Graceful Glass dsp by Stampin' Up! used for a sympathy card

Graceful Glass Sympathy card

Posted on October 9, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have made a sweet sympathy card using the Graceful Glass Vellum Designer Series Paper. This dsp is absolutely gorgeous and needs very little doing to it to make a stunning card.

Making the Graceful Glass card

I started by choosing the panel of dsp I wanted, I loved this square, scrolly one. I trimmed the panel down, turned it over to the reverse side and coloured it in using the Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig Stampin Write Markers. It looks so pretty…..

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock exactly the same size as the vellum dsp panel, 3” by 3”. I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon Mat and using a wedge of sponge I applied the glue, thinly all over the Whisper White panel and added the coloured vellum panel.

I cut a border strip from another of the dsp sheets. I added the coloured vellum panel to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and tucked the border piece in behind using a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive where it would be hidden.

The sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set was stamped in below the coloured panel in Tranquil Tide ink. I love the font in this stamp set.

This is such a striking card. I hope you like it.

Painted Glass celebration card using Stampin' Up! product

Painted Glass for a team member promotion

Posted on August 12, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made recently using the Painted Glass Stamp set and co-ordinating Stained Glass dies. I made the card for my lovely team member Jill who promoted to Bronze Elite, well done Jill.

Making the painted Glass card

I started by using my Embossing Buddy on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock then stamping the gorgeous sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set in Versamark ink. I covered the sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder before using my Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. I really love this gothic style font and it looks amazing when embossed.

I die cut the sentiment using the Stitched Shaped framelit dies and die cut a scalloped oval using the Layered Oval dies from Copper Foil. I glued these together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On another scrap of Whisper White card I stamped the rose image 4 times in Versamark ink, covered it with Copper Embossing Powder then heated it with my Heat Tool. Taking the Flirty Flamingo ink and the Highland Heather ink and Sponge daubers I applied ink to all the flowers. When they were all coloured I ran them through my Big Shot with the co-ordinating Stained Glass dies.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½” and added a strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and a strip of Highland Heather cardstock 4½” by ¼” diagonally across the panel and added the stamped oval over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then added the 4 roses to the panel with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. For some added interest I rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed trio Punch.I added this panel to a layer of Highland Heather cardstock 4 ½” by 3 ¾”. This whole layer was added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. As a final touch I added a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I really like this card and colour combo. I hope Jill likes it

Painted Glass Sneak Peek

Posted on April 17, 2018April 15, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing with you a sneak peek of some new product which will be available in the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue from the 1^st June. The stamp set I am using today is called Painted Glass and is absolutely gorgeous, I especially love the really old fashioned manuscript style font.

Method

I began with a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼”, inked up the delicate little butterfly stamp in Archival Basic Black ink and stamped it randomly down the entire strip. I then took my Coastal Cabana Marker…….yes y this gorgeous colour which was one of the 2013 – 2015 In Color‘s is now coming back into the Brights color family as part of Stampin’ Up!’s colour revamp . I was so happy when I found I still had the marker and a small amount of the cardstock in my collection. Anyway, I digress……I coloured in parts of each butterfly using the Coastal Cabana Marker.

I added the stamped panel onto a layer of Basic Black cardstock 5⅞” by 2½” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive then adding the whole piece to the front of a Coastal Cabana card base again using Tombow.

Taking another piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 1” I stamped the beautiful sentiment in Archival Basic Black ink roughly in the centre of the piece then trimmed the cardstock, using my Stampin’ Trimmer, so that the sentiment would sit over the butterfly panel. The sentiment was then added to the card front with Stampin Dimensionals.

I stamped another butterfly onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using Stampin’ Up!’s really sharp Paper Snips. After colouring in part of the butterfly with my Coastal Cabana Marker I added some Basic Rhinestones to the butterfly body and added it to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Such a pretty card using one of our returning colours. Hope you like it.
