The Beary Cute stamp set and Beary Cute Punch by Stampin' Up! used with the Joseph's Coat technique to make a balcony card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Bears on a Balcony card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing balcony fun fold cards. Now, I have never made one of these fun folds and spent quite a bit of time working out what I wanted to do. This card, made using the Beary Cute stamp set was inspired by a Youtube video made by the super talented Jay Soriano

 

Colours found in this card are:

 

To recreate the bears on a balcony card, you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by ⅞” x 4 – one for the back of the card to write on
Night of Navy card – 5½” by 3¾” x 3
Basic White card – 8½” by 2” – scored at 4⅛ and then at ½” at each end
Basic White card – 5¼” by 2¼” – scored at 2¼” and then at ⅜” at each end
Scrap Basic White

 

I tore a piece of copy paper into wavy strips and used them, with a Blending Brush and Night of Navy to add texture to the Night of Navy panels.

I then tried Jay’s technique with the soft pastels and drew over the dark blue lines with the Granny Apple Green pastel stick.

I used the flat end of the stick to stroke the colour upwards. I added some of the Gorgeous Grape using the pastel stick then lightly blended the colour with a Sponge Dauber.

The pastels have a tendency to smudge so I sprayed the panels with hairspray to set the colour.

The panels were then glued to the Basic White panels and were then glued to the front and inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Taking the 2 strips of Basic White card, I cut a wavy pattern along the top.

I took more of the copy paper strips and used a Sponge Dauber to stroke on Pool Party ink to give the effect of snow which would ground my bears.

I glued the inked strips to the inside of the card using the tabs at either end, making sure to  line the centre of each strip to the centre of the card.

Some I punched out using the Beary Cute Punch, the others I fussy cut out.

The sentiment was a bit of an after-thought and was stamped in Night of Navy on a scrap of inked Basic White card. I added it to the card front with liquid glue.

Earthen Textures card for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a photograph and/or colour challenge. I have chosen to make a nature themed card using the Earthen Textures stamp set and all six colours.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the earthen textures card, you will need:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gray Granite card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow card

 

The tall pot was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the smaller pot in Blackberry Bliss ink. These were die cut using the Earthen Textures Dies.

From scrap Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Mossy Meadow I die cut a selection of pretty leaves.

I placed all the die cut pieces onto the smaller Basic White panel and moved them around until I was happy with the arrangement. I moved the pots to one side and stamped the ‘ground’ image from the Trucking Along stamp set in Gray Granite ink.

Above It All Angular Christmas Tree card

Today I am sharing a Christmas card made using the angular tree from the Above It All stamp set.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the above it all Christmas card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic Black card – 2½” by 1¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using my Grid Paper, I found the centre of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and stamped the angular tree in Berry Burst ink.

The sentiment from the Rocking Horse stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic Black card in Versamark ink. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed it down with scissors. The sentiment was then added to the card front.
