CASE a card for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are CASEing a demonstrator. Caseing means copy and share or copy and selectively edit a design created by someone else. I have chosen to case a design by Su Mohr changing the dsp and the stamp set.

Here is Su’s original design.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the CASE a wreath card, you will need:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Real Red card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner
Sweetest Christmas dsp – 5 ½” by 2”
Basic White card – 3” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I used the zig zag die from the Basic Borders dies set to shape the top and the bottom of the strip of Sweetest Christmas dsp. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the strip to one of the Basic White panels. The Basic White layer was then glued to the Real Red panel and then to the Garden Green card base.

The largest image was then stamped in Orchid Oasis ink and the second smallest in Parakeet Party ink. The second largest snowflake was stamped in Parakeet Party ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut it using the Frosted Flurry Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. This was added to the panel on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto the ⅜” strip of Orchid Oasis card in Versamark ink. I used the embossing Buddy prior to stamping to reduce the static. I added the White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. It was added on Mini Dimensionals, straddling the Parakeet Party snowflake.

A pretty pink Christmas trees card made using the Trees for Sale stamp set and Tree Lot Dies by Stampin' Up!

Pink Christmas Trees

Posted on by

Here is a pretty Christmas card featuring pink Christmas trees and made using the Trees For Sale stamp set and Tree Lot Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pink Christmas trees card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Blackberry Bliss card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 4⅝” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

 

The Trees for Sale stamp set is a 2-step stamping set and I began by stamping the largest solid image in 2nd generation Blushing Bride ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. 2nd generation means inking up the image, stamping onto scrap paper then stamping again onto the Basic White panel. This gives a lighter shade of your chosen colour.  I repeated this step to give 3 trees of different height.

The second, more detailed image was stamped over the top in full strength Blushing Bride ink.

The 2 images were stamped again, the solid image in 2nd generation Blackberry Bliss and the detailed image in full strength Blackberry Bliss ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Tree Lot Dies. The die cut tree was then added to the panel on Dimensionals.

Using Basic Gray ink I added 2 strings of lights and coloured in the bulbs with a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker.

I used a Blending Brush to add a little Blushing Bride ink to the background and then added some Blushing Bride stars. The stamped panel was then glued to the Blackberry Bliss layer.

I felt the Blushing Bride card front needed a little something so stamped the largest detailed tree across the bottom in Blushing Bride ink. I added some light strings in Blushing Bride ink at the top of the card front. A few stars completed the decoration. The stamped panel was then added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The detailed tree was then added in Starry Sky ink. The stamped panel was glued to the Starry Sky layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

Metallic Holly Leaves card

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Metallics Blog op where we are sharing, surprize, surprize – projects made using Metallics. I have made a metallic holly leave card to share today.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the metallic holly leaves card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Vellum – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Silver Foil, Gold Foil & Copper Foil

 

Using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, I embossed the piece of Vellum and adhered it to the Soft Sea Foam card base using Seal +, one strip in the centre of the card base where it would be hidden.

I die cut the label from the scrap Basic White card.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the die cut label, covered with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool.

From Silver Foil card, I die cut the backing piece to put behind the holly leaves on the label. The label was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Holly Berry Dies again, I die cut a large detailed holly leaf from Copper Foil and the smaller holly leaf form the Gold Foil and tucked them under the label, using Mini Glue Dots to hold them in place.
