Clarity’s Blog Tutorial: How to Stamp On Designer Parchment
Hello there! Grace here.
Happy Monday! We’re back with another bloggy tutorial and set of juicy offers!
Next up in our January craft bubble is another true expert (and good friend) Jane Telford!
Jane is beyond talented… and has been kind enough to put together a brilliant step by step tutorial for us on how to turn a stamped creation into a parchment creation! I’ll let Jane take it from here. Let’s have a look…
People often see a design done in ink and say “you could do that in parchment!” but don’t always know how to go about doing that.
I took one of the samples I had done in ink with the Poppets and used that to make a card in Parchment, using a combination of stamping and Groovi techniques. Let me show you!
This is the original artwork, using stamps and ink…
and this is the piece that we are heading towards
Ingredients
Poppet Stamps: Ping (PER-ST-70384-A6) & Peach (PER-ST-70383-A6)
Black Archival Ink Pad (INK-AR-50030-XX)
Waimea Designer Parchment (ACC-CA-30934-88)
Waimea Designer Paper (ACC-CA-30892-88)
Nested Square Picot Dies & Plate (Back in stock soon!)
Deluxe Starter Kit (GRO-SK-41709-XX)
Fairy 2 A6 Plate (GRO-FY-40709-02)
Feel Good Factor SHAC Stickers (ACC-SC-31048-A5)
White Pencil Eraser (ACC-PE-30670-XX)
Perga Liner Pencils (PER-CO-70063-XX)
Perga Colours Exclusives (PER-CO-70060-XX)
Silver Brads x4 (PER-AC-70275-XX)
8×8 Card Blank (ACC-CA-30620-88)
Dorso Oil (PER-CO-70066-XX)
Tumble dryer Sheet
Method
Step 1. Choose the parchment you want. I wanted something to give me a colourful whimsy background and went with Waimea Falls. Wipe it on the back with the tumble dryer sheet. Cut out a square using the largest die in the set.
Use the plate and emboss the double white line around the edge.
Step 2. Using a black archival inkpad, stamp the Poppets into place on the front of the parchment. Leave it to dry. Depending on your ink pad, it could take a few minutes or it could take more! You can always place a piece of copy paper over and blot it gently to see if it is dry.
Step 3. Turn over to the back of the parchment and emboss the bottom line of the background using the mountains plate from the deluxe starter kit, avoiding the Poppets. A lightwave panel makes it easier!
Step 4. Using the fairy plate emboss grass along the embossed line.
Step 5. Use the mountains plate (from the deluxe starter kit) again to add the rest of the background avoiding the grasses and the fairies.
Step 6. Add some white work to the wings of the fairies and also in the grass.
Step 7. Remove the colour from the back of the Poppets and the hills part of the picture using the white ink pencil eraser.
Step 8. Colour the hills using Perga Liner B Pencils, blending with dorso oil or colour the Poppets with the Perga Colour pens to make them stand out more.
Step 9. Cut the designer paper to 7 x 7 inches and attach the parchment to it using brads.
Step 10. Mount on an 8×8 card blank and add a sentiment sticker.
Voila! How stunning is that? I love the colours.
So now we know how to transfer techniques. Very very helpful.

Thank you so much, Jane, for your inspiration! I really love the original card. Might need to try that, too. Off to stamp on parchment now!! Only done it once before. That’s my day planned! Lol. Thanks, Grace, for sharing. Hxx
What a lovely make this is the project for me toda!
Absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to try this with my groovi plates and stamps! Thank you!
Beautiful and thank you so much Jane for sharing your ideas and giving us some inspiration.
Hi Jane. Thanks from me too and I will definitely give it a try as your finished project looks superb. Xxx
Oh WOW this is stunning Jane! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thanks Grace for showcasing Jane’s work & to Jane for a great step by step. I have the mini versions of the poppets & a couple of the larger ones but feel a few more will finding their way here. These are pieces of art for the wall rather than just cards. Would make a lovely set of pictures for a little girls bedroom.
So many great projects to be done – if only housework, laundry etc didn’t have to be done !! Luckily the cooking is done by OH otherwise we would starve !!
Thank you, Grace and Jane. That’s amazing.
Thank you Jane for the tutorial. I so like the idea of using stamps and Groovi in one project. This has shown me how.
Thanks Grace, for sharing.
