The Beary Cute stamp set and Beary Cute Punch by Stampin' Up! used with the Joseph's Coat technique to make a balcony card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Bears on a Balcony card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing balcony fun fold cards. Now, I have never made one of these fun folds and spent quite a bit of time working out what I wanted to do. This card, made using the Beary Cute stamp set was inspired by a Youtube video made by the super talented Jay Soriano

 

Colours found in this card are:

 

To recreate the bears on a balcony card, you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by ⅞” x 4 – one for the back of the card to write on
Night of Navy card – 5½” by 3¾” x 3
Basic White card – 8½” by 2” – scored at 4⅛ and then at ½” at each end
Basic White card – 5¼” by 2¼” – scored at 2¼” and then at ⅜” at each end
Scrap Basic White

 

I tore a piece of copy paper into wavy strips and used them, with a Blending Brush and Night of Navy to add texture to the Night of Navy panels.

I then tried Jay’s technique with the soft pastels and drew over the dark blue lines with the Granny Apple Green pastel stick.

I used the flat end of the stick to stroke the colour upwards. I added some of the Gorgeous Grape using the pastel stick then lightly blended the colour with a Sponge Dauber.

The pastels have a tendency to smudge so I sprayed the panels with hairspray to set the colour.

The panels were then glued to the Basic White panels and were then glued to the front and inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Taking the 2 strips of Basic White card, I cut a wavy pattern along the top.

I took more of the copy paper strips and used a Sponge Dauber to stroke on Pool Party ink to give the effect of snow which would ground my bears.

I glued the inked strips to the inside of the card using the tabs at either end, making sure to  line the centre of each strip to the centre of the card.

Onto scrap Basic White card, I stamped a variety of bears from the stamp set in Night of Navy ink.

Some I punched out using the Beary Cute Punch, the others I fussy cut out.

The bears were then added to the inside of the card and the card front.

The sentiment was a bit of an after-thought and was stamped in Night of Navy on a scrap of inked Basic White card. I added it to the card front with liquid glue.

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

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.

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.

May 2023 Hello Ladybird classes with projects made using the Hello Ladybug stamp set and Ladybug Builder Punch by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Hello Ladybug stamp set and Ladybug Builder Punch used to make cards for my May 2023 Hello Ladybird classes

The ladybird wings were stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and the black spots added in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. They were punched out using the Ladybug Builder, shaped using a Bone Folder and added, with a Mini Glue Dot to the ladybird body which had been punched from scrap Basic Black card.

The ladybird was then added to the piece of Vellum using Dimensionals. I added some glue to the piece of vellum behind the ladybird where it would be hidden. The Vellum was then added to the card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the ¼” strip of Basic White card, trimmed down with Scissors and added to the card front.

A trio of Matte Black Dots completed the card and I tucked a Mini Glue Dot under each dot to help secure the Vellum piece.

A pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card made using the On The Farm stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Sheep Themed Thank You Card

Today I have been using the sweet On the Farm stamp set to make a pretty water coloured thank you card.

 

The colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the sheep thank you card, you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 3¼” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3⅛” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Strips of Basic White, Balmy Blue and Garden Green ⅜” wide

 

When I am stamping onto watercolor paper, I usually use my Stamparatus. Because the paper is textured the Stamparatus gives me the option of re-stamping if I miss spots or I want the image to be darker. So, I stamped the fields, trees and sheep in StaZon Jet Black ink.

I added a drop of Balmy Blue re-inker to the lid of the Balmy Blue ink pad and painted in the sky using a Water Painter. After the sky had dried, I coloured the fields in the same way using Garden Green ink.

The trees were painted with Shaded Spruce and the tree trunks in Early Espresso. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink re-fill to colour in the sheep and left the panel to dry.

The dried panel was then glued to the Garden Green card. I used Seal + as the panel was a little warped. The whole piece was mounted onto the Sahara Sand card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Best Family Ever, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink below the mounted image. I flagged the end of the three strips of card, each ⅜” and tucked them under the image.

A pretty celebration card made using the Count on Me stamp set used combined with the Hues of Happiness designer series paper by Stampin' Up!

Bear Celebration card

I couldn’t resist making a sweet celebration card using the adorable bear from the Count on Me stamp set and the Hues of Happiness dsp.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the bear celebration card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Hues of Happiness dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4” by 2½”
Early Espresso card – 2” by ½”

 

The dsp was added to the Thick Basic White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I ran a strip of Seal + in the middle and zigzagged a strip of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon down the panel.

The following Blends Pens were used to colour in the image – Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink and Pool Party. I like to edge the image with a light colour ink to ‘ground’ the image and use a Color Lifter to blur the edges of the colouring. The panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Early Espresso card, covered it in White Embossing Powder and heat set it. I trimmed the strip down before adding it to the card front.
