Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Gray Granite, Real Red and Cinnamon Cider inks

Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where you will find lots of inspiration using this month’s colours which are Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite & Real Red. Don’t you think this is a really unusual colour combo? If you are starting the hop with me or have joined from Amanda Farlinger’s blog, you are very welcome.

To recreate the colour combo card, you will need:

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 3⅝” by 1⅛”
Whisper White card – 3⅝” by 1”

Taking one of the Whisper White panels and some Post It Notes I masked off a 1” strip about ⅔ up from the bottom.

I decided to use the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card and started by inking up the largest leafy image with Gray Granite ink. The image was stamped above and below the masked off strip.

Next, I added the round leafed image using the Real Red ink. I filled in the gaps using the 2 smaller leafy images in Cinnamon Cider ink. I love that we have the same image going in different directions.

To pull the whole thing together I added a scattering of dots from the same stamp set using Gray Granite ink. The Post It Notes were then removed and the whole layer was added to the Real Red layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Gray Granite card base using the same glue.

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set was stamped on the strip of Whisper White in Real Red ink. I decided it looked unfinished so stamped again on either side of the sentiment using the Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider inks. I liked that much better.

The sentiment strip was then added to the Real Red strip using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the card front on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love these colours together, don’t you?

A pretty floral card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where our colours are:  Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose. I have chosen to use the All Things Fabulous stamp set to make my card, If you have hoped over from Jenn Charles, I am sure you loved her great project.

To Recreate the All Things Fabulous card, you will need:.

Rococo Rose card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Coastal Cabana – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner x 2
Whisper White – 3½” by 2½” –- Rounded upper right corner

I ran one of the larger Whisper White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the subtle effect this folder gives to a project. The embossed layer was glued to the Coastal Cabana panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Rococo Rose card base with the same liquid Glue.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Poppies stamp set was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto the small panel of Whisper White. It was die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The larger flower was stamped in Rococo Rose. I stamped the inner detailed layer in full strength ink, added the middle layer in 2nd generation ink and the final layer in 3rd generation ink. I love that you can get lots of different shades from the same ink pad.

The smaller flower was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink. I find this one works better stamping the images in reverse – so 3rd generation ink for largest stamp first, 2nd generation for the middle image and full strength for the more detailed image,

The leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana, full strength and 2nd generation. All of the images were die cut using the Fabulous Floral dies. The images were then adhered to the card front with either liquid adhesive and/or dimensionals.
