Yellow Peony card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on June 8, 2024June 8, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a Tic, Tac, Toe board. I have chosen the diagonal line, texture, fun and yellow to make my card along with the Poised Peony stamp set.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the yellow peony card, you will need

Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅝”
Lemon Lolly card – 5 ½” by 1⅛” x 3
Old Olive card – 4⅛” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 4” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

Using the gorgeous new Dotted Circles Embossing Folder, I embossed the three strips of Lemon Lolly card and glued them to the 5⅝” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card. This was then adhered to the Daffodil Delight card base.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the beautiful peony image onto the 4” by 2½” panel of Basic White card.

The flower was coloured using my Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly Blends Pens and the leaves with Old Olive Blends Pens. I adhered the coloured panel to the Old Olive layer.

I wrapped a length of Lemon Lolly Twine around the piece and secured it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then mounted, offset, onto the card front on Dimensionals. By offsetting it, it gives a more playful, fun effect to the card.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Basic White card. It was die cut using the Unbounded Love Dies. I added it to the card front.

Autumn Leaves card for a Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a Tic Tac Toe board. I have chosen the diagonal line featuring ribbon, leaves and yellow and chose to make an Autumn Leaves card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Autumn leaves card, you will need:

Crushed Curry card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Very Vanilla card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 2¼” by 2”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla card

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the veins from the double leaves all along the Natural Ribbon and set it aside to dry. You do need a well inked pad to get a good image.

The 5¼” by 3½” piece of Very Vanilla card was glued to the Early Espresso layer. I wrapped the ribbon around the panel and secured it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then mounted onto the Crushed Curry card base.

On scrap Very Vanilla card I stamped the large maple leaf in Crushed Curry ink. I added the veins using Early Espresso ink.

The oak leaf was stamped in Wild Wheat ink and the double leaves were stamped in Daffodil Delight ink and the veins added using Early Espresso ink. All the leaves were die cut using the Autumn Leaves dies

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the small piece of Very Vanilla card which was then die cut using the same set of dies.

I laid the die cut leaves onto the card front, moving them around until I was happy with the position. I then glued then down using either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Mini Glue Dots. The sentiment was added overtop on Dimensionals.

A trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Dots completed the card.
