Birthday Bugs!

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would try something clean and Simple with fun Wiggle Worm stamp set for today’s project.

The bugs were stamped with Memento Ink so I could colour them with Stampin’ Blends.

I used the coordinating dies to cut the out the images.

On a Whisper White card base, I stamped the happy birthday greeting in Bermuda Bay Ink.

The insects were then adhered with mini dimensionals.

Best of Friends

Hello Everyone,

Using Designer Series Paper is a fast way to make impactful cards.

The Bird Ballad collection needs little by way of embellishments.

I added a sentiment which had been heat embossed with white powder on black card stock.

For some extra interest, I stamped flowers and coloured them with Stampin’ Blends. The colour lifter helped achieve a soft blend.

Simply Wonderful

Hello Everyone,

I really love to use my Stampin’ Blends and this floral image is perfect to use with them.

Line images were stamped with water based Memento Ink. This will not bleed when the image is coloured with solvent based Markers.

I find that the blending is easier when a layer of light ink is laid down first. Then add in the shading and blend the lines out with a lighter colour.

I added the sentiment with dimensionals and layered the card front with Old Olive and Mango Melody card stock.

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.

More Blended Blooms

Hello Everybody,

I loved making yesterday’s card, so here’s another using similar supplies.

This time I chose the large oval sentiment which was stamped with Soft Sea Foam Ink.

I added some of the larger flowers to this card, coloured with Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The composition meant I needed to trim down my usual card base so the images were central.

Just Because

Hello Everyone,

I fancied doing some colouring today so I pulled out this lovely hostess stamp set.

Choose this set when you host a party or place an order of £150 or more…… And, during Sale-a-bration get extra rewards on orders over £200.

I stamped the main image with Memento Ink. This is a ware based ink so it won’t bleed when the image is coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

The blending was achieved by starting with the lightest colour, adding the shading and then blending with the light colour again. Work in small sections while the ink is still wet for best results.

The coloured panel was then matted on to Mango Melody card stock and adhered to a Cajun Craze card base.

Three Wise Men

Hello & Happy Sunday,

Today I am using the Illuminated Christmas stamp set and doing some ink blending.

I started by heat embossing the star in the top corner.

Sponge daubers were used to blend in the background, beginning with So Saffron for the star and working through Pool Party, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy inks. A chalk marker was used to add some other tiny “stars” in the sky.

The three Kings were stamped and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. A stitched circle was used to die cut the image.

The final step was to add the sentiment. This was done simply by stamping in black ink, trimming to size and adhering with dimensionals.

Three Boats #GDP158

Hi there Everyone,

It’s Wednesday, so it’s time for a Global Design Project challenge.

This week is a sketch challenge and as usual the design team have made some wonderful projects to inspire us. See them all here!

I have pulled out the Lilypad Lake bundle. I liked the idea of having three little boats across the card.

I chose a neutral card base of Sahara Sand. A piece of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper was adhered to the base with SNAIL adhesive.

Sahara Sand ink was used to stamp the water on to a strip of Whisper White card stock. Some silver baker’s twine was tied around the piece before adding to the card with dimensionals.

The boats were stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends markers to complement the paper in the background.

The sentiment was also stamped with Memento Ink and cut in to strips.

Some adhesive backed sequins were added to the background.

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