Enjoy the Run Double Z Fold card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share the enjoy the run birthday card made for my husband’s upcoming birthday using the Enjoy the Day designer series paper. He is a keen ultra-runner and loves to run in 30 – 100-mile events – so this dsp and the co-ordinating Greatest Journey Dies were perfect for his birthday card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the enjoy the run card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 11” by 5½” – scored at 2¾” and 5½”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 5⅜”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 5¼” by 5¼”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 2⅝”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 5¼” by 5¼”

Thick Basic White inner card base – 9¼” by 4¼”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 4⅛” by 3⅝”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 4⅛” by 2⅝”
Scrap Basic White and Basic Black
Basic White card – 5¼” by 5¼”

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid adhesive I glued the larger pieces of designer series paper (dsp)  – I used the starry sky patten – to the slightly larger panels of Basic White card. The panels were then glued to the Starry Sky card base.

I die cut 3 or 4 of the ‘ground’ strips from scrap Basic Black card and laid them out along the bottom of the 3 smaller panels of dsp – I used the green mountains and trees pattern – I moved them around until I got the look of a connected strip of ground.

I die cut a number of ‘runners’ from scrap Basic Black card and added then to the scene with liquid glue.

The white inner card base was the positioned onto the Starry Sky card base and the front panel of both adhered together, making sure to only add glue to the left side of the Basic White piece.

I added glue to the back of the Thick Basic White bae and closed the card, adhering it to the back panel of the Starry Sky card base.

Clouds were then die cut from scrap Basic White card and added them to the card.

Christmas Mountain Air for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are showcasing our favourite bundle. My favourite bundle is the gorgeous and so versatile Mountain Air stamp set and Majestic Mountain Die and I have created a Christmas Mountain Air card. I have used the stamps for my card today and paired it with the So Many Snowflakes Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Mountain Air card, you will need:

Pool Party base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Taking one of the smaller panels of Basic White, I stamped the detailed mountains in Misty Moonlight ink. I reversed the stamp, inked it again with Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off twice onto scrap paper before stamping it over the detailed mountains.

I inked the detailed trees with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped them below the mountains. I cleaned the stamped and inked it again in Pool Party and stamped it upside down below the trees to give the illusion of water.

Using a mask punched from a Post It Note with a ¾” Circle Punch, I added some Pool Party ink to the sky with a Blending Brush.

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.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set was stamped onto a ¼” strip of Whisper White in Misty Moonlight ink and cut it down using Scissors. It was added with liquid glue to the card front.

I hope Dom likes the card.

Masculine Birthday card using the Waterfront stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Waterfront Birthday card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the birthday card I made for my lovely husband using the Waterfront stamp set. I absolutely love this stamp set but I have to admit when I first opened it I found it quite intimidating…………and then I started to see the most amazing projects made using it. So I took it out and started to play.

Making the Waterfront card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and using the ‘mountain ‘image I stamped it multiple times in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation Smoky Slate ink on the left hand side of the cardstock. Stamping the image multiple times in many directions and in many generations of ink has created a cliff effect with texture and shading. I used an Aqua Painter to soften and blend the stamping.

I added the ‘trees’ at the base of the cliff in multi generation Smoky Slate ink. Right at the bottom of the panel I stamped just the tops of the trees in Smoky Slate ink to give the appearance of shrubby bushes. I then added some trees in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I added some Whisper White ink to the left side of some of the trees to give the effect of snow.

I punched a circle from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch making sure to catch the sticky part and added it to the scene just above the tree line. Taking a wedge of Stampin’ Sponge I inked it up in Pacific Point ink and blended it over the top of the panel to add depth to the sky. I stamped the ‘tiny stars’ randomly across the sky in Whisper White ink, it is really subtle but gives of a snowy sky. I peeled away the mask and used a Sponge Dauber to colour the sun, or possibly moon……..I can’t decide if it is a day or night picture.

I mounted the stamped panel onto a layer of Basic Black cardstock 5½” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added it to a Thick Whisper White card base on Stampin Dimensionals and stamped the sentiment from the Party Pandas stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink.
