Stampin' UP! Timeless Textures and
Metallic Enamel Shapes
It's the first Monday of the month and that means it's time for the Stamp Review Crew. We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators focused on sharing a ton of ideas focusing on a single stamp set. This week we're featuring Timeless Textures. You have likely come from Bruno Bertucci on your way through this amazing hop. If you get lost, simply click on the banner for a list of participants and get back on track.
Well now. Here's a challenge for you. Take a stamp set that is just full of accents and show different ways to use it. Initially I could only think of one way to use it - as an accent! But then I thought “Oh, c'mon Mike! Be creative! Have fun!” So I decided to see just what I could create. The mesh sure looked like an old farm fence to me...and the rest is history. I wanted it to look like an old tin type pic. How's this?
Step by Step Tips:
- I started with a 3 3/5“ x 5” piece of Crumb Cake card stock and Crumb Cake ink. I matted it on a 4“ x 5 1/4” piece of Early Espresso card stock and then added it to a Crumb Cake card base.
- I used the mesh stamp (lower left ->) to create the fence.
- I used the Washi Tape stamp (upper right ->) for the fence post.
- The stamp second from the bottom on the left became the horizon. ->
- The stamp second from the top on the left became the snow bank.
- The flourish (bottom right) stamped multiple times became the tree.
- The splatter was stamped using gold embossing powder to create lights.
- A gold metallic enamel star topped the tree and the circles became the halo!
- I have to cheat and use the Tin of Tags photopolymer stamp set for the sentiment - there are no greetings in an accent set! Simple!
How'd I do?
Next stop on the Hop is Sue Plote where she'll
wow you with her beautiful design skills.
Absolutely, positively the MOST creative use of Timeless Texture I have ever seen!!! Bravo!

Super duper to use everything about Timeless Texture and make a scape out of them. I have this set and I had no idea. I'd love to hear how you came about this layout and how excited you must've been to get such a revelation.
