Seashells One Sheet Wonder Cards for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using something that is about to retire from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue which retires at the end of this month. I have chosen to share a project using the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, one of my favourites and I am so sad to see it go. I have also used 3 of the colours which are also retiring, So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the seashells one sheet wonder cards, you will need:

Basic White card – 11¾” by 4⅛”
Co-ordinating card bases x 4 – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Co-ordinating layers cut to 5⅝” by 3⅞” or 5½” by 3¾” or 5⅜” by 3⅝”

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card.

The panel was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped three times around the panel before the whole piece was glued to the Soft Succulent card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Charming Sentiments stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink. I die cut it out using the Sentiment Silhouette Dies. I added the sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

Share a Milkshake card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using a colour and or picture challenge. I have used the new Share a Milkshake stamp set which will be available from the 5th January in my online shop.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the share a milkshake card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Dandy Designs dsp – 5⅞” by 2¼”
Soft Suede card – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Very Vanilla card – 3½” by 2½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Very Vanilla

 

Using the larger ice cream top image, I stamped randomly over the right-hand side of the Crumb Cake card base using 2nd generation Crumb Cake ink – i.e. I inked up the image, stamped onto scrap paper before stamping onto my card base.

The base image of the sundae glass was stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto scrap Very Vanilla card. The more detailed image was then stamped over the top in Soft Suede ink. I used the Share a Milkshake Dies to cut out the glass.

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.
