I squeezed a blob of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon craft sheet and picked the glue up with a Sponge Dauber. I dabbed the glue onto the back of the rose gold die cuts and added them to the square of Basic Black card.

A beautiful card featuring the arctic bears and mountain air stamp sets by Stampin' Up! for the Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop

CASEd Bear for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we have been asked to CASE each other. CASEing means copy and share everything or copy and selectively edit and I have chosen the second version.

After a lot of research and fun looking at the blogs of my fellow demos I have chosen to CASE this card designed by Annette Elias

Annette Elias card featuring a Bear

Annette Elias card featuring a Bear

I love her style, so different from mine. I tend to go for clean and simple where Annette loves to layer and embellish. I just wish I had her talent.

Here is my simplified version of her beautiful card using 2 of my favourite bundles.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the CASEd card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Soft Suede card – 3½” by 2”
Scrap Shaded Spruce card

Using Misty Moonlight ink, I inked up the detailed mountain image and stamped it onto the panel of Basic White card. I cleaned the stamped, reversed it on my block, inked it up again and stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping it slightly higher and off set to give the mountains some depth.

I stamped the row of trees at the base of the mountains in Shaded Spruce ink.

The row of trees image was then inked in Pool Party ink, turned upside down and stamped again three times without re-inking to give the illusion of water.

I added a ½” punched circle to the skyline, to mask off a moon. Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to make the sky. The birds were added with Misty Moonlight ink. The stamped panel was added to the Shaded Spruce layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then mounted on the card front using the same glue.

The bear was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the panel of Soft Suede and trimmed out with using scissors. I could have cut it out with the co-ordinating dies but wanted it cut tighter to the stamped edge. The bear was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Christmas Pinecones Classes

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the cards made for my November classes featuring the gorgeous Christmas Pinecones Dies. I don’t know about you, but I looked at the large intricate dies and wondered how I could use them ….. other then the obvious – die cut, add to the card front and slap a sentiment in the middle. I wanted to show my ladies the versatility of cutting the die cut piece apart.

Colours used in this project are:

 

The first thing we did was to die cut the large detailed foliage die from a ¼ sheet of Garden Green card. This is the piece that we cut apart and used on all our cards.

We always start with the fiddliest, most complicated card first, the idea being that we get this over while we are still concentrating!!

We embossed panel the narrow Garden Green panel using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and added it to the smaller front flap of the Soft Succulent card base. The Gold Foil strip was then butted up to it.

We used either the pinecone or sprig to decorate the large Basic White panel and glued it to the inside of the card

We added glue to the left-hand side of the Crumb Cake scalloped rectangle – which I had cut ahead of time using the Scalloped Contour Dies, and added it to the left flap of the card base.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Garden Green   onto the white card, die cut using one of the labels from the Seasonal Labels dies and add to the Crumb Cake panel on Dimensionals.

The detailed pinecone (gold) and Soft Suede pinecone base – cut by me ahead of time using the Seasonal Labels Dies, were glued together then and added to the label front with glue and/or dimensionals.

We then snipped apart the foliage from the large die cut and tucked sprigs behind the pinecones.

We embossed the Soft Succulent panel as above and added the panel to the smaller Basic White layer and added the strip of Gold Foil to the side. This piece was then mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the label, which I had die cut ahead of time and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage behind the label.

The sentiment, from the Blossom in Bloom stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front with liquid glue.

A Row of Evergreen Trees for a customer make & take

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a row of evergreen trees card made as a make and take for my October customers. I used the Evergreen Border Punch and the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder to make this pretty card.

Colours in this project are:

To recreate a row of evergreen trees card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Pool Party card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Be Dazzling dsp – 3¾” by ⅜”
Scrap Shaded Spruce & basic White card

Using the Evergreen Forest embossing folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I embossed the Pool Party panel. The embossed panel was then glued to the Shaded Spruce panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I punched a row of trees from a scrap strip of Shaded Spruce card and cut them apart. I added them to the card front, one behind the other.
