A Tuscan Cypress Tree themed thank you card made for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop using the Thanks A Bunch stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Tuscan Cypress Trees for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are expressing our gratitude with thank you cards. Mine is inspired by a card made by my upline, the lovely Mikaela Titheridge using the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Tuscan Cypress card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 5¾” by 4” – rounded upper left corner
Shaded Spruce card – 4⅞” by 2½” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4 ¾” by 2⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White strip – ⅜” wide
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

 

I stamped the large solid carrot, upside down, in Shaded Spruce ink onto the small panel of Basic White and added the shadow image using Evening Evergreen ink. These ‘trees’ remind me so much of the Cypress Trees common in Tuscany. The smaller trees were stamped in 1st and 2nd generation Old Olive ink.

The short grass was added with 1st and 2nd generation Old Olive ink using the shadow from the large carrot stamped from side to side. I added the larger tufts of grass from the Oceanfront stamp set in the same Old Olive ink.

I stamped some dotage in the upper left and lower right of the Balmy Blue panel but didn’t really like it. I then ran the panel through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I liked this better. I wrapped a piece of Variegated Ribbon around the panel before gluing it to the Balmy Blue card front and adding the stamped panel over top on Dimensionals.

The Friendly Gnome stamp set and the Tree Rings Dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty gnome themed card

Friendly Gnome card

Posted on by

I have been playing with the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set, combining it with the Tree Rings Hybrid Dies and Embossing Folder to make a sweet card.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the friendly gnome card, you will need:

Thick Very Vanilla card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Soft Suede card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Dandy Designs dsp – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Very Vanilla, Old Olive & Soft Suede

 

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the Dandy Designs dsp to the Soft Suede panel and then to the Thick Very Vanilla card base.

I clipped the Tree Rings Die into the Tree Rings Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with a 5⅞” by 4⅛” panel of Soft Suede card. Love that this die cuts and embosses at the same time.

Using the same embossing folder I embossed some scrap Very Vanilla card then die cut the inner piece for the tree ring I wanted. I used a Blending Brush to add some Crumb Cake ink to the Very Vanilla piece and glued it to the tree ring being careful to line up the notches. This was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Spring Flowers

Here is a pretty Spring Flowers card made using the pretty Hand Penned Petals stamp set and Penned Flowers Dies. I made a similar card back in the early Autumn and wanted to recreate it with some changes.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the hand penned card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Smoky Slate card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I placed one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks onto the smaller panel of Basic White card, holding it in place with a Post It Note. Using a Blending Brush, I added Pale Papaya ink over the mask. The mask was the removed and the pattern revealed.

I stamped the sentiment from the Hand Penned Petals stamp set, in the lower left corner of the inked panel in Highland Heather ink.

Using Smoky Slate ink, I stamped the larger group of flowers onto scrap Basic White card in. A length of the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then mounted onto the Highland Heather card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the flowers and leaves – Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, So Saffron and Mint Macaron. The completed piece was mounted over the ribbon to the card front on Dimensionals.

Medallion Emboss Resist for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using the emboss resist technique. I have chosen to use  the Pretty Medallion stamp set to make my card.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the medallion card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅝” by 3¾”
Daffodil Delight card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic Black card – 3” by ¼”

I mounted the large Pretty Medallion stamp onto the plate of the Stamparatus, inked it up with Versamark ink. I stamped it down onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool.
