Masculine Lilypad Lake card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card made using the lilypad Lake stamp set and some masking. The card was inspired by a card made by Ruth at Artful Stampin.

To recreate the masculine Lilypad Lake card you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Crushed Curry – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Very Vanilla – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Very Vanilla

I began by using PostIt notes to mask off an area in the centre of one of the Very Vanilla panel. I inked up the long thin striped image using Bermuda Bay ink and stamped it five or six times from the bottom allowing the layers to overlap. This gives a lovely ombre look. I repeated this step three times to build up the colour.

Using the 1” Circle Punch I punched  a circle from a PostIt note and adhered it to the top of the panel. I inked up the striped stamp again and stamped four or five times up and down from the midline without re-inking using Crushed Curry ink.

With the PostIt masks still in place I inked the edges of the Bermuda Bay striped area with a Stampin Sponge bringing the colour in to the middle. I then used another piece of sponge to add Crushed Curry ink to the top half of the panel. I then removed all the masks to reveal the edges.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the trio of boats and used the following Blends Markers to colour them in – dark Night of Navy, dark Bermuda Bay and dark Cherry Cobbler. I managed to get a small smuge when stamping the boats so drew in a trio of birds to disguise it!

The stamped and inked panel was added to the Crushed Curry layer using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. The layer was then added to the Bermuda bay card front using the same glue.

The sentiment from the Birthday Goodness stamp set was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla and trimmed out with sharp scissors.

The inside and the envelope were decorated using the same stamps. I really like this masculine looking card. I hope you like it.

A Lighthouse at High Tide

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the birthday card made for my lovely son. He loves the sea so the Lighthouse from the High Tide stamp set was perfect for his card.

Making the High Tide card

I began by taking a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅛ by 2” and stamping the ‘ground’ image in 1st and 2nd generation Sahara Sand ink. I then placed the piece of cardstock in my Stamparatus as I find the lighthouse images much easier to line up using this stamping tool. The lighthouse was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and Real Red ink.

The tufts of grass were then added in Mossy Meadow ink and the birds in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The stamped panel was added to a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock measuring 4⅛” by 2⅛”.

Next I stamped the ‘water’ image from the High Tide stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink onto a Balmy Blue card base. I added more birds using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the boats from the Lilypad Lake stamp set onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and die cut them using the Lakeside framelit dies and the Big Shot. The boats were then coloured using Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Real Red and Crumb Cake markers.

The Lighthouse panel was added to the Balmy Blue card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the boats were then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The ‘water’ image was then stamped on a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and a trio of boats were added. This panel was then glued inside the card with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same images were stamped on the front of a Whisper White envelope.

I really, really like this card and I hope my son like sit as well.

Lilypad Lake makes a special double Z fold birthday card

Lilypad Lake for a special birthday

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the card I made for my brother in law’s special birthday. When he and my husband were young men they had a boat and loved to sail so the Lilypad Lake set was perfect for this special card.

Making the card

I started with 2 pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock, one measuring 11” by 5½” and the other measuring 9¼” by 4¼”.  Using my paper trimmer I scored both pieces at 2 ¾” and 5 ½”. I cut 3 panels of Twinkle Twinkle dsp, one at 5¼” by 5¼” and 2 at 5¼” by 2 ½” and glued these to the larger of the Thick Whisper White card base.

I rounded 2 double corners of the smaller Thick Whisper White panel with the Decorative Trio Punch. I then added panels of Poppy Parade cardstock one measuring 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two measuring 3⅞” by 2½” having rounded the same corners.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock 3¾” by 3¼” and stamped the ‘waves’ in Balmy Blue, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation then over the top with Blueberry Bushel ink. I used Daffodil Delight and a sponge dauber to add the ‘sun’. Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock I stamped the 3 boats twice in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut them using the Big Shot and the Lakeside Framelits. These were coloured in using the Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade markers and added to the stamped panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I die cut a few clouds from the Up & Away framelits die set and sponged the edges with Balmy Blue ink before glueing to the panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was then added to the larger Poppy parade panel.

I cut two panels of Whisper White measuring 2 ¾” by 2⅜”. I stamped the same ‘waves’  at the bottom of one of the panels and added the ‘reeds’ which were die cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Lakeside framelits.

I stamped the numbers from the retired Number of Years stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink and die cut them using the Big Shot and the large Number Dies before adding to the remaining Poppy Parade panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The words from the same stamp set were stamped in Poppy Parade ink.

I am really happy with how this card turned out. I hope Rob likes it.

Thinking of you card made using the Lakeside Framelit dies

Lilypad Lake

Posted on by

Today I have been using the Lilypad Lake stamp set and co-ordinating Lakeside framelit dies to make a simple ‘thinking of you’ card.

Making the Lilypad Lake card

I really wanted to combine this stamp set with the Graceful  Glass Vellum dsp. I especially liked the piece with wavy lines which has a real watery feel. I cut a piece 5⅞” by 2” and used the following Blends Alcohol Pens to colour in the image – Dark Pool Party, Light Bermuda Bay, Light & Dark Night of Navy. This was the first time I had used Blends to colour in the vellum and I was surprised how streaky the finished image was. It did work with this watery image though.

After colouring in the vellum I added it to a piece of Whisper White cardstock exactly the same size. To do this I squeezed a little Multipurpose liquid Adhesive onto a Silicon Mat, picked up the glue with a small piece of sponge and swiped it lightly across the Whisper White panel before adhering the vellum panel to it. I added the whole piece to a Thick Whisper White card base.

Taking some scraps of Basic Black cardstock I die cut a heron and some of the clumps of leaves and tucked these in behind the raised panel adhering them with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up part of the sentiment using a Night of Navy cardstock and stamped it down on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock which I then cut to size and flagged one end. It was added to the card front using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Despite the streaky look I actually quite liked this card, let me know what you think.
