The Above it All stamp set and Fragrant Forest background stamp by Stampin' Up! used to make a pretty card

Above The Forest card

Posted on by

Here is a cute card made by combining the Fragrant Forest and Above It All stamp sets. During the Summer my husband and I were in Cortina, Italy with friends and we were lucky enough to ride up the mountains in the gondola of a cable car just like the one I stamped.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the above the forest card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pretty Peacock card – 5¼” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

I stamped the Fragrant Forest background stamp in Shaded Spruce ink onto the 5⅛” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card. The stamped panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer.

A Good Man and Mountain Air stamp sets used to make a lovely masculine birthday card

Good Man

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card made for my son in law Dom’s birthday. He and my daughter are lucky enough to live on the edge of the Peak District in the UK and they love to get out to walk or climb as often as possible. I have used the stamp set called A Good Man and teamed it up with my favourite Mountain Air stamp set.

To recreate the Good Man card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner x 2
Whisper White ¼” strip

I started by stamping the man in the deckchair using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped it again onto a large Post It note and cut it out using scissors. I wanted the man in the deckchair to be in the foreground of the picture and used the cut out as a mask.

With the mask in position I stamped the mountains in Misty Moonlight ink, the detailed image in full strength ink and the background reverse image in 2nd generation.

I hope Dom likes the card.

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the card I made my husband for Valentine’s Day. He is a mad keen runner and loves the outdoors so the Do the Impossible and Mountain Air stamp sets were perfect.

To recreate the Do the Impossible Valentine card you will need:

Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Poppy Parade – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2
Whisper White – 2” by ½”

I began by stamping the runners from the Do the Impossible stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. I stamped the same image on PostIt tape and cut out the figures using sharp scissors. These were then used to cover the figures acting as masks.

Next I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set – detailed mountains in full strength Soft Suede, background mountains in 2nd generation Soft Suede then 1st , 2nd  and  3rd generation Sahara Sand.

Tree line was stamped in full strength Shaded Spruce. I added the ‘path’ using some of the images from the My Meadow stamp set and 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Crumb Cake ink. I used the tree line stamp from the Mountain Air stamp set, stamped in Balmy Blue to provide the water.

The masks were then peeled off revealing the runner. They were coloured in using the following Blends Markers – girl in Poppy Parade como, Highland Heather combo, Ivory and Bronze and the man in Pretty Peacock combo and Call Me Clover combo, Ivory and light Smoky Slate. I used the Crumb Cake combo to fill in the white space around the images.

I stamped the sun in So Saffron ink and used a sponge and Balmy Blue ink to add the sky. The birds were stamped in Early Espresso ink. The inked panel was glued to the Poppy Parade layer and this was added to the Shaded Spruce card base with Dimensionals.
