Sweet Hearts for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing ideas for Valentine’s Day cards. I have made my card using the Sweet Heart dies.

The colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the sweet hearts card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Crumb Cake card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Pool Party, Real Red and Highland Heather

 

I began by embossing the Crumb Cake panel using Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Speciality Plate and the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. This panel was then mounted on the Crumb Cake card front on Dimensionals.

I then stacked the small die cut hearts of the same colour, one on top of the other, three deep, adhering them together with liquid glue before adding them inside the negative strip. They rose a little above the negative strip giving some dimension.

I squeezed a bit of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the corner of my Silicon Mat, picked it up with a sponge dauber and dabbed it all over the greenhouse frame.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

 

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

The sentiment, from the Kite Delight was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want prior to inking it up. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front using liquid glue and a Dimensional.

Hello and welcome to the first Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop of 2022. Our theme is ‘Mixing the Old with the New’. I have chosen to use the to make a girl in the window thank you card using the new In the Moments stamp set and the old Party Patterns dsp for a bit of paper piecing.

Colours used in this project are:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Party Patterns dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Misty Moonlight card – 3⅝” by 3⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 3½” by 3” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 2” by 1”

Using scissors, I flagged the end of the long strip of Party Patterns dsp and added it to the Pale papaya card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The image was stamped again onto the 2 pieces of Party Patterns dsp and I fussy cut the trousers from one pattern and the top from the other pattern. Using the same liquid glue, I glued the top and trousers onto the image stamped on the Basic White panel.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in the image – Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya, Crumb Cake & Ivory. The stamped panel was then glued to the Misty Moonlight layer and added to the card front using Dimensionals.

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink.  I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment came from the Kite Delight stamp set ad was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down with scissors before being added to the card using liquid glue.

I hope you like the card.
