Birthday Card using the Beauty Abounds stamp set

Hello Everyone,

This card has been inspired by the technique used by Ruth at Artful Stampin’… she has loads of videos on creating backgrounds in this style. I hope she approves of the colours I chose!

The background was created with the Beauty Abounds stamp set. The sentiment was borrowed from Zany Zebras.

See how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I’m really pleased with how this turned out. If you give this a go I’d love to see your creations

May SU Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I made this card ages ago and completely forgot to share it!

I have to different ink blending methods to create this project.

I also used the amazing Tropic Chic stamp set which is sadly retiring. To achieve the gradient colour on the leaves, I used the Stamparatus tool, inking and stamping each image twice.

Here is video showing how to create a blended background!

Laurie’s Card

Hello Everyone,

I designed a card last week for a colour challenge that I was really pleased with, so when I realised it was a good friends birthday coming up I knew I wanted to make it again.

The original colours consisted of 2 neutrals to which I added a contrasting bright colour.

For this combo I chose Smoky Slate and Merry Merlot from the neutrals. I opted for Mango Melody as the contrasting colour.

I started by preparing a Smoky Slate card base and cutting Merry Merlot and Whisper White card stock layers.

The sentiment was stamped withe Merry Merlot ink and cut out with a Stitched So Sweetly die. This was adhered to vellum also cut with a die.

Before adhering the layers to the base, Smoky Slate ink was used to stamp the foliage. The layers were adhered together and added to the card with dimensionals.

The sentiment was added next, also with dimensionals.

Finally, the flowers were stamped with Mango Melody ink and punched. The petals were shaped before securing to 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.

More Honey Bees

Hello Everyone,

I couldn’t resist making another card with the Honey Bee bundle and Golden Honey DSP.

The card is made in a very similar way to one of my previous posts.

The topper was made by first cutting Crushed Curry card stock with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. A piece of white card stock was cut to size and adhered to the panel.

The sentiment was stamped next with black ink and also cut with a So Sentimental die.

The hive and bees were stamped and die cut with the coordinating dies.

The elements were positioned on the card before committing to adhering them to the card with dimensionals.

Mountain Air

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card features the Mountain Air bundle. I love the samples that pictured in the catalogue and couldn’t wait to try it out.

I also combined it with a Facebook colour challenge.

I stared by stamping the mountains with Sahara Sand ink, followed by the tree line with Cajun Craze ink.

Some Balmy Blue and Sahara Sand inks were were lightly sponged over the top and bottom respectively. This was emphasised by layering the panel on to Whisper White card stock.

Pretty Peacock ink was used to stamp the trees which were cut with the coordinating dies.

The pieces were adhered to a Balmy Blue card base.

A simple sentiment from the Label Me Bold stamp set completed the card.

Timeless Friendship

Hello Everyone,

Wouldn’t it be nice to be somewhere with palm trees right now? Hopefully warmer weather will be with us soon.

I have used the Timeless Tropical bundle and coordinating Tropical Oasis designer series paper for today’s project.

I picked out this Bird of Paradise design as the background. To this I added panels of Lovely Lipstick and Whisper White card stock.

The sentiment was stamped on to strip of card stock with Pretty Peacock ink and added to the base with dimensionals.

Three sets of palm trees were stamped and die cut. These were added behind the sentiment strip, some flat, and some with dimensionals.

Inspire.Create #064

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a 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!

My choice of colour was Lovely Lipstick. I thought this would add some contrast to the otherwise neutral pallette.

The base card was prepared using Crumb Cake card stock. Layers of Night of Navy and White were cut with Stitched Rectangle dies.

I picked a bold sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set. This was cut with the coordinating die. Before sticking this down, I first added foliage images from the Pop of Petals stamp set and Crumb Cake ink.

Three flowers were stamped with Lovely Lipstick ink and cut with the coordinating punch.

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