Making the Doily Builder card swap

Swaps for OnStage made using the gorgeous Doily Builder dies by Stampin' Up!

You will need;
Window Sheet 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper right corner
Either Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo or So Saffron cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Scraps of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron cardstock, Whisper White & Gray Granite cardstock for die cutting and punching

I began by cutting the large doily into the Window sheet using my Big Shot. This gave me a sturdy stencil that could be used multiple times over.

I placed the mask onto the Whisper White panel, holding it in place with my finger. I inked up the stencil using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana inks in random orders. I moved the stencil and repeated again using the colours randomly.

I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Whisper White and punched it out using the Classic Label punch. This was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

I die cut the medium and small doilies using the same three colours and added one small and one medium doily to the stamped panel using Mini Glue Dots.

The Gray Granite butterfly was punched out using the Butterfly Duet punch and this was added to the stamped panel with a Mini Glue Dot. The panel was then added to a panel of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo or So Saffron cardstock and a trio of Iridescent Sequins added to complete the card front.

I really liked the combination of Spring like colours. Ihope you like it.

A Peter Rabbit Easter card for the Stamp 'n Hop blog hop challenge

Fable Friends Easter Stamp ‘n Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to this month’s Stamp ‘n hop Blog Hop where the theme is Easter. If you have joined me from the lovely Sandra then welcome, my name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. I hope you enjoy my project.

Making the Easter card

I started by taking a piece of Window Sheet about 5 ½” by 3 ¾” and ran it through the Big Shot with the large die from the Doily Builder Die set.  This effectively created a stencil for me to use to make the background of the card.

I laid the stencil onto a piece of Whisper White measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜” and holding it firmly in place I inked it up using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Grapefruit Grove inks applied using  Sponge Daubers. I rounded the upper right corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added the inked piece to a panel of So Saffron cardstock with the same corner rounded using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive.

I then stamped the cute little Peter Rabbit image in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap piece of Watercolor Paper and die cut it out using the Stitched Shapes framelits and my Big Shot. I used Crumb Cake, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo inks and an Aqua Painter to paint the rabbit.

I used the Layering Oval dies to cut a scalloped oval and added it to the back of the stamped piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Grapefruit Grove Grosgrain Ribbon around the inked panel and secured it on the back with Sellotape.

The oval topper piece was added to the panel, over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a bow of the same ribbon added with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment was added to the card front with Flirty Flamingo ink. The whole panel was then added to a Crumb Cake card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I finished off by adding a trio of Share What You love Artisan Pearls.

I used the stencil and inks in the same way to decorate a piece of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the inside of the card. I used the same technique to colour the front of the envelope.

Such a pretty card, I hope you like it. Please hop on the see what Jenna has to share with us.

A lovely floral card for the CAS Colour & Sketches #309 colour challenge using the Painted Seasons stamp set

CAS Colours & Sketches #309 – Painted Seasons

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for the CAS Colours and Sketches #309 Challenge. I used the gorgeous Painted Seasons stamp set, can’t seem to get enough of this set at the moment. The challenge this time asked us to create a project using Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz inks.

Making the CAS Colours & Sketches card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and randomly stamped the 2 flowers, 1 in Daffodil Delight and the other in So Saffron ink. I then stamped 2 of the leaf images in 1st or 2nd generation Pear Pizzazz ink. The small cluster of stars were then randomly added in So Saffron ink. Basically I used the stamps to make my own dsp.

Using my Bigshot and the Doily Builder dies I cut out the ring doily from Whisper White cardstock. I only wanted the centre piece and added the detailed ring to my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Forever lovely stamp set onto the centre die cut in Pear Pizzazz ink. I added a portion of one of the large flowers at the bottom of the die cut using Daffodil Delight ink. The piece was then mounted using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, onto a Basic Gray circle, cut using the Layering Circle dies. The sentiment was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped one of the flower images in Daffodil Delight ink and a leaf in Pear Pizzazz ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the inside of the card having rounded the upper left corner. The same images were then stamped on the front of a Whisper White Envelope.

A quirky card made for the JAI #442 challenge using the Dear Doily and Wonderful Romance stamp sets

Dear Doily for the Just Add Ink #442 challenge

Posted on by

I have made such a sweet card today for the Just Add Ink #442 challenge. This challenge this week is a really quirky sketch which I thought would work perfectly with the Dear Doily stamp set and the co-ordinating Doily Builder dies.

Making the card

I began by stamping the sentiment from the Dear Doily stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scarp panel of Whisper White. I used one of the doily dies from the Doily Builder Stamp set, I didn’t realise that the die I chose would cut out the circle die and the inside of the circle separately……… When I placed the white circle die cut and the pierced rim onto the panel of Rich Razzelberry cardstock, measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” it didn’t look right. After a bit of trial and error I settled for die cutting the same piece from Mint Macaron cardstock and adding back the stamped Whisper White centre.

I stamped the leafy frond from the Wonderful Romance stamp set in Rich Razzelberry ink onto the Rich Razzelberry panel and mounted the stamped doily piece in the centre on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the Wonderful Floral dies and my Big Shot I cut some leaves from scrap Petal Pink cardstock and from Vellum cardstock and tucked them in under the doily using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to secure them. I love the embossed texture on these leaves.

The whole Rich Razzelberry panel was layered onto a Whisper White piece measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was then added to a Petal Pink card base. A trio of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls finished off the card front.

I am really happy with how this card turned out and I really love the swirly font of this sentiment.
