Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite Stampin’ Up! Products. So much to choose from – eventually I settled on our fabulous Stamparatus and decided to showcase the mirror technique and make a sweet mirrored campervan card for a friend’s anniversary.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the mirrored campervan card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 5 ½” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

 

I mounted the campervan image on the Stamparatus plate and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the smaller panel of Basic White card.  I moved the plate along 2 hinge steps, placed the Silicon Mat on top of the stamped image, inked up and stamped onto the Silicon Mat. I repeated this step to get a darker image.

 

The Silicon Mat was turned over, lined up next to the original stamped image inked side down. I then stamped the image down on the back of the Silicon Mat to provide the pressure to imprint the image. Lifted the Silicon Mat and voila we had a mirror image!

 

The heart from the Sweet Conversations stamp set was stamped, between the 2 campervans, in Real Red ink. Using the following Blends, I coloured the images in – Polished Pink, Balmy Blue, So Saffron, Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Basic Black & the Color Lifter.

 

Using the Light Smoky Slate Blends pen, I coloured a length of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and wrapped it around the stamped panel. The panel was then adhered to the Balmy Blue layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then added to the Polished Pink card base on Dimensionals.

 

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Seasonal Labels Dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

 

To complete the card, I added a bow using the same-coloured Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and a trio of Classic Matte Dots.
