Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.
Today's feature project is based on the below sketch.
I am wintering in AZ and I completed most of my projects/blogs in December before I left, However, I did not have the sketch for this one until after I arrived. Before I left, I determined I am low on Birthday cards of all kinds. This helped me decide which select products to bring with me to craft while I'm here. For this sketch I decided to use the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More cards & envelopes along with a card layer and some of the stickers from the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Card Pack
This was a very simple card to create. The strip on the left is the other side of the right card layer and I added a strip of Azure Afternoon ribbon to pop the color a bit. I thought the star stickers from the card pack fit well for the added 'die cut' look from the sketch.
Note:I do not have my photo box with me, so the photo maybe a bit off my usual style.

The New Year is fast approaching. Are you glamming it up to celebrate at a party? I often just stay home, but this year I'll be in AZ for the winter, and I think we'll be doing some exploring given it won't be so cold and icy!
I pulled out all the glam for this card and thought it turned out super cute. Not sure who I'll send it to yet, but I'm sure I'll think of someone.

Today's feature technique is two step stamping. I don't own too many sets that require the 2-step process, but the Merriest Trees stamp set is a perfect example of this.
The main tree image is one large sold image but can be cut into many different sizes of trees using the die cuts. The 2-step part is the added 'branches' image stamped right over the sold tree image. It's pretty easy and forgiving to line up on the tree. Often your solid image will be a lighter ink so that the 2nd image over it in a darker ink shows up. I decided to try a bit of embossing for the 2nd step stamping.
Here's some details on the different trees, which turned out mainly by salvaging some mistakes.
Large Tree: total mistake on how this turned out. I stamped the solid tree with garden green and I think what happened is I didn't wait long enough for my juicy ink to dry and added the Veramark and powder right away which created this sort of flocked tree look from the extra sprinkles of powder. I actually really love it - lol
Middle size tree: I stamped off with the garden green first to create a more muted color for this tree. I tried the craft white ink, but it didn't really show up well, so I stamped versamark over it and embossed it. Totally was able to salvage the tree with a unique look.
Small Tree: Full color garden green and let it fully dry, then stamped the branches with versamark embossed with white powder so you see the 'correct' effect of letting it dry. This tree was adhered with dimensionals.
