Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing sneak peeks of Sale-a-Bration items which will be available from the 4th January 2022 with a qualifying order. I am using the gorgeous Friendly Hello stamp set paired with the Simply Marbleous dsp.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the hello card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Simply Marbleous dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

A scalloped rectangle was die cut from the 5” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Scalloped Contour Dies. I used Post It Notes Ito mask off the stitched lines of the scalloped rectangle ready to stamp my image.

The flowers were coloured using the light & dark Flirty Flamingo Blends Alcohol Markers and the centres were coloured with the light Smoky Slate Blends Alcohol Marker. After the images were stamped, I removed the masks and added the panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry. Doesn’t it look cool?

When the Vellum was dry, I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front with liquid glue.

Today I am sharing a colourful Autumn ferns card. I love the colours of Autumn, the crisp cool mornings and the rustling of fallen leaves under foot don’t you?

To recreate the Autumn Ferns card you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower left corner
Cinnamon Cider – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝” – – Rounded lower left corner – one for the inside
Flowers for all Seasons dsp – 3⅝ by 2”
Brass Foil – 3⅝” by ½”
Scrap Whisper White

I began by stamping the fern leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set onto one of the Whisper White panels; starting about 1¾” from the bottom knowing the the bottom would be covered.

The strip of Brass Foil was glued to the dsp strip using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Whisper White Crinkle Seam Binding around the dsp and I used the same glue to add the piece to the stamped Whisper White layer covering up all the messy stems.

Little Elephant stamp set and Elephant Builder Punch makes a cute card

Purple Elephant

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made for a friend, it features a little purple elephant because she loves elephants and the colour purple………..it had to be done.

Making a purple elephant card

I began by stamping the larger of the 2 elephants onto a scrap of Whisper White using Gorgeous Grape ink and punched it out using the co-ordinating Elephant Builder Punch. I die cut a circle from Whisper White cardstock using the Layering Circle Dies and my Big Shot and stamped the sentiment using the Gorgeous Grape ink. The tiny bird was added in Pool Party. I then die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Gorgeous Grape cardstock and adhered it to the stamped panel.

I inked up the plaid strip in Gorgeous Grape and stamped it about an inch from the bottom of a 5¼” by 3½” panel of Whisper White. I added a strip, 3½” by 1½” of Pool Party designer series paper (dsp) taken from the Subtles 6” by 6” paper stack. I punched the upper left corner with the Detailed Trio Punch and added a layer of Pool Party cardstock with the same punched corner. The panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the layered circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed the cute little purple elephant onto the circle again using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete the project I added a few Iridescent Sequins. Gorgeous, I hope you like it.

Gorgeous flowers and vases for a hello card

Varied Vases for a sweet ‘Hello’ card

Posted on by

One of the first items I added to my pre-order basket was the gorgeous Varied Vases stamp set and its co-ordinating Vases builder Punch.  I was so happy to see another stamp set and co-ordinating punch as the ladies in my classes love this combination. For today’s project I have only used the stamp set.

I took a 4⅛” by 2¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the vases in groups across the panel in Pool Party, Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Calypso Coral ink. I overlapped some of the vases to add interest.

I inked up the gorgeous floral stem in Early Espresso ink being careful to only partly ink up the stem as in this case I didn’t want to ‘see’ them in the vase. I coloured the flowers in with Calypso Coral ink but managed to get a small halo by rocking the stamp………don’t you hate doing that. To cover it up I re-inked the stem and stamped again adding the flower colour more carefully this time.

At the other end of the strip I stamped 2 partial stems in Early Espresso ink and added 2 of the ‘tulip’ style flowers with the Early Espresso and coloured them in with So Saffron ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Calypso Coral ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it out with my scissors adding a flagged end before gluing it with Tombow Liquid Adhesive  to the right side of the panel.

The stamped panel was adhered to a Calypso Coral strip 4⅛” by ½”.  The scalloped border was stamped in Calypso Coral ink about half way up a Thick Whisper White card base and the completed panel was added on top with Stampin Dimensionals. A few Basic Rhinestones were added to finish the card off.

Such a simple, pretty card. Hope you like it

Eclectic Expression Flowers – Stamp ‘N Hop

Posted on by

Stamp 'N Hop blog hop by Mo Rootes

Welcome, this month for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop (try saying that fast when you are tired) we are focusing on the gorgeous items in the 2nd Sale-a-Bration release. Don’t you just love the chance to earn more amazing free goodies, I know I do.

I have chosen to use the Eclectic Expression stamp set for today’s blog hop. I have to admit this stamp set was not the first item I saw when I opened the brochure. It isn’t as flashy and obvious as the other options but I have come to love these more abstract sets. With a set like this I usually stamp everything out just to see what the images look like and how they relate to each other and here is what I came up with.

Method in my madness

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼” and stamped the small spotted circle randomly leaving large gaps between each circle. I initially stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink but ended up changing this to Tranquil Tide. Taking the smaller of the ‘splotchy’ images I stamped around 2 of the spotty circles to form flower petals, slightly overlapping looks better. I repeat this using Daffodil Delight ink then Peakaboo Peach ink rotating the stamp to give the flowers a different look. Having decided I didn’t like the Pear Pizzazz I stamped the spotty circle again in Tranquil Tide ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the ½” Circle Punch. I added these to the centre of each flower using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I mounted the stamped panel onto a layer of Calypso Coral cardstock 5⅞” by 2 ½” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I planned to add this panel to a Thick Whisper White card base but felt there was something missing. After a bit of faffing I took a strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock 5⅞” by ½”, punched it out using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and added it to the right side using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the whole panel to the Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow.

I stamped the sentiment from the Badges & Banners Stamp set in Tranquil Tide ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Duet Banner Punch. I used the same punch to punch a piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock which I added to the back to give a shadow effect. I added this to the card front using Tombow on the right and a Stampin’ Dimensional on the left. A scattering of Iridescent Sequins finished added a little sparkle to the card.
