A stunning black and white daisies card using the Daisy Garden stamp set and made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Monochromatic Daisies for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is Black & White. I love a bit of monochrome, don’t you? have chosen to make a monochromatic daisies card using the gorgeous Daisy Garden stamp.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the monochromatic daisies card, you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Basic White card – 3” by ½”

I mounted the large Daisy Garden stamp onto the plate of my Stamparatus. I find it easier to get a good image if I have the opportunity to re-stamp the image.

I inked the stamp up with Versamark ink, stamped it onto the smaller panel of Basic Black and covered it with White Embossing Powder. The powder was then heat set using my Heat Tool.

Box of Pansies for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I am sharing the sweet box of pansies I have made for my Mum’s birthday tomorrow. I used a Youtube video by Sally Stampers as my inspiration

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the box of pansies, you will need:

Early Espresso card – 7” by 3” – scored on the long side at 1” and 3”
Early Espresso card – 7” by 4” – scored on the long side at 4” and 6”
Early Espresso card – 5” by ½” x 2 – scored at either end at ½”
Basic White 3 ½” by 3 ½”
Evening Evergreen card – ⅛” by 3” strips – about 10
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 2” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 4”
Pansy Petals dsp – the sheet of leaves
Scrap Basic White

Placing the short end of the larger piece of Early Espresso card at the top of the Trimmer, score lines nearest the top. I cut at 2” down to the 2nd score line. This will leave a 4” by 4” piece which will be the back panel of the box and a side piece measuring 3” with a score line in the middle.

Fold and burnish the score lines on both the large Early Espresso panels. Adhere the panels together using the 1” tabs using a strong glue, I used Tear and Tape. This forms the box.

Fold and burnish the ½” tabs on the tin strip of Early Espresso card and attach these inside the box. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this so that I could manoeuvre them into position.

Using liquid glue, I added the 3 large pansies to the back panel of the box making sure not to place them to high as I wanted the card to fit into a standard C6 envelope. I added some of the smaller flowers to the front panel using the same glue.

I accidently used a retired tag topper punch to shape the top of the gorgeous piece of Hand-penned dsp – a senior moment I fear …….. you could use either the Fancy Tag Topper Punch or the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the flower head and again repeated the process to get a good impression. The infill stamp was inked up in Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping the colour over the flower head.

Thank You Cookies for the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop where we are sharing the thank you cards made for our customers. You are currently with Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK. This month I have made a thank you cookies card using the lovely Nothing’s Better Than stamp set. Who can resist a cookie?

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the Thank you Cookies card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper right corner

 Taking one of the larger panels of Basic White I drew around the inside of one of the Tasteful Label Dies in the centre of the panel. This gave me a frame around which I could stamp the image.

Simply Hand-penned for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hog

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where the theme is ‘simple stamping’. If you have hooped on from the lovely Gez Carpenter I am sure you loved her project. I usually find simple stamping a bit of a challenge, can’t resist using lots of layers and bling. I made s simply hand-penned card using the lovely new Hand-penned Petals stamp set and it was so easy to create a sweet but simple card with this set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the simply hand-penned card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2

I stamped the sweet image in Evening Evergreen ink onto one of the smaller Basic White panels.

Using the in-fill stamps I coloured the large flower with Polished Pink ink, the smaller flower with Pale Papaya ink and the leaves in Soft Succulent ink. I love these new colours.

Stampin' Up! Meadow Dies coloured with Sponge Daubers to make a stunning thank you card

Colorful Meadow for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing a colouring technique. I have made a lovely Colorful Meadow card using the Meadow Dies. You are currently with Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK.

 Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the colourful meadow card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4 ⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Poppy Parade – 5” by 3 ¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

Taking the smaller Basic White panel and the spotty stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set I randomly stamped in Smoky Slate ink. I die cut a number of the Meadow Dies from scrap Basic White.

Using Sponge Daubers, I added colour to each flower. I used Old Olive and Just Jade inks for the stems and leaves.  The larger flower was coloured using Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler and the smaller flower coloured with Bumblebee and Poppy Parade. I dabbed the colour on and carefully and lightly sponged it over the die cut taking care not to bend or tear the fragile die cut pieces.

The flowers were added to the stamped background using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive which I applied using my Silicon Mat and a piece of Sponge.

The stamped layer was added to the Poppy Parade layer with the same liquid glue. I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the layers tying it in a bow. The panel was then mounted onto the Smoky Slate card base on Dimensionals.
