So Refreshing Floating Panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love fun folds and today I am sharing a floating panel card made using the So Refreshing stamp set and inspired by Susan Campfield – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3Lrs-aNu4.

 

The colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the so refreshing card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 2 1/16” and 4⅛”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 1⅞” x 2
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 3” by 2” – scored at ¾”, 1½”, 2¼”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I folded and burnished the score lines on the Thick Basic White card base and glued the panels of Stargazing dsp to the card base.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I die cut rectangles from 5” by 3½” and 4” by 3” panels of Basic White card. I trimmed off the left side of the larger rectangle. Using a Blending Brush, I added Berry Burst ink, lightly around the edges of both of the scalloped rectangles. The sentiment was then stamped at the top of the smaller rectangle in Berry Burst ink.

The outline of the jug was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card and added the infill in Lemon Lime Twist ink. The glass was stamped next in Pebbled Path ink and added the infill using the same Lemon Lime Twist ink.

The spray of flowers was stamped on scrap Basic White card, the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green, outline flowers in Berry Burst ink and infill flowers in Bubble Bath ink. I stamped an extra flower and trimmed it out using Scissors.

The two scalloped rectangles were then decorated with all the die cut pieces.

The larger rectangle with the cut down side was then inserted onto the back panel. I didn’t do this correctly………. I didn’t actually watch Susan’s video to the end as I thought I knew what she had done……….. haven’t we all made that mistake. What I should have done was fold in the two outer pieces of the 3” by 2” panel and place them, folded side down, straddling the scoreline and adhering them with a strong adhesive. The rectangle panel should then be glued to the left had side.

The smaller rectangle is then added to the front piece with glue only on the left side.

Framed Florets Water-coloured for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using water coloring techniques. I have used the pretty Framed Florets stamps set to make my card.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the framed florets water-coloured card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Fluid 100 card – 5” by 3¼”

I mounted the sentiment from the Framed Florets stamp set onto the plate of the Stamparatus, inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down on the 2½” by 2½” piece of Fluid 100 card. I repeated this step to get a nice dark image. This was then die-cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

When the StaZon ink was dry I began to watercolour the images, beginning with the leaves. I used my Water Painters to add a little water to the leaves, this helps the ink to flow on the card. I added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the lid of the Granny Apple Green inkpad, loosen the ink with a little water and painted in the leaves.

When the ink was dry I added Soft Sea Foam around the stamped and coloured images, using water to blur the ink giving a faded look. When the panel was completely dry I glued it to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Sweet Sorbet and white Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and the whole piece then added to the Soft Sea Foam card front using the same liquid glue.

Wreath of Blooms

Some lovely ladies gathered at my house yesterday to make the pretty Wreath of Blooms Kit. I love our kits, they are so easy to put together and so easy to customise as well.

 

The colours in this project are:

 

I had made my wreath up beforehand so that I had some idea how it went together. I had also decided to frame mine.

The ladies popped out all the pieces of that made up the flowers and leaves. Using bone folders they shaped the flower petals and stacked them together before adding the centre pieces and the brads to hold them together.

Each leaf was folded down the middle and again shaped with a bone folder and/or fingers.

The yellow flower was created by loosening the fibres with a bone folder before folding in half down the length. It was held together with a strip of Tear ‘n Tape. The flowers were then rolled up using Mini Glue Dots, inserted periodically to hold the flower together.

All of the ladies decided to cover the cardboard wreath using either Jute Twine (from my stash) or lace trim which one lady brought with her. The flowers are leaves were then added to the wreath with Hot Glue to complete the wreath.

One of the ladies decided to frame her wreath and chose a piece of Bloom Where You’re Planted dsp, cut to 9⅛” by 9⅛” to cover the back panel. She adhered the two together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The Wreath was added to the back panel of the shadow box with Hot Glue and the flowers were then added with the frame in place. The decorated piece was inserted into the frame and the back closed.

 

They all looked really lovely. I hope you like them.

The partial die-cutting technique demonstrated for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop using the Blessings of Home stamp set and Flowers of Home Dies by Stampin' Up!

Partially Die Cut Blessings of Home for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing die-cutting. I have chosen to share a partially die cut card featuring the Blessings of Home stamp set.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the blessings of home card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Abigail Rose dsp – 5⅝” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Gold Glimmer card – 5⅜” by approx. 1⅞”
Gold Glimmer card – 5⅝” by ⅜”
Basic Black strip ¼” wide

 

I began by gluing the Abigail Rose designer series paper (dsp) to the Thick Basic White card front – I had to add a strip of Gold Glimmer to the right side as I had managed to cut the dsp slightly to short.

The large floral stamp from the Blessings of Home stamp set was stamped in the middle of the panel of Basic White card in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I placed the co-ordinating die form the Flowers of Home set of dies was then placed over the stamped image and secured in place with a little washi tape. I then placed the top cutting plate half way across right-hand side of the stamped image and ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine, die-cutting only the right side. Using Paper snips, I cut from the top and bottom of the panel until I reached the edge of the die-cut area and dropped the excess in the bin.

I added the larger piece of Gold Glimmer behind the left-side, uncut part of the panel. I cut it down to fit the piece exactly.

The whole piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Petal Pink Blends Pens were used to add a little colour to the largest flower. I blurred the edge of the coloured area with a Color Lifter.

The embossed sentiment was on my desk, left over form another project and was added to the card front. It was originally stamped in Versamark ink, covered in White Embossing Powder and Heat set.
