I punched a circle from a Post It Note using the ¾” Circle Punch and added it to the small panel to act as a mask. Using a Blending Brush, I swirled on Tahitian Tide ink to give a sky effect. The mask was then removed and a Dauber used to add a little So Saffron to the sun.

Striped Wisteria card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am currently putting together a class featuring the Wisteria Wishes stamp set and, in addition to the 3 cards we will make in class I try to have other examples made using the set to demonstrate versatility. Today I am sharing one of my extra cards which I have called striped wisteria.

The colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the striped wisteria card, you will need:

Orchid Oasis card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Sun Prints dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Garden Green card – 1½” by ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White strip

 

I began by die cutting a scalloped rectangle using the Scalloped Contour Dies.

Okay, time for a confession, this was going to be a portrait card but………… I cut the striped dsp going in the wrong direction! Don’t you just hate it when you do something like that, so rather than just waste the dsp I turned the card around and transformed it into a landscape card. The dsp panel was glued to the larger Basic White layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Orchid Oasis card front using the same glue.

Using my Paper Trimmer, I trimmed off the top and bottom of my decorated scalloped rectangle and added it to the card front on Dimensionals. I actually quite liked how it looked.

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the strip of scrap Basic White card and then die cut using the Sending Dies. I tucked the strip of Garden Green card under the stamped panel and added the sentiment over the top.

Pretty Birds card for the Frames Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Frames Blog Hop where we are, not surprisingly showcasing projects using frames. I don’t have any of the sets of frames dies so have improvised using the Beautiful Shapes Dies and the Pretty Birds stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Pretty Birds card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Tahitian Tide card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil

 

Using a Blending Brush, I added Tahitian Tide ink to the Basic White panel.

I used 2 nested hexagonal dies from the Beautiful Shapes dies set and die cut 3 frames from scrap Gold Foil card. The gold frames were adhered to the inked Basic White panel. I stamped around the edges with Mossy Meadow ink.

Striped Romance card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we a sharing cards made for the men in our lives. I have gone a bit out of the box and made a striped romance card using the Ranunculus Romance stamp set……… not a set I would normally think of for a masculine style card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the striped romance card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – 4⅝” by 3” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 2⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Starry Sky

 

The long intricate border image was inked up with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped diagonally onto the smaller layer of Basic White card.

I cleaned the stamp on my Simply Shammy and stamped the image again in Starry Sky ink and once more in Orchid Oasis ink.

I repeated the pattern until the whole panel was covered, cleaning the stamp between each change of colour. The stamped panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Tahitian Tide card base looked a little plain so I stamped the image again in Tahitian Tide ink in the upper left and lower right corners before adding the decorative piece on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added a scrap piece of Starry night card behind the sentiment and timed it down to size before adding it to the card front.
