Basic White – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Basic White – 4½” by 1”

I cut ⅜” strips of the Luxe Foliage dsp and laid them, one at a time on the diagonal and butted up to the one before. I cut off the excess and, if they were long enough, I re-used them until the panel was covered.

Rustic Garden Silhouette Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing cards celebrating friendship. I have gone a bit rogue with this one and thought I would try my hand at reverse hot foiling – one small problem, my reverse die hasn’t yet arrived, so I improvised with interesting results.

 

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the rustic garden silhouette card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Secret Sea – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White – 5” by 3¼”
Light Pink Foil
Scrap Secret Sea

 

I had previously used the Hot Foil System with the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil dies and Light Pink Foil make a card and had kept the negative piece of foiling to use for something else.

As my Reverse Hot Foiling Plate hasn’t arrived, I decided to try using the back of the Buffalo Check Hot Foil die and the panel of Basic White card.

The result wasn’t quite what I hoped for as the foiling proved very patchy. I suspect the Buffalo Check die isn’t quite as thick as the Reverse Foil die……..lesson learned. Howver, I quite liked the rustic effect and decided to go with it by distressing the edges of the foiled white piece using Detailed Scissors.

A Trio of Festive Cheer Cards – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing beginner to avid cards. Starting with a simple card that a beginner would enjoy putting together and using the same rough layout to create a stepped-up version for the casual crafter with a little more experience and ‘stuff’ to make. Finally, designing a card for the avid crafter with lots of layers and bits. I have made my cards using the Festive Cheer stamp set and dies with the Everyday Arches dies.

 

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Beginner Card

Hydrangea Hue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Night of Navy – 4⅞ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

I stamped the outline bauble image onto the smaller panel of Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. The infill colour was added using Hydrangea Hue ink.

Trick or Treat Card – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by the theme ‘trick or treat’. Now, Halloween isn’t a big thing in the UK so I haven’t got any of the new Halloween themed stamp sets or dsp and as we are in the middle of packing up our house ready to move most of my craft supplies have been packed away so I have made the best use of what I have.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the trick or treat card using the following supplies:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic Black dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Crushed Curry and Basic Black

 

I embossed the panel of Basic Black card using the Fern & Flora 3D Folder and glued it to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card.

The embossed panel was then adhered to the Basic Black card front.

From scrap Crushed Curry card, I cut a triangle and tucked it under the circles.

I stamped the smallest detailed leaf on both pieces of Lovely Blossoms dsp measuring 4” by 1¼” using Old Olive ink. The three pieces of dsp were then glued to the Thick Basic White card base. The long thin piece along the top flap and the two shorter, squatter ones on either side.

I embossed the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder and glued the embossed piece to the 4⅛ by 3⅛” panel of Thick Basic White card with a small border around both sides and the bottom. It won’t reach the top of the panel, and this is intentional.
