An embossed Christmas card and using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks by Stampin' Up!

Adorning Designs for the Ink and Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop where we are showcasing tools. I have chosen to use the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks to make a pretty embossed and inked Christmas card.

Colours used in these projects are:

To recreate the Adorning Christmas card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 6” by 6” which I later cut down to 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”

I often forget about our masks but when I remember to use them, I love them. They are so versatile -did you know you can dry emboss using masks? This is only one of the cool techniques you can use masks for.

I chose the snowflake mask for my project today and if we are talking about tools, as well as the Masks I am using our great Blending Brushes

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Firstly, I chose the snowflake mask from the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks set. I knew I wanted to emboss my cardstock using the mask but wasn’t quite sure how to do it. After a bit of trial and error I found that the best combination was:

Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Base plate (1)
Clear acrylic plate (3)
Silicon Mat
Basic White card
Mask
Gray 3D Embossing Plate (4)

I kept the mask in place on top of the card stock, taped the mask down to some Grid Paper to hold it still and began to add colour using Blending Brushes.

Beginning at the bottom I applied Pool Party ink – I think my Blending Brush wasn’t clean as it looks like Granny Apple Green!

Next, I added Coastal Cabana ink, followed by Fresh Freesia ink and finally Highland Heather ink. I removed the mask and cut the panel down to 5½” by 3¾” using my Paper Trimmer.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the embossed panel to the Coastal Cabana card layer.

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added the whole panel to the Highland Heather card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card in Highland Heather ink. I used the Seasonal Labels dies to cut the sentiment out.

I added the label to the card front, over the ribbon and secured it down with Mini Glue Dots.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Pastel Pearls.

I made a second card in the same way but this time when the mask was removed, I added the left-over colour on the Blending Brushes to the background.

Tic Tac Toe Challenge for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge. I have chosen the diagonal line with Jewels, Ribbon and Christmas to make my card.

Colours used in this project are;

 To recreate the Tic Tac Toe card, you will need:

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Gold Glimmer Paper – 5¾” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3”
Basic white care – 5⅞” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White strip – 3” by ½”

I ran the 5½” by 3” panel of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Embossing Plate and the Wintry 3D Embossing Folder. I chose the one with the snowflakes, so pretty.

Using the large outline star from the Christmas Trimmings Dies I die cut a star from the centre of the God Glimmer panel, making sure to stay away from the edges. The embossed panel was then glued to the Gold Glimmer paper using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I ran the 5⅞” by 1½” piece of Basic White through the die cutting machine with the scalloped edge die from the Scalloped Contour set of dies. The scalloped edge was then added to the embossed panel with the liquid glue. The whole piece was added to the Evening Evergreen card base.

The sentiment from the Stars Are Shinning stamp set was stamped on the thin strip of card in Evening Evergreen ink and trimmed down with scissors. I added it to the card front with glue and a piece of Dimensional at the right edge.

The tree trunk was die from the Soft Suede card using the Beautiful Trees Dies and added to the embossed card with the same liquid glue then trimmed off the overhang. I then die cut the tree canopy from the Old Olive card and added it with the same adhesive and trimmed it also.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Beauty of the Earth dsp and added Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with my Banner Triple Punch and added a piece of Fine Art Ribbon to the bottom before adding it to the card front on Dimensionals.
