Cardmaking – Page 53 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

Bronzed Mandala #FMS362

Good Morning,

Here’s this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge entry.

The design team have made some fantastic samples. See them here.

I couldn’t resist using some glimmer paper as the background layer on this card.

For the topper, the large motif was stamped with Mango Melody ink.

Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie inks were used to stamp the smaller images. These were die cut with the coordinating thinlits.

The sentiment was added towards the bottom of the topper.

Dimensional adhesive was used to adhere the layers to the card base.

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

Quick Christmas card set

Hi Everyone,

Today I thought I would share this little set of cards. I made 5 of them in total.

I began by Stamping the large background stamp from the Beautiful Blizzard set along the score line of these narrow note cards with Balmy Blue ink.

Blueberry Bushel ink was used to add snowflakes to the cards and envelopes. I also stamped the sentiment on to strips of white card stock.

Two Die cut snowflakes were adhered to each of the cards with Multipurpose glue. A rhinestone was added to the centres.

Blizzard of Wishes #FMS361

Good Morning,

We have made to Friday once again so here is this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge entry.

As always you can see inspiration from the design team here

I just had to use the new Snow is Glistening stamp set and Snowfall dies for this project.

I chose a pink and silver colour scheme, I think it worked really well.

First, I stamped the small snowflake cluster across a white card layer and adhered this to a white card base.

A 2 by 4 inch piece of glimmer paper was added on the right hand side.

The flurry Die was used to cut white card stock. Liquid glue secured this in place.

The sentiment was then stamped on to strip of card stock which I added with dimensionals.

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

Positive Thoughts #GDP162

Hello Everyone,

A day later than usual, but here is my entry for the Global Design Project.

I opted for the Happiness Surrounds stamp set, but using wintry colours. I really like the sentiments in this set too.

The background was stamped first, using Balmy Blue and Soft Sea Foam inks. This was adhered to a Blueberry Bushel card base.

The banners were cut from scraps. On the white piece, I stamped the large motif in Soft Sea Foam ink.

The sentiment was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and punched out.

I added an extra die cut flower and leaves. A rhinestone was placed in the centre.

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

Snowy Tree

Good Morning,

Tomorrow sees the launch of limited edition products, available during November only.

Today I have used this lovely snowflake tree to make little cards with matching envelopes.

The cards themselves are the cute narrow note cards. The tree fitted perfectly.

To make sure the images were the same on each card, I used my Stamparatus tool.

First, I positioned the trunk, and used Crumb Cake ink. On the other plate, I positioned the tree, which I stamped with Call Me Clover ink. Using the tool meant I could make up all the cards very quickly, perfect for batch making.

Shaded Spruce ink was used for the sentiment.

The envelopes were stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink.

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.

Snowfall

Hello Everybody,

Here is another look at the upcoming limited edition products available from 1st November 2018.

There are so many dies in the collection, making it so easy to create a beautiful snowy scene.

Pool Party ink was used to stamp the tiny snowflakes on a Whisper White card base and card layer.

The layer was then matted with some Blueberry Bushel card stock and adhered to the card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink and trimmed to size. The width matched that of the card layer. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

A number of snowflakes were die cut and adhered with Multipurpose glue.

Finally, a small bow was added to the bottom of the card.

Coming Soon…..

Hi Everyone,

I have exciting news. 1st November sees the release of limited edition stamps and dies.

As a demonstrator, I have been able to purchase this early, and as you know, I adore snowflakes for Christmas card making.

This is the idea I am sharing today using a non traditional colour scheme.

First, I stamped the small snowflake cluster across the card using versamark ink and heat embossed with clear powder.

Soft Sea Foam ink was applied over the top with a sponge dauber.

The sentiment was also stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink and cut with the Everyday Label Punch.

The large snowflake was die cut from Whisper White card stock. I then embellished with faceted dots.

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

Good Morning,

I love a colour challenge. Here’s this week’s Global Design Project’s selection.

See what the design team have made here

I am not generally a fan of yellow, so the Crushed Curry card stock has been pushed back behind the main card layer.

Leaves from the Colourful Season stamp set were added down the side of the panel. First, second and third generation ink added texture.

Pumpkin Pie card stock was cut with the Thank You Thinlit. A circle of vellum was put under the sentiment to lift it from the background.

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

Just Add Ink #431 Sketch Challenge

Good Morning,

Another sketch challenge coming at ya today courtesy of the Just Add Ink team.

You can see what the design team have made on the blog here

So….. I decided to put a “twist” on the sketch, mainly because I didn’t like the origin orientation with the design I chose.

I began by embossing a card layer with the Curls and Swirls embossing folder, and adhering this to a white card base.

A 1-1/4 inch strip of Frosted Floral DSP was adhered to some white card stock. Half a pearlized doily was then added to the back. The strip was then added to the card with dimensionals.

The additional elements were stamped with Mint Macaron or Highland Heather inks and Die cut with the coordinating Framelits. These were secured with a mix of Multipurpose glue and dimensionals.

Some basic adhesive sequins finished the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

The supplies used are listed below.

The panel was adhered with dimensionals.

The word “holidays” was die cut from glimmer paper… I forgot to add sticky sheet to mine, so used Multipurpose glue to add this to the card.
