Tools Card

I made this card a while ago for a colour challenge Blog Hop and completely forgot to upload the post to my blog……..duh! When I saw the colours of the challenge, my immediate thought was ‘masculine’ and I have made my card using the Trusty Tools stamp set and dies.

I punched a hexagon label from the smallest piece of Basic White card using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The punched label was placed onto the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card and lightly drew around it with a pencil. This helps to position the images I planned to stamp next.

The tool images were stamped around the label with Smoky Slate ink. I added colour with the infill stamps using Pumpkin Pie, Blueberry Bushel, Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate ink.

Using a Light Smoky Slate Blends Pen I added a little colour to the metal part of the tools. The decorated layer was glued to the Smoky slate panel and then I added it to the Mossy Meadow card front on Dimensionals.

From the scrap Smoky Slate, Blueberry Bushel, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie card I die cut the small nuts and bolts and scattered them across the card front.  A trio of Smoky Slate Pearls finished the card.

A pretty Christmas card made using the Bauble Blooms Stamp set and the Glass & Garden Embossing Folders from Stampin' Up!

Floral Bauble Card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are working with a colour challenge to create Christmas cards. I have used the new Bauble Blooms stamp set and dies to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the floral bauble card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5½” by 3¾”
Cloud Cover card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Cloud Cover & Secret Sea

 

Using the Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder I embossed the left-hand side of the Cloud Cover panel and adhered it to the Secret Sea Panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

The detailed floral image from the Bauble Blooms stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Secret Sea ink. The infill flower image was then stamped in Strawberry Slush ink. The leaves were added with Summer Splash ink. I die cut the bauble using the Bauble Blooms Dies.

From scrap Cloud Cover card, I die cut the bauble top and added it to the top of the die cut bauble. I cut a thin sliver of Secret Sea card and adhered it to the card front. The bauble was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Secret Sea card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I trimmed out the words and added them to the card front.
