The Grassy Grove stamp set by Stampin' Up! and some ink blending used to make a beautiful deer at sunset card

Deer at Sunset card

Posted on by

This deer at sunset card has been in my mind for a while and finally I have got around to making it. I have used the gorgeous Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending.

The colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the deer at sunset card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo card – 3” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower right corner – for the inside

 

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes, I die cut a circle from a sheet of printer paper. This will act as a mask. The ‘mask’ was added over the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I used a little washi tape to hold the mask in place.

Using a Blending Brush, I swirled Lemon Lolly ink over the top three quarters of the negative circle. I added Daffodil Delight around the edge of the circle leaving the centre of the circle a lighter colour.

Flirty Flamingo ink was added to the bottom of the circle and the mask was then removed.

I inked up the meadow grass image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it near the bottom of the inked circle. The deer image was added using the same ink.

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set was originally stamped onto the stamped and inked panel below the meadow grass, but I really didn’t like it, so Plan B………. the sentiment was stamped again in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto a piece of Flirty Flamingo card. I die cut it using a die from the Sending Dies and added it, on Dimensionals, over the wrongly stamped sentiment……….much better.

A black Baker’s Twine bow was tucked under the sentiment and  a trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

A clubhouse sunset birthday card featuring a silhouetted golfer and made suing Stampin' Up! product

Clubhouse Sunset

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a gorgeous Clubhouse Sunset card made using the golfer from the lovely Clubhouse stamp and the baby swipe technique as described by Barry and Jay of Mitosu Crafts.

To recreate the Clubhouse Sunset card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black – 4⅝” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 4 ½” by 3⅝”
Scrap Whisper White

The small panel of Whisper White was coloured using the Baby Swipe technique. I folded a baby wipe in half and placed it on an I block. I added 3 drops of Pineapple Punch re-inker, 3 drops of Grapefruit Grove re-inker, 3 drops of Real Red re-inker, 3 drops of Granny Apple Green and 3 drops of Blueberry Bushel re-inker. I smudged them together using the edge of a smaller block then swiped the baby wipe, wrapped around the I block across the card stock panel. This gives such a cool effect. I set the panel to one side to dry.

When the panel was dry I adhered it to the Basic Black layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the front of the Thick Whisper White card base using the same adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Stamparatus as I knew I wanted the image to be really dark and that I would would require repeat stamping. The sentiment was then trimmed out using my scissors.

Stampin' Up!'s Lovely as a Tree at sunset

Autumn colours for Lovely as a Tree

Posted on by

I love stamping images from the Lovely as a Tree stamp set in Autumn colours and today’s card was inspired by the gorgeous sunsets we are blessed with living on the edge of The Fens. The pinks and peaches look fabulous together.

Lovely as a Tree by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely as a Tree in Autumn colours

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3½” by 3½” and masked it at ¾” on all 4 sides using Post It notes leaving a 2” by 2” square in the middle of the cardstock. I took a wedge of Stampin Sponge, dabbed it onto the surface of the Peakaboo Peach inkpad to pick up some ink and applied it to the centre of the masked off square. I found I got the best results by rubbing gently in a circular motion bringing the colour out gradually to the edge of the square. I dabbed a 2nd sponge into the Flirty Flamingo inkpad and started from the edge of the square and worked inwards. When I was happy with the depth of colour I used the Peakaboo Peach sponge to blend the 2 colours together before peeling away the Post It note masks to reveal the inked square.

When the ink was dry I added the ‘oak tree’ image in Early Espresso ink to the lower right corner overlapping the inked square. This is such a simple technique but the results look amazing.

I added the stamped and inked layer to a piece of Peakaboo Peach cardstock using Tomow Liquid Adhesive. I took a larger panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and wrapped a piece of Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon (retired) around it securing the ends on the back using sellotape.  I added the stamped panel on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set to the right using Peakaboo Peach ink before adding a bow with a Mini Glue Dot. The whole piece was then added to a Flirty Flamingo card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added a Whisper White panel 5⅜” by 3⅝”, to the inside of the card and stamped the tree again in the bottom right hand corner and stamped the same image again on the front of the Whisper White envelope. I love the way this card looks, hope you like it
