I CASE'd a card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop using the BBQ Master stamp set used with the Stylish Shapes and Perennial Postage dies from Stampin' Up!

CASE Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are CASEing one of our fellow hoppers. CASEing means either copy and share everything or copy and selectively edit. I have chosen to CASE a card designed by the lovely Helen Jennings – I don’t have the set of dies Helen used so have swapped in BBQ Master stamp set instead.

 

Colours used to make my card are:

 

I created the CASE card using the following supplies:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5½” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3½” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Blueberry Bushel and Secret Sea

 

I ran the 5½” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer.

A length of Bordered Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape before the panel was adhered to the Blueberry Bushel card front. I opted not to add the Vellum layer.

On the white stitched squares I stamped the oven glove, one in Poppy Parade, one in Blueberry Bushel and the last in Gorgeous Grape. The stamped squares were then adhered to the Secret Sea squares before they were all added to the card front using Black Dimensionals.

I cut a circle, centrally in the upper half of the larger, scrap piece of Basic White card. I placed the negative piece over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and secured it in place with a little washi tape. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Memento Tuxedo Black ink to the exposed circle. The masking panel was then removed.

I stamped the largest shell, overlapping the inked circle with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The same image was then stamped onto a Post It Note and fussy cut out. I then used it to mask off the stamped shell.

With the mask in place, I stamped the two smaller shells in the same black ink. The mask was then removed.

I chose a sentiment from the Fragrant Layers stamp set, masked off the words I didn’t want with washi tape. The words I did want were then inked with the Black ink, the washi tape was removed and words stamped onto the circle.

Pop Out Accordion Petals of Beauty Card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. The pop out accordion card I am sharing today was made for a friend’s special birthday using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the pop out accordion petals of beauty card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 20cm by 15cm – scored at 5cm, 10cm & 15cm on the long-side
Lost Lagoon card – 14.5cm by 4.5cm x 4
Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 14cm by 4cm x 4

Thick Basic White card – 10cm by 7.5cm – scored at 7.5cm on the long-side
Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 9.5cm by 7cm x 2
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾” x 2
Scrap Basic White & Lost Lagoon card

I adhered the long panels of Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to the slightly larger pieces of Lost Lagoon card. These 4 panels were then glued to the slightly larger Thick Basic White card base which was then folded and burnished in a mountain, valley and mountain shape.

With the larger card base folded up, accordion style I adhered the left-hand side of the decorated panel to the front of the accordion panel, taking care that it would fit in a standard C6 Envelope. I repeated this step to glue the back panel of the pop out portion.

I cut 2 arches from the pieces of Basic White card measuring 3¾” by 2¾” using the Everyday Arches Dies.

On one of the arches, I stamped the sentiment from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink. Using the same ink, I stamped the second sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set on the 2nd arch. The arches were then glued to the pop out portion of the card.

I stamped the outline of a large and a small flower from the Petals of Beauty stamp set with Calypso Coral ink and added the infill colour with Petal Pink ink. These flowers were then cut using the Petals of Beauty Dies. The flowers were then added to the card front.
