Tiled Background with the Stamparatus

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’ve been loving the different backgrounds I have been making this week.

Here’s another with the Today’s Tile stamp set.

I used the Stamparatus tool to line up the images as seen in my video tutorial…

This is the Gray Granite version which was finished with champagne rhinestones.

The two Grey’s look so different when they are side by side. Which do you prefer?

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Geometric Background featuring The Right Triangle stamp set

Hello Everyone,

More background building today using the Right Triangle stamp set.

I chose greens to complement the leaf design in the image.

I also made a version in blue. Which is your favourite?

See how I made this card in my video tutorial;

I think these images would work well with emboss resist technique.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

This week I am making backgrounds! And I am starting with this blended background using the 2920 in colours.

See how I made today’s card in my video tutorial…..

I made the mistake of forgetting to use my embossing buddy, but the overall effect turned out okay in the end.

With so many other colours in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue there are lots of possibilities with this layout.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Pootlers Blog Hop – New Annual Catalogue Goodies!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to this special post as part of our team blog hop.

Be sure to click the blue box at the end of this post to see all the other wonderful creations!

I have chosen to work with the Flowers for Every Season Suite of products. Stunning florals, coordinating Designer Series Paper and cute gingham ribbon featuring the new 2020 In Colours.

The base card uses Misty Moonlight card stock and layered with DSP.

The jar of flowers were stamped on to Whisper White card stock with Gray Granite ink.

The flowers were stamped twice more and coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

The large blooms were fussy cut and layered over the base image “decoupage style” with dimensionals.

There are no sentiments in this set, so I borrowed one from the new Field of Flowers set. The end were cut with my star product in the catalogue… The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch!
