Ahhh, can you feeeeel the luuuuuuuv? It's TIME to get SMOOCHING, stamping-style! Valentine's Day might already be history, but the stamping luvvvvvvvvv remains (and since I found my camera's battery charger, I can finally post the tutorial as promised).

Kissing is a fast & fun stamping technique. It's easy-peasy and you can get some great results...believe me, do a search for "kissing" on SCS and you'll see lots of fun examples (for instance, a really cute lampshade card by leslierich caught my eye!)

We incorporated kissing at my latest Stamp Club meeting using the Big Blossom SAB set + the Paisley background...well, all except for Miss Cheryl, who despises paisley with the heat of a thousand burning suns.



First I inked up my brayer with Rose Red ink and thoroughly covered the Paisley background with it.



Leaving the paisley rubber-side up, I took the uninked flower and pressed the 2 stamps together (*smoooooch*).



When you separate the two stamps, you can see that the pattern has imprinted itself onto the rubber of the flower. Bold stamps like this are EXCELLENT for kissing :)



I stamped the now inked-up flower onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock



Here's a completed card using the Big Blossom kissed with the paisley: while you can't really see it in the scan, we used Night of Navy Craft ink with Heat'n'stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds glitter for some extra bling!
