A pretty thank you card made using the The Spring Corners dies and stamp set, Embossing paste and re-inkers from Stampin' Up!

Embossed Spring Corner card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday where we are showcasing projects made using Embossing Paste. I have chosen to make my card using the pretty Spring Corners stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card:

 

To recreate embossed Spring corners card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Granny Apple Green card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using the Spring Corners Dies, I die cut the detailed floral image in 2 corners, one at the top and one at the bottom of one of the 5” by 3¼” panels of Basic White card. I laid the die cut panel over the second panel of the same size, taping then together to stop them moving around.

Using Washi tape I covered all the leaves on the die cut image leaving the flowers and flower centres exposed.

I scooped a little Embossing Paste onto my Silicon Mat using one of my Palette Knives. I added a small drop of Melon Mambo re-inker to the paste and mixed it thoroughly with the palette knife. I carefully smeared the coloured embossing paste onto the flower petals taking care to avoid the flower centres. I set the piece aside to allow the Embossing Paste to dry.

When the pink paste had dried, I added another scoop of paste to the Silicon Mat and mixed in a little Lemon lolly re-inker. This was then carefully smeared over the flower centres before setting it aside to dry.

Once the flowers were completely dry – about 30mins later I peeled up the top layer. I flipped the panel around and re-positioned the clean negative die cut flower over the embossed flowers. I mixed a little Granny Apple Green re-inker to a little Embossing Paste and smeared it over the leaves and set this aside to dry before removing the top panel.

Darling Dinos card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch. I have made my card using the adorable Darling Dinos stamp set and Dies.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the darling dinos card, you will need:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Country Woods dsp – 4⅝” by 3¾”
Peach Pie card – 3¾” by ⅜” x 2
Basic White card – 4½” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Lost Lagoon card

 

To the top and bottom of the panel of Country Woods dsp, I adhered the strips of Peach Pie card leaving about ⅛” of the card showing. I then tore about 1½” off the bottom of the dsp and set the pieces to one side.

From the piece of Basic White card measuring 4½” by 3”, I die cut a label using the Countryside Corners Dies.

With Granny Apple Green ink, I stamped the ‘grass’ all along the bottom of the label in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation ink. A Blending Brush and Pool Party ink were used to add colour to the top of the label. The speckles were added to give texture using a stamp from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and the same Pool Party ink.

I added the leaves, from the Heart Shaped stamp set in Granny Apple Green at the top of the panel.

The sweet dinosaurs were stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card, die cut using the Darling Dinosaur Dies and coloured using Blends Pens – Pool Party and Lost Lagoon for one and Peach Pie and Cajun Craze for the other. These were glued to the label.

At this point I placed the pieces of dsp onto the card front, moving them until I was happy with the position. I then added the decorated label on top with Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. A piece of White Baker’s Twine was fed through, under the label and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the card front.
