Blended Hand-penned Birthday card for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

It is time again for our monthly Ink & Inspirations blog hop and our theme this month is ‘Sweet Suite’. So many lovely suites to chose from…….…. such a hard decision. Eventually I settled on the Hand-penned Suite and made a simple blended hand-penned birthday card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Blended Hand-Penned birthday card, you will need:

Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Highland Heather – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – Rounded upper left corner
Hand-Penned dsp – 4 ½” by 2”
Scrap Basic White

I used Highland Heather ink to stamp the sentiment onto one of the panels of Basic White card.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped piece to the Highland Heather layer and using the same glue mounted the panel to the Mint Macaron card base.

I accidently used a retired tag topper punch to shape the top of the gorgeous piece of Hand-penned dsp – a senior moment I fear …….. you could use either the Fancy Tag Topper Punch or the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

I added a piece of the Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon to the top of the tag and added it, at an angle to the card front.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the lovely floral spray onto scrap Basic White card and coloured it in using the Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and Flirty Flamingo Blends Markers.

The coloured piece was added on Dimensionals to the card front. To finish the card, I added a trio of Genial Gems.

Such a pretty card, I hope you like it. Please hop on to see what my fellow demonstrators have to share with us today.

Picture Perfect Birthday for a Bookmark Challenge

Posted on by

Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set makes lovely bookmarks ready to be inserted into the Spring/Summer Catalogues. I made the bookmark/tag as part of a business challenge set by my lovely upline Mikaela. This stamp set will be available in the new Spring/Summer 2018 catalogue from the 3rd January 2018.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5½” by 2”. I punched one end of the cardstock using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch before stamping the sentiment using Momento Tuxedo Black ink towards the bottom of the tag. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig Stamp Positioning Tool to make sure I got it straight……always a challenge for me!

Business card and tag idea

I mounted the ‘bow’ image onto an Acrylic Block B and the ‘bow shadow’ image onto another Acrylic Block B and began stamping from the bottom up to the top using the following ink colours: Peakaboo Peach, Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Berry Burst, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzelberry, Lemon Lime Twist. I inked up each colour, stamped it off onto my Grid Paper then stamped the 2nd generation ink onto the bookmark – every colour that is with the exception of the Berry Burst where I forgot…..ooops.

I inked the ‘bow shadow’ image in the same ink and stamped it full strength to give some dimension to the image. I really liked the soft colours for this book mark.

Multicoloured Bookmark business card idea

To finish I cut a piece of Berry Burst cardstock and a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock to 5½” by 2” and punched one end of each using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I adhered the Daffodil Delight tag to the back of the stamped piece, slightly off set, using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The Berry Burst piece was then added in the same way and off set to the other side. I then glued on a business card with my details on it. I added a piece of Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon through the hole at the top and tied it together with a bow made from the Silver ⅛” Ribbon.

Happy with they way this turned out, now to make lots more ready to insert into my new catalogues when they arrive.
