Tye-Dyed Penguin for the Backgrounds Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Background stamps Blog Hop where, surprise, surprise we are using a backgrounds in the project we are sharing. I have made a tye-dyed penguin card.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the tye-dyed penguin card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Fresh Freesia card – 5⅜” by 5⅝”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 4⅜” – this will be trimmed down to 5¼” by 3½”
2021 – 2023 In Color Shimmer Paper – 3” by 3”
Scrap – Black Glimmer, Daffodil Delight & Basic White

Using my Stamparatus. I stamped the Spiral Dye using Fresh Freesia ink onto the large panel of Basic White card. Leaving the stamp in position I turned the Basic White panel around 180° and re-stamped the image in Pool Party ink. This gives a cute double swirl effect. Love it.

The panel was then trimmed down, using my Paper Trimmer to 5¼” by 3½”. The panel was then added to the Fresh Freesia panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front using the same glue.

 

Using the Layering Circle Dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I cut a circle from the square of In Color 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum.  This was adhered to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot in the centre.

I added a Wonderful Snowflake with a single dimensional in the centre in the middle of the shimmer vellum.

The feet were punched from scrap Daffodil Delight card, they were added with Mini Glue Dot Mini Glue Dots.

A gorgeous Christmas card featuring a cute robin, made using the Happy Holly-Days and stamp set

Christmas Robin

My Mum loves a Christmas Robin and I made this card for her. Sadly she has dementia and no longer recognises us when we visit but I hope this cheerful robin will bring a smile to her face.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Christmas Robin card, you will need:

Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Soft Suede card – 4⅝” by 3⅛”
Fluid 100 watercolor card – 4½” by 3”
Poppy Parade card – 5⅞” by 2⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”
Very Vanilla scrap

We Brits. are so happy to have a Robin stamp, it is such an iconic bird here is the UK and especially so at Christmas. I mounted the lovely robin image onto one of the Stamparatus plates, inked it up with Sahara Sand ink and stamped in onto the small panel of Fluid 100 watercolor card. Because this card has a textured surface, I like to use the Stamparatus in case I need to stamp the image a second time.

A gorgeous Christmas card featuring a cute robin, made using the Happy Holly-Days and stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty traditional robin themed Christmas card made using the Happy Holly-Days stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I used the following colours to watercolor the robin – Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Gray Granite, Old Olive & Poppy Parade. I added a little of each colour to an acrylic block and used a Water Painter to pick up the ink and apply it to the bird. Doing it this was means that I can blend inks together to achieve different shades of colour.
