Delicate Forest Stepped Up – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing cards focussing on love and support. I have stepped up the card I shared on the 9th November made using the Delicate Forest stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the delicate forest card, you will need:

Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Peach Pie card – 5¼” by 3½”
Early Espresso card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Lemon Lolly – 2⅜” by ½”
Early Espresso – 2¼” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I pressed an H block to my Peach Pie ink pad about half-way up the block. The rest of the block was then pressed to my Lemon Lolly ink pad. I lightly misted the inked-up block using a Stampin’ Spritzer. The block was the placed onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. I left it in place for about ½ minute to allow the ink to soak in. I set it aside to dry.

When the panel was dry, I stamped the falling leaves stamp from the Delicate Forest stamp set down the length of the panel in Early Espresso ink.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Early Espresso layer, then to the Peach Pie layer. I wrapped a length of Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine around the panels before mounting them onto the Lemon Lolly card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Early Espresso card, covered with White Embossing Powder and set using my Heat Tool. The Early Espresso strip was then adhered to the Lemon Lolly strip before adding it to the card front, straddling the Baker’s Twine with Dimensionals.

A trio of 2024 – 2026 In Color Shimmer Gems finished the card and a Baker’s Twine bow finished the card.

Sitting Pretty thinking of you card

Sitting Pretty for a simple thinking of you card

Today I have been making a simple thinking of you card using the Sitting Pretty stamp set and my Stamparatus.

Ink to Block Technique

I began by taking a large acrylic block, size E. I added Granny Apple Green ink  by pressing the ink pad directly to the top of the block. I added Balmy Blue ink to the bottom of the block then spritzed the block using a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with water: I find 3 – 4 sprays works best. You need the ink to be moving and blending on the block. Turn the block over and place it down on the Thick Whisper White card front and leave for a couple of minutes for the ink to be absorbed onto the card. Lift the block off and dab up any excess water. Set aside to dry.

When the card base was dry I placed it into the Stamparatus and held it in position with a magnet. I inked up the gorgeous decorative bench from the Sitting Pretty stamp set with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it down. I repeated this twice more to get a really dark image.

I added the sentiment form the Sitting Here stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and added some Faceted Dots to finish the card.

Such a simple but effective card and I love the fact that every time you try this background technique you get a different look. Love it! I really hope you like it.
