This adorable snowman that-a-way card was inspired by a video made by the Tatted Stamper showcasing the ‘that-a-way’ fun fold and I just had to try it using the pretty snowman from the Festive Friends stamp set.

Here is a pretty card inspired by Lorraine Tierney  using the gorgeous Scenic Adventures stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the mountain view card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”

The remaining negative panel was placed in the centre of the Thick Basic card front. Using a pencil, I marked the position of all 4 corners. This will guide me when I start stamping.

Trick or Treat Card – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are making ‘trick or treat’ cards using the Twisted in Time stamp set and the Thoughtful Journey dsp.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the trick or treat card, you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Thoughtful Journey dsp – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 4⅛” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

 

The twisted tree image was stamped in Secret Sea ink onto the panel of Thoughtful Journey dsp. I used a stamp positioner because I wanted to stamp the image multiple times to get a darker image, but you can just ink it very well and use an E block.

The leafy canopy was then added with Secret Sea ink. I used a Blender Pen to colour each leaf with Whisper White ink. All the leaves were coloured once; others were coloured multiple times to give added texture.

Using Blending Brushes I added Misty Moonlight ink to the edges of the stamped dsp. Next, I added Night of Navy ink to build up the depth of colour. Finally, I added Secret Sea ink to all 4 corners.

A little water was added to the Whisper White ink in the lid of the ink pad. The watery ink was then flicked onto the inked panel using a paint brush. The whole panel was then glued to the 5⅛” by 3⅜” piece of Basic White card. I mounted it to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Throughout the Year stamp set was stamped onto the strip of Basic White card with Night of Navy ink. I used washi tape to mask of the words and stamped each word in turn. I flagged the ends of the strip and added it to the card front.

A pretty Christmas card made using the Ornamental Christmas and Pine Tree Trimmings stamp sets from Stampin' Up! and a masking technique

Masked Trees Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using the masking technique. I have made my card using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set.

Colours used to make my card are:

 

To recreate the masked trees card, you will need:

Summer Splash card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3”
Secret Sea card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

I stamped the tree in the centre of the 5⅞” by 3” panel of Basic White card using Secret Sea ink. The same image was stamped onto the Masking Paper using the same ink. I fussy cut the mask out rather than die cutting it as the mask needed to be cut along the stamped line.
