Lazy Days Home Decor

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using some of the gorgeous new colours from our 2023 colour refresh. I am sharing a piece of home décor made for a friend using the Lazy Days stamp set and dies.

 

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the lazy days home décor piece, you will need:

23cm by 23cm picture frame – mine was a Ribba frame from Ikea
Boho Blue card – 8” by 8”
Pebbled Path – 2⅛” by 2⅛” x 7
Basic White – 2” by 2” x 7
Pebbled Path – 4⅜” by 2⅛”
Basic White – 4 ¼” by 2”
Scrap Basic White, Boho Blue, Pebbled Path, Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly

 

Using Pebbled Path ink, I stamped the wooden boards along the bottom of three of the 2” by 2” squares of Basic White card. On another of the squares I stamped the trellis in Pebbled Path ink along the top.

All seven of the Basic White squares + the 4 ¼” by 2” panel of Basic White were run through the Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the rug in Boho Blue ink. A rocking chair, plant pot, two bird houses, a table and three birds using Pebbled Path ink. These images were then die cut using the Lazy Days dies.

Using the same dies, I cut out a rocking chair and a balustrade from scrap Pebbled Path card. A variety of leafy sprigs were cut from scrap Lost Lagoon card and a cushion from Lemon Lolly card. Finally, I the cut the trellis piece and another balustrade from scrap Basic White card.

I used the Alphabet A La Mode dies to die cut the ENJOY letter from scrap Boho Blue.

Boho Blue Blends were used to colour in the bird houses and 2 of the birds. The lemonade in the glasses and the remaining bird were coloured using Lemon Lolly Bends. The leaves in the plant pot were coloured with Lost Lagoon and I used a Pebbled Path Blend to add some shading to the plant pot and rocking chair.

I cut the two balustrade die cuts in half giving me 4 pieces. I then began to decorate each square with all the die cut pieces, some were glued on using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, others were added using Dimensionals. The word ENJOY was glued to the rectangle below the white trellis piece.

I added some Loose Daisy Embellishments to a couple of the panels. The panels were then adhered to the 8” by 8” panel of Boho Blue card. I trimmed down the mount using my Paper Trimmer and inserted the panel into the box frame and closed up the back/

I really love it.

A snowy mountain scene stamped using the Mountain Air stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Snowy Mountain for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK and I am thrilled to be joining the super talented team on this blog hop. Our theme today is ‘Showcasing a project we have been working on’. I have chosen to share a piece of home décor with you; a picture of a snowy mountain scene. I hope you like it.

To recreate the Snowy Mountain picture you will need:

Whisper White card – 8” by 6”
Misty Moonlight card – 8* by 6”
Picture frame for a 7” by 5” photograph

If you have been following my blog you will know that the Mountain Air stamp set is a real favourite of mine and today I have combined it with the In The Pines Stamp set and the sweet cabin from the Snow Front stamp set to create this wintery scene.

I began with the piece of Whisper White card which I lined up on my Grid Paper. With a T Square Ruler and a pencil I marked out ½” on all 4 sides to form a border. This border will be covered by the mount.

I inked up the detailed mountain image from the Mountain Air stamp set with Seaside Spray ink and stamped the image across the panel. I reversed the stamp, inked up the back with the same colour, stamped off on my Grid Paper and stamped the 2nd generation, offset, over the mountains.

The row of trees were stamped below the mountains in Shaded Spruce ink. I punched a 1” circle from a Post It note and applied it over the mountains. Using a  blending brush – you could also use a sponge or a sponge dauber instead – and circular movements I appled Balmy Blue ink across the top of the panel to  give the effect of a sky. The circle mask was then removed.

I roughly tore a piece to copy paper to give a wavy edge. Using the blending brush and Pool Party ink I moved around the torn copy paper to give the effect of snow banks.

Placing the copy paper back in position I stamped the sweet cabin from the Snow Front stamp set in Basic Gray ink. I added the ‘path’ image in 2nd generation Basic Gray ink.

I added the row of trees from the In the Pines stamp set in the same way using Early Espresso ink. I added the in-fill stamp in Shaded Spruce ink. The large tree on the left was stamped in Early Espresso and Shaded Spruce.

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut out the middle of the Misty Moonlight panel leaving a 3/4£” border all the way around. This will be the mount for the picture.

I used a simple white photo frame to show off this simple picture.
