Masterfully Made card – Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are creating projects based on a Tic, Tac, Toe board. I have chosen to use the line down the left hand side – Thank you, Embossing & DSP. I used the Masterfully Made designer series paper and the layered Florals 3D Embossing Powder to make my card.

Tic Tac Toe – 1

Colours used in this card:

 

To recreate the Masterfully Made card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Masterfully Made dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Fresh Freesia

Using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder I ran the panel of dsp through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine using the Speciality Plate. I placed the embossed piece on my Glass Mat with the de-bossed side uppermost.

The Starry Sky ink pad was then repeatedly rubbed over the dsp panel until the colour was dark enough and the Fresh Freesia dsp showed up nicely. The inked dsp panel was then glued to the  5⅜” by 3⅝” layer of Basic White card.

One of the pretty frames from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set was stamped onto scrap Fresh Freesia using Starry Sky ink. The frame was then punche out using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The sentiment, from the Biggest Wish stamp set was stamped inside the frame using the same ink. I punched a white hexagon, cut it in half from side to side and glued it to the reverse of the sentiment with a little bit peeking out at the top and the bottom. The sentiment was mounted over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

Projects made for my March 2024 Stamp-a-Stack event using the gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Hills of Tuscany Stamp-a-Stack – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Today, I am sharing the projects designed for my Hills of Tuscany Stamp-a-stack. I love, love this stamp set and couldn’t wait to share it with my crafty ladies. There is a little bit of a learning curve with this set and to help the ladies out I created a cheat sheet to help them work out what each image does. I also suggested that they use their grid paper to test drive all the images in 1st and 2nd generation ink and to starting putting images together.

All the card bases, layers, die cut pieces and embossed pieces to make 20 cards – 2 each of 10 designs plus envelopes and as the order went in during Sale-a-Bration each lady also received the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set and as usual there was a little chocolate treat to enjoy.

A gorgeous floral thank you card made using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! and the reverse embossing technique

Reverse Embossing with Layered Florals

Today I have been trying out a technique that is new to me …….. and I LOVE it! I saw fellow demonstrator Tina Zinck demonstrate this on Youtube and couldn’t wait to try it. I use the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder to make my card.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the layered florals card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lolly card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I embossed one of the 5½” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.

The embossed panel was then placed face down on my desk. I added colour to the petals of the larger flowers with Fresh Freesia ink. Tina used small Blending Brushes but I used Sponge Daubers and they seemed to work just as well.

The centres of the larger flowers were added with Daffodil Delight ink. The smaller flowers were inked with Lemon Lolly ink and all the leaves were coloured with Granny Apple Green ink.

I then repeatedly ran my Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad all over the reverse side of the embossed panel to build up the depth of colour. Love how the dark ink makes the bright colours pop out.

The inked panel was glued onto the Lemon Lolly panel and a length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon wrapped around it. The whole piece was then glued to the Fresh Freesia card base.

Using Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine and an embroidery needle I stitched around the die cut circle. Annoyingly, I had smeared the the sentiment whilst stitching……..urghhh. After a lot of fiddling around,  I stamped the sentiment again onto the scarp Basic White card and die cut it with the smallest circle dies from the same set. This was glued over the smeared ink and the stitching still looked great. Win, win.

A trio of adhesive backed Solid Gems finished the card.

A pretty lavender farm themed card made using the Hills of Tuscany stamp set - Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hills of Italian Lavender – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am loving the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and have used it to make a pretty water coloured card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

 To recreate the Italian lavender hills card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾”
Basic Black card – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using a Spritzer, filled with water, I sprayed the piece of Fluid 100 card with enough water to make it wet.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Hills of Tuscany stamp set used to make a pretty lavender farm themed card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

The large curved image was inked in Highland Heather ink, then lightly spritzed with water before I stamped the image at the bottom of the Fluid 100 card. The colour didn’t look right and I realised the stamp had picked up a little Old Olive ink from the scrap paper the Fluid 100 was resting on – quite liked it so carried on. I stamped again in Highland Heather ink to add more ‘ground’.

The large ‘sky’ image was inked up with Azure Afternoon ink, spritzed  with water and stamped at the top of the panel, I added the small ‘cloud’ like image  using the Azure Afternoon ink in 1st & 2nd generation to add some depth. The panel was set the panel to one side to dry.

When the panel was dry, I added the more defined ‘ground’ images with 1st & 2nd generation Gorgeous Grape ink. This time I didn’t spritze with water. The dotty image was stamped to give the impression of flowers.

The house was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the roof added in Night of Navy ink. I used the Black Stampin’ Write Marker to add some definition to the windows. I managed to stamp the roof slightly squint but quite liked the effect so left it.

The group of trees were stamped in Garden Green ink. I used a Waterpainter to smear the ink on the trees – this gives a greater depth of colour. When completely dry, the finished piece was glued to the Basic Black panel, then to the 3¾” by 2¾” piece of Basic White card.
