These are bigger than my normal swatches (I store them in THESE sleeves), but you could cut them down to fit other pockets or punch a hole for a key ring. Click HERE to download the free ink swatches. In the video, I show my ink swatches for the Altenew Ink combination. You can also use any outline stamp set for this technique and just color the image on the inside. If you don’t have many colors of ink, try double or triple stamping to achieve darker shades. Remember, any inks will work for this technique. I finished off the card by adding some shimmer and shine with a Wink of Stella pen. After adhering the small note card inside, I adhered another matching panel to the back of the card to hide the adhesive. I also customized my embellishments by applying VersaMark to some pearls and heat embossing them using coordinating embossing powder. I really like the quality and value of WOW embossing powders. I didn’t have the right shade of blue embossing powder so I created my own by mixing some blue and silver powder together. I heat embossed a sentiment on the vellum using a sentiment from Altenew’s Thinking of You Stamp Set. (By the way – I created 7 cards… with a few of them using the Altenew Peony Bouquet Stamps instead.)


When heat embossing on vellum, I let the heat gun get very hot before bringing it to the vellum. After applying anti-static tool to the front, I heat embossed the outline image of the flower and leaves in white… directly on top of the images underneath. I created my cards with my favorite heavyweight vellum and adhered the mini stamped card inside.

You can buy them together or separate… and in full pads or mini cubes. Each color family has a light, medium, dark, and super dark ink. You could use any inks here, but I really like that Altenew offers their inks in a combo of four because it takes the guesswork out of layered images. I started by stamping the layering floral image from the Altenew Beautiful Day Stamp Set using different shades of Altenew ink on to a small note card. Here, I show how you can use vellum, stamps, and embossing to create a fun overlay. I have recently fallen back in love with vellum and enjoy adding it to cards.
