Inspire.Create #052

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 used the Modern Heart stamp set for my design, Stamping the outline with Gorgeous Grape and adding colour with Coastal Cabana. The panel was added to a Melon Mambo card base.

Melon Mambo Ink was used to stamp the sentiment which was cut with a 1-1/2 inch circle punch.

This was adhered to a 2″ circle of vellum and then to the card with dimensionals.

Gorgeous Grape glitter enamel dots 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.

Tidings All Round

Hello Everyone,

I love this wreath stamp set in the new catalogue! Teamed with the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper this makes a simple traditional card.

The card base was made with Whisper White card stock and layered with the DSP.

The wreath was stamped with Shaded Spruce ink and die cut. This, was adhered to a white layer with dimensionals before adding to the card.

The sentiment was added with Cherry Cobbler ink and cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I used “double dimensionals” to raise this in the centre of the wreath.

Finally, a scattering of gold pearls completed the card.

Proud of You

Hello Everyone,

Here’s a card to offer some encouragement to a loved one.

I am using products from the Nonle Peacock suite with Pretty Peacock ink.

I used the letterpress technique for the background of the topper panel. This is done by applying ink to the folder first. The ink transfers when it is rolled through a die cut machine.

The piece was layered on to Oretyy Peacock card stock, and adhered to a white card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut with a Stitched Square. I used dimensionals to add this to a larger vellum square.

A die cut feather and matching rhinestones completed the card.

Bloom with Happiness

Hello Everyone,

I just love this card! It’s the first time I have used Pocketful of Happiness… I think there will be more to come!

The flower and leaf are a single stamp. This was randomly stamped with Highland Heather Ink over a Whisper White card layer.

Some Wink of Stella Glitter was added to the outside edge of each flower.

The edge of the card stock was very gently touched on to the ink pad before adding to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink and cut with the Starburst Punch. A piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock was punched too and the two were layered together.

For added interest I adhered a Stitched circle cut from vellum to the card first, then added the sentiment with dimensionals.

The final touch were some epoxy drops added to the flower centres.

A Wonderful Couple

Hello Everyone,

Wedding season is in full swing and this card has been made with a special couple in mind.

The background layer was stamped with Verdant Garden and heat embossed with silver powder.

A vellum layer softened the background a little before adding a final layer of Whisper White. This had been stamped with the sentiment using Smoky Slate ink.

The large Magnolia was stamped and coloured with watercolour pencils. After die cutting the image, I applied versamark ink over the top and heat embossed it with clear powder to give a glazed effect.

Watercoloured Bricks and Mortar

Hello Everyone,

I had a bit of fun with a new 3D embossing folder for today’s project.

I used Stampin’ Sponges to apply ink to the inside of the Bricks & Mortar embossing folder and spritzed it lightly with water.

The folder was used as intended to emboss some watercolour paper. Once dry, I trimmed it down and added it to a black card base.

Because the card is about the backround I added a simple white embossed sentiment from the Perennial Birthday set.

A few frosted epoxy dots completed the card

Hello Everyone,

I was so pleased to be asked to make this piece as a house warming gift.

The gorgeous Noble Peacock foiled DSP was used as the background.

The white panel was die cut with a Stitched Nested Die and added to a Bermuda Bay mat and adhered in centre.

I used my Stamparatus to create the peacock with Night Of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green inks. The details were added with versamark and heat emboss in gold.

This was adhered to the Die cut Nested shape with dimensionals and then on to project.

Letters were die cut from Bermuda Bay card stock and positioned below the peacock. Feathers were cut from Pretty Peacock, Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green card stocks and added with liquid glue.

From the Bottom of my Heart

Hello Everyone,

Lots of colouring of one sort or another going on in today’s card.

I began by preparing the background panel.

I used my grid paper to line up some post it note masks so I could add ink to this portion. I did this with a sponge and Highland Heather ink.

Leaving the post it notes in place, I secured a pattern mask over the top and added more Highland Heather ink. I then added versamark to the inked section, peeled away the post it notes and embossed with clear powder.

The florals are from the Bloom and Grow set. These were stamped three times with Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The coloured images were die cut and then manually cut apart to create the large spray of flowers. I used a mix of dimensionals and liquid glue to add texture.

Finally, the sentiment was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut with the Timeless Label punch and Wink of Stella Glitter was added to the larger flowers.

Keeping it Simple – Part 5

Hello Everyone,

If you follow my blog you will have seen that I have doing a series of simple cards with minimal supplies.

The card base was made with Whisper White card stock.

I added a smaller panel layered with Rick Razzleberry card stock with Polka Dot Tulle tied around the middle.

On some scrap card, I stamped some leaves. I cut two portions with the Tailored Tag Punch. I also stamped and punched the sentiment.

The pieces were positioned a bit like a jigsaw puzzle around the knot of the ribbon using dimensionals.

A few rhinestones finish the card!

Inspire.Create #050

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 what I created!

As you can see, I opted to change the circle to a star….. I have been itching to use the new So Many Stars Bundle!

I prepared a Night of Navy card base and added to this a white layer stamped with the tiny stars in the set using Pacific Point Ink.

A smaller panel was masked off with post it notes and inked with Pacific Point. Stars were stamped over the top with versamark and embossed with clear powder.

The section was inked again, this time with Night Of Navy. Additional stars were embossed with white powder.

The sentiment was added with Pacific Point Ink. The panel was matted with Night Of Navy card stock and adhered to the base with dimensionals.

A large star was stamped and die cut and adhered to the card with dimensionals. A few adhesive sequins completed the card.

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

Pretty Pink Peacock

Hello Everyone,

I thought I would do something different with the Royal Peacock.

I switched up the colours and used Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo to stamp the peacock.

The details were added with versamark and embossed with copper powder.

I cut a Nested Label from a white card layer and added to a Melon Mambo card base.

The peacock was adhered to the Label with dimensionals. This in turn was repositioned on the card also with dimensionals.

A heat embossed sentiment and some Die cut Feathers completed the card.
