Vintage Vogue feature

Have you seen this months issue of the Making cards magazine? The July Issue has a feature using the lovely Vintage Vogue stamp set & they ise the kissing technique.

The kissing technique is a great way to get more use from your stamps. There are several different ways to use this technique:

Take a background or textured stamp and ink it with a dark color. Place it face up on your work surface. Then ink a solid stamp with a lighter color. Press the solid stamp into the background stamp so that they “kiss” each other. The background stamp leaves a pattern into the solid stamp. Then take the kissed solid stamp and stamp onto cardstock.
As a variation, ink the two stamps in coordinating colors, rather than a lighter shade of the same color, and “kiss” them together. Then press the solid stamp onto cardstock.


Ink a solid stamp and “kiss” it with an un-inked pattern stamp. This removes ink in the shape of the pattern. Stamp the kissed solid stamp onto cardstock.

All of the Stampin' Up products are  available to purchase through me including the very versatile Vogue set used in this feature.
