Die Cutting – Page 17 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

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.

The background features the beautiful Tropical Escape DSP.

The pieces were trimmed to size. The uppermost layer measuring 3 inches wide.

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.

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.

Pretty in Pink

Hello,

Well today is my birthday! And I have the pleasure of sharing it with my friend, and this is the card I gave her.

I had to chose Flirty Flamingo as the base colour…. She loves flamingoes!

I added the beatiful Edgelit along the bottom.

The greeting was taken from the Lemon Zest stamp set and stamped with Melon Mambo ink. This fitted perfectly in to a Stitched Rectangle die.

Three little butterflies were punched out and added to the top, wings slightly lifted for extra movement.

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.

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.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Those Who Inspire Us

Good Morning Folks,

Today I am combining a Sale-a-bration freebie with one of my annual catalogue favourites.

If you do not know what Sale-a-bration is all about click below to see more about the offers available.

I built this project by starting with this great sentiment. This comes from “Part of my Story” Sale-a-bration stamp set.

This was stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and Die cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit. A Scalloped Layering Oval Die made the card stock layer.

The card base was made with Lovely Lipstick card stock. Ribbon was wrapped around the white layer before adhering to the base. The prepared sentiment was added usind dimensionals.

The Pop of Petals stamp set was used to add some greenery to the background. Three flowers were stamped & punched. These were secured in position with glue dots.

Finally, some leaves were punched from Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Glitter Enamel dots completed the card.

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

Colourful Butterflies

Hello Everyone,

Today I am having a play with these three great Stampin’ Up! colours in a Facebook colour challenge.

I started by preparing a white card base, Stamping the background with Touches of Textures.

Lovely Lattice

Hello Everyone,

I made today’s card using a stamp set I received for FREE as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration event.

It’s called Lovely Lattice and can be chosen as a free item when you place an order of £45.

The image was stamped on to Vellum with versamark ink and embossed with white powder.

I coloured on the reverse with Stampin’ Blends for a faux parchment effect.

As vellum is tricky to stick down I used an adhesive sheet. I cut this with the new layering rectangle dies.

A simple sentiment stamped with Old Olive ink completed the card.

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.

Dear Doily

Hello Everyone,

This post introduces the beautiful Dear Doily bundle.

I began by preparing a Whisper White card base. A 3 by 4-3/4 panel was layered on to some Gorgeous Grape card stock and added to the card.

The large doily was die cut and adhered in the bottom right corner.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp three of the florals. Ink was applied to the stamp with sponge daubers. The images were die cut and adhered with mini dimensionals.

For the sentiment, I first stamped a small doily using Smoky Slate ink (stamped off). Gorgeous Grape ink was then used to add the wording. This was cut with a 1-1/2 inch circle punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below. Some products will be be available from 5th January 2019.

Me to You

Hello Everyone,

For today’s post I have used the Time for Tea bundle.

I started by stamping the leaves along the left hand edge of a panel of Whisper White card stock using Smoky Slate ink. This was coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen.

The panel was adhered to Balmy Blue card stock and then to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Balmy Blue ink and die cut.

The tea cup was stamped and coloured as the leaves were. This was also die cut and adhered with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Tropical Christmas #FMS366

Hi Everyone,

Here’s my entry for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge set by Cecile.

The design team projects can be seen here

And here is my design…..

I have broken out my Tropical Chic stamp set again and added some festive flair with the colour scheme.

Real Red ink was used to add the stripes to the background.

The leaves were stamped with Call Me Clover ink and die cut. Each was curled slightly and secured with a single dimensional.

The sentiment was taken from the Timeless Tidings stamp set. I thought this looked cute lying across the card at angle, this way it does not obscure the background design.

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

Hello Everybody,

Today’s post is my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge this week…..

…. And this week is a colour challenge. You can see inspiration from the design team here

I have used the First Frost bundle to create my project.

I started by stamping with Sahara Sand Ink directly on to a small Memories & More card.

The sentiment was added with versamark ink and then heat embossed with copper powder.

The foliage and flowers were stamped separately and die cut.

Liquid Multipurpose glue was used to secure the leaves,whilst dimensionals were used behind the flowers.

I loved the design… So I made 4 more!
