A sweet anniversary card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the ink refill and shaving foam technique and the Hot Air Balloons Dies by Stampin' Up!

Hot Air Balloons card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using ink refills. I had such fun with this and ended up using ink refills with having foam to make my hot air balloon anniversary card.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the hot air balloon card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – which I cut down to 5 ¼” by 3 ½” after colouring
Basic White card – 2” by ¼”

Scrap Starry Sky, Azure Afternoon & Lemon Lime Twist card

 Ink Refill and shaving cream technique:

Paper Plate
Shaving foam
Ink Refills
Palette Knives
Kitchen towel

 

I covered the centre of a paper plate with shaving foam – it has to be foam not gel – spreading it out into a fairly even coating. I dropped dots of re inker randomly over the shaving cream – Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist and Starry Sky. Using a palette knife I swirled the colours together.

The 5½” by 3¾” panel of Basic White was then placed on top and gentle pressure applied. I carefully lifted the panel off the foam and scraped the excess off with the palette knife. The panel was left to dry.

I made multiple panels and used some of the left overs with stencils to see if that would work as well. – Very messy but such fun.

The same image was then mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate and stamped in the same ink onto the Silicon craft sheet. I repeated this step to make sure I had a good strong image.

I lifted the silicon sheet up, turned it face down and placed it onto the Basic White panel next to the previously stamped turtle. I rubbed it lightly and left it in position for a minute or two to allow the ink to transfer.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight Blends to colour in the flower. The ground was coloured with Crumb Cake Blends Pens and the small grassy image was stamped in 1st & 2nd generation Granny Apple Green ink. A Blending Brush was used to add some Balmy Blue ink to the ‘sky’.

The sentiment, from the Love For You stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Pecan Pie card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it before adding it to the card front.

Such a cute card. Please hop on to share the other inspiring projects provided by my stamping friends.

A bridge fold card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop using the Earthen Textures dies and the Painted Textures Embossing Folder by Stampin' Up!

Earthen Textures Bridge Fold card

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. I have chosen to make a bridge fold card using the lovely Earthen Textures stamp set and Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the earthen textures bridge fold card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5¾”
Azure Afternoon card – 5⅝” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 1⅜” x 2
Pecan Pie card – 6¼” by 1”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅛”
Scrap Basic White, Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie & Distressed Gold

 

Using the Painted Textures Embossing Folder, I embossed the 5⅝” by 3⅛” piece of Azure Afternoon card and both 5⅜” by 1⅜” panels of Basic White card. These were glued to the Azure Afternoon card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The panel of Pecan Pie card was embossed using the same folder. It was then added to the left panel of the card front with liquid adhesive. The left panel was then close over the central panel and the loose end of the Pecan Pie strip was adhered to the right hand panel forming the bridge.

I stamped the tall pot in Azure Afternoon ink onto scrap Basic White card and onto the same card stamped the smaller patterned pot. These were both die cut using the Earthen Textures Dies.

The smaller pot was die cut from scrap Lemon Lime Twist card. I stamped one of the branches from the Earthen Textures stamp set onto the die cut pot and used a Sponge Dauber to add some Lemon Lime Twist ink to the edges of the pot.

Extra leaves were die cut from scrap Lemon Lime Twist and Pecan Pie card.

Using liquid glue, I added the leaves to the back of the pots. The pots were then adhered to the bridge and side panels of the card.

The sentiment for the Love For You stamp set was stamped in Azure Afternoon ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed it out and added it to the card front.
