Ornate Layer dies and Ornate Style stamp set used for a pretty birthday card

Ornate Birthday

Today I am sharing a sweet ornate birthday card made using the gorgeous Ornate Style stamp set and the co-ordinating Ornate Layers dies. I made this card for a friend whose favourite colour is green.

To  recreate the ornate birthday card you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green – 5¼” by 4”
Soft Sea Foam – 4¼” by 3”
Whisper White – 2½” by 2¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by stamping the large floral stamp in Soft Sea Foam ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Soft Sea Foam card base to give a bit of tone on tone interest.

The large peony image was inked up using the Daffodil Delight Marker for the flower and Granny Apple Green Marker for the stem and leaves. I love that we can use the markers in this way.

Using Scissors I cut off the top and bottom small rectangles leaving the central tab. Then I cut up each of the 1¾” rectangles to form tabs for the bottom of the box. The 1” strip of dsp was trimmed off except the last rectangle next to the narrow tab.

A pretty outdoor themed birthday card made using the Mountain Air stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Camilla’s Birthday card

It was my daughter Camilla’s birthday yesterday, she was 30………how did she get to be that old! Camilla is not a really girlie girl, loves the outdoors, climbing, diving, walking etc so I made her a cute card based around these things.

To recreate Camilla’s birthday card you will need:

Crumb Cake card stock – 11” by 4⅛” – scored on the longside at 5½”
Crumb Cake card stock – 11” by 1” – scored on the longside at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼”
In Good Taste dsp – 5¼” by 3⅞” x 4
Shaded Spruce – 4 ¾” by 3⅜” x 2
Shaded Spruce – 3⅜” by 2½” x 4
Whisper White – 4½” by 3⅛” x 2
Whisper White – 3⅛ by 2¼” x 4
Scrap Early Espresso and Gold Foil

I began by using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive  to glue the 4 panels of dsp to the 4 sides of the large Crumb Cake panel. This forms the main structure of the card. I added the 2 large Shaded Spruce panels to the front and back of the card using the same glue.

I added the 1”strip of Crumb Cake card stock to the inside panels using liquid glue. The glue was only added to the 2 end pieces.

The front panel of the card was created using one of the larger panels of Whisper White and the Mountain Air stamp set. I love this set, it is so versatile. I stamped with Crumb Cake ink, Shaded Spruce ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Pool Party ink. The sky was sponged in using the Balmy Blue ink and the moon was masked using a ¾” circle punched from a Post It Note.  The stamped panel was glued to one of large Shaded Spruce panels and added to the card front using the same liquid adhesive.

I took one of the smaller Whisper White and stamped the lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. The sky was sponged in Balmy Blue and I sponged a little Crumb Cake around the base of the light house. The panel was added to one of the small Shaded Spruce panel and added to the left hand inside panel.

The 2nd Whisper White panel was stamped using the Do The Impossible stamp set which has sadly retired. I stamped the runners again onto  a Post It Note, trimmed it out using sharp scissors and used it to masked off the runners. I then stamped the mountains, trees and water using the Mountain Air stamp set. The runners were coloured using  using Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Ivory & Bronze Blends markers. The stamped layer was then glued to small Shaded Spruce panel then to the inside of the card.

For the 3rd panel I used the Mountain Air stamp set again, adhered the stamped panel to the Shaded Spruce panel then to the right side of the card.

The 4th and final inner panel was sponged using Balmy Blue ink. The sentiment from the Family Party stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink. Using the World dies  I cut the globe from scrap Early Espresso card and the stand from Gold Foil and added them to the sponged base. This was adhered to the last Shaded Spruce panel and then to the card base.

I moved the Post It Notes down ¾” and coloured the second strip with Blushing Bride ink. The third strip was coloured using Soft Sea Foam ink.

Beach huts on a palmy beach made using the Waterfront stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Waterfront

Today I am using the Waterfront stamp set to make a beach hut themed card. I have had this stamp set in my stash for a long time and haven’t used it very much as  I was a bit scared of it………….. I know, crazy. I finally realised that you just have to go for it.

To recreate the Waterfront card you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pool Party 3⅞” by 3¼” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3¾” by 3⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Daffodil Delight – ½” strip
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Whisper White

Using Sahara Sand ink I stamped the trees and palm leaves in along the bottom of the Sahara Sand card base. The daffodil delight strip was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the ‘beach’ in Sahara Sand 2nd generation ink onto the centre of the small Whisper White panel. I stamped the ‘sea’ in full strength Pool Part ink I then stamped off onto scrap paper and stamped the sky in the 3rd generation ink above the beach.

The sun was added with a sponge dauber and Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped multiple times around the image to soften the look. The stamped layer was then adhered to the Pool Party layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
