Tuscan Cypress Trees for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are expressing our gratitude with thank you cards. Mine is inspired by a card made by my upline, the lovely Mikaela Titheridge using the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Tuscan Cypress card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 5¾” by 4” – rounded upper left corner
Shaded Spruce card – 4⅞” by 2½” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4 ¾” by 2⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White strip – ⅜” wide
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

 

I stamped the large solid carrot, upside down, in Shaded Spruce ink onto the small panel of Basic White and added the shadow image using Evening Evergreen ink. These ‘trees’ remind me so much of the Cypress Trees common in Tuscany. The smaller trees were stamped in 1st and 2nd generation Old Olive ink.

The short grass was added with 1st and 2nd generation Old Olive ink using the shadow from the large carrot stamped from side to side. I added the larger tufts of grass from the Oceanfront stamp set in the same Old Olive ink.

Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink to the sky have masked off a small circle for the sun/moon. The decorated panel was then adhered to the layer of Shaded Spruce.

I stamped some dotage in the upper left and lower right of the Balmy Blue panel but didn’t really like it. I then ran the panel through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I liked this better. I wrapped a piece of Variegated Ribbon around the panel before gluing it to the Balmy Blue card front and adding the stamped panel over top on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink onto the ⅜” strip of Basic White card, trimmed down and added to the card front on a Dimensional.

A trio of For Everything Fancy Sequins completed the card.

I love it and I hope you do too.

Please continue around the hop to see what inspiration my stamping friends have come up with today.

Friendly Gnome card

Posted on by

I have been playing with the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set, combining it with the Tree Rings Hybrid Dies and Embossing Folder to make a sweet card.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the friendly gnome card, you will need:

Thick Very Vanilla card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Soft Suede card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Dandy Designs dsp – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Very Vanilla, Old Olive & Soft Suede

I clipped the Tree Rings Die into the Tree Rings Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with a 5⅞” by 4⅛” panel of Soft Suede card. Love that this die cuts and embosses at the same time.

Using the same embossing folder I embossed some scrap Very Vanilla card then die cut the inner piece for the tree ring I wanted. I used a Blending Brush to add some Crumb Cake ink to the Very Vanilla piece and glued it to the tree ring being careful to line up the notches. This was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the ice cream top onto scrap Very Vanilla card with Mango Melody ink. The straw was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto the same scrap card and both images were die cut using the same set of dies. I used liquid glue to adhere the die cut images together and then to add them to the smaller Very Vanilla panel. The whole piece was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using product form the January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue. I have chosen the adorable ‘Playing in the Rain’ stamp set and dies to make my card.

To recreate the playing in the rain card, you will need:

I began by gluing the two panels of Dandy Designs dsp to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The adorable rabbit was stamped onto the 4⅛” by 2¾” panel of Basic White card. I then used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut out the image.

Using the following Blends Alcohol Markers I coloured in the image – Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake. The coloured image was then adhered to the slightly larger panel of Calypso Coral card using liquid glue. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Thanks a Bunch stamp set was stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto scrap Basic White card, I trimmed it down and added it to the card front. A double bow made from White Baker’s Twine was tucked under the raised image and secured using a Mini Glue Dot. A scattering of Loose Daisy Embellishments completed the card.
