Cardmaking – Page 40 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Warm Wishes

Hello Everyone,

I have had this idea in my head for a while, finally it is made a reality.

The card uses the Rustic Retreat stamp set which I fear has been a little overlooked but I love it.

My card base was made with Crumb Cake card stock. The pine bough image was used to embellish the background using Early Espresso ink.

The topper panel was stamped with the treeline image with Shaded Spruce, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz inks. This was layered on to Poppy Parade card stock.

The cabin and sentiment were stamped with Early Espresso and Poppy Parade inks respectively.

Watercolour Pencils were used to add a hint of colour to the cabin before Die Cutting with a Stitched Oval die.

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’!

Wrapped Wrapped in Plaid x3

Hello Everyone,

Here are some more cards using Perfectly Plaid bundle and Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper.

The paper has three main colours in collection, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Night of Navy. It is these colours that I have used for my card bases.

To make a card base cut an A4 sheet of card stock lengthways at 4-1/8 inches (10.5cm), turn and score at 5-7/8 inches (15cm).

Each card base was layered with a piece of coordinating DSP measuring 4 inches (10.2cm) by 5-3/4 inches (14.6cm).

The smaller panels measured;

3 inches (7.6cm) by 4-3/4 inches (12cm) for the coloured card stock;

2-7/8 inches (7.3cm) by 4-5/8 inches (11.7cm) for the white card stock.

On this piece, the sentiment was stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with gold powder.

The embossed panels were adhered to the corresponding card base.

Scrap coloured card was used to stamp and heat emboss the trees which were cut with the coordinating punch. These were added to each card using dimensionals.

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.

Inspire.Create #055

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!

This was quite a tricky combination! Once I decided that Lovely Lipstick and Old Olive would be used for a floral, I picked out Pop of Petals to create my design.

I used Blushing Bride card stock to make the card base which I stamped with coordinating ink.

Leaves were stamped on the topper panel with Old Olive ink and layered with Night of Navy card stock.

The flowers were stamped on to some scrap card stock using Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the coordinating punch.

The Well Said stamp set provided the sentiment which was stamped with Night of Navy ink. The Classic Label punch fits over this perfectly and was adhered with mini dimensionals.

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.

Layered Let It Snow

Hello Everyone,

More Christmas crafting today with the Snowman Season stamp set and the adorable Let it Snow Speciality Designer Series Paper.

The Designer Series Paper was adhered to a white card base.

The flip side then used to make a smaller topper panel. Tulle ribbon was tied around the panel before adding to the prepared card base.

The snowman was stamped in Memento black ink and coloured using a combination of watercolour pencils and Stampin’ Blends Markers. The image was cut with a Stitched Rectangle die.

Flirty Flamingo ink was used for the sentiment which was also die cut.

Layers were assembled using dimensionals. Some snowflakes which were left over from yesterday’s project finished the card.

Yuletide Season

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card features the Frosted Frames dies, they are so pretty!

I started by making a card base from Seaside Spray card stock and adhering a white card layer to the front.

The Frosted Frames were cut twice, once in Seaside Spray and the other in Whisper White card stocks. These were adhered together and to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy ink and die cut.

Some extra snowflakes were die cut and added as embellishments.

More Perfectly Plaid Pines

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another card using the Perfectly Plaid Bundle. Also features the coordinating Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper.

I started by preparing a white card base and adding DSP to the background.

Golden Glitz pigment ink was used to stamp the sentiment on to a card layer and adhered this to the base.

Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce inks were used to stamp the trees which were cut with the matching punch.

I decided how to position the trees, adhering some flat and some with dimensionals.

At Christmas Time

Hello Everyone,

Here we go with another super simple Christmas card.

The border stamps from the Christmas Countdown set were stamped across a Whisper White card layer using Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler inks. A grid mat helps to keep everything straight.

The sentiment from the host stamp set, Greatest Part of Christmas, was added with Cherry Cobbler ink.

The layer was adhered to Crumb Cake card stock and then added to a Whisper White card base.

Mixed Metallics

Hello Everyone,

Something non traditional for Christmas…. What about this? And it couldn’t be easier to make.

No card layers were used for this one, so I used the Stamparatus just in case the images didn’t stamp well the first time.

I actually positioned the sentiment first, inking this with Golden Glitz pigment ink.

The trees were stamped with Silvery Shimmer pigment ink – this definately benefitted from a second layer of ink.

And that is it! Nothing else added… Of course, that doesn’t stop you adding whatever embellishments you like!

Starry Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

This week I’ll be sharing some super simple cards that can be made quickly and easily.

For this card, the star is the most complicated element, but this can sped up using the Stamparatus if required.

For the two tone look, the decorative image was stamped first with Real Red ink.

The outline was stamped next with versamark and then heat embossed with gold powder.

The coordinating dies were used to cut the image.

The sentiment was added to a white card base with Real Red ink and the star adhered with dimensionals.

Snowy Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Look at this cute snowman! He’s so happy it’s Christmas!

A white card base was prepared by layering some Speciality Designer Series Paper on to the front.

Vellum was trimmed to 3 by 4-3/4 and secured to the centre of the card.

The snowman was stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with watercolour pencils. The coordinating punch was used to cut the image. His hat and arms were coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I mounted the snowman onto some Designer Series Paper and White card stock before adhering to the card.

Comfort and Joy

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another card using this stunning wreath from the Tidings All Around stamp set.

Shaded Spruce Ink was used to stamp the wreath which was then die cut.

Before adhering the wreath to the card, two of the additional sprigs were stamped with Crumb Cake Ink.

Golden Glitz ink was used to add the sentiment.

Every wreath needs a bow, so I used the Real Red Ruched Ribbon to tie a bow which was secured with a glue dot.

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my Inspire.Create challenge entry.

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 what I created!

I used Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the pine trees. Several generations of ink created depth.

I added some ribbon and adhered this to some Cherry Cobbler card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with gold ink and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die, which was then added with dimensionals.

Some epoxy dots completed the card.

No Sentiment Required

Hello Everyone,

Beauty & Joy is a stamp set that is easily overlooked in the Autumn Winter catalogue. I love this set!

I kept the card simple. The tree was stamped on to Whisper White card stock starting with the pot using Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Garden Green inks.

The image was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle and layered on to a Merry Merlot Stitched Rectangle.

A card base was made with Merry Merlot card stock. A Whisper White card layer was stamped with the tiny dots in the set using Crumb Cake ink.

The topper was added with dimensionals. I decided not to add a sentiment, so the image remained the focal point of the card.

Laser Cut Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I wanted to use the transparency of the laser cut cards as a feature.

It is not shown in the photos, but I started by adhering a 2 inch punched circle on the inside of the card to hide glue used on the front.

The layers for the topper added as follows;

Vellum cut with a Stitched Circle Die,
White Flax ribbon,
Very Vanilla card stock cut with 2-1/4 inch circle punch,
Gold foil card stock cut with the Starburst Punch,
Very Vanilla ard stock cut with the Timeless Label punch prestamped with Golden Glitz Delicata ink.
