Great Places

Hello Everyone,

There are so many ways to colour stamped images…. Today I am using watercolour pencils.

I prepped a card base by stamping the clouds images with Pool Party ink.

As I was watercolouring, the balloons were stamped on a separate piece of card stock with Stazon Ink.

Colour was applied to the images, concentrating on the lines. A blender pen smoothed out the lines and pulled the colour in to the rest of the image.

I used the coordinating punch to cut the balloons which were adhered with dimensionals.

In My Thoughts

Hello Everyone,

I really love the simplicity of this faceted heart. Last time I used it, I “coloured” the heart with the accompanying brushstroke image. This time I wanted to colour the image with my Stampin’ Blends.

I opted for a Pool Party colour theme, stamping the image with with Classic ink first.

I then coloured each section with my Markers, deciding where peaks and troughs would be.

I had to add some Wink of Stella for some extra bling.

The sentiment was added below the heart.

The panel was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. A larger rectangle was cut from Pool Party card stock.

The layers were finally adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Inspire.Create #047

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 sketch challenge.

The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is my card…

The sketch reminded me of the sun so I cut a circle from some scrap paper and used it as a stencil.

I added Daffodil Delight ink first, working from the edge of the stencil to the centre. I then moved to Pumpkin Pie and then a touch of Poppy Parade around the edges.

To continue the tropical sunset feel, I chose to add the palm trees from the Friend Like You stamp set using Memento Ink. The sentiment in the set fitted in nicely too.

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

Keeping it Simple

Hello Everyone,

There was a little challenge set in our team Facebook group this weekend…. Keep it simple – one stamp set, one colour and one embellishment.

I picked out;

  • Tropical Chic,
  • Rich Razzleberry ink,
  • Polka Dot Tulle ribbon.

And this is what I came up with… Super easy to achieve whether you are a beginner or more experienced stamper.

I stamped the leaves first overlapping the edges of the card layer.

The Tulle ribbon was added toward the bottom and tied in a bow. The layer was added to a white card base.

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

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

Best of Friends

Hello Everyone,

Using Designer Series Paper is a fast way to make impactful cards.

The Bird Ballad collection needs little by way of embellishments.

I added a sentiment which had been heat embossed with white powder on black card stock.

For some extra interest, I stamped flowers and coloured them with Stampin’ Blends. The colour lifter helped achieve a soft blend.

Inspire.Create #046

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!

If I’m honest I wasn’t sure what I wanted to create to begin with, I don’t have all the ink colours. But I have the card stock! I already had these Stitched Rectangles left over from another project.

For some added interest, though it is not clear on the photos, I stamped the script image from the Very Versaille stamp set with versamark and heat embossed with clear powder.

The coloured rectangle was added towards the right hand side of the card with dimensionals.

I wanted a bold sentiment, I picked this one from Rooted in Nature.

This was stamped with Memento ink and die cut with a Stitched Circle. Each circle was mounted on to a Pearlized Doily.

Very Versaille Thank You

Hello Everyone,

I just love the mixture of images in the Very Versaille stamp set!

This background was really simple to create.

I wanted a more vintage feel, so I used some Very Vanilla card stock to stamp on for a change.

I positioned the text first, stamping this with Crumb Cake ink.

The foliage was stamped next with Mossy Meadow ink. This was done twice so the leaves ran along the left hand edge of the card.

I decided to heat emboss the ornate frame image with gold embossing powder.

I did try to add the sentiment directly to the card but it got lost on the background. To get round this, I stamped it again on to some scrap card and cut it with a 1″ punch.

The card front was layered onto Mossy Meadow card stock and added to a Crumb Cake card base.

Cards in a Flash

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen all the amazing Designer Series Papers in this years catalogue?

These cards use the See a Silhouette collection…. They are so pretty, I didn’t want to cover them up!

I simply added sentiments that were stamped with black ink. For contrast, these were mounted on black card stock before adhering to the cards with dimensionals.

It was so easy, I made two… This pattern is the reverse of the first.

Each 12 by 12 inch sheet can make 6 standard cards in this way… with 12 sheets in a pack, that’s a lot of cards!

Life is So Good

Hello Everyone,

I love the flexibility that two-step Stamping offers…. These flowers could be any colour to suit any recipient.

I originally stamped the images on to a Whisper White card layer starting with the foliage.

The flower heads were added next, these were easy to line up by looking through the clear block.

The sentiment was stamped next with Memento black ink. Once this was in place, I added the little dragonflies.

I opted to die cut the images with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered this to a white card base with dimensionals.
