Hi.
I was the host on the Hero Arts blog a couple weeks ago. In case you missed it, I thought I would share it all here.
All of the cards focused on the "kissing" technique. For the video, I shared a twist on the "kissing" technique that I found by accident… and I called it "smooching."
(For supplies on this card, click HERE.)
And then I did a good ol' fashioned kissed background…
And to spice up that little flower, I added Glossy Accents for highlighting…
(For supplies on this card, click HERE.)
Then finally a couple kissed super simple ones…
(For supplies on this card, click HERE.)
Many have asked what my favorite inks are for kissing. For the light ink I like to use Hero Arts Shadow Inks and for the dark I like to use Distress Inks. For kissing with one ink (where you kiss an uninked stamp), I like to use Hero Hues Chalk Inks.
I love how you can create unique "how-did-they-do-that" cards with the kissing technique. Stamping rocks.
Night.

You can never have enough smooching I tell ya!!
LOVE the video!!!
Great video. You have a nice voice, well suited to doing videos. Not to high and squeaky. Great technique. Thanks for sharing. If you haven’t already, you should make a technique CD to sell.
love the smooching technique
This is so great…appreciate you taking the time to do the video!
Glad I stopped by… love this technique and will defintely try it. I usually purchase stamps that have alot of sentiments and now I will have a ton of new sentiments by combining them. A use of different types of fonts together is so cool and no one but me will know they came from different sets! A great way to stretch my dollars. Tks!
I can’t seem to get the link to work to buy the stamps you used in the video… Do you have another link?
Love it!
Oh, nevermind, I just caught that you said they aren’t out yet…. :p Need my coffee….
Hi Jenifer!
You are sooooo clever

HUGS, Sanne

Hope your remodel is going well.

Amazing cards! I love your new technique.
I am so so sooo glad you posted this vid! Cutting up the sentiments is just brilliant! I’m always chicken :S
Love the smooching technique, Definately need to “build up” my background stamps
Thanks for sharing!

The chalk inks are vibrant. I have a different set of chalk inks that I want to try today with this technique. Thanks for sharing it.
Fun technique! I’ll have to get me some chalk inks….love their vibrant colors. Btw…I really enjoy your videos!
I enjoyed these on the Hero Arts site but it was nice seeing them again–great technique.
ooooh, the cards are gorgeous! Love that first one! I will have to try this.
What a great technique! Some times the best ones are the ones you happen on by accident. I can’t wait to try this one on the weekend. Love all of your cards – your style is just so beautiful. Glad you showed the tip on cutting up the sentiments – I never thought of doing that before, but I will now. Thank you for the great video.
I saw these on Hero Arts but thanks for sharing them again…they are fabulous!! The “smoothing” is a great technique and the name is adorable! Beautiful cards!!!!
Love the technique Jen. And so thankful you’ve validated me cutting up my stamps…no longer should I need to defend myself to my purist inky buddies who gasp when I pull out my scissors!! Heeeee. xx
Love this technique. Definitely going to try it. I love the stamp on the Valentines Day Card. One of my favs. Love the look of the Chalk Inks. Thanks
This is the very first time I have sat down and watched a video. What a treat!!!! Thanks so much, it was wonderful!!! It is so exciting to think of all the things I can do with my clear acrylic sentiments knowing I can cut them apart and make my own ‘designer’ sentiments!!! And the smooching is very cool! It really helped me feel confident enough to do it when you showed it with the clear block and stamp! Thanks again!!!
What a great idea to cut the sentiment to change it’s placement/look! Brilliant!
Wow these are stunning.
Beautiful cards … and another great technique video. Thanks!
