece of white paper
7. Cut out the bird, rough some crushed olive into the background and chipped sapphire around the edge of the bird
8. Rouge just the edge of the background and bird with a little Walnut Stain ink
9. Stamp the saying in the cloud area using Chipped Sapphire
10. Adhere the background to the card front
11. Use foam tape to attach the bird

I'm looking forward to playing with Nathalie's other stamp sets too!

Amazing!

I know I say this every month but...WHERE HAS APRIL GONE! We are moving to Cincinnati to be closer to our grandkids, so we've been busy packing up our house. The moving truck comes Friday. We are building a new house and will be in temporary housing by Saturday. Hopefully all my "necessities" will arrive as work on July Catalog begins! Needless to say, I'm going a little crazy! 

But crafting always makes me feel better and this week's challenge gave me an excuse to stop packing for a while! The Stampendous Design Team is sharing our creations using Nathalie Kalbach's Foam and Cling Stamp sets this week. Her Design Team will also be sharing, so you'll want to come back each day to see who else has a creation for you. Lots of her team are international.  PLUS, we'll give away one each of the sets to anyone, anywhere, and that will be from comments on all the blog posts for the week. 

I started with the Nathalie's Fashion Dame (NKCRS07) set. It's not one of the foam sets, but it was just released! I'm sure that counts!

"You're Amazing!"

This great set comes with three cling rubber stamps and a plastic stencil that I used in the background. It's like paper dolls, color the outfit however you want it each time you use it!

Stampendous Supplies Used:

MPW811 Mixed Media White Paper

Other Supplies Used:

Instructions:

1. Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp the Dame on a 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" piece of white, stamp the skirt and jacket on scrap pieces of white
2. Color with Copic markers
3. Cut out the skirt and jacket
4. Place the background stencil over the image (tape in place with removable tape) and use foam applicators to apply the Wild Honey and Aged Mahogany inks to the background avoiding the Dame
5. Remove the stencil and rouge more inks in the background around the edges
6. Stamp the saying with Memento Tuxedo Black
7. Cut a 7" x 10" piece of Coordinations Wild honey cardstock, score and fold in half to form an A7 card
