Playing in the Rain Slider card for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing Magic Slider cards. I have to admit I have never made one of these so resorted to YouTube for a bit of inspiration. After watching a few video’s I decided to have a go using the Playing in the Rain stamp set.

 Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the playing in the rain card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Window Sheet – 5½” by 3¾”
Rain or Shine dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3⅜”
Scrap Basic Black

 

I began by using one of the Rectangle Stitched Dies to cut the centre out of the panel of Rain or Shine dsp. I set it aside.

I set up the cute bunny stamp from the Playing In The Rain stamp set on one of my Stamparatus Plates. The Window Sheet panel was added to the base of the Stamparatus, the image inked up with StaZon Jet Black and stamped onto the Window Sheet. I then set it aside to dry.

I placed the 5½” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card onto the Stamparatus, inked the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down. I added the clouds using the same ink. Using the Stamparatus means that I can be sure that the images are in exactly the same place on both the Basic White card and the Window Sheet.

Using the following Blends Alcohol Pens I coloured in the image stamped on the Basic White panels – Balmy Blue, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade. Using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink I added some colour around the stamped image.

When the Window Sheet was dry I placed strips of Tear ‘n Tape on the back of the dsp frame on all 4 sides and added the frame over the Window Sheet.

Foam Adhesive Strips were added along both sides of the decorated Basic White panel, as close to the edges as possible. A strip of Foam Adhesive was also placed about ¼” from the bottom to act as a stopper. The frame with the Window Sheet was then added over-top.

A hole was punched at the top of the 5¼” by 3⅜” panel of Basic White card and a length of Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon was inserted to act as a pull tab. The panel of Basic White card was then slipped down the gap between the coloured panel and the Window Sheet.

The sentiment from the Share a Milkshake stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and Heat set. I trimmed it out with Scissors before adding it to the card front.

I learnt a lot while putting this card together and will definitely be trying another one.

A special floral planter Mother's Day card shared in the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop and made using the Dainty Delight dies by Stampin' Up!

Mother’s Day Floral Planter – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a photo/colour challenge. A soon as I saw the colours, I thought they would make a fantastic floral Mother’s Day card, so that is what I made. This floral planter was inspired by a project made by Bronwyn Eastley of Addinktive Designs.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

 

To recreate the Mother’s Day card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 11¾” by 3” scored on the long-side at 2¾”, 5½”, 8¼” & 11½”
Thick Basic White card – 3½” by 1“x 2 scored at ¼” on each end.
Scrap Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Polished Pink, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green

 

Using one of the dies from the Something Fancy Dies set, I cut a piece from all 4 sides along the bottom, this created the ‘legs’ for my planter. The whole piece was then embossed using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. I embossed it one end at a time. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the tab to the side f the box, forming a square ‘planter’ with legs.

Partially Die Cut Blessings of Home for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects showcasing die-cutting. I have chosen to share a partially die cut card featuring the Blessings of Home stamp set.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the blessings of home card, you will need:

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

Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Gold Glimmer card – 5⅜” by approx. 1⅞”
Gold Glimmer card – 5⅝” by ⅜”

I began by gluing the Abigail Rose designer series paper (dsp) to the Thick Basic White card front – I had to add a strip of Gold Glimmer to the right side as I had managed to cut the dsp slightly to short.

I placed the co-ordinating die form the Flowers of Home set of dies was then placed over the stamped image and secured in place with a little washi tape. I then placed the top cutting plate half way across right-hand side of the stamped image and ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine, die-cutting only the right side. Using Paper snips, I cut from the top and bottom of the panel until I reached the edge of the die-cut area and dropped the excess in the bin.

A double Z fold card with a running theme made for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop using the Enjoy the Journey dsp by Stampin' Up!

Enjoy the Run Double Z Fold card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share the enjoy the run birthday card made for my husband’s upcoming birthday using the Enjoy the Day designer series paper. He is a keen ultra-runner and loves to run in 30 – 100-mile events – so this dsp and the co-ordinating Greatest Journey Dies were perfect for his birthday card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the enjoy the run card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 11” by 5½” – scored at 2¾” and 5½”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 5⅜”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 5¼” by 5¼”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 2⅝”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 5¼” by 5¼”

Thick Basic White inner card base – 9¼” by 4¼”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 4⅛” by 3⅝”
Enjoy the Journey dsp – 4⅛” by 2⅝”
Scrap Basic White and Basic Black
Basic White card – 5¼” by 5¼”

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid adhesive I glued the larger pieces of designer series paper (dsp)  – I used the starry sky patten – to the slightly larger panels of Basic White card. The panels were then glued to the Starry Sky card base.

I die cut 3 or 4 of the ‘ground’ strips from scrap Basic Black card and laid them out along the bottom of the 3 smaller panels of dsp – I used the green mountains and trees pattern – I moved them around until I got the look of a connected strip of ground.

I die cut a number of ‘runners’ from scrap Basic Black card and added then to the scene with liquid glue.

The white inner card base was the positioned onto the Starry Sky card base and the front panel of both adhered together, making sure to only add glue to the left side of the Basic White piece.
