Video: Stamp Tracing with New Hero Arts… 2 Cards

Hello! As promised, I am back with more cards using new Hero Arts stamps. And remember – Heidi from Simon Says Stamp has offered a discount code for my readers:

Use the code “JMHA13” for 15% off ALL Hero Arts products – new and old – over at Simon Says Stamp. You can see the newest products HERE. (Code is valid from 12/17/13 to 12/21/13.)

Today I have a video sharing a technique I call “stamp tracing” and two cards…

(Supplies are listed in the thumbnails at the end of this post.)

(Sorry – forgot to warn you these were bright!)

After stamping the new Hero Arts Many Blessings stamp with a very light ink, I traced over the letters with markers – the Wink of Stella Fine Tip Markers. These give great shimmer! But then I decided to emboss with sparkle for even more bling.

Be sure to watch the video above to see how I used a stamp positioner to help with this card…

I also embossed with the sparkle powder on the background using the Hero Arts Tiny Flags background stamp…

This next card is a bit less in-your-face. LOL..

After stamping the Hero Arts Thank You With Flourishes stamp with light ink, I again traced over it with my Wink of Stella Fine Tip Markers. This gave me the perfect amount of shimmer. I then traced over the image with my Versamark pen and clear embossed it. I love the results in person…

Hope you give this technique a try! It is fun. Enjoy.

    Oh why, oh why couldn’t I have won that lotto jackpot last evening?. These new stamps are so beautiful and the ideas you have, girl!! are SO inspirational. AND, you answered a question I had been having about the Wink of Stella pens. When I was pricing, just the clear one, I found WoS markers and WoS pens…big price difference too and I was so confused. Now, of course, you enabler, you, I will have to have the entire set!!! Arghhhh!!

    Beautiful card!! Thanks for the ideas and the introduction to Wink of Stella pens. Hadn’t heard of them before now.

  23. Doris says:

    Love the process and I ran out and got the Tiny Flags stamp after the last video you used it in. Love that stamp and now with the embossing- pizzazz! Have to get the Wink of Stella pens. My hand is not as steady as it used to be, but I’ll give this tracing a try. Thanks! You are the best. When fellow stampers ask which videos I like the best, you are my # 1. Not for just the talent and the fact that you make it look so easy, but I also tell them that your voice is so easy to listen to. That makes a big difference. ( My # 2 is Barbara at Joggles, who is more multi media oriented.) The two of you together would be quite a team! lol
    Thanks for your inspiration. Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Productive New Year!
