Clear Block Leaves Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using the clear block technique. I have made my card using the gorgeous Elegant Leaves stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the clear block leaves card using the following supplies:

Cherry Cobbler card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap – Secret Sea

 

I pressed clear block B onto the Daffodil Delight inkpad, covering the whole surface with ink. I lifted the inked block up and spritzed the inky side a couple of times with water and placed it onto the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card leaving it for a minute or so to allow the ink to transfer.

Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

Colours in this card are:

 

 

To recreate the Fall goodies card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 4”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾”
Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5” by 1“scored at ½”,1” and 1½” at each end

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

Autumnal Flowers card – Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Giving Thanks Blog Hop. There are so many things I am thankful for: my lovely family, my friends, the friendly village I live in and lots more. I have made an Autumnal flowers card for one of my lovely friends using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set and some seasonal colours.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Autumnal flowers card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Mossy Meadow card

 

I stamped the cluster of flowers all over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card in Early Espresso ink. I also stamped the same image in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the upper left and lower right corners of the Soft Sea Foam card front.

Using Blends Pens I coloured in the images. The large flower was coloured with light and dark Pumpkin Pie with a little dark Cajun Craze. The medium flower was coloured with light and dark Wild Wheat and the final flower with light and dark Cherry Cobbler. The centres were coloured with the darkest natural tones blends or pecan pie blends. The cherry cobbler flower centre was coloured with dark Soft Sea Foam.

The leaves were coloured in using light and dark Mossy Meadow Blends. Using all the light Soft Sea Foam I coloured in all the remaining white space, it looked too bright against the rich colours of the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Mossy Meadow card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. Using one of the labels from the Changing Leaves Dies I die cut the sentiment. I ran it through twice as I wanted the label to be shorter. The sentiment was then added to the card front.

The 1¼” piece of Early Espresso card with the added Basic Beige and dsp panel was lined up with the bottom edge and sides of the card base, I held it in position with a little removable adhesive from my stash. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was applied to the back of the die cut and decorated label, on the top and bottom only and the label was added it to top and bottom strips of the card front.

The Basic Beige panel for the inside was glued in position and the sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink where it would be hidden behind the floating label. I also stamped the hashed image in Early Espresso ink.

To make the back of the card front look a little neater I glued the 2nd Poppy Parade label to the back. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the label and tied in a bow. A trio of Earth Tones Shimmer Gems finished the card.

An Autumnal Tree card made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using the gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Autumnal Tree card – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing Spring/Autumn themed projects. I have chosen to make a lovely Autumnal tree card using the Loveliest Tree stamp set and Dies. This card was inspired by a video made by fellow demonstrator Emma Ryder, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the video again to link it to mine.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the lovely Autumnal tree card:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crushed Curry card – 5” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Copper Clay & Mossy Meadow card

 

I stamped the tree in Early Espresso ink onto the 4¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card and set it aside to dry.

Using a pair of Paper Scissors, I roughed up the edge of a scrap of Mossy Meadow card allowing it to shred in small pieces. I repeated this with scraps of Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Copper Clay card. All the card dust and small scraps were collected on a sheet of scrap paper.

Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was then applied to the stamped tree canopy, covering as much of the surface as possible with a thin smear of glue. This gives the tree canopy a great textured look.

I tipped all the paper scraps onto the glue smeared tree canopy, pressing all the pieces down into the glue and gently rubbing and tapping off any excess and applying them to areas not already covered.

Using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Pen, I coloured in a length of the White Diagonal Striped Ribbon. Being a little impatient I then placed it on the stamped panel forgetting that it takes time for the ribbon to dry. Sadly, the colour seeped into the white card. So I decided to die cut the decorated tree and by doing this all the texture I had achieved was flattened! However, I quite liked the resulting effect so decided to press on.

I cut another panel of Basic White card 4¼” by 3” and wrapped, the now dry piece of ribbon around the it, securing the ribbon on the back with Sellotape and in the centre with a Mini Glue Dot. The die cut tree was then added to the panel on Dimensionals.

From the panel of Crushed Curry card I die cut a rectangle using the Perennial Postage Dies and added this behind the decorated panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Mossy Meadow card base.

At this point I decided to stamp my sentiment directly onto the panel!!! What was I thinking! I chose a sentiment, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set then decided to mask some of the words as I only wanted the word ‘hello’. I inked up the sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink, removed the masking paper strip and stamped the word onto the card front and thankfully got away with it……

An Autumnal swap card made for a training event using the Frosted Forest stamp set from Stampin' Up! - Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Frosted Forest Autumnal Swap Cards – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing the frosted forest Autumnal swaps I designed for our recent training session in Lincoln.

Colours in these cards are:

 

To recreate the frosted forest Autumnal swaps, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅞” by 2”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”

 

I embossed the panel of Cherry Cobbler card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders selection. This was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

The thin strip of Pecan Pie card was then glued in place butted up against the embossed panel.

Using the Countryside Corner Dies I die cut a label from the 5” by 3 ½” piece of Basic White card. The large tree image was inked up with Copper Clay ink and stamped it onto the die cut label.

I placed the 1st mask in position and added Pecan Pie ink using a Sponge Dauber. With the 2nd mask in position, I randomly added Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler ink to the image.

With the 3rd mask, I started by adding Copper Enamel Effects using a Palette Knife. I absolutely loved the effect but doing more than 2 or 3 at a time became a pain as the enamel effects started to dry on the mask and became more difficult to clean. So, after a bit of thought I switched plans and started adding Versamark ink with a sponge dauber. I removed the mask, covered the image with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it.
