CAS Colours and Sketches #356

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my project for the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

This time it’s a colour challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here

I wanted to create something different…. And this is it!

I used the Tailored Tag punch to cut shapes from Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Silver Glimmer card stock. These were adhered to a piece of white card stock.

The excess was trimmed away and layered with more glimmer paper before adding to a white card base.

Real Red ink was used to stamp the sentiment which was also cut with the Tailored Tag punch. This was adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Lily Pad Thank You

Hello Everyone,

On first glance, the Lily Impressions designer series paper looks a bit crazy with so many bold colours…. But look how great this card looks!

DSP was adhered to a white card base.

Rich Razzleberry ink was used to stamp the sentiment and water lily images. These were cut with the Stitched So Sweetly and Lily Pad dies. An additional die cut was cut from Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The sentiment was adhered first with dimensionals.

The water lily was coloured by pulling ink from the outline image with a Wink of Stella glitter brush. The die cut outline was adhered over the top and then added to the card.

CAS Colours and Sketches #355

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is my entry for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.

This week there is a sketch to work with. The design team have created some very creative samples that you can see here

As I missed out on the previous week’s colour challenge, I’m throwing this in too just for fun!

And this is what I have designed.

I have used the Daisy Lane bundle from the annual catalogue.

I started by stamping the leaf from the set with Granny Apple Green ink. This panel was added to a white card base with dimensionals.

Daisies were stamped in Seaside Spray ink and punched out. These were adhered along the top of the stamped panel.

The sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration set, Sending you Thoughts. I used Rococo Rose ink and cut these with a Stitched Rectangle die.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Birthday Blooms

Hello Everyone,

I can’t stop using the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set and Small Bloom punch!

Today it’s for a birthday card.

This one is really simple leaving lots of white space.

I added some foliage to the card base with Early Espresso ink.

A white layer was stamped with a sentiment from Peaceful Moments using Shaded Spruce ink. This was adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

Blooms were stamped with Balmy Blue ink and punched out. These were added using multipurpose glue.

The Leaf punch was used to cut leaves from vellum and added around the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Parisian Blossoms 2 Ways

Hello Everyone,

I couldn’t decide on whether to use black or white card bases with this layout, so I made it with both.

Which do you prefer?

I used the usual card and DSP layers to build the card base.

The blossoms were stamped with matching ink on to the same colour card stock for a tone on tone look. Each was adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Pool Party ink on white card stock. For the black card, this was heat embossed with white powder. These were also adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Every Moment

Hello Everyone,

Did you know you can get this pack of patterned paper for FREE during the Sale-a-bration event?

The paper coordinates perfectly with the Honey Bee bundle, add some card stock to make a qualifying purchase of £45.

The paper was adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Memento ink was used to stamp two bees and the sentiment. The coordinating dies were used to cut the bees. The Nested Labels set was used to cut the sentiment. I also cut the honeycomb, which I coloured with a Mango Melody blends marker.

The die cuts were added to the card base with dimensionals. The honeycomb is very delicate, so this was sandwiched between two dimensionals which also secure the sentiment and one of the bees!

More Thoughtful Blooms

Hello Everyone,

I just love this stamp set and punch! There are so many colour combinations I want to try. This combo was suggested by the SU colour challenge Facebook group!

Merry Merlot, Lovely Lipstick, Sahara Sand & Granny Apple Green.

I started with Granny Apple Green, stamping the leaf clusters over some Whisper White card stock.

Merry Merlot was used to add the small flowers to the open stems. The spaces were filled with the tiny elements in the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink.

Lovely Lipstick and Sahara Sand card stock was added to a white card base. The stamped panel was trimmed down and adhered with dimensionals.

The blooms were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and punched out. Champagne rhinestones were added to the centres.

The sentiment was die cut using the Ornate Frames set. This was adhered with dimensionals.

Thank You Blooms

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another card using the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper. This time teamed with the Thoughtful Blooms Sale-a-bration stamp set and matching punch.

The topper is made simply, layering the paper with Cherry Cobbler card stock. This was added to a Petal Pink layer with dimensionals before adhering to a white card base.

Cherry Cobbler ink was used to stamp the sentiment and blooms. Petal Pink ink was added to the flowers to coordinate with the DSP. The sentiment was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly set and the blooms were punched out.

The elements were assembled on to the card front. Champagne rhinestones were added to the flowers to finish.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my project for this week’s CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

This time it’s a sketch challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here

And this is what I created!

This is quite different from my usual makes, but I am very pleased with how it turned out.

The base was made with Basic Black card stock. The Nature’s Thoughts dies were used to cut more black card which was layered with Basic Grey card before adding with dimensionals.

For the topper Basic Grey card stock was cut to size. The sentiment from the Positive Thoughts stamp set was added in black ink.

Other elements from the set were stamped on to Whisper White card stock and die cut.

The pieces were adhered to the card with glue and dimensionals.

Some champagne rhinestones were added to the butterfly for some extra sparkle.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.
