In Colour Medley

Hello Everyone,

It will soon be time to say a fond farewell to some of the current In Colours. So today, I have used three of them to make this card.

I love using grungy stamps to make backgrounds. I used Artisan Textures for this project.

Lemon Lime Twist ink was used for the base layer. This was adhered to a Tranquil Tide card base.

On the topper, Berry Burst ink ink was used for the large image. A smaller image was chosen and stamped with Tranquil Tide ink. This was layered on to Tranquil Tide card stock and added to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment from Perennial Birthday was stamped with Berry Burst ink and added across the topper.

Leaves from Tropical Chic were stamped with Tranquil Tide ink and die cut. These were tucked behind the sentiment strip.

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.Don’t miss out on these last chance items…. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

Especially for You

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to use my Stampin’ Blends for some relaxing colour therapy.

I picked this Bloom from the Botanical Bliss stamp set to work with.

Three flowers were stamped on to some Whisper White card stock with Memento Ink. Two others were added directly to a 3 by 4-3/4 inch card layer.

Each was coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Three of the images were fussy cut to add to the card later.

Old Olive ink was used to stamp the leaf sprigs on to the card layer which was matted on to some Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The sentiment was added next with Rich Razzleberry ink.

The Blooms were adhered with dimensionals and die cut sprigs were added in between for some texture.

The panel was finally adhered to Rich Razzleberry card base layered with Whisper White card stock 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.

Happiness

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another project using a retiring favourite. Anyone who knows me knows I love tea! So this set really appeals to me.

I started by stamping foliage around the edge of a Whisper White card layer using Gray Granite ink. This was layered on to Mango Melody card stock. This was adhered to a Night of Navy card base.

The tea cups, additional foliage and the greeting were stamped with Night of Navy ink and die cut. Dimensionals were used to adhere the elements to the card.

A trio of flowers were stamped with Mango Melody ink and added to the corner.

Some Wink of Stella Glitter finished the card.

Lots of Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen the Stamparatus tool? I couldn’t have made this card front without it!

I started at the bottom of the card stock, stamping first with Night Of Navy ink.

Keeping the card in place, the stamp plate was moved up on the hinge. I stamped the next row with Pacific Point twice.

The plate was moved up again, and stamped with Pacific Point once.

The next two levels were stamped without reinking the stamp.

The rest of the card was made by matting and layering with glimmer paper and Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper.

Petal Thanks

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project is about using up scraps. I had a bunch of Designer Series Paper strips left over from something else, (which you will see on Tuesday)!

The strips were trimmed slightly to 5-3/4 inches in length and adhered to a white card base.

A coordinating ink colour was used to stamp the bold sentiment from All Things Thanks. This was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die and adhered with dimensionals.

The same inks were used to stamp the flowers which were cut with the coordinating punch.

Lastly, some leaves were punched from vellum. These were slotted behind the flowers and secured with Multipurpose glue.

A Pretty Label was punched from Sahara Sand card stock and added with dimensionals.

The blooms from the Dear Doily set were stamped using the Stamparatus tool with Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst inks. I secured these to the card with Multipurpose glue.

A die cut bow was added along with some pearls to complete the card.

Best Thing

Hello Everyone,

The Wonderful Romance bundle was instantly a favourite of mine when I first saw it in the catalogue back in November.

I haven’t used many of the dies, so this card is all about die cutting!

I used a piece of this fabulous Designer Series Paper as a backdrop for the white die cuts.

The decorative strip was adhered first by using mini dimensionals under each of the leaves.

The sentiment was stamped with Mossy Meadow ink. I love this oval Die, which was also adhered with dimensionals.

The leaves are so delicate and have great embossed details. These were slotted in behind the oval with multipurpose glue.
