Keeping it Simple – Part 4

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to part 4 of this series all about keeping it simple. Limited supplies doesn’t mean limited options!

So today, it is the layout that has been changed, opting for a square stamped panel as the focal point.

As before, I used Rich Razzleberry Ink to stamp the leaves from the Tropical Chic stamp set and layered this on to matching card stock.

The tulle ribbon was wrapped and tied around the panel before adhering to a white card base with dimensionals.

Also, as before, the sentiment was cut with the Tailored Tag Punch and some rhinestones finished the card.

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

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Heather has been playing with a card kit. It’s so tempting to just create the cards as intended but with a bit of imagination there is so much more that can be done.

For You

Hello Everyone,

How do you like this colour combination? This was quite accidental but think it looks great.

The process started with the wreath which was stamped with Garden Green ink. The leaves were watercoloured using Sof Sea Foam and Old Olive ink.

The bidr was stamped with Pacific Point ink. A Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen pulled the colour from the outline to colour the image.

Both were allowed to dry before fussy cutting them out.

The background panel was layered with Pacific Point card stock and embossed with the Layered Leaves folder.

The fussy cut pieces were added with dimensionals with a tiny sentiment tag tucked in underneath.

Free as a Bird Thank You card

Hello Everyone,

So I admit it…. I have been avoiding using this set. At launch there were so many lovely things being made with this set, but now I want to share a card with you.

It’s nothing fancy but like how it turned out.

I started with main image which I stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used a reference image to make my birds in to bluetits.

I die cut the image with a Nested Die and also cut the small thank you sentiment.

Leaves were stamped and coloured on a card layer before adhering the birds with dimensionals.

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

Inspire.Create #049

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a colour challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

I prepared a Basic Grey card base and added a white card layer.

A smaller layer was used to stamp a background with Pool Party Ink using the Verdant Garden stamp set. This was matted on to more Basic Grey card stock and adhered to the card base.

Mango Melody ink was used to stamp the floral from the To a Wild Rose stamp set. The centre portion was stamped again and layered onto the first.

The sentiment was stamped with Basic Grey ink and tucked behind the flower.

As finishing touches, I added some die cut leaves, frosted epoxy dots and some Wink of Stella Glitter.

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

Wonderful Rococo Rose

Hello Everyone,

Do you like the flowers I have used on my card today?

Read on to find out how I made them.

I started by making a Whisper White card base and embossed it with the Subtle embossing folder.

The background leaves were cut from vellum using a die from the, Well Written Die set.

I chose the sentiment from the Rooted in Nature stamp set and cut this with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

For the flowers I first cut circles with the Scalloped circle punches. The circles were then cut again using the Medium Daisy Punch.

The smaller flower was adhered to the larger one and a Rococo Rose faceted gem was added to the centre.

Some Soft Sea Foam leaves completed the card.

Blissful Future

Hello Everyone,

I really love using coordinating punches with stamps to make dimensional elements for my cards.

Today I am using the Floral Essence bundle.

Blushing Bride Ink was used to stamp the petals and punched. A ball tool was used to shape each part before adhering together with Multipurpose glue.

I also stamped and punched some leaves.

A pearlized doily was added to a white card base. The sentiment was stamped with Basic Gray ink and adhered with dimensionals.

The flowers were added next overlapping the sentiment, followed by the leaves.

A clear faceted gem was placed in the centre of the flowers to complete the card.

Keeping it Simple – Part 3

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another keep it simple card….

This time I have added a punch to the supply list and used a simple stamping technique to get more from a single ink pad.

The background panel has been stamped with second generation ink…. This means inking the stamp, stamping on to scrap card and then using the second impression on the project. This gives a lighter shade without buying extra ink colours.

The Tailored Tag Punch was used to cut the sentiment.

Embossed Delightful Birthday

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would get my embossing powders out today to create these simple stamping cards.

For the background stamping I used the Artisan Textures stamp set with a trio of ink colours, working from light to dark.

An embossing buddy ensured the ink was completely dry before adding the sentiment with versamark ink.

Embossing powder was sprinkled over the stamped sentiment and heated until melted.

The toppers were adhered to white card bases with dimensionals.

Keeping it Simple – Part 2

Hello Everyone,

You may well remember a recent post where I used minimal supplies – Keeping it simple.

Today’s card uses the same products, but added coloured card stock and an extra embellishment.

The sentiment was stamped next on to a strip of card stock and adhered with dimensionals.

Some scattered rhinestones added some bling to complete the card.
