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.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below. These will be available to purchase from 3rd January 2018.

Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!

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.

If you would like a free copy of the new catalogue please let me know.

Appreciation

Good Morning!

How cute is this little fellow?

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

I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the greeting and the toucan.

The toucan was coloured with watercolour pencils and blender pens.

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.

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

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

Congrats #FMS318

Hi there,

Another fun sketch challenge from FMS for today’s project.

I decided to give Christmas a break and designed this cute congrats card.

I have used So Saffron card stock cut to 1 inch and 2 inch strips and adhered them to a Whisper White card base.

A 2-1/4 by 4 inch piece of white card stock was stamped with an image from the Flower Shop set. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

Two additional flowers were stamped in Rose Red ink and cut with the coordinating punch.

The greeting was taken from Sunshine Sayings. The Leaf Punch was used to cut Lemon Lime Twist card for a pop of extra colour.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Christmas Blessings #GDP118

Hi folks,

Its time for a sketch challenge over at the Global Design Project this week. See what the design team made here.

This is my design.

The card base was made using Garden Green card stock.

The card layer was embossed using the Sparkle embossing folder. A 2 inch strip of tartan paper from the Christmas Around The World DSP collection was adhered with Fast Fuse to the debossed side.

Some Linen Thread was wrapped around and tied in to a bow, with a silver Foil Snowflake layered on top.

The sentiment was taken from Christmas Pines which I stamped on black card with versamark and heat embossed with white powder.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #007

Good Morning,

I am taking part in the Inspire.Create.Challenge today.

This week it’s a colour challenge!

You can see what the Design Team created here

This was such a festive combination so I have created a Christmas project.

The centre panel for stamping was cut to 3-1/4 inches square.

The edges of the panel were stamped using the Peace This Christmas stamp set.

Starting with Pear Pizzazz, the fir branch covered the entire edge.

Working in threes, Tranquil Tide ink was used to add the leaves and berries. This was also used to add some detail to the feast of the panel.

Pine cones were stamped in Crumb Cake ink, and the berries in Real Red.

The sentiment was added to the middle using Black Memento ink.

The panels were adhered to another Whisper White square measuring 3-1/2 inches.

For the white card, this was simply adhered with dimensionals.

The other card was made from Tranquil Tide card stock. The stamped panel was then added to some Real Red card stock measuring 3-5/8 inches square before adhering to the card base.

 

I hope you enjoyed this project. Thanks for stopping by and happy Stampin’!

December Birthday

Hi Folks,

Today’s post is part of the Pootles Birthday blog hop. Please visit the other blogs on the hop for some additional inspiration.

I have chosen Birthday Memories DSP for my background which determined the colours I used for the rest of the card.

I selected Pacific Point card stock for the card base. I added some interest by stamping the Brushstrokes background across the centre using Dapper Denim ink.

The DSP was matted on to So Saffron card stock and adhered in the centre of the card.

The sentiment is from the Watercolor Words set and stamped in Pacific Point. Again, this was matted on to So Saffron card stock. This was adhered at an angle using dimensionals.

A couple of balloons were punched from Tempting Turquoise card stock and added some clear Wink of Stella.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
