Ombre Grassy Grove for Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Ombre Blog Hop where I have used the gorgeous Grassy Grove stamp set to show off an ombre starry sky.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the ombre grassy grove card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Starry Sky card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner

 

Using Blending Brushes, I added ink to the smaller Basic White panel. I started with Balmy Blue, moved onto Tahitian Tide, then Starry Sky and finally Night of Navy. Gorgeous.

The inked panel was then placed in the Stamparatus and I stamped the ground, trees and deer in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Stamparatus so that I could stamp each image multiple times to get the images really, really black.

I added some highlights to the deer with a Chalk Marker.

The grass was stamped in Granny Apple Green and the ground in Sahara Sand. We used the dotty image to add texture to the ground.

Using the Horizon Dies we cut out trees from scrap Garden Green. The grasses were cut from scrap Granny Apple Green card and the fence from scrap Basic White.

We added texture to the die cut grass using the grass image from the On The Horizon stamp set and Garden Green ink. The white die cut fence was stamped with the wood plank image.

The die cuts were then added to the stamped panel. The whole layer was added to the Garden Green panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Balmy Blue card base on Dimensionals.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the woody anniversary card, you will need:

Calypso Coral card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Early Espresso card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card– 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Calypso Coral

I took one of the basic white panels, added a circle punched from a Post It Note using a 1” Circle Punch and added it to the top. Then added ink using Blending Brushes. I started with Pale Papaya, adding it about half way up from the bottom.

I removed the Post It Note to reveal the ‘moon’ and stamped the gorgeous tree trunks in Early Espresso ink. I added the shadows beneath the trees in 2nd generation Early Espresso ink. The inked panel was adhered to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped Linen thread around the panel three times before adding the panel to the Calypso Coral card base on Dimensionals.

A special birthday funfold card made using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Beauty of Friendship fun fold card

Posted on by

Here is a Beauty of Friendship fun fold card made for my daughter Camilla’s birthday. I saw LeeAnn Greff, a fellow demonstrator, demonstrate it on YouTube and I knew this was the perfect card for her as she loves the outdoors. I changed the dimensions to fit A4 card stock and also some of the colours.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the beauty of friendship card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card – 6½“ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Soft Succulent card – 3½” by 3” scored at ½” on the short side
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 3⅜” by 2½”
Soft Succulent card – 3” by 2½”
Basic White 2¼” by 2”
Scrap of Balmy Blue

I took the 2 scored pieces Soft Succulent, laid them on my work surface with the smaller panel on the right-hand side. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I adhered the ½” tab of the smaller piece to the larger panel.  You should then have a gate fold type card with a long thin left panel and a shorter, wider right-hand panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for a special birthday card

I place the 3 largest panels of Basic White card stock onto my work surface. I punched a circle from a Post It Note using the ¾” Circle Punch and placed it in the upper left-hand corner of the smallest panel.

Using a Blending Brush I added Soft Sea Foam ink to all three of the panels. The ink was added gradually in circular motions, building up the colour slowly. I then added Soft Succulent ink around the edges of each panel in the same way.

The bare trees were then stamped in Soft Suede ink, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation to give the effect of depth.

I added the ‘tree canopy’ image to the stamped full-strength tree on the smallest panel. I used the soft succulent ink and the spotty image to add some texture to all the panels

.

The stamped panels were then glued to the Soft Succulent card. The largest one on the inside, covering the ½” tab which holds them together.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a label from the remaining Soft Succulent piece and a smaller label from the Basic White piece.

The sentiment from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set was stamped on the white label in Soft Succulent ink and I added a couple of small flowers in the same ink. The flowers were from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set.

The labels were then glued together. They were added to the left-hand panel of the card with a couple of Dimensionals. Make sure that the Dimensionals are well over to the left and that the right-hand panel of the card can tuck under.

To complete the card, I die cut 2 of the sweet little birds from the Beautiful Trees dies from scrap Balmy Blue card and added them to the card front. I used a Black Stampin’ Write Marker to add their eyes and a trio of Genial Gems.

The colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the rainbow trees card, you will need:

Bermuda Bay – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic Black – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner

Scrap Basic Black

I placed one of the Basic White card panels onto the base of the Stamparatus, lined up the bare tree and stamped the trees using the hinge step method.

The stamped panel was added to the Basic Black layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped some White Bakers Twine around the panel and tied it in a bow. The panel was added to the Bermuda Bay card base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment was from my stash. It came from the Many Messages stamp set and had been stamped in Versamark ink onto a panel of Basic Black, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. It was die cut using the Messages Dies and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Misty Trees

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a pretty Christmas card featuring misty trees made using the In The Pines stamp set and Pine Woods Dies.

To recreate the misty trees card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Silver Foil -4½” by 3½” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Shaded Spruce – 4¼” by 3¼” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4” by 3” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded Upper Left corner – for the inside
Soft Sea Foam & Whisper White

I stamped the row of trees across the smaller Whisper White panel in Misty Moonlight ink. I used first and second generation in, i.e. full strength and stamped off once. I added the ‘ground’ image in the same ink. Using a wedge of Sponge, I lightly added Misty Moonlight ink over the panel to suggest a misty day.

My Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine was used to die cut 3 of the tall trees. The Soft Sea Foam tree was cut from scrap card. The Shaded Spruce and Silver Foil trees were cut from the middle of the 2 layering pieces – no-one will ever know……

Using the snow image and Misty Moonlight ink I stamped around the edge of the Misty Moonlight card base before adding the topper piece to the card front with the liquid glue.
