Bold Bloomin' Poppies!



After spending some time hanging out with my new Bold Blooms Unmounted stamps, I thought it would be fun to share the results of my experimentation. If you look at the image above, you'll notice that I made the card prior to discovering a few things. I found that there are (at least) three great ways to apply ink/color to the Bold Blooms stamps. Kay and I quick snuck into the studio to walk through the techniques, cuz a video is worth, like, a billion words!


I love sharing techniques with you, and I hope that you'll grab your supplies and give some of these a try. Remember that many of my experiments end up in the "circular file." Don't be afraid to try something new, even if it means that you might fail on the first couple of tries. You may need to make a few adjustments, but eventually, you'll get the hang of it!

Are there other techniques you'd like to see demonstrated on our blog? If so, let me know by replying with a comment below.

Happy Bloomin' Day!

  6. Do the colors remind anyone else of Memoirs? (was that the name of the kit?) I love, love, love when I can have two kits that work together. Stretches them way out. :)

  14. As always, I love the video and tips, Tricia! You're such a good teacher (clear and easy to understand with your directions) that anything else you can bring us will be a winner! I really have enjoyed your stamping techniques and hints...as well as instructions for projects in the special kits...
