Toile Tidings

Hello Everyone,

It seems that we are already hurtling through November so during this busy period quick cards are the order of the day.

These feature the Toile Tidings papers in traditional Real Red and, Garden Green.

The card base was made the coordinating card stock colour.

The Designer Series Paper was layered on to a Very Vanilla card layer and then to the card base with snail adhesive.

I picked out a, sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set. Matching ink was used to stamp on to Whisper White card stock in contrast to the Vanilla.

The sentiment was cut with a 1-1/2 inch circle punch and adhered to a 2-1/4 inch circle of vellum. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

A bow was tied from matching ribbon and secured with glue dots.

This is the Garden Green version. On this card I moved the sentiment to the side and added some metallic pearls.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Inspire.Create #054

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

And this is what I created!

This challenge was the perfect excuse to use the Christmas Layers Die.

I originally thought I would use white on white but the detail didn’t shine as much as I wanted.

Instead I chose a super bright background and sponged the card stock with Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment was also stamped with Melon Mambo Ink.

Stitched Rectangles dies were used to cut the sentiment and some vellum.

These were adhered with dimensionals and embellished with Melon Mambo glitter enamel dots.

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.

Snowy Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Look at this cute snowman! He’s so happy it’s Christmas!

A white card base was prepared by layering some Speciality Designer Series Paper on to the front.

Vellum was trimmed to 3 by 4-3/4 and secured to the centre of the card.

The snowman was stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with watercolour pencils. The coordinating punch was used to cut the image. His hat and arms were coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I mounted the snowman onto some Designer Series Paper and White card stock before adhering to the card.

The sentiment was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and added with dimensionals.

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.

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

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.

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

So Much to Love

Hello Everyone,

Today I am using die cuts to create a faux embossed look.

The die I have used for the background is from the Wild Rose set. It was cut 4 times and adhered to the card evenly spaced. The overhanging pieces were then trimmed away.

I picked out a sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set. This was heat embossed with silver powder and cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

I didn’t like the sentiment on the card as it was, so I added a layer of vellum behind it which looked much better.

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

Wonderful Rococo Rose

Hello Everyone,

Do you like the flowers I have used on my card today?

Read on to find out how I made them.

I started by making a Whisper White card base and embossed it with the Subtle embossing folder.

The background leaves were cut from vellum using a die from the, Well Written Die set.

I chose the sentiment from the Rooted in Nature stamp set and cut this with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

For the flowers I first cut circles with the Scalloped circle punches. The circles were then cut again using the Medium Daisy Punch.

The smaller flower was adhered to the larger one and a Rococo Rose faceted gem was added to the centre.

Some Soft Sea Foam leaves completed the card.

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.

Rich Razzleberry card stock, Share What You Love paper and vellum were cut in to 2 inch squares.

These were adhered to a Crumb Cake card base starting with the Rich Razzleberry at the top and bottom. I then added the DSP. The Vellum square was added in the centre.

Old Olive ink was used to stamp the sentiment which was cut with the Everyday Label Punch.

Rich Razzleberry card stock was used to cut some leaves which were tuck in under the label. A few pearls were added to finish the card.
