A lovely Joy of Painting card made for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop using the Crafting with You stamp set and Meandering Meadows dsp from Stampin' Up

Joy of Painting card – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on by

The other day I caught a programme on TV that I have not seen for years, a real flash back. It was really popular in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s and seems to be having a bit of a resurgence.  The programme was called Joy of Painting and was hosted by painter Bob Ross who mostly taught techniques for painting landscapes. This programme has inspired my Joy of Painting card for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the Joy of Painting card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3¼”
Blueberry Bushel card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 3⅞” by 2⅞”
Meandering Meadow dsp – 2⅛” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Blueberry Bushel card

 

I began by stamping the group of paintbrushes from the Crafting with You stamp set, randomly all over the Highland Heather card front using Highland Heather ink.

The easel, from the same stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 3⅞” by 2⅞” piece of Basic White card. I ‘grounded’ the image using a Light Smoky Slate Blends Pen.

From the Meandering Meadow dsp I cut a landscape scene and glued it to the Easel. The stamped panel was then adhered to the Blueberry Bushel panel and then to the 4¼” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Blueberry Bushel ink. I punched the sentiment out using a 1¼” Circle Punch. I added the sentiment to a 1⅜” Scalloped Circle in Blueberry Bushel. I then added it to the card front.

A quirky anniversary card made using the Counting Sheep stamp set, a Sale-a-Bration item from Stampin' Up!

Counting Sheep card for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on and I have chosen to share a cute Counting Sheep card made for my daughter and son in laws 1st wedding anniversary yesterday. This gorgeous stamp set is one of the offerings in the up-coming Sale-a-Bration brochure which goes live on the 3rd January along with the July – December Mini Catalogue.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the counting sheep card, you will need:

Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pacific Point card – 5⅛” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Real Red card – 5⅞” by ⅓” x 2
Basic White card – 2 ½” by ⅜”
Scrap Basic White

I glued the 2 strips of Real Red card stock to the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the sweet little sheep in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. T he stamped panel was then removed and replace with the Silicon Mat. I inked the image again with the same ink and stamped it again on to the mat, carefully added the stamped panel – face down onto the inked Silicon Mat and rubbed firmly with my fingers to encourage to ink to transfer. On lifting up the panel the reverse image was seen. Such a great idea.

Using a Blending Brush I inked the ground with Pear Pizzazz ink. I added the tufts of grass in Pear Pizzazz to ground the happy sheep.

I stamped the sheep image again, twice, onto Post It Notes – one on the front and the 2nd on the reverse of the Post It Note. These were cut out using scissors. They were then placed over the 2 stamped images and the sky was added with a Blending Brush, Balmy Blue ink and a torn piece of copy paper.

I punched a circle using the 1” Circle Punch, placed it over the tree trunks to provide a ‘moon’. Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink, lightly from the horizon line to the top of the card. I kept the colour light as I wanted a wintery sky effect. The masked circle was then removed.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2nd and 3rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

A lovely floral gilded art card made using Stampin' Up! product from the new Jan-June 2021 catalogue

Gilded Art for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘New Goodies’. I have chosen to make a gilded art card for you. With the January – June 2021 and Sale-A-Bration catalogues coming out on the 5th January and lots of goodies from my pre-order to play with, I have been spoilt for choice. If you have hopped on from Karen Egan I am sure you loved her project

To recreate the gilded art card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I really, really wanted to play with the gilding flakes but didn’t have any Heat & Stick Powder – so I improvised by sticking strips of Tear & Tape along all 4 sides of one of the Whisper White panels. I removed the backing and covered the tape with the flakes, rubbed them onto the tape with my fingers to remove the excess flakes and bring out the shine. I absolutely love the effect.

The stem and leaves from the Art Gallery stamp set were stamped in Just Jade ink onto the edged panel before it was added to the Gorgeous Grape layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The solid part of the flower was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scrap Whisper White card and the more detailed layer was added using the same ink. The centre of the flower was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink. Using the Floral Gallery Dies I cut out the flower and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and cut out using one of the sweet labels from the same set of dies. It was added to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot and a bow made from the sheer ribbon.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  My name is Mo Rootes from Cambridge in the UK and I am thrilled to be taking part in my first blog hop with fellow demonstrators, from around the world, who are part of Kylie Bertucci’s demonstrator training program. The theme for the hop is ‘Thank You’ and I am sure you will find lots of inspiration as you hop along with us

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the hop list at the bottom of this post so please hop along with us today.

To recreate my Customer Thank You card you, will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner

Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner

This month my customer thank you cards feature a couple of sneak peaks showing new product which will be available from the 5th January 2021 in the January – June 2021 mini catalogue and the January – February 2021 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. My ladies love a sneak peek.

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it..  The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink, cut it out with one of the sweet labels from the same die set and added it to the card with liquid adhesive. The pearls were coloured with a Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker and added to the card front to complete the card.

 

I hope you and my customers like the cards.
