I wrapped a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel before gluing the embossed piece to the Calypso Coral layer. I used Dimensionals to mount the panel on the Soft Sea Foam card front.

An embossed Christmas card and using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks by Stampin' Up!

Adorning Designs for the Ink and Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop where we are showcasing tools. I have chosen to use the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks to make a pretty embossed and inked Christmas card.

Colours used in these projects are:

To recreate the Adorning Christmas card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 6” by 6” which I later cut down to 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”

I often forget about our masks but when I remember to use them, I love them. They are so versatile -did you know you can dry emboss using masks? This is only one of the cool techniques you can use masks for.

I chose the snowflake mask for my project today and if we are talking about tools, as well as the Masks I am using our great Blending Brushes

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Firstly, I chose the snowflake mask from the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks set. I knew I wanted to emboss my cardstock using the mask but wasn’t quite sure how to do it. After a bit of trial and error I found that the best combination was:

Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Base plate (1)
Clear acrylic plate (3)
Silicon Mat
Basic White card
Mask
Gray 3D Embossing Plate (4)

I kept the mask in place on top of the card stock, taped the mask down to some Grid Paper to hold it still and began to add colour using Blending Brushes.

Beginning at the bottom I applied Pool Party ink – I think my Blending Brush wasn’t clean as it looks like Granny Apple Green!

Next, I added Coastal Cabana ink, followed by Fresh Freesia ink and finally Highland Heather ink. I removed the mask and cut the panel down to 5½” by 3¾” using my Paper Trimmer.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the embossed panel to the Coastal Cabana card layer.

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added the whole panel to the Highland Heather card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card in Highland Heather ink. I used the Seasonal Labels dies to cut the sentiment out.

I added the label to the card front, over the ribbon and secured it down with Mini Glue Dots.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Pastel Pearls.

I made a second card in the same way but this time when the mask was removed, I added the left-over colour on the Blending Brushes to the background.

 To recreate the bird in a tree card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Soft Suede card – 4½” by 3½”
Old Olive card – 3¼” by 3½”

I stamped the ’ground’ image in 2nd generation Crumb Cake ink onto the Basic White card then ran the card through my Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Bark Embossing Folder. This gives such a gorgeous texture.

The tree trunk was die from the Soft Suede card using the Beautiful Trees Dies and added to the embossed card with the same liquid glue then trimmed off the overhang. I then die cut the tree canopy from the Old Olive card and added it with the same adhesive and trimmed it also.

The detailed final layer was die cut from the Beauty of the Earth dsp and added with Mini Dimensionals. The excess was then trimmed off and the whole panel was added to the Thick Basic White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Beauty of the Earth dsp and added Gold Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with my Banner Triple Punch and added a piece of Fine Art Ribbon to the bottom before adding it to the card front on Dimensionals.

A Woody Anniversary card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the woody anniversary card I made for husband as it was our 37th wedding anniversary earlier this week. I chose to use the Welcoming Woods stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the woody anniversary card, you will need:

Calypso Coral card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Early Espresso card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card– 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Calypso Coral

I took one of the basic white panels, added a circle punched from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch and added it to the top. Then added ink using Blending Brushes. I started with Pale Papaya, adding it about half way up from the bottom.

Starting from the top I brushed on Balmy Blue ink followed by Highland Heather ink and finished with Night of Navy which I added to the top of the panel. I also added some of the Night of Navy around all of the edges to add some depth.

I removed the Post It Note to reveal the ‘moon’ and stamped the gorgeous tree trunks in Early Espresso ink. I added the shadows beneath the trees in 2nd generation Early Espresso ink. The inked panel was adhered to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped Linen thread around the panel three times before adding the panel to the Calypso Coral card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped onto scrap Basic White card and punched it out using the Duo Oval Punch. I punched the scalloped oval using the same punch from scrap Calypso Coral card and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
