Hello and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Sounds of Christmas’ I have chosen the pretty song -Oh, Christmas Tree- and a Christmas tree is not properly dressed with out a bauble. I have water-coloured my bauble which I stamped using the Bright Baubles stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the water-coloured bauble, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Smoky Slate card – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – ⅜” strip

I stamped the pretty bauble in Basic Gray ink onto the Smoky Slate panel and added the string using a ruler and the Basic Gray Stampin’ Write Marker.

Watercolour pencils were used to colour in parts of the bauble. I used pencils from both sets – White, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler.

The stamped layer was added to the smaller panel of Basic White using Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I have chosen to share some Jolly Snowflakes cards using a modified version of a one sheet wonder,

Colours used in this project are:

4 panels of Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” with one rounded corner
4 panels of Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

The next snowflake was added in Highland Heather ink, again concentrating the stamping along the cross shaped join lines of the Basic White card pieces. The Coastal Cabana Snowflake was added next and lastly the Gorgeous Grape snowflake.

I separated the stamped panels and added each to either, a Coastal Cabana or a Gorgeous Grape panel.

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅞” by 3”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

I inked up one of the gorgeous background stamps from the Natural Textiles stamp set in Smoky Slate ink. I stamped off twice before stamping the image down the left and right side of the Smoky Slate card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Evergreen Trees stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set for a pretty Christmas card

I inked the same stamp again with the same ink, stamped off once then stamped onto the strip of Basic White card. I repeated this 3 times covering the whole panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Evergreen Trees stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set for a pretty Christmas card

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

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut the scalloped border using the Shaded Spruce card and added it behind the stamped layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of Silver Mesh Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow, securing the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

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.
