So Much to Love

Hello Everyone,

Today I am using die cuts to create a faux embossed look.

The die I have used for the background is from the Wild Rose set. It was cut 4 times and adhered to the card evenly spaced. The overhanging pieces were then trimmed away.

I picked out a sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set. This was heat embossed with silver powder and cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

I didn’t like the sentiment on the card as it was, so I added a layer of vellum behind it which looked much better.

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.

Free as a Bird Thank You card

Hello Everyone,

So I admit it…. I have been avoiding using this set. At launch there were so many lovely things being made with this set, but now I want to share a card with you.

It’s nothing fancy but like how it turned out.

I started with main image which I stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used a reference image to make my birds in to bluetits.

I die cut the image with a Nested Die and also cut the small thank you sentiment.

Leaves were stamped and coloured on a card layer before adhering the birds with dimensionals.

Inspire.Create #049

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

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

And this is what I created!

I prepared a Basic Grey card base and added a white card layer.

A smaller layer was used to stamp a background with Pool Party Ink using the Verdant Garden stamp set. This was matted on to more Basic Grey card stock and adhered to the card base.

Mango Melody ink was used to stamp the floral from the To a Wild Rose stamp set. The centre portion was stamped again and layered onto the first.

The sentiment was stamped with Basic Grey ink and tucked behind the flower.

As finishing touches, I added some die cut leaves, frosted epoxy dots and some Wink of Stella Glitter.

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.

Wonderful Rococo Rose

Hello Everyone,

Do you like the flowers I have used on my card today?

Read on to find out how I made them.

I started by making a Whisper White card base and embossed it with the Subtle embossing folder.

The background leaves were cut from vellum using a die from the, Well Written Die set.

I chose the sentiment from the Rooted in Nature stamp set and cut this with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

For the flowers I first cut circles with the Scalloped circle punches. The circles were then cut again using the Medium Daisy Punch.

The smaller flower was adhered to the larger one and a Rococo Rose faceted gem was added to the centre.

Some Soft Sea Foam leaves completed the card.

Pool Party ink was used to stamp the ‘water’ on to a card layer.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut and adhered to the card first, followed by the boats, using dimensionals.

Inspire.Create #046

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

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

And this is what I created!

If I’m honest I wasn’t sure what I wanted to create to begin with, I don’t have all the ink colours. But I have the card stock! I already had these Stitched Rectangles left over from another project.

For some added interest, though it is not clear on the photos, I stamped the script image from the Very Versaille stamp set with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder.

The coloured rectangle was added towards the right hand side of the card with dimensionals.

I wanted a bold sentiment, I picked this one from Rooted in Nature.

This was stamped with Memento ink and die cut with a Stitched Circle. Each circle was mounted on to a Pearlized Doily.

Life is So Good

Hello Everyone,

I love the flexibility that two-step Stamping offers…. These flowers could be any colour to suit any recipient.

I originally stamped the images on to a Whisper White card layer starting with the foliage.

The flower heads were added next, these were easy to line up by looking through the clear block.

The sentiment was stamped next with Memento black ink. Once this was in place, I added the little dragonflies.

I opted to die cut the images with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered this to a white card base with dimensionals.

Inspire.Create #045

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge.

The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

I have used the emboss resist technique for my project;

I picked out the Stargazing stamp set…. I thought the stars would be perfect for this technique.

First, I applied Balmy Blue ink to some white card stock where the sentiment would be. I then used versamark ink to stamp the images. These were embossed with clear powder.

I then added Pacific Point and Night of Navy ink over the top. A damp cloth rubbed away the excess ink.

The panel was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle and layered on to Whisper White card stock.

A Night of Navy card base was embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder before adding the topper with dimensionals.

Pootlers Blog Hop – New Catalogue 2019

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is part of a team blog hop where we have all used our shiny new products from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalogue!

This one is terrific with some gorgeous stamp sets, bundles and full suites of products to choose from.

My project showcases product from the Magnolia Lane Suite. We had an enormous Magnolia in our front garden when I was a child and I always remember how stunning the flowers were.

The Designer Series Paper has been used as the background for my card. It is so lovely I wanted this to remain a feature.

The topper was kept small using the Stitched Rectangles dies. A larger layer was added by die cutting vellum, so the pattern could still be seen.

The white panel was stamped with a sentiment in black ink, and embellished using the small Magnolia image from the stamp set with Gray Granite ink.

Some silver thread was looped between the layers for some extra texture.
