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

Posted on August 30, 2021August 30, 2021 by Mo Rootes

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 1^st 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 3^rd 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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute counting sheep congratulations card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and using Sale-a-Bration product

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 2^nd 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.

With the masks still in place I drew in 2 balloon strings with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The masks were removed and the sheep coloured with Smoky Slate and Petal Pink Blends Markers.

The heart shaped balloons were then added to the stamped panel with Dimensionals. The whole panel was then added to the Pacific Point panel with liquid glue and then to the card front on Dimensionals.
