To recreate the regal world card, you will need:

Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”

Scrap Basic White and Old Olive card

 

I mounted the large Watercolor World stamp onto one of the Stamparatus plates.

Using the Regals Stamp ‘n Write Markers to add colour directly to the stamp. I used Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Shaded Spruce and Rich Razzleberry and added the colours one at a time.

Tuscan Cypress Trees for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are expressing our gratitude with thank you cards. Mine is inspired by a card made by my upline, the lovely Mikaela Titheridge using the Thanks A Bunch stamp set.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Tuscan Cypress card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner

I stamped some dotage in the upper left and lower right of the Balmy Blue panel but didn’t really like it. I then ran the panel through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I liked this better. I wrapped a piece of Variegated Ribbon around the panel before gluing it to the Balmy Blue card front and adding the stamped panel over top on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Beautifully Happy stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto scrap Basic White card and was then punched out using the Double Oval Punch. I punched a slightly larger scalloped oval using the same punch and scrap Night of Navy card. I glued the two together and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

4 Christmas cards made for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop using the Leaves of Holly stamp set by Stampin' Up! and the one sheet wonder technique

Holly Leaves for the Ink. Stamp Share Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on. I have chosen to share a batch of holly leaves card made using the Leaves of Holly stamp set.

 

Colours used in these projects are:

 

To recreate the 4 cards holly leaves cards, you will need:

4 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – I used Cherry Cobbler and Evening Evergreen
Layering pieces – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – 3 pieces – I chose Cherry Cobbler, Mint Macaron & Shaded Spruce
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” x 3
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 5 – 4 for the inside and one for the outside.
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using a circle from the Layering Circles Dies, I die cut 4 circles from the scrap Basic White card. I stamped the sentiment, from the Leaves of Holly stamp set in Evening Evergreen ink in the centre of each circle.

I used the same size die, placed it onto the 4 card fronts, drew around the inside to help me position the stamping.

The largest holly leaf was stamped over-lapping the pencil circle, the detailed image in Evening Evergreen and the infill image in Soft Succulent. The smaller holly leaf was then stamped in Shaded Spruce with the infill in Mint Macaron ink.

The berries were added next, the outline in Blackberry Bliss and the in-fill in Real Red ink. To fill out the foliage I stamped the sprig from the Christmas Season stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink.

Two of the panels were then embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. One was added directly to a card front and the other mounted onto a co-ordinating layer before being glued to the card front. The remaining stamped panels were then glued to the remaining layers. 3 of the cards had a length of ribbon from my stash wrapped around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape.

I stamped the sprig image in Pear Pizzazz ink onto some of the sentiment circles and added them to the card front with either liquid glue or Dimensionals. I added a trio of Brushed Metallic Dots to complete the cards.
