My January 2022 classes featured a trio of cards made suing the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp by Stampin' Up!

Daffodil Classes

Today I am sharing the project made at this week’s classes using the Daffodil Dies and co-ordinating Daffodil Afternoon dsp. Each person attending class received a 6^ by 6” pack of the Daffodil Afternoon dsp to use for their cards.

Colours used in these projects are:

 

Offset Slimline card

Pear Pizzazz card – 6” by 2¾”
Very Vanilla card – 11¾” by 2½” scored and folded at 5⅞”
Daffodil Afternoon dsp – 5¾” by 2½”
Very Vanilla – 4½” by 3½” – Die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry & Pear Pizzazz

We added the folded Very Vanilla card to the Pear Pizzazz panel.

The piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp was added to the front of the Very Vanilla panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We ran the die cut scalloped rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. This adds texture without fussiness. The rectangle was then added, offset to the card front.

We then die cut the pieces for the daffodil and leaves from scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz card. The leaves and stem were added to to the card front with liquid glue. The pieces of the daffodil were stuck together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, we added a bow made from the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

Tryptic Card

Mossy Meadow card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight card – 5⅜” by 2⅛”
Daffodil Afternoon dsp – 5¼” by 2”
Daffodil Delight card – 1⅝” by 2⅝” x 2
Daffodil Afternoon – 2½” by 1½” x 2
Basic Black card – 2½” by 2”
Very Vanilla card – 2½” by 2”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A tryptic card made using the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp for my January 2022 classes

After cutting the piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp to the sizes given above, we adhered each piece to the slightly larger Daffodil Delight layer.

These panels were then added t the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We backed this with a Basic Black punched piece cut in half and added to the back. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

This is such a simple card to put together and is a great way to use dsp.

 

Strips of dsp card

Very Vanilla card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pear Pizzazz card – 5⅞” by 3”
Very Vanilla card – 5¾” by 2”
Daffodil Afternoon dsp – ½” strips

 

The Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp by Stampin' Up! used to make an striped card for my January 2022 classes

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty striped card made using the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp for my January 2022 classes

We cut ½” strips from our dsp sheets and added them to the Very Vanilla strip with glue. The excess pieces were trimmed off with scissors.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped border on one side of the Pear Pizzazz panel and added the panel of dsp strips with liquid glue.

We placed the piece on the card front for placement before stamping the sentiment in Old Olive ink.

A piece of the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and the whole panel was then added to the Very Vanilla card front on Dimensionals. A bow made from the same ribbon was added to finish the card.

The stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper by Stampin' Up! and used to make a clever fun fold card

Beauty of the Earth dsp

Today I am sharing a simple but clever card made from the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper. I saw an example of this style of card made by fellow demonstrator Julie Davison and had to try it myself.

Colours used in this project are;

To recreate the Beauty of the Earth card, you will need:

Beauty of the Earth dsp – 12” by 4” – scored at 5 ½” and 11” on the long-side
Bumblebee card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 3 ¾” by 2 ¼” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Soft Sea Foam. Mossy Meadow & Basic White

I folded and burnished on the 5½” score line and again on the 11” score line, but this time folded it back on itself. I glued the 1” strip down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It makes such a nice contrast don’t you think?

The tree trunk was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto the Basic White panel. I added the tree canopy in Mossy Meadow ink and the more detailed leafy layer in Bumblebee to give a more textured look.

The stamped panel was added to the Bumblebee layer and then to the dsp card front. This serves to give the card some rigidity.

The same tree trunk was stamped again in Soft Suede ink onto the small panel of Soft Sea Foam. I stamped the tree canopy and leaves again in the same way onto scrap Soft Sea Foam and die cut using the Beautiful Tree dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. The canopy was added to the trunk with the liquid glue. I added a speckle of green spots around the tree image. The panel was added to the card front with Dimensionals.

A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness 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, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness 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.

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1st and 2nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink.

I lined up the following Whisper White panels – The 2 panels measuring 3⅞” by 2⅜” and the 3⅞” by 3⅜” panel. I inked up the detailed Mountain stamp with Night of Navy ink. I repeated this step on all the panels. I cleaned the stamp with the Shammy and turned it over. I inked it up again with Night of Navy ink, stamped off the first layer of ink – 2nd generation – on my grid paper the stamped again on the Whisper White panels, slightly above the original image. I cleaned the stamp again and inked up in Highland Heather. This was stamped off twice before stamping on the panel.

I stamped the small house from the Snow Front stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added ‘ground’ using a stamp from the same stamp set and Early Espresso ink in 2nd and 3rd generation ink.

Lovely bee themed card made for the January classes using Stampin' Up! products

Golden Honey Bee January Classes

Today I am sharing the cards we made in this months classes using the lovely Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies. My husband and I kept bees for many years before our hives were decimated by the varroa bug but we are still eating through the honey they gave us.

Each lady coming to class this month was given a 6” by 6” pack of the Golden Honey designer series paper (dsp) to use in class, the remainder they took home to add to their stash. This dsp is one of the choices you can choose for free from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue with a £45 order.

To recreate the Inter-Locking Gate Fold card you will need:

Crushed Curry – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored on the long side at 2⅞” at either end
Whisper White – 5⅝” by 4”
Basic Black – 4” by 2⅝” x 2
Golden Honey dsp – 3⅞” by 2½” x 2
Whisper White – 4” by 1” x 3
Golden Honey dsp – 3⅞” by ⅞” x 3
Scrap Whisper White

This card was inspired by a card made by a fellow demonstrator Wendy Cranford.

The ladies chose 2 patterns of dsp, one for the 2 front panels and 3 for the overlapping straps. They cut their cardstock using a Paper Trimmer.

The dsp panels were adhered to either the two Basic Black panels or the three Whisper White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The larger panels were then adhered with the same glue to the front panels of the card.

They stamped the bee and the flower on on the larger Whisper White panel, adding colour with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. The panel was then glued inside the card.

The three strips were then added to the cardfront. The top and bottom strip were glued to the left front panel and the middle strip to the right front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We used the stamparatus to stamp the bee hive or skep onto scrap Whisper White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, we stamped again using the same ink to get a really black imade. The smaller bee and flower were stamped in the same ink before all three images were die cut.

The hive was attached to the top and bottom strap using a tiny blob of liquid adhesive at the top and bottom of the hive. The bee was glued to the midde strap and the flower added to the side of the hive with liquid adhesive.

To recreate the Trio of Bees card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Crushed Curry – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 2⅞” – Rounded Upper Left corner

The large bee was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink at the top and bottm of the Whisper White panel and the strips coloured in with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker.

The ladies then die cut a large golden bee from the edge of ther 6” panel of dsp – the remaining piece of dsp needed to be 3¾” wide to use on the third card.

The stripes on the golden bee were coloured using the dark Basic Black Blends Marker and the bee added to the middle of the panel on a dimensional. The remaining layers were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

To recreate the Hive of Bees card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Scrap Whisper White card stock

The Golden Honey dsp was glued to the card base with multipurpose liquid adhesive.

The stamparatus was used to stamp the bee hive in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White. Three bees were also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. All the images were then die cut.

The stripes on the bees were coloured with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker and the hive and bees were added to the card front with Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set was stamped in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White card stock and punched out using the Classic label Punch. It was added to the card front with glue.
