Alcohol inked Vellum used to make stunning cards using the Artistically Inked stamp set and Artistic Dies by Stampin' Up! products

Artistically Inked Class

For this month’s classes we have been playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol using the Artistically Inked stamp set and co-ordinating Artistic Dies. This card was designed to show the versatility of the Blends Alcohol Markers.

Colours used in these projects are:

 

Adding Alcohol Ink to Vellum

To use on 2 of the cards you will need ½ a sheet of Vellum card which will be cut down and/or die cut into after being inked and allowed to dry

We began the class by creating the inked Vellum sheet. We used the dark Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.

Adding vibrant colour to Vellum using Blends Alcohol Markers by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!

We then, using a pipette dropped small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum allowing the ink to start spreading. Smaller drops were added with a paintbrush and some people blurred the lines between colours with a paintbrush. Some chose a more subtle blending by spraying the alcohol on with a Spritzer, allowing the colours to run.

The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry while we got on with making the first card.

To recreate the Single Flower card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Daffodil Delight card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner

Scrap Basic White card

Gorgeous floral card made using the Artistically Inked stamp set by Stampin' Up! and an alcohol ink to stamp technique

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inking direct to stamps using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!

Taking the largest flower from the stunning Artistically Inked stamp set, we added ink directly to the stamp using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker. The inked stamp was then misted with alcohol using a Stampin’ Spritzer and stamped down onto the Basic White panel.

The double leaf image was inked in the same way with the Just Jade Blends Marker and spritzed before stamping beside the flower.

The flower centre was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was added to the centre of the flower on a Dimensional.

We added the sentiment from the same stamp set in Bumblebee ink before gluing the stamped layer to the Daffodil Delight panel. This was then added to the Magenta Madness card front on Dimensionals.

Using the dark Just Jade Blends Marker we coloured 3 Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.

Using a 2-way glue pen we drew stripes onto the pink flower, radiating out from the centre and rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes for a little sparkle

To recreate the intricate flowers and leaves card, you will need

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Pumpkin Pie card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Vellum card – see note below
Basic Black card – 4¼” by 4”
Scrap Basic Black card

An alcohol ink technique used to create a sunning background for an intrictate die cut flowers and leaves card

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card made using the Artistic Dies and a panel of alcohol inked Vellum made using the Stampin’ Blends Markers

We cut the inked vellum panel down to 5½” by 3¾” and squeezed out some liquid adhesive onto a Silicon mat and using a sponge, spread the glue lightly over the back of the Vellum before sticking it down to the Basic White panel. The white background really makes the colours shine.

This layer was then added with liquid glue to the Pumpkin Pie panel and then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine we die cut the gorgeous intricate flowers and leaves from the panel of Basic Black card and added it to the card front using the glue on a sponge technique.

The sentiment from was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered by White Embossing Powder and set using a Heat Tool. When the embossing was dry, we coloured it using the Magenta Madness and Daffodil Delight Blends markers.

The sentiment was trimmed out and the ends flagged before it was added to the card front on Dimensionals. So pretty.

To recreate the spray of leaves card, you will need

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Magenta Madness card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Vellum – see note
Magenta Madness – 3¾” by ¼”
Daffodil Delight scalloped oval
Basic White scrap

Alcohol inked Vellum used to die cut stunning delicate leaves for a pretty card using Stampin' Up! products

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inked Vellum used to die cut stunning delicate leaves for a pretty card using Stampin’ Up! products

From the left-over panel of inked Vellum we die cut the intricate leaves and added them suing the glue on a sponge technique to the panel of Basic White. This was then added to the Magenta Madness layer using the liquid glue.

The strip of Magenta Madness card was then added with liquid glue to the bottom for the die cut leaves. The whole piece was the added to the Thick Basic White card front with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Magenta Madness ink onto scrap Basic White, punched out using the Double Oval Punch and glued it to the Daffodil Delight scalloped oval punched out using the same punch. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker we coloured in a piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, tied a bow and added it to the card front. We also coloured a trio of Basic Pearls with the same pink Blends Marker and added then to the card front.

Such striking cards, I hope you like them.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty floral blessing card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Blessing for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp. Share blog Hop where we are showcasing a project we have been working on. I am sharing a card made using the Season’s Blessing stamp set and an unusual colour combination.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the Blessing card, you will need:

Coastal Cabana card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 4” by 2”
Scrap Basic White card

I began by embossing one of the larger Basic White panels using the gorgeous Timeworn Type Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cit & Emboss Machine. This embossed layer was then adhered to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Coastal Cabana card base with liquid glue.

The double leaf image was stamped twice in Misty Moonlight ink onto scrap Basic White card. The small and medium leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto the scrap white card, again two of each leaf. The small flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto the scrap. The whole lot were then die cut using the Seasonal Basket Dies.

I tucked the double leaves under the label and adhered them with liquid adhesive. The smaller Coastal Cabana leaves were added to the label with the same liquid glue. The larger leaves were then added on Dimensionals. I added the flowers using a combination of Dimensionals and liquid glue.

I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry. Doesn’t it look cool?

When the Vellum was dry, I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front with liquid glue.

Blended Hand-penned Birthday card for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

It is time again for our monthly Ink & Inspirations blog hop and our theme this month is ‘Sweet Suite’. So many lovely suites to chose from…….…. such a hard decision. Eventually I settled on the Hand-penned Suite and made a simple blended hand-penned birthday card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Blended Hand-Penned birthday card, you will need:

Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Highland Heather – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – Rounded upper left corner
Hand-Penned dsp – 4 ½” by 2”
Scrap Basic White

I used Highland Heather ink to stamp the sentiment onto one of the panels of Basic White card.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped piece to the Highland Heather layer and using the same glue mounted the panel to the Mint Macaron card base.

I accidently used a retired tag topper punch to shape the top of the gorgeous piece of Hand-penned dsp – a senior moment I fear …….. you could use either the Fancy Tag Topper Punch or the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.
