A vintage paintbrush themed card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Trusty Tools stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Rustic Tools card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing ‘Vintage’ style projects. I have interpreted this as shabby chic, a style of cardmaking I really struggle with….. I have chosen to use the Trusty Toolbox stamp set to make my rustic tools card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the rustic tools card, you will need:

Copper Clay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Beige card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic Beige card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic Beige card

 

I began by stamping the outline of 3 paintbrushes in Early Espresso ink onto the smaller panel of Basic Beige card. Colour was added to the handle of each brush and the tip of the bristles using, firstly Wild Wheat ink, then Pecan Pie ink and finally Copper Clay ink. I swiped the matching colour below the bristles using the edge of each ink pad.

Using Blending Brushes I inked, with all three colours, around the edges of the panel. I the tore along the bottom and inked the ragged edge to match. I randomly stamped the dotty image, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, in all three colours. I used a Bone Folder in the upper left corner to breakdown the fibres and separate the layers of the cardstock. I inked the corner to match. The whole panel was the adhered to one of the larger Basic Beige panels which had the bottom edge torn.

The Love For You stamp set from Stampin' Up! used to make a boldly dramatic floral birthday card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Love For You card – Crafty-Challenge Blog Hop

 

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge to work with. I have used the Love For You stamp set which will be retiring at the end of April.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Love For You card,  you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Garden Green card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Flirty Flaming card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside

 

I began by die cutting a circle from the square of Flirty Flamingo card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I placed the die cut circle onto the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card, slightly overhanging the right edge. I drew around it with a pencil.

The flowers and leaves from the Love For You stamp set were then stamped, overlapping the pencil circle. The detail of the largest flower was stamped with Berry Burst ink and the solid image adde in Calypso Coral ink.

The smaller flower was stamped with Calypso Coral for the detail and stamped off Crushed Curry for the background. The leaves were stamped with Garden Green ink, the detail in full strength and the background in stamped of ink. The pencil circle was then rubbed out.

I glued the decorated panel to the Garden Green layer and wrapped a length of Garden Green Ribbon around the layer before adhering the whole piece to the Flirty Flamingo card front.

The sentiment, from the Textured Floral stamp set, was stamped onto the die cut Flirty Flaming circle using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. A small piece was trimmed off the right side of the circle and the sentiment was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
