A really simple cookie themed thank you card for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop

Thank You Cookies for the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop where we are sharing the thank you cards made for our customers. You are currently with Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK. This month I have made a thank you cookies card using the lovely Nothing’s Better Than stamp set. Who can resist a cookie?

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the Thank you Cookies card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 3” by 1¾”

 Taking one of the larger panels of Basic White I drew around the inside of one of the Tasteful Label Dies in the centre of the panel. This gave me a frame around which I could stamp the image.

I stamped the image of the cookie onto 2 Post It Notes and cut them out using sharp scissors. I used these as masks when stamping the images.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the first cookie. I placed a mask over the stamped image and stamped again in 2nd generation Early Espresso ink. I continued stamping and masking around the pencil shape.

Using the in-fill stamp I coloured the images in 1st and 2nd generation Crumb Cake ink, masking in the same way. The stamped panel was added to the Crumb Cake card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same glue was used to add the panel to the Crumb Cake card base.

Lovely As a Tree – retiring!

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card made for the latest team challenge – the theme is the retiring list. It will come as no surprise to those of you who know me that I have chosen the Lovely As A Tree stamp set. This was the first stamp set I bought and I have used it many, many times.

To Recreate the Lovely As a tree card you will need;

Lovely Lipstick card base – rounded upper right corner
Basic Black 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Wood Textures dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside – rounded upper right corner
Basic Black – 1⅛” by ¼”
Wood Textures dsp 6” by ¼” x 2

I masked off an area of the Wood Textures dsp using Postit Notes. I opened the Daffodil Delight ink pad and pressed it onto a clear block and added a drop of glycerine. I mixed the ink and the glycerine together with a Sponge Dauber; I find the ink goes onto the paper much more smoothly with the addition of the glycerine.

Starting off the dsp I sponged the ink onto the masked off area and repeated the same steps with the Grapefruit Grove ink and the Lovely Lipstick ink. I overlapped the inks to help with the blending.

I love peeling away the Postit’s and revealing the inked area – always a real WOW.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the gorgeous ‘pine tree’ from the Lovely As A Tree Stamp set. I knew I wanted a really dark image and it is much easier to achieve this with the Stamparatus as you can re-stamp the image as often as you need to.

The stamped layer was then added to the Basic Black panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set was stamped in Versamark onto the strip of Basic Black cardstock, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The strip was glued to the stamped panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the over-hanging edges trimmed off.

I added a Linen Thread bow to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot and finished off with a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.
