Cardmaking – Page 49 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

One Leaf

Hello Everyone,

Something very simple to share with you today.

Soft Sea Foam is one of my favourite Stampin’ UP! colours. I used this to stamp the leaf which was then die cut.

This adhered to a vellum circle with dimensionals.

On a white card base, I stamped a splatter image front Timeless Textures. Crumb Cake ink was used to add the sentiment.

The vellum circle was then adhered to the card, also with 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.

More Blended Blooms

Hello Everybody,

I loved making yesterday’s card, so here’s another using similar supplies.

This time I chose the large oval sentiment which was stamped with Soft Sea Foam Ink.

I added some of the larger flowers to this card, coloured with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The composition meant I needed to trim down my usual card base so the images were central.

Blended Florals

Good Morning,

I love using florals in my cardmaking and I love this stamp set and matching Framelits.

The images were stamped in Memento Ink so that they may be coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers. These were die cut ready to add to the card.

An additional die cut was adhered to a white card base over which the sentiment was added.

The flowers were then adhered around the sentiment using dimensionals.

Tropical Sketch

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is inspired by a sketch challenge set by Ian Potter

I have adjusted the measurements to suit my design.

A sentiment from the coordinating stamp bundle was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink.

Additional leaves were die cut from the DSP sheets and layered below the sentiment.

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

Just Black & White

Good Morning,

Today’s project is a Facebook challenge entry….. The theme is black and white.

I went straight to the free Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper knowing there were a number of black and white designs.

I adhered the paper to a Whisper White card base.

The white panel was stamped with Timeless Textures before adding to the card.

The sentiments were selected from the Rooted in Nature stamp set. A 2-1/4 inch circle punch was used to cut the largest, whilst the other was stamped straight on to a narrow strip of card. These were adhered with dimensionals.

The flowers were stamped and punched and were added to the card along with some sequins.

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.

Twinkling Inspiration #GDP174

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to this week’s Global Design Project challenge entry.

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

And this is my card….

The base is made with Night of Navy card stock.

Some Twinkle Twinkle DSP was cut to size. A one inch strip of Vellum was secure along the middle. Night of Navy twine was then wrapped around this before adhering to the base.

For the sentiment, I used the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Part of my Story. This was stamped with Balmy Blue ink and Die cut with a Stitched Shape Framelit.

A scalloped oval of Vellum was die cut and the sentiment layered on top. I used dimensionals to add this to the card.

Finally, I added a double bow tied from the Night of Navy twine.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Inspire.Create #035

Hi Everyone,

It’s time for a new challenge from Inspire.Create.

This time it’s a sketch challenge. As always there are plenty of ideas from the Design Team. See them here

This is my card for the challenge.

I used Mint Macaron ink to stamp the base card with an image from the Dragonfly Dreams set. I cut a Doily and adhered this with Multipurpose glue.

A strip of Share What You Love Designer Series Paper was added across the middle.

The sentiment was stamped with Tranquil Tide ink and added with dimensionals.

Three Bitty Blooms were punched and decorated with rhinestones.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Birthday Cupcakes

Hello Everyone,

I love how this card turned out, pretty and simple design but really effective.

The card base was built from Whisper White card stock. A smaller panel adhered to black card stock before adding to the base.

The cupcakes and sentiment were stamped on to a separate sheet and allowed to dry.

Each cake was coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen then cut out with a 1-1/2 inch circle punch. Dimensionals were used to add them to the card. An extra dimensional was put behind the centre one for extra depth.

The sentiment was trimmed down and also added with dimensionals.

InspireINK Blog Hop – Romance

Good Morning,

Welcome to January’s InspireINK blog hop. This month we are getting romantic with our theme….

As always please click the next button at the bottom of this post to carry on hopping through the other projects.

My project uses the Dear Doily bundle…. It is Pink but there’s not a heart in sight.

To make the background, I heat embossed the small doily image across the bottom corner of the card.

Pink inks were added over the top. The embossed areas resist the ink.

The larger portion of the sentiment was added with Lovely Lipstick ink.

Using the Stamparatus, two of the florals were stamped with Granny Apple Green and Lovely Lipstick inks. These were die cut and adhered to the card.

The second portion of the sentiment was then added over the top of stems with a small Die cut element underneath.

Green Swirl Birthday

Hello Everyone,

This card I made for an Irish friend who loves green.

And if green isn’t your colour, this design can easily be made in colours to suit your taste.

I like building backgrounds with different colour inks. The Swirly Bird stamp set is perfect for this.

I started with the largest image, stamped in the lightest colour, Soft Sea Foam. Stamping in threes is generally pleasing to the eye too.

The smaller images were added in the other colours, finishing with the splatter that was stamped with the darkest colour, Shaded Spruce.

Shaded Spruce was also used for the sentiment. This was added to over hang the layers behind the background panel.

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.

Lovely Day #GDP173

Good Morning Everybody,

The Global Design Project challenge this week is a sweet colour challenge.

As always there is plenty of inspiration from the Design Team on their blog. You can see them here!

And this is my project.

I have to say So Saffron is not one of my favourite colours, but a challenge is a challenge and I was pleased with the end result.

I started by picking out the stamp set I wanted to work with… The pink and green led me to Flowers so I chose Forever Lovely.

Flowers and leaves were die cut and put to one side while I composed the rest of the card.

I opted to use So Saffron for the sentiment. The card stock was trimmed down and corners rounded. I added the hearts to the background to lift the sentiment, which I adhered with dimensionals.

The white layer was added to Soft Sea Foam card stock, and then to a So Saffron card base.

Finally, I added the flowers and leaves. Some used double height dimensionals for extra depth.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Butterfly Thanks

Hello Everyone,

I almost made a one layer card….. But then I thought my dimensionals would feel left out!

I have used the Beauty Abounds stamp set again today, I just love it, and this time I used some of the dies too.

The large floral image was stamped first with Coastal Cabana Ink.

Two stamped butterflies were added with Bermuda Bay ink. The sentiment was punched separately using the Classic Label Punch.

The tiny butterflies were die cut from Bermuda Bay card stock and adhered with multipurpose glue. A few white sequins completed the card.

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

Blooming Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone,

My project today is an entry for a Facebook sketch challenge.

This was the perfect opportunity to use the Stitched Rectangles Framelits.

Once I planned out my layers, I opted to use some designer series paper. I chose this fun pattern from Happiness Blooms. From here I chose Pineapple Punch card stock for the card base.

The focal image and sentiment come from the Amazing Life stamp set.

I used Blueberry Bushel ink and added the strip with dimensionals.

The cake was coloured with watercolor pencils.

Spring Summer Card Swap

Hello Everyone,

With each new catalogue there are more wonderful products to choose for your paper craft projects.

To share some inspiration, some of us demonstrators do a card swap.

These aren’t exactly the same as the ones I sent, I forgot to take photos of those…. So I remade them with 2018 in colours, the originals were in 2017 in colours.

The Stamping is all done using the Beauty Abounds set… I love those bokeh dots.

I thought the sentiment was fitting too as we are all friends in the Stampin’ Up! community.

I added the butterflies using the Butterfly Duet punch and adhered them with a glue dot.

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

The Great Card Swap

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing a card I sent out as part of a swap group. The theme was “congratulations”.

I chose a simple design using the Well Said bundle allowing the sentiment to remain the focal point.

A splatter image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set was used to add colour to the background, increasing the intensity around where the sentiment would be positioned.

Three sets of leaves were die cut from white card stock and adhered with Multipurpose glue. The panel was added to a Gray Granite card base.

Night of Navy ink was used to stamp the sentiment. This was adhered over the bottom edge of Die cuts using dimensionals.

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