Way To Go!

Happy Friday! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing four cards featuring the Victorine Originals Bicycles Set with Penny Farthing. 

Using the colors from the current mood board I did a little repeat stamping with the bicycles, add an embossed line below and above the stamped image using my mini scoreboard, and added a simple sentiment from my stash. 

Using the news print stamps with this set I stamped backgrounds in black and brown, stamped the Penny Farthing in Pink and Green ink, used the scan n cut to cut them out, and popped them up off the stamped backgrounds with 3D mounting foam. The die-cut sentiment is from my stash.

Robo Party Birthday Cards

Hi and welcome everyone! Today I have two fun birthday cards for boys and I share a great way to use up those scraps of patterned papers. I'm also happy to say that I have a video tutorial for you on my blog, 

The Relativity of Paper.

The images with the Raisin Boat Robo Party Stamp Set are adorable, such a great set for boys, too. 

How-To

• Stamp the images using Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black.
• Colored with Copics C9, C7, C5, C3, C1, yg13, yg17, B37, and B39
• Either fussy cut the images or run them through a Scan N Cut, I'm totally against fussy cutting so I opted for the Scan N Cut. 
• Cut two pieces of paper to 4.25" x 5.5" and embossing using an embossing folder(optional)
• Cut the two pieces of 4.25" x 5.5" paper into strips making sure to keep the width of the paper the same as the width of your cardbase; the height doesn't matter so much
• Decide where you how you want to arrange the patterned paper and adhere directly to a 4.25" x 5.5" #110 cardbase. 
• Add 3D mounting foam to the back of the white strips and position to hide only the edges of the patterned paper. 
• Add 3D mounting foam to the back of the images and add to front of cardbase
• Finish off with enamel dots

Feel Better Soon!

Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa here from The Relativity of Paper sharing two Get Well cards. I was sick for most of May and away from my craft room, too. So it feels awesome to be back and sharing. Of course, I would return with Get Well cards, I mean, it's not like I didn't have plenty of time to think about them. 

These cards are very easy and take minimal supplies. 

HOW-TO

• Using the Raisin Boat Chicken Wire stamp and gray ink stamp two backgrounds on 4.25" x 5.5" #80 cardstock; cut a section out  to create reveal for patterned paper
• Stamp red three red flowers on one background and three red hearts on the other 
• Stamp sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink in lower right corner of background panels (sentiment is from my stash)
• Stamp Victorine Originals Heart Chicken and Flower Chicken using Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black and color the images (Copic colors I used W05, W03, W01, R29, YR68, YG25, Y17)
• Fussy cut or run through Scan N Cut to cut the chickens out
• Cut patterned paper (I'm using Doodlebug Down on the Farm) and adhere to a 4.25" x 5.5" card #110 card base
• Add 3D mounting foam to back of stamped background panels and adhere to card base over patterned paper making sure to reveal patterned paper
• Add two layers of 3D mounting foam to back of chickens and position on card 

As always, thanks for joining me. 

Remember

Happy Friday, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing a card with a great message, Remember. I'm pulling out my go-to words, quick and simple, with this card. Maybe I should make that my motto. I did make this in a hurry yesterday. I've been battling a serious cold for two weeks and yesterday was the first day back in the craft room. My husband joked, you haven't been on your laptop but a few times, you are sick! I should have said REMEMBER who cooks your food, buddy! LOL Anyway, I think I'm on the downside of this mess and so glad. 

Using the Strokes of Pride Stamp Set  stamp the "streak" using red ink on white cardstock. Stamp the star on heat resistant acetate using versamark ink and blue embossing powder. Tip: Always remember to use anti static powder when using embossing powder and pre-heat your heat gun. Heat set the powder. Stamp sentiment using gray ink on white cardstock, add 3D mounting foam to the back of sentiment and decided placement on card then adhere to acetate. Flip the acetate over and add another piece of 3D mounting foam to the backside of acetate hiding it behind the sentiment, adhere to stamped card panel. Add enamel dots randomly on acetate adding 3D mounting on the backside of the acetate, hiding it behind the enamel dots and adhere to stamped panel. Center on a 4.25" x 5.5" card base. 

Stamp the sentiment "this nation..." inside of card.

This is a wonderful patriotic stamp set!

Going Up, Up and Away!

Happy Friday, everyone and welcome! Today I'm taking over the blog with this cutie from the Raisin Boat Spring Is In the Air Stamp Set. This is a great set for Spring and Easter, lots of possibilities with this one. 

This card was created using white cardstock, colored inks, COPIC markers and a few die-cuts from my stash. You can find all the details on my blog, The Relativity of Paper.

I stamped the grass using Memento Inks in the colors Pear Tart, Cottage Ivy, and Bamboo Leaves. 

I colored the balloon, bunny, and basket with COPIC BG's, Y's, RV's.  Once you have the pieces die-cut I added 3D mounting foam to them and adhered them to a 4.25" x 5.5" #110 Neenah Cardstock Classic Crest Solar White card base. Finish off with enamel dots. 

Stamp sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

As always, thanks for joining me today.

Spring Is In The Air

Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper taking over the blog. I'm so ready for Spring this year.  We are doing new flower beds, adding lots of trees, to our front yard this year. We are in dire need of a little thing called curb appeal. So I was thinking this would be a great time to break out the Spring stamps and keep with the current mood board's color palette, adding a little last minute inspiration for you. 

Creating this card is very simple. 

• You want to die-cut a piece #110 Neenah Cardstock or whatever white cardstock you have available to you using two circle dies, just a random pattern.
•  I used a stamping position tool and lay down a piece of cardstock to stamp on, then position the die-cut piece over the top of it to determine stamp positions. You will be doing a lot of back and forth with this but it goes fairly quick. Using different shades of dye ink stamp the images once you have them positioned. 
• Add 3D mounting foam to the back of the die-cut paper and adhere to stamped panel making sure your circles are correctly positioned to reveal stamped images. 
• Stamp sentiment onto a gray cardstock, stamp bunny on white cardstock and add a little color with COPIC W00 and W3, glue white pom for bunnies tail, 
• Adhere both sentiment and bunny with 3D mounting foam. 
• Finish off with enamel dots in shades of green and gold.

Conversation Hearts

Hi, and welcome, everyone! Lisa, from The Relativity of Paper,  with you today I'm sharing a Valentine's Day card featuring the Victorine Originals Conversation Hearts and Happy Valentine's Day Stamps.

My first thought was to stamp the hearts on the inside of the shaker and then maybe have them added to the sequins. Once I gathered everything and started assembling I went off in a totally different direction, nothing new there. 

To get started I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the outline of a jar. You could use a die-cut or stamp a jar and fussy cut. I added acetate to the back of the cut-out jar and 3D mounting foam to the back. I ran a piece of kraft cardstock through my BigKick using a heart themed embossing folder, added sequins, removed the backing, carefully, from 3D mounting foam, and covered with embossed kraft cardstock to enclose the sequins, creating a shaker. The hard part is done. Stamp the conversation hearts and sentiment using Memento Ink-Tuxedo Black and color with COPIC markers, R29, RV55, RV53, RV000. Using my scan n cut to cut the hearts, you can fussy cut these hearts, there's not much to them, add 3D mounting foam to the back and start stacking them in the corner of the jar. To add more dimension I layered a few hearts with two layers of 3D mounting foam. Die-cut sentiment using banner die, add 3D mounting foam to back and adhere to front of the card. Finish off with a few clear sequins. 

 As always, thanks for joining me today!

Never Far Apart + Nippon Post

 Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper with you today and I'm sharing a card featuring the Victorine Originals Nippon Post Stamps.  I have a STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO on my blog and YouTube channel. 

Nippon Post Stamps

The inspiration for this card came from a piece of paper in my stash. My initial intention was to pair the stamps with the paper. However, after stamping these gorgeous images with dye inks, a little gold embossing powder, and a touch of pigment powder I decided the image could stand on its own. The beautiful paper will have to wait until another day. 

Even though I do a lot of stamping techniques on this card the process is fast. I hope you'll check the video tutorial out and give it a try. 

As always, thanks for joining me today!

Celebrate

Using stamp position tool, stamp Woman In Dress image using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I used the Brother Scan N Cut to cut her out but you could easily fussy cut the image.
