Free As A Bird for the Global Design Project #188

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card made for the Global Design Project Challenge #188 – CASEing the designer – in this case the super talented Brian King. To make the card I used the Make & Take supplies from the recent OnStage. I am always too busy chatting to make up the projects on the day…….. ho hum..

To recreate the Bird Ballard card

Pool Party card base 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party cardstock 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White 5½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside
Whisper White 4¼” by 2½”
Bird Ballard dsp 4” by 3”
Scrap Poppy Parade for die cutting
Scrap Whisper White for the sentiment

I had stamped the bough of birds in memento Tuxedo Black ink whilst at OnStage; I love this image and can’t wait for my stamp set to arrive. I coloured the image in using the following Blends – Crumb Cake combo, Old Olive combo, Poppy Parade combo, Daffodil Delight combo and the Colour Lifter.

I ran the Pool Party panel through the Big Shot using the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and glued it to the Pool Party card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I ran a strip of Snail in the centre of the embossed panel and added the strip of Vanilla Lace.

I die cut the word ‘wishes’ from the Well Written set of dies three times from scrap Poppy Parade cardstock and glued them one on top of the other to give some dimension to the sentiment. The dies cut piece was then added to the card front with same liquid adhesive.

Vibrant Vase Tag Card

Posted on by

I love that Stampin’ Up! have brought out another stamp set to work with the existing Vase Builder Punch. The stamp set is called Vibrant Vases and today I am using it without the punch.

Making the card

I stared with a strip of Whisper White cardstock 4¼” by 1⅞”. I stamped the solid vase image near the bottom in Lemon Lime Twist ink. I stamped the outline over the Lemon Lime Twist using Basic Gray ink and stamped the outline roses in the same ink.

The infill for the roses was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink and the leaves were added in Lemon Lime Twist. I added the sentiment from the Beauty Abounds stamp set randomly in Lemon Lime Twist ink all over the top part of the tag. I added some of the gorgeous Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon and held it in place with a small staple.

Next I took a panel of Coastal Cabana cardstock measuring 5” by 3¼” and ran it through the Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. I adhered it to a panel of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel as then added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The tag was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the one of the punches from the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack I punched out 3 flowers in Lemon Lime Twist and used my Paper Piercer to add some dimension to each flower and added a Glitter Enamel Dot to the centre of each flower and added them to the tag with Mini Glue Dots.

Such a sweet card, I hope you like it.

Christmas Wreath using the Painted Harvest stamp set

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the card I made for this month’s team challenge the theme of which was ‘make a Christmas project using non Christmas supplies. I decided to try making a Christmas Wreath using my Stamparatus and the Painted Harvest stamp set which hasn’t had a lot of love recently

Before starting this card I watched the video by Dawn of DoStamping –  where she explains how to make a template to use with the Stamparatus. I used my retired Square dies and Window Sheet to make the template for this particular; I wanted a larger sized wreath.

Making the Christmas Wreath card

I began by placing my Window Sheet template in the corner of my Stamparatus. I placed a 3¾” square of Whisper White cardstock in the negative space at the centre of the template; the square is exactly the same size as the negative space. I placed the solid leaf stamp onto the Whisper White cardstock and picked it up with one of the plates.

I inked the stamp with Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it down. I rotated the cardstock one turn within the template and inked up and stamped the leaf image in the same way. I repeated this step by stamping the leaf all the way round the panel.

Next I positioned the more detailed leaf stamp, inked up in Mossy Meadow ink and stamped it around the wreath as before. I stamped the sentiment from the Mistletoe Season stamp set in the centre of the wreath in Real Red ink and added some of the gorgeous new Red Rhinestones to give some colour and shine.

I ran a 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Real Red cardstock through the Big Shot with the Layering Leaves embossing folder and added the stamped panel on top with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of ⅜” Real Red Cotton Ribbon around the join securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally I added a bow in the same ribbon.
