Using a scrap of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the candles. I find it easier to line up the stamps if I start with the patterned stamp. I stamped the striped candle in Granny Apple Green ink. The spotted candle was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and the second striped candle in Calypso Coral ink. I then added the solid background layer to the candles in 2nd generation Lemon Lime Twist ink, 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink and 2nd generation Grapefruit Grove ink. The flames were stamped in Mango Melody ink.

Using one of the Rectangle Stitched dies and my Big Shot I cut out the stamped image. The rectangle was actually too long so I moved the die to shorten the rectangle and ran it back through the Big Shot. I the cut the Blueberry Bushel panel ⅛” bigger on all sides using my Trimmer. These were adhered together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I glued the Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel strips to the card front and added the candle piece overtop on Dimensionals. The card was finished by adding a trio of Gingham Gala Sequins.

I stamped the candle inside the card and on the front of the envelope.

Such a simple card but so effective. I do hope you like it.

A lovely card made using the Humming Along stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Humming Along

Today I am sharing a card using the sweet Humming Along stamp set. This is not a set I have but luckily I was over at one of my oldest friend and downline Jo’s house today and she wanted some tips on using Blends pens and this was the perfect set to demonstrate with.

To recreate the Humming Along card you will need;

Crumb Cake card base 8¼” by 5⅞”
Crumb Cake cardstock 5¼” by 3½”
Poppy Parade cardstock 3¾” by 3” – rounded upper right and lower left corners
Thick Very Vanilla cardstock 3⅝” by 2⅞” – rounded upper right and lower left corners
Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside

The lovely flower was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, personally I find the blends markers blend more smoothly on the Thick cardstock, my first tip. I used the the Dark Real Red and Dark Poppy Parade Blends for the flower. I usually start with the dark colour then blend it out with the lighter colour, going back when it is dry and adding more dark shading as necessary. The leaves were coloured with Dark Granny Apple Green and Light Old Olive. The stamen was coloured with the Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Pineapple Punch.

A lovely Spring wreath card made using the Bitty Blooms Punch pack set from Stampin' Up!

Goodbye to the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘goodbye to the 2018 – 2019 catalogue’. If you have joined me from the talented Laura Mackie’s blog, welcome, I am sure you loved her project. I had real difficulty with this theme as there are so many lovely things retiring that it was hard to make a choice. Eventually I went with the lovely little Bitty Blooms Punch Pack. I was delighted to see them in the Spring/Summer catalogue as I have really missed tiny flowers and I am gutted to see them going so soon. I have also used a lot of other retiring products to make this card; in fact I think the only thing I have used that is carrying over, other than the cardstock is the Sprig Punch.

To recreate the Bitty Blooms card you will need;

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Early Espresso cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3 – 1 for the inside, 1 for the outside
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Gray
Scrap Wood Textures dsp – Retiring

I used the retiring Swirly Scribbles dies and the Big Shot to die cut the open swirly circle from the Wood Textures designer series paper. I cut three circles and glued them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to give a bit of dimension. The piece was then added to one of the Whisper White layers using the same glue.

Beautiful Promenade emboss resist technique

Today I am sharing a card made using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set…….I am addicted to this set at the moment, it is so versatile – and the emboss resit technique.

To Recreate the Beautiful Promenade card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base
Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2”

I began by rubbing the Embossing Buddy down the strip of Whisper White cardstock to remove any static or oils from the cardstock.

Lovely As a Tree – retiring!

Today I am sharing a card made for the latest team challenge – the theme is the retiring list. It will come as no surprise to those of you who know me that I have chosen the Lovely As A Tree stamp set. This was the first stamp set I bought and I have used it many, many times.

To Recreate the Lovely As a tree card you will need;

Lovely Lipstick card base – rounded upper right corner
Basic Black 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Wood Textures dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside – rounded upper right corner
Basic Black – 1⅛” by ¼”
Wood Textures dsp 6” by ¼” x 2

I masked off an area of the Wood Textures dsp using Postit Notes. I opened the Daffodil Delight ink pad and pressed it onto a clear block and added a drop of glycerine. I mixed the ink and the glycerine together with a Sponge Dauber; I find the ink goes onto the paper much more smoothly with the addition of the glycerine.

Starting off the dsp I sponged the ink onto the masked off area and repeated the same steps with the Grapefruit Grove ink and the Lovely Lipstick ink. I overlapped the inks to help with the blending.

I love peeling away the Postit’s and revealing the inked area – always a real WOW.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the gorgeous ‘pine tree’ from the Lovely As A Tree Stamp set. I knew I wanted a really dark image and it is much easier to achieve this with the Stamparatus as you can re-stamp the image as often as you need to.

The stamped layer was then added to the Basic Black panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set was stamped in Versamark onto the strip of Basic Black cardstock, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The strip was glued to the stamped panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the over-hanging edges trimmed off.

The whole panel was added to the Lovely Lipstick card base on Dimensionals.

I added a Linen Thread bow to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot and finished off with a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.
