A great masculine card made using the Welcoming Woods stamp set by Stampin' Up! and some ink blending

Welcoming Woods for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on August 13, 2021August 13, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where it is all about the males today. I have chosen to use the Welcoming Woods stamp set to make my card. Whether you have hopped over from Cheryl’s blog, loved her project or have started with me, please continue to hop to see what inspiration others have to share today.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the welcoming woods card, you will need:

Soft Suede card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 4¾” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I stamped the tree trunks from the Welcoming Woods stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White. I love all the texture and definition you get in this image; the trunks look so real.

The ‘ground’ was stamped in 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink to give the effect of an horizon.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Welcoming Woods stamp set used for a masculine themed card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I punched a circle using the 1” Circle Punch, placed it over the tree trunks to provide a ‘moon’. Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink, lightly from the horizon line to the top of the card. I kept the colour light as I wanted a wintery sky effect. The masked circle was then removed.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Using Soft Suede ink, I stamped the leaves from the Welcoming Woods stamp set onto the Soft Suede card front and added the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down and flagged with Scissors before I was added to the card.

This is a simple artistic monochromatic thank you card made using the Artistically inked stamp set to showcase the ‘eclipse technique’.

Colours used in this project are:

Poppy Parade

Basic White

To recreate the artistic monochromatic thank you card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Poppy Parade card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”

Taking the dark Poppy Parade Blends Alcohol Marker, I coloured in a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and set it aside to dry. I love that with these markers we can have ribbon in almost any colour. The ribbon was then wrapped around the larger Basic White panel and adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glue to the Thick Basic White card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

On the smallest panel of Basic White card, I stamped the long-textured image in Poppy Parade ink, right across the middle.

Using a T square ruler, I drew a straight pencil line just below centre and using the Playful Alphabet Dies cut out the letters for the word THANKS. I used washi tape to hold the letters in position whilst running them through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

The panel that the letters were cut from was glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

Using the same dies I die cut 2 more of each letter from Basic White card, glued each pair together and added the stamped letter on top. This gives each letter some height and definition. The letters were then glued into the negative spaces on the card front using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

I added a bow to the side of the word and a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I used the trio of dotted circles, stamped in Merry Merlot ink to fill in some of the white space.

The stamped panel was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Polished Pink panel. I wrapped a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

I inked up one of my Blending Brushes with Whisper White ink and started swirling the ink onto the centre of the Evening Evergreen rectangle building up the colour gradually.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Whisper White ink to the centre of the panel using circular motions to blend the ink. I added Soft Succulent ink around the White area, the Evening Evergreen ink and finally Night of Navy ink around the outer edges to give some depth. I removed the Post It Notes and added the rectangle to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card in shades of green using the Meadow Dies by Stampin’ Up!

Using the Meadow Dies I die cut a flower from Basic Black and Basic White card. The White flower was added to the Black flower, slightly off centre to give a shadow effect.
