Hi, Susan Campfield here with Suestampfield.com. I'm excited to share with you today the Two
Tier Eclipse technique. I've got lots of tips and tricks for you and different samples and
different ways that you can take this technique and use it for a variety of different purposes.
You do not need to use letters for this technique. However, that is very popular right now so
you'll see a lot of samples out there using the letter dies. So I'm going to go ahead
and start with that and then we'll explore some other options using punches and different
shaped dies.I'm going to start with a piece of designer series paper and get my letter
dies. Because I'm not doing any stamping on this, I'm just using designer paper, we're
going right to cutting out our letters. When you're using letter dies, you're going to
be happier with your spacing if you put them closer together than you think they need to
be, because the part that cuts is the center part of the die, not the outer edge. I want
them almost touching. So they're probably close enough. You also are going to be happier
with your end results if your letters are straight and lined up. If you're nervous about
them moving, you're not using the magnetic platform like I am here, you might want to
use a post it note to hold everything in place before you send it through. I've got those
all lined up and I'm going to put on my top plate and send that through. I've got my letters
cut out here and I'm just going to set the Big Shot aside for now because I've done some
precutting on my other parts. I'm going to take my dies off. I want to save the U, I
want to save the O and I want to save the middle of the O. If you're cutting a letter
that has a middle, like B or P or D or R, make sure you save that middle portion. We're
going to also push out our Y here. When yo'ure dealing with designer paper be really careful
- sometimes it can stick in your dies and might rip, so you want to be a little cautious
with that. I've got my YOU and I've got my letters cut out. As you can see, it's almost
like a camouflage technique. There are some other things you can do with letter dies where
you put a contrasting paper on the letters and that's a really cool look but it's not
what we would call eclipse. Eclipse is where it's basically a tone on tone or the same
on top of the other, and you have a little bit of a shadow effect around the letters.
So let's talk about that shadow effect. To get the most prominent shadow effect it's
really helpful to cut out another set of letters, typically I do 2 sets. What I've done here
is I've cut out the letters Y O U again in navy, and then I have another set in navy.
I'm going to adhere these together and attach them to my patterned paper. To do that I like
to use liquid glue. I'm going to slide over on my paper here so I don't get my paper all
over my work surface. I like using liquid glue for this because it's got that slide
factor where I can slide my letter into place. You just want to be careful you don't get
so much glue that you're oozing out. Now we're going to take our patterned paper Y and stick
that on top. I've got 2 navy cardstock pieces and then the one in the patterned paper. You
do not need to stack like this but it will add quite a significant difference to your
card. I am going to be mounting this on a piece of Night of Navy so I am going to get
some shadow from that because I'm going to be popping my letters up on dimensionals here.
I'm going to get a more dramatic effect if I stack it. But you don't have to, and I'll
show you some samples where I didn't - I just did the single. I'm going to adhere this to
my paper and show you what that Y would look like. When you're putting down your designer
paper you want to make sure you get some adhesive on these little bits and shapes around the
letters. When I'm using the Y I found that this part likes to pop back up if I don't
put a little adhesive on it. Since it's so small I'm going to use liquid glue for that,
and I'm going to stick that down. There we've got our letters down. Now I'm going to stick
my center of my O in there - the dies that I'm using the inside of the O seems to be
uniform whether it's right side up or upside down so it's pretty forgiving, you don't need
to worry about it being exactly perfect. I have seen cards where they pop up the center
of the O. Personally that's not my favorite because you want the letters to pop out. If
you raise that inner part of the O I think it makes it a little harder to see the O.
So it's personal preference. I prefer to stick it down. Then you're going to take your adhesive
- you can use foam strips or these little mini dimensionals are just about the perfect
size to stick on the back of your letters. For the skinnier bits of your letters you
might want to cut one of these in half and use a half a mini dimensional. So I've got
some dimensionals on there and I'm ready to stick that onto my project. I'm going to peel
the backing off of here and let me show you how that pops up. There we go. So that is
the two-tier eclipse - you've now got 2 layers or 2 tiers, and the eclipse would be the shadow
of the navy that's showing through both in the base and also on the side of the letter
because we stacked some letters behind. So that's the basics on the two-tier eclipse
technique. Here's what the inside of the card looks like. Now let's look at some other ways
to do this. And that would be stamping. There are lots - probably the most common that I've
seen for the two tier eclipse is using the letter dies and doing some stamping. For this
one there are 2 different ways you can do the stamping. You can stamp first and then
cut, or cut first and then stamp. What are the differences or the advantages to one or
the other? If you are wanting your images to be in a certain spot, like you want certain
parts of the letters covered, then you're going to want to stamp after you cut. If you
don't really care and it's kind of an all over pattern, you can stamp first and then
cut. I would just say be very cautious that your letters are straight and even and you're
not smooshing them over to one side to try to get them lined up with a stamped image,
because you'll be able to tell that's what you did. You'll be happier with your results
if your letters are straight and even. Unlike mine here that kind of go up, but that's another
... ack. I did this one in a hurry. But this is what you would do to do your stamping secondary,
and you would take your letters after cutting, so cut your letters our first, and then basically
you would stick them back in to the negative space and do your stamping. Personally I like
to put a post it note behind, because if you're using a really sticky ink when you lift up
the stamp that's all inky, most likely those paper pieces are going to stick to it and
they'll be falling in the ink, and getting all over, so I like to put a post it note
on the back sticky side up - these are black post it notes - and then stick my letters
back in. That way I know they're going to be completely in the negative space, and then
nice and flat and ready for me to stamp on. And this way I can position my stamped images
wherever I want them. If I have specific needs for my card I can put them right where I want
them. If it doesn't matter, then you can stamp it first and then punch or cut it out. Let
me show you the difference here of stacking vs. not stacking. This one I've stacked behind,
so I've got 2 J's, 2 O's, 2 Y's out of red cardstock and they're glued behind the letters.
This one I don't have anything. So it does add more dimension to put it behind but it
still is a nice card and a nice technique even if you don't stack. It's just they pop
out a little bit more if you stack behind. Let's look at some other options besides stamping
and I've got a bunch of samples of doing it some different ways. Let's talk about punching
real quick here. This is a card where I punched out an image and I stamped. So we're going
to go back to do I stamp before or after. On this particular card I didn't want to cover
the kitty's face up with the flowers. so this one I did punch the kitty first just like
this, and then I put the cat back into the negative space with the post it note. I guess
this one my kitty's going the other way - I could flip it around if I want it on this
side. I'll do it the same as my sample. There we go. Then I can go in with my stamp and
stamp. With the punches it's pretty tight to get it in here. What I've found is if you're
using stamps that are orange rubber, for instance an orange rubber stamp like this, you might
get what we call a halo effect just because of the little bit of a ridge when you put
that back in the negative space. Here I've put it back in the negative space and I've
stamped and can you see right there there's a little bit of a halo effect. It's not a
big deal - personally it really doesn't bother me and I don't think it's that noticeable.
You can see here on the finished sample if you look really close. I didn't really get
any anywhere else, and these are all outline images so it didn't matter, it just happened
to be on the one solid flower by the tail, it did show up a little bit. So that would
be an instance where if I had stamped it beforehand and then punched I wouldn't have gotten that
but I would have had to be very careful where I put my flowers. I hope that makes sense.
If you're using photopolymer stamps which are the see-through ones like this, I found
it doesn't matter - I don't get a halo effect - I think because they're a squishier surface
they tend to squish down in there and get inked no matter what. If you're using photopolymer
stamps it probably doesn't matter if you do it before or after. Then you would again just
pop up your kitty and I punched out 2 Night of Navy cats and adhered those together with
the kitty for this one. So there's an example of using a punch instead of a die and using
a shape instead of the letters. I have another shaped one here. This one again navy and white
- I love navy and white. This one with the star and then I cut 2 navy stars out and they're
mounted behind, and I stamped the spray of stars across . Just a very simple Christmas
card. The other samples I have for you are letters. I just want to jump back to the beginning
when I was talking about spacing the letters. this is the first card I did - I've got a
little Wink of Stella on here. Can you see how the YOU are spaced a little bit farther
apart than I probably would have - I was going off the outside edge of the die when I lined
them up. After cutting it I realized that I need to put them together. this one I did
stamp after I cut because I wanted a leaf coming in on each letter and I wanted to make
sure I hit it and I was being very picky on where I wanted my leaves to fall. On this
one I did stamp first, but it was a photopolymer set so it did not leave any sort of halo to
speak of. Then I did it in fall colors and even in some spring colors. I do like using
the word YOU a lot - I like 3 letter words - I particularly like 3 letter words that
don't have any double letters - it's just faster and I don't have to cut multiples of
the same letter. So that's that one. Here's another one again with YOU - it pairs up really
well with things like celebrate you and thank you and just for you and those different greetings.
Then I've got this one which again - this one I did do doubles on the letters just because
I wanted a Halloween card and BOO fit really well on the card. Here's the inside of this
one. And that is the two tier eclipse. So thank you so much for joining me today - give
this card a try - it's really fun to do and again you don't have to use letter dies - you
can certainly use a shaped punch or I'd love to see your creativity and have a lot of fun
with this one. Bye bye!
