Graceful card stamp set by Stampin' Up! for a lovely rose themed girlie card

Graceful Garden used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

Posted on by

Welcome to the April Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop which this month is focusing on girlie cards. If you have joined me from the lovely Laura I am sure you loved the project she shared with us. For my card today I have chosen to use the Graceful Garden stamp set, after all what girl doesn’t love a rose.

Making the Graceful Garden card

You will need;
Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” – scored at 4⅛” and with an 1” cut off the left hand front panel.
Granny Apple Green – 5½” by 2⅞” – round the upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2¾” – round the upper left corner
Wood Textures dsp – 5⅞” by ¾”

I began by stamping the large rose image onto the Whisper White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I rounded the upper right corner of the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch and set it to one side to allow the ink to dry.

When the image had dried I coloured it in using the following Blends Pens – Granny Apple Green combo and Poppy Parade combo. This is such a lovely image to colour.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. This panel was then added to the Granny Apple Green panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I punched the upper right corner of the narrower card front panel and adhered the stamped panel to it using Dimensionals.

I glued a strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (dsp) to the back panel of the card front with the same Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to the card front and stamped the rose in Granny Apple Green ink onto the Envelope.

A lovely rainbow card using a flower from the Amazing Life stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Amazing Life for the GDP #176 – CASE the designer

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I designed for the Global Design Project #176 – CASE the Designer Challenge. I loved the rainbow colours in Steffi’s beautiful card and made that my starting point.

Making the card

I began by choosing the image I wanted to use. It had to be fairly small and ideally a fairly open image. In the end I went for the sweet little flower stamp in the Amazing Life stamp set.

Next I looked at colours; I knew I wanted a rainbow to mimic Steffi’s card and tried out a few variations of colour before settling for – Berry Burst, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and Gorgeous Grape – in hind sight I should have gone for Lovelly Lipstick as my first colour but completely forgot about it……..it’s been that kind of day.

After stamping the flower in each of the colours onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½” I rounded the upper left corner with my Detailed Trio Punch. I added a layer of Basic Gray layer 5⅜” by 3⅝” behind the Whisper White panel having rounded the same corner and using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the whole stamped panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock ⅜” wide. This was then trimmed down and one end flagged using my scissors. I added the sentiment to a scrap of Granny Apple Green ½” wide and trimmed to fit. This was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the flower again in Grapefruit Grove onto a panel of Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” which was them glued inside the card. The same image was then stamped in the same colour onto a Whisper White envelope. To complete the card I added a few of the gorgeous Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.

Healing Hugs stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a get well card

Healing Hugs for a get well card

Posted on by

Our latest team challenge asks us to make a get well card ready for this season of coughs and colds and I chose to make this sweet card using the stunning Healing Hugs stamp set. I have had this set for a while and never inked it up and it is stunning.

Making the card

I stamped the large flower image in Merry Merlot ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using my sharp scissors. The flower is gorgeous, the petals almost look like velvet; the dimension these distINKtive stamps give is amazing. Using a sponge dauber I inked around the edges of the flower with the Merry Merlot ink.

I cut a panel of Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (dsp) 5” by 3⅛”. I cut a scalloped border from a ½” strip of Merry Merlot cardstock and the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch. I added the border to the dsp panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I hope you like it.

Soft thank you card using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and Beautiful Layers dies by Stampin' Up

Beautiful Promenade

Posted on by

Earlier this week we had my husband’s cousin and her partner visiting from Canada and they were fascinated with my Big Shot……… who isn’t!!! I cut a few pieces out using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and Beautiful Layers framelit dies to demonstrate how it worked and decided to use them to make a card today. So this card is for you Helen and T.J.

Making the Beautiful Promenade card

I began by placing the Whisper White die cut doily onto a 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Lifting the doily to one side I stamped the striped flower image twice using 2nd generation Coastal Cabana ink so that the stamped flowers would be partially covered by the doily. 2nd generation means inking up your stamp then stamping it onto scrap paper – I use Grid Paper – then stamping again without re-inking onto your project which gives you a lighter shade of the original colour.

At this point I decided that the background was too stark so ran the Soft Sea Foam panel through my Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder.

I took the flower I had stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock then die cut using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Layers dies. I stamped the striped flower overtop of the die cut image. I then stamped 3 lots of leaves in Gray Granite ink and die cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite ink into the centre of the doily and started putting the card together.

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the embossed Soft Sea Foam layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5½“ by 3¾” and added this to the Bermuda Bay card base. I added a strip of Gray Granite cardstock 4⅛” by ⅜” to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the doily on top using tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive  and the leaves tucked in behind. To finish the card off I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots.

Such a soft, pretty card. I hope you like it.

Floral Thank You card using the Touches of Texture stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Touches of Texture for a thank you card

Posted on by

Today I have been using the Touches of Texture stamp set to make a simple thank you card.

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4⅛” by 3⅛”, I corner rounded the upper right corner of the panel using the Detailed Trio Punch which will be available in my online store from the 1st June 2018. I then stamped the delicate floral spray in Crumb Cake ink.

I coloured in the image using the following Stampin’ Blends; Light Cherry Cobbler, Light & Dark Calypso Coral and Light Old Olive. I love the depth of colour the Blends give to a project. I backed the stamped panel onto a 4¼” by 3¼” layer of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive, having rounded the upper right hand corner.

I added a strip of Fast Fuse adhesive to the back of the panel on the left  and added some Calypso Coral Shimmer Ribbon, ruching it up and sticking it down as I went.

I cut a 4” by 4” piece of Tutti-Frutti dsp using my Stampin’ Trimmer and cut it at a diagonal. I added a thin strip of Crumb Cake cardstock to the edge and adhered the piece to the front of a Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The stamped panel was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and flagged the end. I added a small strip of dsp to the bottom of the sentiment and added it to the card front with Tombow. To complete the card I added some Subtles Enamel Dots. Such a sweet card.
