Painted Fox for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch. I have chosen to make a painted fox card using a stamp set available for free with a £45 order from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the painted fox card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 5⅝” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Ringed With Love dsp – 3 ½” by 2”
Ringed With Love dsp – 3⅛” by 3⅛” x 2
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – ⅜” strip

I began by gluing the 3 panels of Ringed With Love designer series paper to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was then embossed using the Painted Textures Embossing Folder, doesn’t it look great?

The embossed panel was then glued to the Garden Green layer and then to the Starry Sky layer using the same liquid glue.

The stitched circle was lying on my desk, left over from another project and had been die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Dies and a 3¼” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card. I placed the circle into my Stampartus, placed the fox, from the Stylish Sketches stamp set onto the circle and picked it up with the door.

I inked the grass using a Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker and the fox using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped down on the circle. I repeated the re-inking to get a darker image. I used a water Painter to blend out the ink n the fox and set it to dry.

Using Blending Brushes, I added Balmy Blue ink to the sky and Garden Green ink to the ground. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the strip of Basic White card. It was trimmed down and flagged using Scissors and added to the card front.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty poinsettia Christmas tree bauble on a rustic wood slice.

Tree Baubles for the December 2021 Class

Today I am sharing two pretty baubles designed for my December classes and made using the Poinsettia and Cabin dies.

Coloured we used are:

 

Poinsettia Bauble

Wood Slice –  I got mine here – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082HR4RV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil card
Jute Twine

We die cut and embossed the 3 layers of poinsettia petals from the Real Red card using the Poinsettia dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. They were then spayed, using a Spritzer, with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. They were then set aside to dry. The Frost White Shimmer Paint is sadly retired but you could use Clear Wink of Stella instead.

When they were dry, we curled the petals using a Bone Folder. The layers were then adhered together, offset, with Mini Glue Dots. We added the centre, die cut from Gold Foil card using the same Poinsettia Dies. It was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The holly leaves. 1 large and 2 small, were cut and embossed from the piece of Garden Green card. They were tucked under the poinsettia and glued down with the liquid glue.

We used some rustic jute twine from my stash to make a loop and bow to hang the bauble.

Cabin Bauble

Basic White circle – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Soft Suede – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”

Using a heavy-duty hole punch we punched a hole at the top of the wood circle.

 

Stampin' Up! products used to make a lovely tree bauble featuring a rustic Christmas cabin in the trees

I mounted the Birch background stamp on a Stamparatus plate, I find it easier to handle than the largest block, ink it up with Misty Moonlight ink and stamped it onto the bauble. It was then set aside to dry.

Placing the Basic White circle on top of the Soft Suede circle I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the detailed cabin die. We lifted the Basic White layer off the Soft Suede layer, leaving all the bits stuck on the Soft Suede piece. Using a Take Your Pick Tool we carefully lifted off the white scrap leaving the Soft Suede piece intact. The 2 pieces were then stuck together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added the cabin to the bauble on Dimensionals.

The trees were then die cut from the Garden Green layer using trees from the Cain Dies and tucked around the cabin. Using either liquid glue or Dimensionals. We added a loop of twine to the top to hang the bauble.

These baubles were such fun to make, I hope you like them.

The Home to Roost Sale-a-Bration stamp set used to make a sweet rustic style card

Home to Roost

Today I am sharing a sweet card made using the Home to Roost stamp set. This stamp set is one of the free Sale-a-Bration choices available with a £45 order up until the 31st March 2019.

Making the Home to Roost card

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Home to Roost stamp set used for a sweet rustic themed card

I started by taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4½” by 3¼”.  I rounded the upper right corner of the panel and stamped the ‘wheat’ image across the bottom in 1st and second generation So Saffron ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Early Espresso ink…….looks like my ink pad needs re-inking. I wrapped a length of Nature’s Twine around the top of the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added a bow with the same twine.

This stamped layer was glued, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Wood Textures dsp measuring 4⅞” by 3⅝”. Before adhering I rounded the upper right corner of the Wood Texture dsp using the Detailed Trio Punch. I rounded the upper right corner of an Old Olive card base and added the stamped panel with the same glue.

I stamped the rooster in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I coloured him in using the following Blends markers – Light Real Red, Pumpkin pie combo, Old Olive combo, Light Crumb Cake and Bronze. The coloured image was then fussy cut using my sharp scissors. The image was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a Whisper White panel (5⅜” by 3⅝”) to the inside of the card having stamped the wheat in one corner with So Saffron ink; I also rounded the upper right corner. I stamped the same image onto the front of a Whisper White envelope.

Country Home stamp set makes a Pretty watercolored rustic jug full of flowers for a simple but stunning card.

Country Home

Today I have been playing with the lovely Country Home stamp set and my Aquapainter. I love colouring in and using an Aquapainter and my ink pads makes this so easy.

Making the Country Home card

I cut a piece of Watercolor Paper 5” by 3½” and stamped the jug image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink in the lower right hand corner. I stamped the foliage image in the same ink on top of the jug and set the panel aside to dry.

Whilst I was waiting for the panel to try I cut a piece of Gray Granite cardstock 5⅞” by 1½”, spritzed it lightly with water and ran it through the Big Shot with the Tin Tile embossing folder. I love the great definition this folder gives.

For my colour palette I chose Gray Granite for the jug, Crumb Cake for the bulrushes, Granny Apple Green for the large leaves, Lemon Lime Twist & Daffodil Delight for the Artichoke, Mossy Meadow for the small leaves and Grapefruit Grove for the small buds. I squeezed ink into the lid of each pad and used my Aquapainter to colour in.

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink. I then wrapped a piece of Granny Apple Green ½” ribbon around the left side of the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape.

I added the Gray Granite embossed piece to the front of a Grapefruit Grove card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I rounded the upper right corner of the card base and the stamped watercoloured panel using the Detailed Trio Punch. The stamped panel was added over top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” to the inside of the card having stamped the tile image in Granny Apple Green ink across the bottom. I stamped the same image in the same ink down the side of a Very vanilla envelope. to the inside of the card. To finish off I added a scatter of Faceted Dots.

Such a simple, pretty card. I hope you like it.
