I chose the Bloom by Bloom stamp set to make my birthday card. I love the1960’s -70’s vibe of this stamp set but have been desperate to try it with more fresh ‘Spring’ colours and as I had some ¼” strips of Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo cardstock left from another project and decided to use these as my jumping off point.

I stamped the stem and leaf in Granny Apple Green onto a Whisper White Stitched Rectangle. The flower was added in Flirty Flamingo ink and the dots were stamped in So saffron ink. The stamped rectangle was added to the layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I adhered a ¼” strip of Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo cardstock to the Whisper White layer and trimmed them to fit using my scissors. This panel was then added to the layer of Flirty Flamingo cardstock before adding the whole piece to the front of a So saffron card base.

I laid the stamped piece onto the card front and felt it needed a little something extra. After a bit of thought I stamped a scatter of tiny flowers from the stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink.

The rectangle panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls added a little hint of luxury.

The tiny flowers were stamped on the envelope and the inside Whisper White panel and glued inside the card.

I love the fresh colour combo. I hope you like it.

A lovely girlie birthday card made using the Piece of Cke stamp set by STampin' Up!

Piece of Cake for GDP #179 challenge

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a cute card made for a friends’ birthday using the Piece of Cake stamp set and lovely girlie colours. Luckily this card works really well with this weeks’ GDP #179 challenge the theme of which is ‘sweeter than candy’.

Making the Card

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅞” by 2” and stamped 3 of the cute cake images randomly up the panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the images using my Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Grapefruit Grove Markers.

I laid the stamped panel onto the front of a Flirty Flamingo card base and marked lightly with a pencil down the right side. I lifted the panel away, inked up the lollipop image and stamped it down the card using the pencil line as a guide. The pencil line was then erased when the ink had dried.

I added the stamped panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The sentiment was then trimmed out using scissors and added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a trio of Iridescent Sequins to the card front.

I added a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” to the inside of the card having stamped one of the cakes in the lower right corner. I stamped the same image onto the front of an envelope.

Rows of wine glasses for a feminine birthday card

Half Full for a feminine birthday card

Posted on by

Today I have been playing with the Half Full stamp set. This lovely set carried over from the Autumn/Winter catalogue and although it does have a couple of Christmas sentiments it is so versatile and makes great masculine cards. Having said that today’s card is for a female friend of mine who is partial to the odd glass of white wine.

Stamping Instructions

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4¼” by 2⅞”. I placed the panel in the corner of my Stamparatus Stamp Positioning Tool and positioned stamp showing the ‘row of wine glasses’ onto the Whisper White panel at the top before closing the door plate to pick up the stamp.

Using Momento Tuxedo Black ink I inked up the stamp and closed the door plate to stamp the image. I moved the door plate down 1 hinge, inked the stamp up again and repeated. In total I stamped the image 4 times down the panel. I love the precision stamping you get using the hinge method and the Stamparatus.

I removed the stamped panel of Whisper White from the Stamparatus and coloured in 1 glass in each row using the So Saffron Marker Pen. The panel was then added to a piece of Basic Black cardstock 4½” by 3⅛” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the In The City stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black in onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2” by 2” and punched it out using a 1¼” Circle Punch. I added it to a So Saffron circle punched with a 1½” Circle Punch using Tombow Liquid adhesive.

I added a loop of Black Shimmer Ribbon to the back of the sentiment using Fast Fuse Adhesive. The stamped panel was then added to a So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the sentiment added in the lower right hand corner

Birthday card using Stampin' Up! product

Bottles & Bubbles His & Hers cards for a team challenge

Posted on by

Every month our team are set a challenge by our lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – thecraftyoinkpen.co.uk – This month’s challenge was to create a card for a girl and a card for a guy using the same layout. We are allowed to use a different stamp set or dies for each card but the layout has to be recognisably the same.

I chose to use the gorgeous Bottles and Bubbles Framelit Dies for both cards and started by die cutting a number of the large and small bottles from Whisper White cardstock using the Bottles and Bubbles Framelit dies. I also cut out a large bottle in Pacific Point cardstock and Rose Red cardstock.

Taking 2 pieces of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I placed the Pacific Point bottle on one layer and the Rose Red bottle on the other then randomly laid out the die cut white bottles to fill the remaining space. Although the layout was the same I had already decided to have one card portrait style and the other landscape.

Originally I planned to pop up the coloured bottles on Stampin’ Dimensionals but I didn’t like how that looked; instead all the bottles were adhered to the Whisper White panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I used scissors to trim off the over-hanging die cut bottles.

The male, Pacific Point version was added to a Thick Whisper White card base and the Rose Red version to a Rose Red card base in the same way. I stamped the sentiment from the Bird Banter stamp set onto 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by ⅜”, one using Pacific Point Ink, the other in Rose Red ink. I banner ended both pieces using Scissors but ended cutting the Pacific Point version down to about 1½”.

I love the simplicity of these cards, hope you like them.
