Birthday Cupcakes for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog hop where our theme is ‘Autumn/Winter Catalogue’. I have made a cute birthday cupcake card using the gorgeous Sweets & Treats stamp set. A friend has a cloche cake stand which I love so this stamp set really called to me.

The colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the birthday cupcake card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Mint Macaron – 4⅜” by 3” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 4 ¼” by 2⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Pattern Party dsp – 5⅞” by 1¼”
Silver Foil – 5⅞” by ¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – ½” strip

Using Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped a row of cupcakes along the bottom of the Flirty Flamingo card base.

I stamped 2 cupcakes using Smoky Slate ink inside the cloche. I stamped 3 cupcakes on Post It Notes and cut them out with scissors. I used them to mask the 2 cakes I had stamped and stamped a cupcake between. The three cakes were then masked and 2 more cakes were added on top. The cupcakes were coloured using Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron, So Saffron, Balmy Blue & Crumb Cake Blends Markers. I coloured the inside of the cloche with the light Pool Party Blends Marker. The stamped panel was added to the Mint Macaron panel wit liquid glue and the panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¼”

Using the tall tree, I stamped in Shaded Spruce onto the bottom of the stamped strip in 1st and 2nd generation ink. This step was repeated to fill up the bottom of the panel.

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.

Taking the inner piece I stamped the mountains, from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite ink and muddied the bottom using the small ‘cloud’ image from the Mountain Air stamp set in 2nd and 3rd generation Gray Granite. The sea and sky were both inked with Bermuda Bay ink, I just went lighter with the sky and added a 1” circle mask for the moon. The sea texture was added using a stamp from the Arctic Bears stamp set in Bermuda Bay. I place the 2 pieces of inked card together and stamped some birds, from the Mountain Air stamp set, randomly in the sky.

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite ink and repeated the step to get a slightly darker colour. I used a Blender Pen to add ink and to smooth out the colour a little. I also added a little Daffodil Delight ink as a lighthouse is nothing without a light! The lighthouse was added with glue and Dimensionals overlapping the inset panel.

Christmas Trimmings for the Ink. Stamp, Share. Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas in July’.  We have so many lovely Christmas goodies coming in the new July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue that we can sometimes overlook the Christmas sets in the Annual Catalogue. I have chosen to use one of these sets, Christmas Trimmings,  to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

T recreate the Christmas Trimmings card, you will need:

So Saffron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2 – one for the inside
Early Espresso card – 3¼” by ⅝”
Gold Metallic Speciality Paper

Using the’ basket weave’ image from the Natural Textures stamp set I stamped in 2nd generation So Saffron ink to stamp all over one of the Very Vanilla panels. This gives both colour and texture to the background. The stamped panel was then added to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the So Saffron card base with the same glue.

Next, I took the star dies, both the outline and the detailed, from the Christmas Trimmings Dies and cut them from the Gold Metallic Speciality paper.

I decided to leave all the infill pieces in the more detailed stars in situ and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set,  in Versamark ink onto the strip of Early Espresso card, covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with Scissors and added the piece to the card front on Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added a scattering of Gold Metallic Pearls.

To recreate the sparkly blossoms card, you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
De Dazzling Speciality dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞”

Using the Take Your Pick Tool and the Die Brush attachment, I poked out all the pieces from the Be Dazzling die cut. I left the centre of each flower and some of the smaller leaves in situ.

Squeezing Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon mat, I used a piece of Sponge to apply the glue to the outline Be Dazzling die cut piece. It was then added to the layer of Basic Black card.

A card for the Crafty Collaborations Vacation Blog Hop in spired by the North-East coast of Scotland

Crafty Collaboration Vacation Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Vacation Blog Hop where we are thinking about holidays. I know many people can’t wait to start travelling again and are dreaming about where they will go first. I am going to Scotland to see my family in August, they live on the North-East coast and my card reflects the sea and coast. This is a picture of the place where my Mum and Dad are from with the ruined 14th century red sandstone castle on the cliff by the beach……. just beautiful.

Colours used in this project:

 To recreate the vacation card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pacific Point card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

I began by stamping the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink onto one of the Basic White panels. I stamped the image again on a Post It Note, cut it out to use as a mask. The mask was placed over the stamped image.

The ‘cliff and beach’ image from the Arctic Bears stamp set was then stamped in Basic Gray ink. The mask was left in place and the sailing boat was added in Basic Gray ink.

Using a Blending Brush and a piece of ripped printer paper I added Balmy Blue ink to create a sky and Pacific Point to create the sea.

I used Sponge Daubers to add Granny Apple Green ink to the cliff tops, Cinnamon Cider to the cliff face and base of the lighthouse and So Saffron to the beach area. The boat was coloured using the Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake, Pacific Point and So Saffron Blends Markers.

The birds were added in Basic Gray ink before the stamped panel was added to the Pacific Point panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the Balmy Blue card front.
