Welcome to the Spring 2015 Essentials by Ellen Release BlogHop! I’m so happy to be a part of it….I’m so proud of my friends Julie Ebersole and Ellen Hutson for taking the leap into producing more awesome products to help our wallets stay lean! Today for my hop cards, I want to show you how to stamp on vellum – with dies!
How to stamp on vellum with dies
When I received the new release stamps and dies from Ellen Hutson, my mind went right away to big bold floral cards. And oddly – to pink and purple!? (Who has taken over this body?) And also to the vellum that Ellen makes, too – it’s nice and thick, makes inks look even softer from the back, and since in my card shared in their newsletter didn’t have a video companion, I wanted you to see the vellum in motion. Thus, stamping with dies was born for my cards! Watch the video below, or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube!
These cards were helped along by the Craft Assistant and Magnetic Material of course…I’ve shown the use of them with airbrushing, but they made all the difference in holding the paper steady so I didn’t get fingerprints or grease on the paper. It really is amazing what you can do with these products when it comes to learning how to stamp on vellum!

Wasn’t that fun? Once you learn how to stamp on vellum with dies, you can make a whole sheet to get a bunch of cards out of it! I love when multi-use takes the cost out of our craft supplies.
Love the card.
thanks for sharing the video. I love velum, it dresses up an ordinary card so much! Hugs, Pat
My aunt is an amazing lady who always has a way of making every person she meets feel like they are extraordinary.
Thanks for the video. They must be time consuming to make but they sure make directions clear for us.
Loved the card and the use of the magnetic masking material. I will have to try it.
There are so many women to whom I need to say thanks and love you: to my “daughter”-in-law, Karey, who is the best Mommy to my “little guys” and true love to my son; to my “Sistas”, my close friends with whom I worked and with whom I still maintain close contact; with my other strong women friends, from whom I am able to sustain my strength to nurture others; to all the amazing artists, scrapbookers, and cardmakers out there from whom I have learned SO much!! Thank you!
great technique mahalo!
I like that technique and the magnetic sheets are pretty cool.
Another awesome technique to try! I am in love with creating all over floral patterns right now. The cards were just lovely and always a delight to watch your videos.

Great card, love the use of vellum but, that craft assistant is amazing. Thanks for the share!
Awesome tutorial. I love the fact of coloring on vellum.
Vellum runners don’t work really any better than what you did here, as far as hiding adhesive in my opinion… Love these flowers.

Just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing. And thanks for including the tips for fixing the things that didn’t go so well! THAT is what helps us beginners so so much. I was wondering about your paper trimmer. I think I would like a guillotine type trimmer, but just a small one. Didn’t see it in the products. And thanks for the chance to win this wonderful product.
Someone else mentioned it too – whoops! I’ve added it now 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques for stamping on vellum, love your card.

Great video. thank you for the instructions.
Awesome giveaway! TFS! I love the cards! My sister is amazing! She is forgiving and fun loving and is always there for a good chat when you need it!
This is very clever…I was wondering how you “stamped” the vellum! 🙂
It was probably “technically” inking, not stamping….*grin*
