Bubbly Birthday #FMS319

I am joining in with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge again today. See what the design team made here.

I chose to use the Bubbles and Fizz designer series paper to create my card.

The layers were simple to cut. All measure 5-3/4 inches in height. The widths were 4, 3-1/4 and 3 inches.

A sentiment was stamped with Calypso Coral ink and layered with coordinating paper banners.

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

Fabulous You

Hello Crafting Friends,

There is a super cute present bow image in this stamp set. So I made a faux present as a card topper.

The bow was stamped with second generation Bermuda Bay ink three times. These were cut out and layered decoupage style with mini dimensionals.

A 2 inch square if card stock was stamped all over with a confetti image using Lemon Lime Twist ink. This was then ‘wrapped’ with Sale-a-bration shimmer ribbon.

This was mounted on to white card stock, with a stamped sentiment. This was layered on to Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point card stock.

The white card base was stamped all over with the same confetti image before adding the topper.

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

Now is a great time to join my team. Find out more about being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator here.

Two of You Together #GDP120

This week the Global Design Project has a Case the Designer challenge. This was created by Krista Frattin. You can see what the design team created here.

And this is what I have created:

The background on the original uses DSP, which I have also pulled in to my design. This paper is black and white, but I coloured the flowers with Stampin’ Blends.

The centrepiece uses the pretty florals from the Petal Palette stamp set. The images were stamped with Memento ink and coloured with Blends.

Coordinating dies were used to cut the images. One was adhered flat whilst the other was raised on dimensionals.

A piece of ribbon was added along the bottom, also inspired by the example card.

A pair of little birds were stamped, coloured and die cut. The were added to the flowers.

The example uses the Everyday Label punch to mount the sentiment. I have used this to cut my chosen sentiment from Whisper White card stock. A second label was cut from Pink Pirouette card stock.

Some silver bakers twine was looped underneath the label which is also visible on the original design.

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

Bubble Over

Hi Everyone,

Today I am using products from Bubble Over suite, including a Sale-a-bration DSP.

I prepared a card base using Garden Green card stock and adhered this fun DSP to the front.

The bottles have been die cut from the paper too. Alternatively, these could be cut with scissors.

Straws were die cut from Whisper White card stock. Some multipurpose liquid glue was used to secure these to the back of each bottle.

I adhered the smaller bottles first, then added larger ones in the middle with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto Lemon Lime Twist card stock. The ends were cut with the Everyday Label punch.

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

Lots of Lavender

Hi Everyone,

Lots of Lavender is a beautiful new set that is available during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order.

The lavender image was stamped with black Memento ink. The set includes stamps that can be used to “colour” the main image. I used Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry. All were stamped off once for a more subtle effect.

The panel was added to Pear Pizzazz card stock and then on to a Wisteria Wonder card base with dimensionals.

There are no sentiments in the set, so I used Sunshine Sayings and Garden Green ink.

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

Lots to Love Box

Good Morning!

The Spring Summer catalogue is full of great new product suites. Today I am featuring the stamp set and die bundle from the Painted with Love suite.

The large box die was cut twice from coloured card stock.

One panel was stamped with the heart wreath image. The centre was cut with the coordinating die.

Window sheet was adhered behind the aperture before assembling the box. You will see in the accompanying video, I forgot this step!

A 2 inch strip of vellum was bent around the box and gently creased. The join was kept to the front so that it could be covered by the embellishments.

With the vellum in place, the heart, (from the aperture), was adhered with dimensionals.

The sentiment banner was stamped on to a scrap of coloured card stock and die cut. This was added across the front of the box.

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

Now is a great time to join. Contact me to find out more.

Always Thinking of You

Hi Everyone,

This beautiful butterfly is the star of the show on this card.

The image was stamped on to Whisper White card stock with Memento ink and allowed to dry completely.

I used Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to colour the image. Markers are available as a complete set, (12 plus bronze, ivory and a colour lifter), as a combo set, ( light and dark shades of a particular colour), or individually, allowing you to collect markers to suit your crafting.

Each section of the image was coloured separately.

The colours used were Light Pool Party, Dark Pool Party and Light Bermuda Bay. Each colour was blended into the previous creating a soft gradient of shading.

The layer was adhered to a Pool Party card base.

The sentiment is also from the set. This was stamped in black and added to the card using mini dimensionals.

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

Perennial Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share this card made with the Perennial Birthday stamp set.

A Calypso Coral card base was stamped with the speckles around the edge.

A piece of Whisper White card was stamped with the smaller flower using Calypso Coral ink. These were “stamped off” once for a more faded look.

Garden Green ink was used to stamp the sentiment.

I used Stampin’ Write markers to colour the large flower stamp for a multi coloured impression. This was cut with a Layering Circle die and layered on to a Garden Green scalloped circle.

As a final touch, a small bow tied from Basic Grey Shimmer ribbon.

The Sweetest

Good Morning!

I have something clean and simple to share with you today.

I have used the Fruit Basket stamp set and punches. This is a new bundle available in the Spring Summer catalogue from 3rd January 2018. Products may also be purchased separately.

The fruit were stamped on to a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock. All the ink colours are listed in the supply list below, however,if you are new to Stampin’, there is a collection of “ink spots” that also coordinate with the set.

The images were punched out. They will not be left with a white border like some other punches in the Stampin’ Up! range.

On a 2-1/4 inch square, I stamped the sentiment with Basic Grey ink and rounded the corners.

The fruit were adhered using mini dimensionals. This was then layered on to a 2-1/2 inch square of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

I chose to use a Powder Pink card base as I thought this complemented the fruity theme.

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

How cute is this little fellow?

This is from an amazing new stamp set in the Spring Summer catalogue called Bird Banter.

I added foliage from the set with Old Olive ink and coloured the leaves with watercolour pencil.

The base card is made from Garden Green card stock, which I embossed with a new embossing folder from the Petal Palette Suite.

Some Striped Lemon Lime Twist ribbon was zigzagged across the back of the stamped panel before adhering to the card base with dimensionals.

Happy Boxing Day!

The Christmas things are packed away, time to start playing with new products from the new Spring – Summer catalogue.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is being able to get hold of new products before the catalogue goes live to customers.

This card features some of the elements from the Petal Palette stamp set.

I have used Basic Grey ink rather than black for a softer look.

The bird image was sit with the Starburst Punch and adhered to a Bermuda Bay starburst.

I added some simple decoration with Bermuda Bay Shimmer Ribbon. This is a special item that will be available during Sale-a-tion, check out the details at inkybutterfly.stampinupuk.net
