Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Good morning!

Another quick card today.

The background is stamped with Powder Pink ink using this cute little flower from the new Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

The greeting was stamped in Berry Burst ink, and cut with the Pretty Label punch. This was mounted on to a Berry Burst Stitched circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added to the card.

Very beautiful and easy to mass produce in the colour of your choice.

New products are available from the 1st June.

Hi there Crafters,

Today’s sneak peek is the Colorful Seasons stamp set… Some great images for all year round.

This card is super simple to create with minimal supplies.

On a white A2 card base, I used black ink to stamp the sentiment, I thought it looked great slightly tilted, like it was handwritten.

Three large leaves were stamped in Lemon Lime Twist. The veins were then stamped over the top in Tranquil Tide ink.

Small leaves were added by stamping off the first impression on to scrap paper first.

That’s it! Of course some being could be added too, but I wanted this to be simple … perfect for a beginner to start stamping and card making.

Supplies will be availble from 1st June.

Good Morning Everyone,

Three cute 4 by 4 cards for you today, showcasing some new dies coming to the new Stampin’ Up!  catalogue coming your way in June.

I used one of the images from the stamp set to create a grungey background with Lemon Lime Twist ink. 

The “Lovely” die was cut from Fresh Fig; this was hand cut out of the card stock leaving a border. A few pearls were added to finish.

The same stamp was used on this background in Berry Burst ink.

The “hugs” die was cut in to Whisper White card stock; then cut from the card with a Stitched Shape framelit.

This was adhered to a scalloped circle cut from Berry Burst card stock and finished with rhinestones.

A tone on tone background, (3 3/4 inch square), was created with Tranquil Tide card and ink. From this I cut the “friend” die. This was adhered to the card base with multi purpose glue.

Layering Ovals were used to create a frame. I added a copper trim bow to finish.

I hope you enjoyed these projects.

Supplies will be available from 1st June. If you would like a FREE copy of the new catalogue please contact me.

Good Morning Crafters,

I am excited to be introducing NEW products coming your way from 1st June.

There are 5 fantastic new In-Colours; you have already seen Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide, (shown above), but now I can show you Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Powder Pink. All truly stunning colours.

There is a new Designer Paper stack in the new colours, called Fresh Florals, which I have use to make the samples you see here.

The eagle-eyed among you will also see that there is also a sneak peek at a new punch and sentiment set.

For these cards, I have cut a 4 inch strip of designer paper and cut this in to two 5 3/4 inch lengths. One piece will make this card; the other is for later. A sentiment was stamped in matching ink and punched out. I layered this on to a Stitched Oval and a Stitched square as shown. Very simple design to show off the colours.

For the second sample, I have used the opposite side of the designer paper.

The layers are cut as follows:

Coloured Card – 4 1/8 by 5 7/8

Whisper White – 4 1/2 by 6 1/4

Coloured Card – 4 5/8 by 6 3/8

Layer these together as shown, the design fits a 5 by 7 card base.

Stamp a sentiment on to a 7/8 inch strip of Whisper White card stock and cut in to a flag end banner. Adhere this with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finish with rhinestones.

This design is easy to replicate and batch produce in every colour. Change the designer paper for a completely different look.

Good Morning Crafters,

Following the retirement of one of my favourite stamp sets, Gorgeous Grunge, I have been experimenting with alternatives.

I have used Touches of Texture in a combination of Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Pacific Point and Old Olive.

The sentiment is from All Things Thanks, which was die cut with a Stitched Shape framelit. This was adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals with some copper thread behind it.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hi there Crafter’s,

These little birds are so lovely!

To make this project I stamped the birds and branch from the Best Birds set in Archival ink. These were water coloured using Pacific Point, Real Red, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

The images were die cut with the matching framelits.

The “mesh” image from the set was stamped in the middle ofcthe card front in Crumb Cake ink.

The birds and branch wre adhered to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment with Crumb Cake ink.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hi Crafter’s,

A super simple share for you today using the Watercolour Wings stamp set.

I have used So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze ink to build the butterfly.  The body, antenna and greeting were added using Smoky Slate ink.

Hi there Crafter’s,

Here is another card using water colour pencils and the Swirly Bird stamp set.

I wanted to use the “emboss resist” technique. I started by wiping the water colour paper with an embossing buddy. Using versamark ink, I stamped a small swirl randomly over the paper. This was embossed with clear powder.

I added water colour pencil, Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry, then blended it out with a damp paint brush. Once dry, I wiped off any excess moisture with a paper towel.

I used the matching ink pads to add some splatter images from the stamp set. 

I die cut a large swirl from the coordinating die set using Bermuda Bay card stock.

Two banners were cut from white and Mint Macaron card stock, then stamped the greeting in Early Espresso ink. These were added to the bottom of the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Good morning!

I am sharing a first attempt at some water colouring with Stampin’ Up! watercolour pencils.

I stamped the image with black archival ink. I added colour to the base of the petals, Real Red and Calypso Coral. With a damp paint brush, I blended out the colour. For the stem and leaves I used Old Olive.

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink.
With Timeless Textures, I added a distressed edge in Soft Suede ink.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hi there,

Men’s cards are so troublesome! Especially when, they detest football, fishing, trains and all other things generally found in the bloke section!

Here’s something that I thought could work well for these situations.

I have used a prescored A6 card blank. Hardwood was stamped in Soft Suede ink. Some of the lines were washed out a little with an aqua painter.

The words are stamped using Early Espresso ink, and punched using the Classic Label. These were adhered flat on to a Stitched Circle in Crumb Cake card stock.

A slightly larger circle was  cut from Whisper White. To this I added loops of linen thread. The Crumb Cake circle was then added on top of this with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and then on to the card itself.

A very simple design, but I hope you like it.

Hi there Crafters,

Unusually for me, today’s card is completely flat but still has impact.

The card base is made from Very Vanilla card stock. 

I have used three of the stamps to create the pattern, starting just above centre. 

The six pointed medallion was stamped with Dapper Denim ink.

I added the “centre” with Fresh Fig ink, then the dotted circle with Tranquil Tide ink.

The sentiment was also stamped in Tranquil Tide ink.

I hope you like this project.

Good morning,

If you’ve been following me over the last few days, you will know I have been experimenting with alternative colour combinations with the current In Colours. Today I have used Emerald Envy and a peek of Peekaboo Peach!!

I started by using a die from Eastern Medallions to cut in to a piece of Fresh Fig designer paper. This was adhered to a Very Vanilla card base.

Cut another medallion to fit in the centre if the first. This was cut from Emerald Envy and added to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Fresh Fig ink and die cut with a Layering Circle die. This was mounted on to a scalloped circle cut from Peekaboo Peach. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed this project.

Good morning,

I thought I would try another colour combo today, mixing new In Colours with existing ones. This card uses Tranquil Tide and Flirty Flamingo!

The card base is made using Very Vanilla card stock. The designer paper is cut to 3 7/8 by 5 5/8 and adhered flat to the card base.

Cut Flirty Flamingo and Tranquil Tide card stock using the largest Eastern Medallion dies. Layer these together with some wet glue. Adhere to the card with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment in coordinating ink and die cut using a scalloped circle die. Add to the card with dimensionals.

That’s it! Love it!

Good morning,

I want to share this project today.

The Eastern Palace bundle has this great lime designer paper, so vibrant. I have paired it with Sweet Sugarplum.

The Sugarplum layer was cut to 4 by 5 3/4. 

The designer paper was cut to 3 7/8 by 5 5/8. A die was used to cut the decorative elements into the paper.

This was adhered to the Sugarplum layer, then to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Sweet Sugarplum ink, and cut with a circle die. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this ptoject.

Good Morning!

To continue the Eastern Palace theme, I will be sharing some projects incorporating other Stampin’ Up! products.

For today’s project, I am using the retiring In Colour, Delightful Dijon.

For the base, cut an A4 sheet of Delightful Dijon on the long side at 5 1/2 inches. Put this piece to one side, it will be used in tomorrow’s project.

The remaining piece is scored at 1 3/4 inches on all 4 sides. Cut and fold tabs to create the box.

For the lid, use Fresh Fig card stock from the Eastern Palace bundle. Cut this to 5 1/4 by 7 3/8.

Wipe the surface with an Embossing Buddy. Using versamark ink, stamp the pattern over the entire piece. The shape fits together beautifully. (Practice on scrap first). Cover with clear embossing powder and set with a heat tool.

Score at 1 1/4 on all 4 sides. Cut and fold tabs to form the box.

To decorate, cut the large medallion in Delightful Dijon.

Cut two 4 pointed shapes from Fresh Fig, and layer them together.

Stamp the greeting in versamark and emboss with clear powder. Cut using a scalloped Layering Circle die.

I hope you enjoyed this project.
