A traditional Christmas card made using the Christmas Season and Peaceful Deer stamp sets by Stampin' Up!

Seasonal Whimsy

A seasonal whimsy card made using the Stitched With Whimsy dies, the Seasonal Label dies and the Christmas Season stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the seasonal whimsy card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 5⅝” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¼”

I took the lovely Stitched With Whimsy Dies and used the larger square shape to emboss the top of the smaller Basic White panel. The die was then moved down and another square embossed at the bottom of the same panel. The squares do overlap but this will be hidden.

The embossed panel was added to the Garden Green layer using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the panel added to the Real Red card base on Dimensionals.

A good luck chick card to celebrate a retirement and made using Stampin' Up! products

Good Luck Chick

Today I am sharing a jolly good luck chick card made to celebrate a friends’ retirement at the end of August. Like me she wok as a nurse for over 35 years at Royal Papworth Hospital, a specialist heart and lung hospital here in the UK. I am so looking forward to celebrating with her with a visit to our favourite café for a special full English breakfast.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the good luck chick card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Soft Suede card – 5¾” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White ¼” strip

I started by stamping the 1st dancing chicken on the right-hand side of the slightly longer Basic White panel. I stamped the same image onto three Post It Notes and cut around the images with Scissors and used these to provide masks.

One of the masks was placed over the stamped chicken and another chicken was stamped to the left. The second mask was then placed over the top of this chicken and another bird stamped to the left.

The last mask was then added to the third chicken and the chicken with a balloon was stamped so that she appeared to be floating out of the gang. The masks were then removed.

I used the following Blends Marker Pens to colour in the chicks and the balloon – Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Bronze

The stamped panel was layered onto the Soft Suede panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Poppy Parade card base on Dimensionals.

A quirky anniversary card made using the Counting Sheep stamp set, a Sale-a-Bration item from Stampin' Up!

Counting Sheep card for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on and I have chosen to share a cute Counting Sheep card made for my daughter and son in laws 1st wedding anniversary yesterday. This gorgeous stamp set is one of the offerings in the up-coming Sale-a-Bration brochure which goes live on the 3rd January along with the July – December Mini Catalogue.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the counting sheep card, you will need:

Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pacific Point card – 5⅛” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Real Red card – 5⅞” by ⅓” x 2
Basic White card – 2 ½” by ⅜”
Scrap Basic White

I glued the 2 strips of Real Red card stock to the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the sweet little sheep in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. T he stamped panel was then removed and replace with the Silicon Mat. I inked the image again with the same ink and stamped it again on to the mat, carefully added the stamped panel – face down onto the inked Silicon Mat and rubbed firmly with my fingers to encourage to ink to transfer. On lifting up the panel the reverse image was seen. Such a great idea.

Using a Blending Brush I inked the ground with Pear Pizzazz ink. I added the tufts of grass in Pear Pizzazz to ground the happy sheep.

I stamped the sheep image again, twice, onto Post It Notes – one on the front and the 2nd on the reverse of the Post It Note. These were cut out using scissors. They were then placed over the 2 stamped images and the sky was added with a Blending Brush, Balmy Blue ink and a torn piece of copy paper.

The sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set (so happy this set has returned) was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small piece of Basic Gray card, covered in White Embossing Powder and heat set using a Heat Tool. I used a Tailor-Made Tag Die to cut out the sentiment, I actually shorted the die cut as it was too long, and added it under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

Textured Baubles for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where our theme is Clean & Simple and I have chosen to make a card featuring textured baubles made using the Textures and Frames stamp set which is one of the Sale-a-Bration offerings which are free with a £45 order.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the textured baubles card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Polished Pink card – 5⅛” by 3”
Basic White card – 5” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by ⅝”

Taking the smaller panel of Basic White card, I stamped the solid circle image from the Textures & Frames stamp set in Polished Pink ink, I added the open circle image around the outside in the same ink and ended with the stripes, again in the Polished Pink.

I repeated the stamping with Fresh Freesia ink and So Saffron ink to create the effect of baubles.

The ‘bag’ image from the Penguin Place stamped was stamped on top of each bauble to create the hanger using Smoky Slate ink. Don’t they look great.

Such a sweet card, not my original idea. I saw the bauble idea in a post  by Michelle A Pollard in one of our demonstrator sites and would like to thank her for the inspiration.

Please hop on to see what the other talented demos have to share with us today.

I laid the snowflakes along the die cut edge, allowing them to overlap and adhered them with the liquid glue. I covered the snowflakes with Clear Wink of Stella to add a little shimmer.
