80s Girl by Amy Moser

I am so excited to be designing for Kindred Stamps this month! I'm Amy Moser, I'm a Guest Designer for Kindred Stamps, you can read more about me here!

I was assigned the stamp set "80's girl". In the words of Chandler from Friends, Could this stamp set be any cuter???? It brings up so many memories of my childhood.

I was inspired to create a strawberry house and a rainbow card for these gorgeous images.

The strawberry card was created from a 6x10 card base of real red card stock. I sketched the shape free-hand and then cut it out.  I then folded it in half and ran it through the Big Shot Machine with the Swiss Dot embossing folder. A strawberry is not a strawberry without seeds!

The rest of the house is made up of various Stampin Up punches. The Strawberry girl was coloured in with Zig Markers on Canson XL Watercolour paper and cut out.

The rainbow card was created from a 4.25x11 Whisper White card stock base and a 4x5.25 piece of the same colour which was embossed using a cloud folder and sponged with soft sky ink to make it pop. The rainbow was created using Gina Marie stitched circle dies in rainbow colours, adhered to each other and cut in half to create two rainbow pieces. the clouds were punched out of Whisper White with the Stampin Up cupcake punch. The Rainbow girl was coloured in with Zig Markers on Canson XL Watercolour paper and cut out. I heat embossed the greeting in white embossing powder and voila, rainbow card!

I loved creating with this set and I hope you will too!

Arcade Friends, Candy Man, and It's Good To Be Bad Stamp Sets

Molly here, one of the Creative Design Team Members of Kindred Stamps!

For this blog post I used 3 different Kindred Stamp sets and made 1-2 cards from each: Arcade Friends, Candy Man, and It’s Good To Be Bad.

The first card I made was with the Arcade Friends stamp set but I wanted to try something new so I decided to make a “shaker” card. For anyone who doesn’t know, a shaker card is a card that has an empty cavity in the middle filled with small sequins and beads or clay decorations and a clear front, giving an almost snow-globe-like effect when the card is shaken.

I began with a purple card base and bordered it with 3M double sided foam tape to separate the top and bottom layer. After this, I filled the inside with the ‘Sweet And Sour Shaker Pack’ from Kindred Stamps. To create the top clear layer, I used a plastic acetate sheet and bordered it with blue paper. The next step was to put stamps on the outside as accents. From the Arcade Friends set, I picked my favorite stamps, colored them in, and used my Brother Scan And Cut to cut them out and placed around the edge.

My next card also used the Arcade Friends set, this time going back to a more traditional card. I used a blue base and covered the front with candy themed wrapping paper. I also used candy foam stickers to give depth and decorations to the front of the card.

The 3rd card came from the ‘Candy Man’ set. I picked yellow paper for the backing and decided a striped, colorful card stock that reminded me of candy canes would make a good accent layer. From there, I put the Candy Man and one of his treats, colored them in with Copic markers, and placed onto the front of the card using foam Dimensionals.

My last card came from the ‘It’s Good To Be Bad’ set, one of my favorites. I went for a underwater theme, picking neon-sea plant accent paper over an orange base card. After adding a sentiment, I took the Sea Witch stamp, colored it in, and put it on the front of the card. To give the Sea Witch a bit of extra emphasis I used a foam dimensional to raise her off the card back. We are really excited about this release! We have 9 new sets being released on Friday! 9!
