Half Full – GDP #165

Posted on by

This week’s GDP #165 challenge is to make a project using the colours; Crumb Cake, Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide. I have to say these aren’t colours I would normally gravitate towards but I really enjoyed using them. This is what I came up with.

I chose the Half Full stamp set and stamped the bottles in the Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide onto Very Vanilla cardstock and added a layer of Merry Merlot behind having rounded the upper right corners………love a rounded corner!

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed in White on Tranquil Tide. The whole piece was then added to a layer of Merry Merlot. I wrapped a piece of Braided Linen Twine to the stamped piece and tied a bow.

A masculine card made using the Half Full stamp set

Half Full Masculine card

Posted on by

Yesterday was the 97th birthday of my lovely father-in-law and this is the card I made him using the half full stamp set. He loves a glass or two of red wine, preferably Shiraz but anything red will do so this stamp set was perfect.

Making the Half Full card

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅞” by 3¼”. I stamped the wine bottle in Momento Tuxedo Black ink randomly over the cardstock and added a couple of wine glasses.

Using the following Blends pens I coloured in all the images: Light & Dark Old Olive, Light & Dark Cherry Cobbler, Light & Dark Crumb Cake.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added a ½” strip of Gold Foil Paper to the right side of the stamped piece and added it with the same glue to a Merry Merlot card base.

I stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and added a strip of Gold Foil to the top and bottom with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment piece was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Unfortunately he ended up in hospital last week having collapsed at home. He had a pacemaker put in earlier this week and is now getting back on his feet and doing well.

I am really happy with this card, hope you like it.

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
