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.

The leaves were then inked in with Garden Green ink. I love how the colour and texture builds when you use the masks, so pretty. The inked image was then die cut using the Layers of Beauty Dies. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A special birthday card made using the beautiful Hot Air Balloon stamp set and co-ordinating dies from Stampin' Up!

Hot Air Birthday card

Today I am sharing a clean and simple card made for my niece’s birthday tomorrow. I have used the lovely Hot Air Balloon stamp set and co-ordinating Dies.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the hot air birthday card, you will need:

Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Lemon Lolly card

 

From scrap Basic White card I die cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using the negative space as a mask, I inked the circle in with Misty Moonlight ink.

The large balloon from the Hot Air Balloon stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I made sure to overlap the inked circle.
