A pretty love you card for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop using the Share a Milkshake stamp set and co-ordinating set of dies by Stampin' Up!

Yummy Milkshake card for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are using up or recycling left over bits and pieces from other projects. I chose to use a Rich Razzleberry oval, a decorative oval frame, both left over from my January classes and a stamped sundae glass that I didn’t end up using on another project.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the yummy milkshake card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3¾”
Rich Razzleberry – 4” by 3” – to die cut the oval
Basic White card – 5” by 4⅛” – to die cut decorative oval frame
Rich Razzleberry card – 1½” by ½”
Rich Razzleberry card – 4⅛” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Polished Pink card

 

I ran the 5⅛” by 3¾” panel of Basic White, an offcut lying about on my desk, through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. It turned out to be a little shorter than I thought so I die cut a scalloped border from the longer strip of Rich Razzleberry card using the Penned Flowers Dies, added it to the bottom of the embossed panel and trimmed off the excess.

A pretty animal themed waterfall card made using the Day At The Farm designer series paper for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Farm Animal Waterfall Card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing ideas for pop-up cards. I have to share a waterfall card made using the gorgeous Day At The Farm dsp.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the farm animal waterfall card, you will need:

Garden Green card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Basic White card 5 ½” by 3 ¾” x 2
Day At The Farm dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Garden Green card – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Garden Green card – 4⅛” by 1”
Pear Pizzazz card – 2⅝” by 2⅝” x 3
Basic White card –2½” by 2½” x 3
Pear Pizzazz card – 2⅝” by 1⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Day At The Farm dsp
Scrap Basic White & Daffodil Delight

 

Glue the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Day At The Farm dsp to one of the large panels of Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Use the same glue to add the panel to the Garden Green card base.

Adhere the small strip of Garden Green card about 2¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus as this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

Next, insert the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Garden Green card into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines and slip the punched scalloped end of the Garden Green card under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

Use liquid adhesive at the top of each of the 2⅝” by 2⅝” panels of Pear Pizzazz and the 2⅝” by 1⅝” panel of Pear Pizzazz , adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

Using a Blending Brush add Balmy Blue ink to the 3 panels of Basic White measuring 2½” by 2½”. Cut down some of the dsp to create the effect of grass at the bottom of each of the Basic White panels.

Die cut some of the animals from the dsp using the On The Farm Dies and add then to the inked panels. Die cut some clouds using the same set of dies and glue parts of clouds to each panel before mounting the panels onto the larger Pear Pizzazz card layers.

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the tree trunks from the Paradise Palms stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. I like to use the Stamparatus with Watercolor card as I can stamp multiple times to get the depth of colour and definition I want. The palm tree tops were added with Old Olive ink using the Stamparatus. The whole panel was then glued to the Crumb Cake layer and then added to the Tahitian Tide card base on Dimensionals.

Ship at Sunset card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing a Ship at Sunset card made using the On the Ocean stamp set combined with the Oceanfront stamp set and a rainbow of colours.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the ocean card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I inked up the bottom if the ‘sky’ image, from the Oceanfront stamp set, using Daffodil Delight ink. I turned the stamp and inked up the top with Polished Pink ink. I used a Sponge Dauber to add Pumpkin Pie ink where the colours join and stamped the image down, just above the midline of the smaller Basic White card.
