Autumnal Toadstools – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired to create using a Tic Tac Toe board. I have chosen to use the Fall, Fun-fold and Ribbon line and have used the Inspirational Sketches stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Autumnal toadstools card, you will need:

Early Espresso card base – 7⅛” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Early Espresso card – 4⅛” by 1¼”
Basic Beige – 4” by 1⅛” x 2
Country Woods dsp – 3⅞” by 1” x 2
Poppy Parade card – 5¼” by 3¼” x 2
Basic Beige – 5” by 3“
Basic Beige – 5¾” by 4” – for the inside

 

The strips of Country Woods dsp were adhered to the strips of Basic Beige card. These were then glued to the top ¼” flap of the card front and to the strip Early Espresso card and set them aside.

The group of toadstools were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the piece of Basic Beige card measuring 5” by 3“. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the image – Pretty in Pink, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. I also used a white gel pen from my stash to add the white dots to the toadstool caps.

The 1¼” piece of Early Espresso card with the added Basic Beige and dsp panel was lined up with the bottom edge and sides of the card base, I held it in position with a little removable adhesive from my stash. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was applied to the back of the die cut and decorated label, on the top and bottom only and the label was added it to top and bottom strips of the card front.

Colour Blocked Thank You card – 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 have used the Delicate Forest stamp set to make my card.  Click this link to see the original video from Lynne Dunn of Stamptastic Designs

Using Blending Brushes, I added Lemon Lolly ink to all three panels, varying the position with each panel. Next, I added Peach Pie ink. Finally, I added Petunia Pop ink to each masked third.

Leaving the washi tape in position I stamped a couple of the images from the Delicate Forest stamp set in Pebbled Path ink onto each panel. I carefully removed the washi tape.

I inked the sentiment, from the My Small Business stamp set, using the three colours used for blending. I started with the ‘A and N’ which I inked up with Lemon Lolly ink, having masked off the other 4 letters. The remaining letters were then inked up and the whole world stamped in the blank area.
