Birthday Goodness

Posted on by

I have been playing with the Birthday Goodness stamp set this week and have made a really sweet shaker card for my sister in laws birthday.

To recreate the Birthday Goodness card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Rococo Rose cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅜ by 3⅝” x 2
Rococo Rose cardstock 4¾” by 3¼”
Window Sheet 5” by 3½”

I die cut a rectangle from the centre of one of the Whisper White layers using a Rectangle Stitched die. Using the same die and the next one up I die cut the frame from the smaller panel of Rococo Rose cardstock.

I stamped the tower of macarons in Basic Gray ink onto the die cut stitched rectangle and coloured it in using the following Blends markers – Rococo Rose combo, Seaside Spray combo and Crumb Cake combo……….don’t they look good enough to eat!

I glued the Rococo Rose frame to the Whisper White frame using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive and added the window sheet to the reverse using Mini Glue Dots.

The larger Rococo Rose panel was added to the card front using the same adhesive. Placing the ‘frame’ onto the card front I added the same adhesive to the back of the stamped piece and nestled it inside the frame. The frame was then lifted away abd foam adhesive strips added all round the rectangular aperture making sure to leave no gaps.

I placed a pinch of the Woven Threads Seqiuns on top of the stamped image and added the frame over the top. The sentiment was stamped on basic Gray ink and added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

The inside of the card and the envelope were stamped with the tower of macarons in the Basic Gray ink.

Such a pretty card. I hope you like it.

Filigree Leaf from Seasonal Layers Framelits

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a clean and simple thinking of you card made using the Seasonal Layers framelit dies.

I started with a small piece of Whisper White cardstock which I die cut using one of the squares from the Stitched Shapes framelit dies and my Big Shot. Using an Aquapainter and my Lemon Lime Twist ink pad I added a light wash of Lemon Lime Twist to the die cut square being careful not to add too much water. I concentrated the colour at the bottom and let it go lighter as it neared the top.

Whilst the watercolour layer dried I die cut the beautiful filigree leaf from a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. Next, I mounted the Whisper White watercoloured panel to a square of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added the die cut leaf using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking 5 six inch lengths of Copper Metallic Thread I tied a multi-loop bow and added it to the base of the leaf near the stem with a Mini Glue Dot. I added a Glitter  Enamel dot to disguise the knot of the bow.

I placed the completed topper onto a card base of Thick Whisper White and stamped the sentiment form the Colorful Seasons stamp set using Chocolate Chip ink. I then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the square piece and added it above the sentiment.

Such a simple card but so effective. Hope you like it.

Colorful Seasons for July classes

Posted on by

We had a great time at last weeks’ classes using the fabulous  Colorful Seasons stamp set and co-ordinating Seasonal Layers dies and……. we made the first Christmas card of the year!!! Love Christmas.

The first card the ladies made was a double fold card. We used Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base and after folding added a piece Berry Burst Designer Series Paper (dsp) from the Color Theory paper stack to the front panel.

Using a piece of Whisper White cardstock which had a circle die cut out and a Stampin Sponge we added a circle of Pink Pirouette onto a small panel of Whisper white cardstock. Next we stamped the branches from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Early Espresso ink and added the flowers using the Berry Burst ink pad. They look so pretty and give a soft Asian feel to the panel. We die cut the Adirondack chair using the co-ordinating Seasonal Layers dies from the a piece of Early Espresso cardstock.  We mounted the stamped Whisper White panel onto a panel of Early Espresso cardstock. The chair was added to the panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. We added the whole panel to the card front again using Tombow.

The second card was more autumnal in colour and theme. We stamped the small solid leaf image randomly down the side of a Thick Whisper White card base in Old Olive ink. We stamped the same image in the same ink onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock which we then punched using the Scallop Tag Topper punch. We also punched the top of a strip of Color Theory dsp in Crushed Curry and added it using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the back left hand side of the tag. Using the Seasonal Layers dies we cut a partial leaf shape from the Old Olive tag and also cut a filigree leaf from a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock. A small solid leaf was stamped in Crushed Curry ink and die cut using the matching die. A small piece of Crushed Curry Ribbon was stapled to the top if the tag using the now retired Handheld Stapler and the staple hidden by the small Crushed Curry leaf. The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink before the tag was added to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. The filigree Crushed Curry leaf was then added to the card front using Tombow.

For the last card we stamped the 2 snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set randomly onto a layer of Night of Navy cardstock using Whisper White Craft ink and set it aside to dry. The sentiment from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Night of Navy ink. The 3 snowflake dies in the Seasonal Layers set were then die cut from a strip of Whisper White cardstock. When the Whisper White Craft ink was dry, it takes a couple of minutes; we added the sentiment piece using Tombow then mounted the whole panel onto the card front using Stampin Dimensionals before adding the die cut snowflakes with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Love all of these cards using this fantastically versatile stamp set and dies. I hope you like them.
