hand made cards – Page 9 – Stampin' with inkybutterfly

For You

Hello Everyone,

How do you like this colour combination? This was quite accidental but think it looks great.

The process started with the wreath which was stamped with Garden Green ink. The leaves were watercoloured using Sof Sea Foam and Old Olive ink.

The bidr was stamped with Pacific Point ink. A Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen pulled the colour from the outline to colour the image.

Both were allowed to dry before fussy cutting them out.

The background panel was layered with Pacific Point card stock and embossed with the Layered Leaves folder.

The fussy cut pieces were added with dimensionals with a tiny sentiment tag tucked in underneath.

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.

Free as a Bird Thank You card

Hello Everyone,

So I admit it…. I have been avoiding using this set. At launch there were so many lovely things being made with this set, but now I want to share a card with you.

It’s nothing fancy but like how it turned out.

I started with main image which I stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I used a reference image to make my birds in to bluetits.

I die cut the image with a Nested Die and also cut the small thank you sentiment.

Leaves were stamped and coloured on a card layer before adhering the birds 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.

Inspire.Create #049

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my 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!

I prepared a Basic Grey card base and added a white card layer.

A smaller layer was used to stamp a background with Pool Party Ink using the Verdant Garden stamp set. This was matted on to more Basic Grey card stock and adhered to the card base.

Mango Melody ink was used to stamp the floral from the To a Wild Rose stamp set. The centre portion was stamped again and layered onto the first.

The sentiment was stamped with Basic Grey ink and tucked behind the flower.

As finishing touches, I added some die cut leaves, frosted epoxy dots and some Wink of Stella Glitter.

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.

Time to Shine

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card uses ink blending to create a background.

Sponge daubers were used to apply three shades of ink to a card layer. This was allowed to dry completely.

The leaf from the Daisy Lane stamp set was stamped with versamark ink and embossed using clear powder.

The sentiment was stamped on to vellum and embossed with white powder and wrapped around the blended panel.

This was then matted on to white card stock and adhered to a white card base with dimensionals.

Blissful Future

Hello Everyone,

I really love using coordinating punches with stamps to make dimensional elements for my cards.

Today I am using the Floral Essence bundle.

Blushing Bride Ink was used to stamp the petals and punched. A ball tool was used to shape each part before adhering together with Multipurpose glue.

I also stamped and punched some leaves.

A pearlized doily was added to a white card base. The sentiment was stamped with Basic Gray ink and adhered with dimensionals.

The flowers were added next overlapping the sentiment, followed by the leaves.

A clear faceted gem was placed in the centre of the flowers to complete the card.

Keeping it Simple – Part 3

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another keep it simple card….

This time I have added a punch to the supply list and used a simple stamping technique to get more from a single ink pad.

The background panel has been stamped with second generation ink…. This means inking the stamp, stamping on to scrap card and then using the second impression on the project. This gives a lighter shade without buying extra ink colours.

The Tailored Tag Punch was used to cut the sentiment.

Embossed Delightful Birthday

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would get my embossing powders out today to create these simple stamping cards.

For the background stamping I used the Artisan Textures stamp set with a trio of ink colours, working from light to dark.

An embossing buddy ensured the ink was completely dry before adding the sentiment with versamark ink.

Embossing powder was sprinkled over the stamped sentiment and heated until melted.

The toppers were adhered to white card bases with dimensionals.

Garden of Life

Hello Everyone,

I love the colour palette that made this card…. Rococco Rose fits in perfectly.

I used A Big Thank You to stamp the background and layered this on to Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The sentiment was cut using the Pretty Label Punch.

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

I have used the Beautiful Day stamp set for a simple feminine card.

The butterfly was coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen.

The image is easy to cut out. The wings were shaped with a bone folder. Dimensionals were placed behind the wings to keep the shape.

For a multi coloured sentiment, the stamp was inked with Stampin’ Write Markers.

Keeping it Simple – Part 2

Hello Everyone,

You may well remember a recent post where I used minimal supplies – Keeping it simple.

Today’s card uses the same products, but added coloured card stock and an extra embellishment.

I stamped the leaves first overlapping the edges of a small card layer. This was adhered to Rich Razzleberry card stock.

The Tulle ribbon was added toward the bottom and tied in a knot.

This topper was adhered using dimensionals to a Rich Razzleberry card base pre-prepared by adding a white card layer.

The sentiment was stamped next on to a strip of card stock and adhered with dimensionals.

Some scattered rhinestones added some bling to complete the card.

Hello Everyone,

I don’t know about you, but I am super busy at the moment… So making quick cards is the order of the day.

Using Designer Series Paper is a perfect way to do this!

I picked this lovely photo realistic design from the Pressed Petals collection.

This was layered on to some Whisper White card stock and Polka Dot Tulle ribbon was tied in a knot. I adhered this layer to a white card base.

A simple sentiment was added using the Darling Label punch box and Merry Merlot ink.

Birthday Sails

Hello Everyone,

I hope you has a great weekend!

Today’s project features the Lilypad Lake stamp set with a sentiment from Well Said.

I wanted a soft colour palette so I stamped the outline of the boats with Basic Grey ink. The sails were coloured with Stampin Blends markers.

Pool Party ink was used to stamp the ‘water’ on to a card layer.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut and adhered to the card first, followed by the boats, using dimensionals.

In My Thoughts

Hello Everyone,

I really love the simplicity of this faceted heart. Last time I used it, I “coloured” the heart with the accompanying brushstroke image. This time I wanted to colour the image with my Stampin’ Blends.

I opted for a Pool Party colour theme, stamping the image with with Classic ink first.

I then coloured each section with my Markers, deciding where peaks and troughs would be.

I had to add some Wink of Stella for some extra bling.

The sentiment was added below the heart.

The panel was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. A larger rectangle was cut from Pool Party card stock.

The layers were finally adhered to a Whisper White card base.

Inspire.Create #047

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a sketch challenge.

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

And this is my card…

The sketch reminded me of the sun so I cut a circle from some scrap paper and used it as a stencil.

I added Daffodil Delight ink first, working from the edge of the stencil to the centre. I then moved to Pumpkin Pie and then a touch of Poppy Parade around the edges.

To continue the tropical sunset feel, I chose to add the palm trees from the Friend Like You stamp set using Memento Ink. The sentiment in the set fitted in nicely too.

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