Lemonade Card for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing ‘Summer fun’ themed projects. In the Summer I love sitting in the garden, in the shade with a jug of freshly made lemonade to drink and have used this idea to create my card.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the lemonade card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lolly card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Bright & Beautiful dsp – 3¼” by ¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Old Olive & Misty Moonlight

 

Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to the centre of the smaller panel of Basic White card. The strip of Bright & Beautiful dsp was then adhered to the right side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A one sheet wonder made using the baby wipe technique and the Snow Crystal stamp by Stampin' Up! to make 6 cards for the Christmas Stampatho

Snow Crystal one sheet wonder for the Christmas Stampathon

Today I am sharing the cards I made for this months Christmas Stampathon where our theme is ‘Snow & Ice’. I decided to use the large Snow Crystal stamp to make a one sheet wonder using the baby white technique and icy colours.

 

Colours used to make these cards:

 

To recreate the snow crystal card, you will need:

6 Card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape – Rounded upper right corner
6 matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – I chose Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia & Gorgeous Grape – Rounded upper right corner
1½ A4 sheets of Basic White card – after stamping these were cut down to give 6 panels measuring 5¼” by 3½” and rounded the upper right corners
6 Basic White panels – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside – Rounded upper right corner

I began by laying 3 damp baby wipes on a plate, one on top of the other. I then added spots of re-inker to fill the centre of the baby white layers to make a sort of ink pad. I used Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Parakeet Party.

The large snow crystal image was then inked up using the makeshift ink pad and stamped down the length of the 1½ A4 sheets of Basic White card. I twisted the image around so that the colour on the stamp was different each time. I then stamped again from side to side.

The stamped sheets were then cut down into 6 panels each measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I rounded the upper right corner of each panel having decided which were to be portrait and which landscape.

I wrapped a length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon around 5 of the cards – I ran out so used a piece of the silver trim ribbon instead – the ribbon was adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panels were then added to the card bases using the same liquid glue.

I die cut 6 labels using the Something Fancy dies and stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate with Tags stamp set in either Blueberry Bushel or Gorgeous Grape ink onto the labels. These were then added to the card fronts on Dimensionals.

The same image was then mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate and stamped in the same ink onto the Silicon craft sheet. I repeated this step to make sure I had a good strong image.

I lifted the silicon sheet up, turned it face down and placed it onto the Basic White panel next to the previously stamped turtle. I rubbed it lightly and left it in position for a minute or two to allow the ink to transfer.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight Blends to colour in the flower. The ground was coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Pens and the small grassy image was stamped in 1st & 2nd generation Granny Apple Green ink. A Blending Brush was used to add some Balmy Blue ink to the ‘sky’.
