The free as a bird stamp set and layered leaves embossing folder makes a lovely birthday card

Free As A Bird for the Global Design Project #188

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card made for the Global Design Project Challenge #188 – CASEing the designer – in this case the super talented Brian King. To make the card I used the Make & Take supplies from the recent OnStage. I am always too busy chatting to make up the projects on the day…….. ho hum..

To recreate the Bird Ballard card

Pool Party card base 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party cardstock 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White 5½” by 3 ¾” – for the inside
Whisper White 4¼” by 2½”
Bird Ballard dsp 4” by 3”
Scrap Poppy Parade for die cutting
Scrap Whisper White for the sentiment

I had stamped the bough of birds in memento Tuxedo Black ink whilst at OnStage; I love this image and can’t wait for my stamp set to arrive. I coloured the image in using the following Blends – Crumb Cake combo, Old Olive combo, Poppy Parade combo, Daffodil Delight combo and the Colour Lifter.

I ran the Pool Party panel through the Big Shot using the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and glued it to the Pool Party card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I ran a strip of Snail in the centre of the embossed panel and added the strip of Vanilla Lace.

I die cut the word ‘wishes’ from the Well Written set of dies three times from scrap Poppy Parade cardstock and glued them one on top of the other to give some dimension to the sentiment. The dies cut piece was then added to the card front with same liquid adhesive.

I have hardly used this gorgeous stamp set, I am so glad it is carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue. I wanted to try out the baby wipe technique and thought this set might work well with the technique.

I began by folding a single baby wipe into a square and placing it in an empty clear mount stamp case. I took the Daffodil Delight re-inker and dropped about 12 – 15 drops randomly onto the baby wipe. I repeated this with the Poppy Parade re-inker and finally with Gorgeous Grape re-inker. The dots of ink should spread and merge together with no un-inked areas

I inked the outline flower stamp on my hand made ink pad and randomly stamped the image onto the Very Vanilla panel. I loved the effect of the multicolour flowers. The stamped layer was then added to the Gorgeous Grape panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped the strip of Vellum around the stamped panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Poppy Parade card front.

I die cut the word ‘birthday’ 3 times from scrap Gorgeous Grape cardstock and adhered the words one on top of the other using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive, this gives great dimension to the word.

I swiped the  Embossing Buddy over the vellum then stamped the word ‘wishes’ in Poppy Parade ink covered it with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The die cut ‘birthday’ was added on top with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used a Mini Glue Dot tucked under the ‘birthday’ to hold the vellum layer down.

I love, love this card, hoping you like it as well.

A Valentine card made for my husband using the Rooted In Nature stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Rooted In Nature non-traditional Valentine Card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the Valentine’s card I made for my husband. It is a non-traditional valentine card as he would hate a lovey dovey, hearts and flowers card.  I used the Rooted In Nature stamp set to make a card featuring leaves and nature which he loves.

Making the non-traditional Valentine card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅞” by 2⅛”. I selected a variety of leaves from the Rooted In Nature stamp set and chose a variety of green inks with which to stamp them, starting with the largest images and filling up the space with the smaller leaves. The inks I used were Shaded Spruce, Old olive, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam, I deliberately overlapped some of the images to give a fuller look.

When the ink was dry I rubbed over the panel with my Embossing Buddy before stamping one of the images again in Versamark ink. I covered the panel with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. So pretty….

I cut a panel of Shaded Spruce at 5⅞” by 2⅜”and adhered it to the back of the stamped and embossed layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I cut a piece of Gold Foil at 5⅞” by ½” and added it to the right hand side of the panel before adhering the whole piece to a Soft Sea Foam card base.

I cut a strip of Vellum 2⅛ by 1” and stamped the word YOU from the Well Said stamp set in Versamark ink, covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I die cut the word LOVE from a scrap of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Well Written framelit dies and my Big Shot. I added the die cut to the vellum using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the vellum panel to the card front with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive hidden behind the words.

I am really happy with this non-traditional Valentine card and I am sure my husband will like it too.

A simple stylish card for the CAS(E) This Sketch #306 challenge

CAS(E) This Sketch – Well Written

Posted on by

I love a good sketch challenge and today I am sharing a card made for the CAS(E) This Sketch #306 challenge.

Making the Card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I placed the panel half in the Lace Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. This folder gives such a gorgeous amount of dimension to the panel. Where the embossing finishes I added a piece of Real Red Cotton Ribbon using Sellotape to stick the ribbon to the back of the panel. I added the panel to a strip of Basic Black cardstock 5⅝” by 1½” to the left hand side of the embossed panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Taking some scrap Basic Black cardstock I ran it through the Big Shot with the ‘thanks’ from the Well Written framelit dies. I added a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to each layer and stacked them up to give the sentiment some dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive………I love this stuff.

I stamped some of the small butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set, stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. I coloured in the butterflies using the Real Red Blends combo and added some Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.

The butterflies were added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the butterfly onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and glued it to the inside of the card and stamped the same butterfly on a Whisper White envelope.
