Caring Leaves card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing colouring techniques. I have chosen to make my card using the Caring Leaves stamp set and ink refills and the baby wipe technique, one of my favourite colouring techniques.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the caring leaves card, you will need:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gold Foil card – 5⅛” by 3½”
Early Espresso card – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Cherry Cobbler card – 4⅛” by ¾”

 

I began by making up my ‘ink pad’ using a couple of baby wipes and 3 or 4 drops of the following re-inkers – Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Pecan Pie.

The sketchy outer images of each stamp were added over each leaf using Early Espresso ink. The panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel and then to the panel of Gold Foil. The whole piece was adhered to the Garden Green card base.

Using the Greetings of the Season Dies I die cut a label from the strip of Cherry Cobbler card. I ran it through twice as I wanted it shorter with a flagged banner at each end.

Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

Colours in this card are:

 

 

To recreate the Fall goodies card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 4”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾”
Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5” by 1“scored at ½”,1” and 1½” at each end

 

The panel of Perennial Lavender dsp was adhered to the 5⅝” by 4” piece of Basic White card which was then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card front.

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

I placed the dsp strips down over the pencil drawn leaf shape, moving them around until I got the colour palette I liked. I then glued them into position butted up tightly together. I made sure to cut off the excess as I didn’t want the strips poking out when the top panel was in position.

An Autumnal Flowers thank you card made for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Autumnal Flowers card – Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Giving Thanks Blog Hop. There are so many things I am thankful for: my lovely family, my friends, the friendly village I live in and lots more. I have made an Autumnal flowers card for one of my lovely friends using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set and some seasonal colours.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Autumnal flowers card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Mossy Meadow card

 

I stamped the cluster of flowers all over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card in Early Espresso ink. I also stamped the same image in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the upper left and lower right corners of the Soft Sea Foam card front.

Using Blends Pens I coloured in the images. The large flower was coloured with light and dark Pumpkin Pie with a little dark Cajun Craze. The medium flower was coloured with light and dark Wild Wheat and the final flower with light and dark Cherry Cobbler. The centres were coloured with the darkest natural tones blends or pecan pie blends. The cherry cobbler flower centre was coloured with dark Soft Sea Foam.

The leaves were coloured in using light and dark Mossy Meadow Blends. Using all the light Soft Sea Foam I coloured in all the remaining white space, it looked too bright against the rich colours of the flowers.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Mossy Meadow layer. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the panel, twice before it was adhered to the Soft Sea Foam card front with Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Mossy Meadow card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. Using one of the labels from the Changing Leaves Dies I die cut the sentiment. I ran it through twice as I wanted the label to be shorter. The sentiment was then added to the card front.

A pretty Autumnal Toadstools card made for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set and the Nested Essentials Dies from Stampin' Up!

Autumnal Toadstools – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired to create using a Tic Tac Toe board. I have chosen to use the Fall, Fun-fold and Ribbon line and have used the Inspirational Sketches stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Autumnal toadstools card, you will need:

Early Espresso card base – 7⅛” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Early Espresso card – 4⅛” by 1¼”
Basic Beige – 4” by 1⅛” x 2
Country Woods dsp – 3⅞” by 1” x 2
Poppy Parade card – 5¼” by 3¼” x 2
Basic Beige – 5” by 3“
Basic Beige – 5¾” by 4” – for the inside

 

The strips of Country Woods dsp were adhered to the strips of Basic Beige card. These were then glued to the top ¼” flap of the card front and to the strip Early Espresso card and set them aside.

The group of toadstools were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the piece of Basic Beige card measuring 5” by 3“. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the image – Pretty in Pink, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. I also used a white gel pen from my stash to add the white dots to the toadstool caps.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. I also die cut two slightly larger labels from the panels of Poppy Parade card; one was adhered to the back of the coloured panel.

The 1¼” piece of Early Espresso card with the added Basic Beige and dsp panel was lined up with the bottom edge and sides of the card base, I held it in position with a little removable adhesive from my stash. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was applied to the back of the die cut and decorated label, on the top and bottom only and the label was added it to top and bottom strips of the card front.

The Basic Beige panel for the inside was glued in position and the sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink where it would be hidden behind the floating label. I also stamped the hashed image in Early Espresso ink.

To make the back of the card front look a little neater I glued the 2nd Poppy Parade label to the back. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the label and tied in a bow. A trio of Earth Tones Shimmer Gems finished the card.
