Cactus Cuties card for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge and I have made a sweet card using the Cactus Cuties stamp set.

 

I added Basic White to the colours we were given:

 

To recreate the cactus cuties card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Blushing Bride card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Garden Green card – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 3⅞” by 2⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

I ran the panel of Blushing Bride card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. I wrapped a length of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the layer before adding it to the Blushing Bride card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I squeezed a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the corner of my Silicon Mat, picked it up with a sponge dauber and dabbed it all over the greenhouse frame. The frame was then adhered to the inner greenhouse piece. The whole piece was added to one of the Basic White card layers on Dimensionals.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

 

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

Using the Sweet Heart dies, I die cut the adorable little envelope from a scrap of the dsp and adhered the sides and bottom together with a Mini Glue Dot. I also die cut a circle, using the Layering Circle dies from the square of Basic White and added the envelope with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed down with Scissors to fit in the envelope. I used the Detailed Trio Corner Punch to round the top edges of the sentiment.

The Flowering Rain Boots stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a card for the Crafty Challenge Sketch Blog Hop

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink.  I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A winter/holiday season card made using the Christmas Season stamp set by Stampin' Up! for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Christmas Season for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is Winter/Holiday. I have chosen to make a pretty Christmas card using the Christmas Season stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Season card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Garden Green card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”– rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”
Scrap Basic White & Gold Foil

 

I stamped the larger leaf sprig in Soft Succulent ink onto scrap Basic White card. The holly leaves were stamped on the same scrap card in Garden Green ink. Using Cherry Cobbler ink I stamped the berries onto the scrap Basic White card and added the stalks in Soft Suede ink. Using the Seasonal Layers Dies I die cut all the stamped images.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White and die cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies. The label was added to one of the Basic White panels on Dimensionals.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I tucked the leaves and berries in around the sentiment and added a scattering of dots in Pool Party ink. I still felt something was missing so die cut a couple of the leaves from the Seasonal Layers Dies from scraps of Gold Foil and added them to the panel.

Poinsettia Bauble for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Tree Decorations’ – such a fun challenge. I have used the gorgeous Poinsettia Dies to make a hanging bauble for my tree.

Colours used in the Poinsettia Bauble are:

To recreate this project, you will need:

4” wooden circle
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼”
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil

 

Using a Big Bite hole puncher, I punched hole at the top of the 4” wooden circle. I used the Birch background stamp and Early Espresso ink and stamped it onto the circle and set it aside to dry. I mounted the stamp on a Stamparatus Plate as I find this easier to manage.

With my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I die cut the largest three flowers from the Poinsettia Dies. I cut the outline and the embossing piece at the same time.

I used a Bone Folder to curve the petals, the largest one downwards and the other two layers upwards. I adhered the middle piece to the largest piece with a Dimensional and then added the smaller flower to the middle layer with a Mini Dimensional. I cut a flower centre from scrap Gold Foil and added it with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive. I covered the petals with Clear Wink of Stella to give a bit of sparkle.

The stamped panel was glued to the Evening Evergreen layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape.

The whole panel was then added to the Petal Pink card front on Dimensionals.
