A pretty birthday card made using the Hydrangea Hill stamp set for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Hydrangea Haven for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is the new January – June and Sale-A-Bration catalogues which have just gone live. So many lovely things in both catalogues and who doesn’t love the opportunity to earn free goodies. I have chosen to use the gorgeous Hydrangea Haven stamp set to work with today.

If you have joined me from the lovely Stacey Marsh, welcome and please continue to hop around the demonstrators and get lots of inspiration.

To recreate Hydrangea Hill card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo – 4¾” by 2¾” – rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 Water Color Paper – 4⅝” by 2⅝” – rounded lower right corner
Scrap Just Jade card
Very Vanilla – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower right corner – for the inside

I inked up the pretty hydrangea stamp with Versamark ink and used the Stamparatus to stamp the image onto Fluid 100 Water color paper. I did this twice to ensure that I had a good image on the textured card stock.

Using Flirty Flamingo ink, squeezed into the lid of the ink pad and a Water Painter Brush I painted the flower head. As the color dries and added more in selected areas to deepen some of the flowers. I then added some Cherry Cobbler ink to selected areas of the flower. I used the same technique to add Just Jade ink to the stem and leaves.

I began by gluing the panel of Flowers For Every Season dsp to one of the large panels of Whisper White using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of the lovely Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Gay Granite card base.

On the smallest panel of Whisper White I stamped the adorable donkey in Gray Granite ink. I coloured it in using the following Blends Markers – Gray Granite, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Ivory.

Using some images from the My Meadow stamp set I added some flowers at the feet of the donkey. He looks so cheeky doesn’t he……. I added the tiny birds in Gray Granite form the same stamp set.

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto Whisper White card and punched it out with the Classic Label punch. It was added to the card front with the liquid adhesive.

To complete the card I added a trio of 2020 – 2021 In Color Dots and a bow made using the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon.

A birthday card featuring a row of rainbow lollies and made using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Rainbow Lollies

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Showcase Blog Hop.  Today I am sharing a sweet rainbow lollies birthday card made using the gorgeous Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and some rainbow colours. I am so ready for warmer weather, aren’t you?

To recreate the rainbow lolly card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White – 8” by 8” – scored at 4” – Rounded upper left corner
Granny Apple Green – 7½” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 7¼” by 3¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Whisper White

I began by stamping the lolly sticks using Crumb Cake ink. I started with the one in the middle and worked outwards.

Using Daffodil Delight ink, I inked up both parts of the lolly and stamped them above the lolly stick. The next lolly was stamped with Poppy Parade ink, then a Granny Apple Green ink, then Balmy Blue ink and finally Highland Heather ink. They got slightly bigger as I went along the row……….
