Minted Ferns for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using blending techniques. I have made a minted fern card using the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card.

Colors used in this project are:

 

To recreate the minted ferns card, you will need:

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Mint Macaron card – 5½” by 3⅞” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded lower left corner – for the inside

 

I tore along the edge of two strips of Post It tape and applied them to the smaller Basic White panel leaving a gap in between.

Leaving the Post It tape in position, I stamped the ferns in different shades og green – Evening Evergreen, Mossy Meadow & Shaded Spruce. I added the dotty image with Evening Evergreen ink.

Leaving the mask in place I added Bumblebee ink to the raised parts. The inked and embossed panel was added to the Basic Black layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of the gorgeous Gold Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and mounted the panel on the Bumblebee card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Eden Garden stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card. I used the Tailored Tag Punch to punch the sentiment out.

I also punch a label from the Basic Black scrap, cut it across the middle and glued it to the sentiment piece so that a flash of black showed top and bottom. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

Beautiful Bouquet Spray for an anniversary

Posted on by

We are using the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet for classes this month and I have been using the set over the last few days to make some samples for my inspiration table. I love the versatility of the set, it is so easy to make a clean and simple card or you can go mad with layering for a totally different look. I also love the many sentiments this set comes with; the font is so dainty, just beautiful.

Gorgeous anniversay card

I wanted to make a card featuring a floral spray rather than a bouquet and with a very simple colour palette. My starting point was the 2 circles which were left over from another project, one in Champagne Foil and the other from the Wood Textures dsp!

I inked up the flower stamp with Night of Navy ink and stamped it 4 times onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock without re-inking. I love that we can get 3 or 4 different shades of the same colour from an ink pad. I did the same thing with Bermuda Bay ink and then die cut all of the flowers using the co-ordinating Beautiful Bunch dies. I love Lemon Lime Twist with both Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy and chose to die cut the leaves from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I added a ½” strip of Night of Navy cardstock and a ⅜” strip of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to ground the circles which I had adhered slightly off centre.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a Thick Whisper White cardstock and added the leaves and flowers using a combination of Tombow Liquid Adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I wanted to add a little more shimmer to the card but could find something I liked; then I spotted some Champagne Foil scraps and used these to punch out small ⅛” and ¼” circles using the Hand Held Circle punches. I glued these down with Tombow.
