Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”

The large outline leaf image was then stamped over the inked strip using Blackberry Bliss ink. I hindsight I wish I had used Black ink for a more defined look.

An orange themed card made using the gorgeous Tractor & Co stamp set from Stampin' Up! used for a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

Abundance of Pumpkins Card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are working with a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. I have chosen a diagonal line featuring ‘orange, layers and torn’. Now orange is a colour I rarely use so this challenge was way out of my comfort zone. I made my card using the adorable Tractor & Co bundle to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the abundance of pumpkins card, you will need:

Cajun Craze card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Timid Tiger card – 5⅞” by 2¼”

Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

I tore the long edges of the 5⅞” by 2¼” piece of Timid Tiger and the 5⅞” by 1¼” piece of Basic White card. Using a Sponge Dauber I added Cajun Craze ink to the torn edge of the Timid Tiger piece and then adhered the two pieces together. The whole piece was trimmed down to 5¾” before it was glued to the Cajun Craze card base.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in 5 Iridescent Pearls and added them to the card front – Darling Duckling (we have no Crushed Curry Blend), Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Blueberry Bushel and Shaded Spruce. These were then scattered around the leaves on the card front.

Striped Abloom Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects made using paper strips. I have made my card using the Mediterranean Blooms and Country Lace designer series paper (dsp) with the Everyday Arches Dies.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the striped abloom card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Night of Navy card -5¼” by 4”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¾”
Mediterranean Blooms dsp – ⅜” strips of different lengths
Country Lace dsp – ⅜” strips of different lengths
Night of Navy card – 2” by ⅜”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I began by applying a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the panel of Basic White card measuring 5” by 3¾”. Starting in the centre I added the strips of dsp, at an angle to the panel, butting the strips up against each other.

When the sheet was fully covered, I used the third largest die from the Everyday Arches to die cut an arch. The next size up die was used to cut an arch from the Night of Navy card. The two arches were then glued together and added to the Thick Basic White card front with glue.

With Night of Navy ink, I stamped the flower centre and added shape to the flower using a Bone Folder. The flower was added to the card front on a Dimensional. I cut the leafy sprig apart and added the leaves on either side of the flower.

The sentiment, from the Loveliest Tree stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Night of Navy card, covered it with White Embossing Powder which I set with my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
