Lifetime of Love card for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Something New’. So much to choose from……. Eventually I decided to make a pretty card using the gorgeous Lifetime of Love Dies and one of my favourite techniques, paper piecing.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the lifetime of love card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Fight & Airy dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5” by 3⅜””
Silver Foil Speciality Paper – 5” by 3½”
Scrap Fresh Freesia & Soft Sea Foam
Adhesive sheet

 

From the panel of Silver Foil Speciality Paper – with a piece of Adhsive Sheet stuck to the back and die cut the arched floral image using the Lifetime of Love Dies, I choose the darkest piece of foil with the slightly purple tone. I popped out the pieces and adhered the outline piece to the panel of Basic White card.

I stamped the ladies’ legs and skirt in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller Basic White panel and added the pile of presents on top in the same ink. I added the ‘ground’ in the same black ink.

The skirt was then stamped onto a scrap of Hand-penned dsp and fussy cut out. I added it with the liquid glue onto the stamped image, love a bit of paper piecing..

Using the Take Your Pick Tool and the Die Brush attachment, I poked out all the pieces from the Be Dazzling die cut. I left the centre of each flower and some of the smaller leaves in situ.

Squeezing Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon mat, I used a piece of Sponge to apply the glue to the outline Be Dazzling die cut piece. It was then added to the layer of Basic Black card.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty batik pattern card using Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

Batik Pattern

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a quirky batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies. I love the symmetry of the stamps in this set, so pretty.

The colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the pattern batik card, you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Polished Pink card – 5⅛” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”
Merry Merlot – 3” by 2
Polished Pink – 3” by 2
Basic White – ¼” strip

I began by stamping the outline of the larger shape in Merry Merlot ink randomly all over the 5” by 3⅛” panel of Basic White. The infill image was added in Polished Pink ink and the base part was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. Don’t these colours look lovely together? I used the trio of dotted circles, stamped in Merry Merlot ink to fill in some of the white space.

The stamped panel was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Polished Pink panel. I wrapped a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

Using the Batik Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut the solid shape from the small Basic White panel. I then die cut the detailed shape from the Merry Merlot and Polished Pink pieces.

The outline die cut was then glued to the Basic White die cut and the Polished Pink pieces glued into the negative space gaps using the paper-piecing technique. Such a pretty effect. The die cut piece was then added with Dimensionals over top of the ribbon.

The sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set was stamped onto the Basic White strip in Merry Merlot ink. I flagged the ends with scissors and added it to the card front with liquid glue.

To complete the card, I added a bow using a Mini Glue Dot and made from the same Pale Papaya Ribbon.

I really like the colour combo I have used for this card. I hope you like it.
