A You're My World card made for the Music Blog Hop using the Watercolor World stamp by Stampin' Up

You’re My World card for the Music Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Music Blog Hop where we are sharing musically inspired projects. I was visiting my Mum recently, she is living in a care home with Alzheimer’s, and a singer was entertaining the residents and one of the songs she sang was ‘You’re My World’ which was a big hit in 1964 for Cilla Black. I vividly remember my Mum singing this to my brother and I, she had a lovely voice and loved to sing. I made my card with this song in my mind.

The Grassy Grove stamp set by Stampin' Up! and some ink blending used to make a beautiful deer at sunset card

Deer at Sunset card

This deer at sunset card has been in my mind for a while and finally I have got around to making it. I have used the gorgeous Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending.

The colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the deer at sunset card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo card – 3” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower right corner – for the inside

 

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes, I die cut a circle from a sheet of printer paper. This will act as a mask. The ‘mask’ was added over the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I used a little washi tape to hold the mask in place.

Using a Blending Brush, I swirled Lemon Lolly ink over the top three quarters of the negative circle. I added Daffodil Delight around the edge of the circle leaving the centre of the circle a lighter colour.

Flirty Flamingo ink was added to the bottom of the circle and the mask was then removed.

I inked up the meadow grass image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it near the bottom of the inked circle. The deer image was added using the same ink.

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set was originally stamped onto the stamped and inked panel below the meadow grass, but I really didn’t like it, so Plan B………. the sentiment was stamped again in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto a piece of Flirty Flamingo card. I die cut it using a die from the Sending Dies and added it, on Dimensionals, over the wrongly stamped sentiment……….much better.

A black Baker’s Twine bow was tucked under the sentiment and  a trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

To recreate the birthday balloon card, you will need:

Parakeet Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper right corner

I began by stamping the sentiment from the Biggest Wishes stamp set along the bottom of the 5” by 3½” panel of Basic White card.

The balloons were then stamped in Parakeet Party, Lemon Lolly and Blackberry Bliss ink. I balloon on the right was stamped in Lemon Lolly but I obviously hadn’t cleaned the stamp properly as it looks more apricot in colour!

The stamped panel was glued to the Blackberry Bliss panel leaving the dark colour showing only on the left side and the top. The whole piece was glued to the Parakeet Party card base using the same liquid glue.

The Masterfully Made designer series paper by Stampin' Up! used to demonstrate the Kintsugi technique for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Masterfully Made Kintsugi card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using the Kintsugi Technique. This is a Japanese technique usually defined as ‘golden joinery’ and is often used to mend pottery and ceramics. The theory is that by making the join between the broken pieces – often gold, silver, copper or platinum – obvious it enhances the beauty of the piece.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the kintsugi card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Masterfully Made dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 2” by 2”
Berry Burst card – 2½” by ⅝”

 

After choosing my piece of Masterfully Made designer series paper (dsp), I tore it into 5 pieces. You can do as many tears as you like and I thought 5 was a good number. I was careful to tear slowly and carefully to minimise white fluffy edges which don’t work so well for this technique.

Each torn piece would be embossed and fitted back together against an un embossed edge. So firstly, I needed to work out which side of each tear I would emboss.

When I had decided, I gently rubbed a Versamark pad over the torn edge. The edge was then dipped into Copper Embossing Powder and then heat set with my Heat Tool. I repeated this step until all the edges were embossed.

The pieces were then placed onto one of the large Basic White panels and adhered in place using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I made sure to keep the embossed edges on top. The panel was then mounted onto the Berry Burst card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Berry Burst ink onto the square of Basic White card. This was then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The ends of the strip of Berry Burst card were flagged and the piece added to the back of the stitched circle. This was then glued to the card front.

A trio of copper Brushed Metallic Dots completed the card. I loved trying out this new technique and I love the effect it achieves.

Please hop on to see what my crafty friends have made using this technique.
