I began by cutting, scoring and burnishing the 2 pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock which make the card. I cut 2 panels of Twinkle, Twinkle Designer Series Paper (dsp) and adhered them to the larger of the Thick Whisper White panels with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the cottage image onto the smallest piece of Whisper White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and set it aside to dry. I coloured in the image using Watercolor Pencils in the following colours – Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze, using a Blender pen to smooth out the colour.

The stamped panel was then added to the layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and then adhered to the smaller piece of Thick Whisper White, remembering that this part of the card opens from left to right. The whole piece was then added to the larger Thick Whisper White panel. All the glue was done using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the 1” Circle Punch. Using the Layering Circle framelits and the Big Shot I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the middle of the Blueberry Bushel panel – nobody will know once all the layers are put together. I stuck the stamped circle onto the Blueberry Bushel scalloped Circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The circle was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A watercolor male birthday card made using the Sale-a-Bration stamp set By the Bay

By the Bay for a Masculine Birthday card

Today I am sharing the card I made for my husband’s birthday. I used the Sale-a-Bration stamp set called By the Bay which has some lovely pencil style sketches on a seaside theme.

Making the By the Bay card

I started with a card base of Balmy Blue cardstock 8” by 7 ½” and scored it at 4” on the long side to make a long thin card.

I cut a piece of Watercolor Paper 5¼” by 2” and inserted it into my Stamparatus. I placed the image of the group of seabirds onto the Water color Paper, closed the panel of the Stamparatus to pick up the stamp. I then inked the stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it down. Using the Stamparatus gives me the chance to re-stamp the image if it isn’t dark enough. I moved the stamp along the panel to give a row of birds and set it aside to dry.

Using an Aqua painter I applied ink to color the image. I used Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel inks for the water, Gray Granite for the birds and Mossy Meadow for the background.

I mounted the stamped panel onto a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock measuring 5½” by 2¼” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a panel of Whisper White cardstock 6” by 2¾” using the same glue.

I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock 7” by 3 ½” to the inside having stamped the same group of birds on the panel. I also stamped the same image on an envelope.

A very clean and simple card, hope you like it.

A sweet thank you card for the CTD 530 challenge

Hello Cupcake for the CTD530 colour challenge

Today I am sharing a sweet card made using the Hello Cupcake stamp set for the CTD530 colour challenge. This stamp set is so versatile and so easy to use. I love it.

Making the card

I started by stamping the cupcake case in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I also stamped the frosting in Berry Burst ink on the same piece of scrap Whisper White. Using my scissors I cut them out – the good news is that on the 1st March a new set of dies will be available to cut out these images…….hooray……I am not a big fan of fussy cutting. I added the frosting to the cupcake case with a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it to one side.

The sentiment from the By the Bay stamp set was added to the stamped panel in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel before adding it to a layer of Basic Black cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”.
