Cocktail themed cards made for my June classes using the Cheers & Sips stamp set and dies, the Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and the Textured Notes dies from Stampin' Up!

Cheers & Sips Classes – Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have made. I have chosen to share the cards I designed for my June classes using the Cheers & Sips stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

General supplies

¼ sheet of Basic White card
Scrap Secret Sea card

 

To start each attendee had a ¼ sheet of Basic White card and used Blending Brushes to add stripes of colour to the card. We started with Darling Duckling, then Timid Tiger, Melon Mambo and finally Summer Splash. We overlapped some of the colours to give other colours and tones.

Onto this panel we stamped 3 small glasses, 2 large glasses and 3 umbrella tops using Secret Sea ink and die cut the images using the Cheers and Sips Dies. The embossing die was used to emboss one of the tall glasses.

 

From the scrap Secret Sea card we die cut 3 handles for the umbrella.

Thankful Garden Class Projects

Posted on by

Today I am sharing the cards designed for my April classes using the gorgeous Thankful Garden stamp set, Dies and Masks.

The colours used to make these projects are:

 

Diagonal Open Front card

Soft Sea Foam card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Mark at 2¼” along the top of the card, cut from the mark to the lower right corner
Blueberry Bushel – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White – 4 ¾” by 3⅛”

This card was inspired by Tina Bickford, the Tatted Stamper 

The off cut from the card front was embossed before adhering it along the bottom of the card front. We then stamped the large hydrangea onto the side and top of the card front in Soft Sea Foam ink to add texture.
