Postage Stamp Punch Window card

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

This idea entered my head from somewhere…. I wanted to create a window look with the Postage Stamp punch!

I then had to work out how to do it….

I decided to use the Ornate Style stamp set for the focal image, which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

Which colour way do you prefer?

See how I make this card in my video tutorial;

InspireInk Blog Hop – New Catalogue Favourites

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop.

This month we are showcasing the new delights of the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue!

Please be sure to click through all the projects in the hop by clicking on the link at the bottom of this post.

I am featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle.

This wouldn’t normally be something I would go for, but I have made so many cards already, I thought I would share another.

This is really easy for a beginner stamper too. Use the colours you have to make your own version of this card.

By using an odd number of images, the card design remains balanced. The stamps have details within them that gives a watercolour effect without the mess.

The Whisper White Tulle adds some soft texture. The sentiment tucks in under the knot nice and neatly.

And here is a closer look at the Melon Mambo version.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Always…..

Hello Everyone,

Something very simple for today’s post. The card features the new Field of Flowers stamp set.

I chose a soft colour palette of Soft Sea Foam and Blushing Bride with a pop of black.

The set is photopolymer, so it was easy to line up the flower heads over the stems.

The sentiment was stamped overlapping the floral image and decorated with rhinestones and some ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season combo pack.

Hello Everyone,

I made this card ages ago and completely forgot to share it!

I have to different ink blending methods to create this project.

I also used the amazing Tropic Chic stamp set which is sadly retiring. To achieve the gradient colour on the leaves, I used the Stamparatus tool, inking and stamping each image twice.

Here is video showing how to create a blended background!
