A good luck chick card to celebrate a retirement and made using Stampin' Up! products

Good Luck Chick

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a jolly good luck chick card made to celebrate a friends’ retirement at the end of August. Like me she wok as a nurse for over 35 years at Royal Papworth Hospital, a specialist heart and lung hospital here in the UK. I am so looking forward to celebrating with her with a visit to our favourite café for a special full English breakfast.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the good luck chick card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Soft Suede card – 5¾” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White ¼” strip

I started by stamping the 1st dancing chicken on the right-hand side of the slightly longer Basic White panel. I stamped the same image onto three Post It Notes and cut around the images with Scissors and used these to provide masks.

One of the masks was placed over the stamped chicken and another chicken was stamped to the left. The second mask was then placed over the top of this chicken and another bird stamped to the left.

The last mask was then added to the third chicken and the chicken with a balloon was stamped so that she appeared to be floating out of the gang. The masks were then removed.

I used the following Blends Marker Pens to colour in the chicks and the balloon – Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Bronze

The stamped panel was layered onto the Soft Suede panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Poppy Parade card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Welcoming Woods stamp set, was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto the strip of Basic White and the strip was cut down and flagged with Scissors. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to finish the card.

Joseph's Coat Technique used to make a Fireworks at New Year card for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Fireworks at New Year

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop where our theme is ‘New Year’s Eve Party’, I have used the gorgeous Beauty Abounds stamp set and the Joseph’s Coat technique to suggest a night sky lit up with fireworks at New Year.

To recreate the Fireworks at New Year card, you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight – 5½“ by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3

I used daubers to cover one of the Whisper White panels with splotches of colour using the Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Pacific Point and Just Jade ink pads.

Next, I randomly stamped the larger bokeh dot image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set across the same panel, rotating the stamp each time. I then covered the panel with Clear Embossing Powder. The embossing powder was the heat et using my Heat Tool.

I then used my Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad to swipe across the embossed panel until the whole piece was covered with a heavy layer of black ink………and yes, I did get really, really messy…… Taking a small, damp cloth I wiped each or the embossed images clean of black ink revealing the gorgeous vibrant colours underneath.

Using the Playful Alphabet Dies I die cut the word HAPPY and the numbers 2021 from Foam Adhesive Sheet. Using washi tape to hold the letters together I die cut the word HAPPY and the year 2021 from the embossed and inked panel.

Each letter or number was then stuck to its foam counterpart. The embossed panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to another of the Whisper White panel. Using a Basic Black Marker I inked around the edges of the panel – in hind sight I would have been better to have used a Basic Black Panel – before adhering it to the Daffodil Delight layer with the liquid glue.

The die cut letters were then placed back in the negative spaces and the embossed patched painted with Clear Wink of Stella and voila, the card was finished.

For every £45 or placed between the 3rd Jan and the 31st March 2019 you can choose one of the items from this brochure for FREE…………..and don’t we love free stuff!

 To make the Hello Cupcake card

I stamped the cupcake base from the Hello Cupcake stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using my Big Shot and the Layering Circles Dies. While I had the Big Shot out I also die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Poppy Parade cardstock.

I added some randomly stamped tiny flowers to the circle in Poppy Parade ink and added the stamped piece to the scalloped Poppy Parade scalloped circle using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive.

I added the circle topper to the card front using the same adhesive and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Poppy Parade ink onto the card front and added a bow and some of the Red Rhinestones for an added bit of sparkle.

 I hope you like the card.

Happy birthday Party Panda's

Party Panda’s are here and ready to PARTY…….

Posted on by

The Party Panda’s stamp set is Fab..U..Lous, so quirky and cute……I love it. As a demonstrator we get to order new product a month before the new catalogues go live, such a great perk. My pre order arrived on Friday and I couldn’t wait to start stamping with the Party Panda stamp set. This fab set will be available for free with a £45 order from the 2nd of January and there are lots of other items to choose from.

Panda's for Sale-a-Bration

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 3¼” and stamped the sweet Panda with a Balloon using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same set using Real Red ink.

I coloured the balloon in using the light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends pen and added some depth with the dark Cherry Cobbler pen. I used the colour lifter pen to add a ‘light’ spot to the balloon.  I rounded the upper right corner with a Corner Rounder to add some interest.

I took a Real Red card base and added a 5⅞” by 1½” strip of Basic Black cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the stamped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the same Panda onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅝” by 3⅞” and added it to the inside of the card. I stamped the same image on a Whisper White Envelope to finish off the card.

That Panda is so cute, love it.
