Pelican on a Post for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on. I am sharing a pelican on a post card made using the gorgeous Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pelican on a post card, you will need:

Pacific Point card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic Gray card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using Pacific Point ink and a Blending Brush I added ink to the smaller Basic White panel. The inked panel was glued to the Basic Gray layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to adhere it to the Pacific Point card base.

Using a blending Brush, I added Soft Suede and Early Espresso ink to a scrap of Basic White card. I used the Horizon Dies to cut out a strip of ‘ground’. I ran the strip through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I added it over the base of the posts on Dimensionals.

Pattern Party dsp and Oceanfront stamp set used to make a pretty pinched top bag for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

Pinch Topped Bag for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and Welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing packaging ideas. I have a pretty pinch top bag which I have made to hold a Lotus biscuit, my treat for the ladies coming to class this week.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pinch top bag, you will need:

Basic White card – 2½” by 1½”
Pattern Party dsp – 4⅝” by 4”
Basic White – 3½” by 1¼”

 

Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the 2½” by 1½” piece of Basic White at ½” on all four sides.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty pinch topped bag made using the Pattern Party dsp and Oceanfront stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I cut down to form the four tabs and wedged out a little to help the tabs fold in efficiently to give a better finish.

Fold on all the score lines, add strong glue to each tab and fold in to form a 3d base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty pinch topped bag made using the Pattern Party dsp and Oceanfront stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Stick Tear ‘n Tape all the way around the outside of the box and as near the bottom as possible. It is really important to use a strong adhesive for this. Also place a strip of Tear ‘n tape along the 4” edge of the dsp on the reverse side

Peel off the adhesive backing: place the edge of the 4⅝” piece of dsp (the edge without the Tear ‘n Tape) against the bottom of the box with the chosen pattern to the outside. I always start in the middle of one of the long sides as you get a better finish to your bag.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty pinch topped bag made using the Pattern Party dsp and Oceanfront stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using your fingers work the dsp around the sides of the box pressing it onto the Tear ‘n Tape. Resist the temptation to crease the dsp, you get a better finish. You should have about ½” of an overlap with the adhesive on the inside.

Peel off the backing and adhere the two sides off the dsp together allowing it to bow out a little.

I die cut a tag from the remaining piece of Basic White using the Tailor-Made Tag Dies.

The ground was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and the sky in Balmy Blue ink. I added the grasses with Early Espresso ink and stamped the sentiment, from the Hydrangea stamp set in Sahara Sand ink.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

 

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

I wrapped a piece of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel before adding the panel to the Pool Party card front using the same liquid glue.

Using the Sweet Heart dies, I die cut the adorable little envelope from a scrap of the dsp and adhered the sides and bottom together with a Mini Glue Dot. I also die cut a circle, using the Layering Circle dies from the square of Basic White and added the envelope with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed down with Scissors to fit in the envelope. I used the Detailed Trio Corner Punch to round the top edges of the sentiment.

A heart from the Sweet Conversations stamp set was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink and fussy cut out using Scissors. It was tucked under the small envelope and held in place with a dab of glue. The circle was then added to the card front, over the ribbon, on Dimensionals.

The Flowering Rain Boots stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a card for the Crafty Challenge Sketch Blog Hop

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink.  I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I hope you like the card.
