Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink.  I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.

The finished piece was added to the Shaded Spruce panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I think this is so pretty but if I am honest doesn’t look all that bleak…….. What do you think?

The In The Pines stamp set used to make an Christmas card for the Hopping Around the World blog hop

Holiday Mini Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where our theme this month is ‘Holiday Mini’. I love this time of year with Autumn and Christmas…… so many lovely things to chose from. If you have hopped on from the lovely Sandra Hertzog, I am sure you loved her project. You are now with Mo Rootes in the UK.

I have chosen to use the In the Pines stamp set to make a fairly simple card.

To recreate the Holiday Mini card you will need:

Pool Party card base – – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Whisper White – 5” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Early Espresso

I placed the smaller panel of Whisper White in the Stamparatus, upper right corner and set up the outline of the large pine tree on one of the panels. I stamped the image with the Early Espresso ink on the left, moved along one step and stamped again without re-inking. I inked again with the same ink and repeated both steps to give 4 trees.

I lined up the inner tree image on top of the 1st stamped tree and picked it up with the back of the plate. I inked it up with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped it onto the first tree then moved along one hinge step to stamp the second tree and repeated the process.

To recreate the Coming Home card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Shaded Spruce 4½” by 2 ½”

Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” Rounded upper right corner
DSP strip 5 ½” by ½” – I chose the Most Wonderful Time dsp

Scrap Whisper White card

I began by using the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die cut a scalloped rectangle from the Shaded Spruce and small Whisper White pieces.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged both ends of the DSP strips and glued them to the front of the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue. These were 2 scrap pieces that happened to co-ordinate with the colour combo I was using. You can use anything you happen to have.

The Snowflake Wishes stamp set used to make an Up in the Air card for the Hopping Around the World blog hop

Up in the Air

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the Hopping Around The World monthly blog hop where our theme is ‘Up in the Air’. Such a fun topic……. I have chosen to use the new Snowflake Wishes stamp set for my card. It has been so hot in the UK this month that I am dreaming of a sky whirling with cold snowflakes………bliss

To recreate the Up in the Air card you will need

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2

Using large Post It Notes I masked a 1½” strip from top to bottom of one of the Whisper White layers.

I added colour to the masked area using sponges. I started with Blushing Bride ink, then Purple Posy ink and finally Pool Party ink blending each colour into the next.

I removed the Post It Notes and stamped the snowflakes in Misty Moonlight ink overlapping the masked area.
