Quick Cards featuring Twinkle Twinkle DSP (part 2)

Hi there,

On Friday I shared some quick cards using the Twinkle Twinkle DSP. Today’s card use the same technique with a slightly different layout.

I have picked three sheetsof Twinkle Twinkle DSP with a predominant base colour, (Whisper White, Pool Party and Night of Navy).

Each of the coordinating card stock colours were used to make a standard card base. The front was then embossed with the Subtle Embossing folder.

DSP was cut to 3 inches by 2 inches. A piece of white card was cut to make a layer behind the paper. The panel was then adhered towards the top right corner of the card base.

I wanted a bold sentiment so I picked out “thanks” from the Friendly Expressions Stamp set. This was stamped with coordinating ink, trimmed to size and added to the card.

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

Also check out the Blended Season bundle available during August, while stocks last.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

InspireInk Blog Hop – Embossed Anniversary

Hello and welcome to July’s InspireINK blog hop.

The theme this month was chosen by Sally.

This is my project.

Very Vanilla card stock was used to make the card base which was then embossed with the Tufted embossing folder.

The sentiments were stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed.

Oval dies were used to used to create a layered topper.

Polka Dot Tulle ribbon was zig zagged between the layers for added texture.

A larger vellum oval lay behind the topper to soften the look of the card.

Sending Love #FMS344

Hi Everyone,

It’s Friday! And time for another sketch challenge!

As usual the design team have come up with some fabulous inspiration. See all their projects here!

And this is my project.

I have used Garden Impressions designer series paper to decorate the corners of a white card base.

The card front was then embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.

The Floral Frames stamp set was used to stamp the greeting and flowers with Night of Navy and Crushed Curry ink.

The Tailored Tag was used to add banner ends to the sentiment. This was adhered to a Melon Mambo Everyday Label. Some Rose metallic thread was looped behind the label before adding to the card with dimensionals.

Wink of Stella clear glitter was added over the flowers which were added using snail and dimensional adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Team Card Swap 2018

Good Morning,

One of the best things about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, is being part of a team and sharing ideas.

Recently, I took part in a card swap, the focus being on new annual catalogue products.

I chose to use the Abstract Impressions bundle.

The card base was made from Petal Pink card stock.

A white card layer was embossed with using the new embossing mats for the Big Shot.

To make the topper, white card stock was cut to 3 inches square.

Soft Sea Foam and Granny Apple Green inks were used to stamp the stems.

Petal Pink and Grapefruit Grove inks were used for the flowers.

For a little contrast, the butterfly was stamped with Balmy Blue ink.

This was layered on to Grapefruit Grove and Petal Pink card stock. Some Polka Dot tulle was secured between the card layers.

Balmy Blue ink was used for the sentiment which was cut into a banner.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the 24/7 online store below.

Perseverance

Good Morning,

I love today’s project! It turned out just as I had hoped. I had seen a short video clip of swimming koi and noticed many of them had large areas of white on them.

I thought about how I could achieve this.

As with my previous card using the smaller fishes; I used the Stamparatus to build the layers.

Using sponge daubers to apply the ink; I started with a little bit of Gray Granite. Added Poppy Parade around the head and tip of the tail, then added some Pumpkin Pie.

I was careful not to add ink to the middle of the body. The final step was inking the whole thing with versamark. This was stamped twice to ensure good coverage and then heat embossed with clear powder.

Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam ink was added around the fish to bring out the “white” parts and the illusion of water. A light spritz with water added to the effect.

The final piece was mounted on to Gray Granite card stock and then a Soft Sea Foam card base.

Ihope you like this as much as I did.

The supplies used are listed below and linked to my 24/7 online store.

A Special Birthday

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to this month’s InspireInk blog hop.

The theme this month is “Milestone Birthday”

I have to say this was a bit tricky, I really miss the Large Numbers for this sort of card.

Instead, I have used the small numbers in the Pick a Pennant stamp set and used it like confetti in the background.

I started with the large Happy Birthday from the One for All set, stamping this with versamark ink and then heat embossed with clear powder.

This was repeated with the little numbers.

The Pick a Pennant stamp set also had some cute stars which I decided to include in the design.

I wanted these to be yellow so I applied some Pineapple Punch over the card using a sponge. Once dry, the stars were added using versamark ink and embossed.

To complete the card, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Highland Heather inks were sponged over the embossing.

Excess ink was removed from the embossing with a barely damp cloth.

For some added interest I spritzer some water over the piece, lifting a little of the ink. Texture was added with the Scattered Sequins embossing folder.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Amazing Bokeh

Good Morning Everyone,

Sometimes I have absolutely no idea what I am going to make…. This project was one of those, but I am really pleased with the result.

This stamp set immediately caught my eye in the new annual catalogue so I started with the stamp. After trying a few ink colours, I tried heat embossing the image.

I then decided to use the emboss resist technique to bring out the detail. The colours I picked out were Balmy Blue, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam. The ink was applied with sponge daubers.

For added interest, I lightly spritzed the card with water, dabbed off the excess and dried with a heat tool.

The panel was adhered to some Basic Gray card stock and then added to a Soft Sea Foam card base.

Rather than stamping a sentiment, I used the Celebrate You thinlits. These were cut from Basic Black and Basic Gray card stock. For some dimension, “you” was cut three times and glued together.

Finally, some pearl white adhesive sequins were added to the card.

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

Please use the hostess code 4QCQ4HPT when placing your order to get something extra from me in July.

Inspire.Create #020

Good Morning!

The Inspire.Create design team have created some wonderful projects with this card sketch challenge. You can see them all here!

I used the sketch to help with the design of this year’s Father’s Day card.

I chose Blueberry Bushel as the main colour for the design.

I cut and scored a card base in the usual way and then used the Maps Dynamic Textures embossing folder to emboss the front.

A 2 inch strip of Blueberry Bushel DSP was adhered to a 2-1/2 inch piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Night of Navy Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and then adhered to the card base with dimensionals.

I used the Another Wonderful Year stamp set and Blueberry Bushel ink to stamp the sentiment on to a 1/2 inch strip of Whisper White card stock.

Dimensional adhesive was used to secure the sentiment to the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.
