Anniversary Heart

Hi Everyone,

Clean and Simple is the order of the day with this card.

The heart was stamped with Memento ink to allow the image to be coloured with Stampin’ Blend markers.

For the sentiment, the word anniversary was stamped first. This was taken from the Happy Wishes Sale-a-bration set. The word happy is from Thoughtful Banners.

The panel was adhered to a neutral card base. I chose to use Crumb Cake card stock for this.

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

Petal Passion Sweet Box

Good Morning,

I don’t make many 3D projects. I find them quite tricky to do, but this turned out really well.

The box itself is a pizza style box made with full A4 sheet of Powder Pink card stock.

The card was scored at 1 inch and 2 inches on all four sides.

The long side was also scored at 5-3/8 inches and 6-3/8 inches.

The score lines were folded and burnished.

Each corner has four squares. The three outer squares were cut away. The remaining square was cut to form a tab.

The centre score lines were also cut in to tabs.

The Petal Passion paper was coloured using a brayer and Flirty Flamingo ink. Whilst flat, paper was added to the lid and the inside panels.

The box was constructed by forming the base first, then the lid.

For a snug closure a belly band was made with Powder Pink ribbon and some flowers from the Petal Palette stamp set.

The flowers were stamped with Memento ink, coloured with Stampin’ Blends and die cut the the coordinating framelits.

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

Crushed Curry ink was used to stamp the sunshine. These were added to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Tempting Turquoise ink. Some clear epoxy rain drops finished the card.

Remarkable

Hi there Everyone,

I am really loving working with Stampin’ Blends markers.

I have used more expensive markers in the past and the Blends perform really well in comparison.

Blending is easy because the markers are available as a pair, containing a light and dark shade or buy individually to create your own palette.

There are lots of ways to purchase.

  1. Get the whole set; 12 pairs of Stampin’ Up! colours, bronze, ivory and a colour lifter.
  2. Choose the colours you like to work with. Include a colour lifter to expand the shades that can be achieved with limited colours. Build your collection over time to suit your budget.
  3. Join Stampin’ Up! and add markers to your starter kit. Make up the value with Memento ink and card stock. Until 31st March, you can also add two extra stamp sets to colour with your markers.

View the details of the Sale-a-bration joining offer and the Stampin’ Blends colours available here!

For today’s card I have coloured this lovely flower from the Remarkable You stamp set.

I used the Calypso Coral combo and a little of the light Cherry Cobbler marker for the petals. Old Olive was used for the stem.

The image was cut with a Stitched square framelit and the layered on to some Cajun Craze card stock.

I made the card base with Cajun Craze card stock and added a plain white card layer.

Some white organza ribbon was coloured with the Ivory Stampin’ Blend marker…. Your ribbon can now be whatever colour you want!

The ribbon was looped back and forth and adhered to card base. The stamped square was added over the top with dimensionals.

The sentiment was added to the left to balance the card.
