Geared Up Garage

Welcome Ladies & Guys,

I needed a card for our grandson so this is the finished card.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Classic Garage 6”x6” DSP (#148482). I stamped the car from the Geared Up Garage stamp set (#cling148590) using Shaded Spruce ink (#147088), then cut it with the co-ordinating die from the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies (#148521). I attached this with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) over the same shape car on the DSP. Happy Birthday is from Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set (#143662), also stamped with Shaded Spruce ink on Whisper White card (#106549). The sentiment was cut with a Rectangle Stitched Framelits Die (#148551). I think these are my favourite dies at the moment. I used Shaded Spruce card (#147006) under the sentiment and Designer Series Paper. The gears were cut from Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) using dies from the Garage Gears Thinlits.

Have a great day.

Beach Happy and By The Bay

Hi,

Today I combined the Beach Happy stamp set (#p148585) with the By The Bay stamp set (#cling149739).

All the images are stamped on Whisper White card (#106549) using Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138), Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and So Saffron ink (#147109). The chair and umbrella are from Beach Happy stamp set, Happy Birthday is from the Itty Bitty Greetings (#c146667, #w146664) and the birds and shells are from the By The Sea stamp set (#cling149739). I used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551) to cut the rectangle with the chair & umbrella. The blue card is Balmy Blue (#147007).

By the Bay stamp set is one of the Sale-a-bration products. You still have till the end of March to get some free products, but don’t leave it till it’s too late as I would hate you to miss out.

Have a great day.

Dear Doily Bundle

Hello,

I have stamped the doilies from the Dear Doily stamp set (#cling148690), then cut a doily from the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies (#148553). These are also available together in  the Dear Doily Bundle (#150616).

The cardstock is Very Vanilla (#106549) and Flirty Flamingo (#141421). I stamped the doilies using the stamping off method, which means I stamped onto scrap paper first then onto the card to achieve a lighter image. I used Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). I adhered the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) to Flirty Flamingo card before cutting the doily, then this was attached to the card front. The butterfly from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (#p148580) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109131), then set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I attached the butterfly to the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The sentiment also from the Butterfly Gala stamp set was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink then cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551). With 13 framelits in this set I find them very versatile.  

Enjoy your day.

Let It Ride

Welcome friends,

The Let It Ride stamp set (#cling148765) has 3 horse images plus sentiments. The horses can just be stamped or you can add some extra colour with your favourite colouring products.

I chose to heat embossed the horse using VersaMark (#102283) and Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#109129), and set with the Heat Tool (#129056). I cut the circle in the Very Vanilla card front (#106550) with a die from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies (#141705). I also cut circles from  Grapefruit Grove card (#146995) with the Circle Framelits. The card front was then embossed with the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#147906). Before embossing, I applied Grapefruit Grove ink (#147142) with a Sponge Brayer (#141714) to one side of the embossing folder, then embossed as normal. This transfers the ink onto the card while embossing for a beautiful look. Happy Birthday is from the Balloon Celebration stamp set (#140675) and stamped with Grapefruit Grove ink. The 2 rectangles for the sentiment were cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551) and attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I stamped a border under the horse with an image from the Stitched All Around stamp set (#c146632, #w146629).

Have a great day.

Dear Doily Bundle

Welcome,

Have you seen the lovely Dear Doily Bundle (#cling 150616) in the Occasions catalogue. I can see so many possibilities with these for both cards and scrapbooking. I have teamed them up with the gorgeous Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper (#148586).

The base card is Fresh Fig (#144248). I have attached the DSP to a piece of Whisper White card (#106549). This particular piece of DSP is printed Vellum and looks very elegant. I have attached the DSP and white card together with Gold Brads from the Metallic Brads (#146929). I find using brads is the easiest way to attach Vellum to card. I cut 2 doilies with the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies (#148553) - one from Fresh Fig card and the other from Whisper White. I used the inside piece of the white to stamp the sentiment using Fresh Fig ink (#147144), attached this to the card then attached the outside Fresh Fig Doily. You can use the outside of the White Doily on another card. I had adhered the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet (#144106) to the Fresh Fig card and Whisper White card before cutting. The sentiment is from the Dear Doily stamp set (#cling148690). The fancy cutouts along the bottom of the card are also cut with the Doily Builder Framelits. 

Have a great day.

Beach Happy

Hi everyone,

How cute are these images in the Beach Happy stamp set (#p148585). Images include a chair & umbrella, palm tree, picnic basket and hat as well as Greetings and some of the images have 2 step stamping.

I have used Whisper White card (#106549) and Blueberry Bushel (#146991) as well as Gingham Gala 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#148554). This DSP has 5 different colours - Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather and Lemon Lime Twist. One side has a small check design, the other a larger check. The chair and umbrella were stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink (#147138). For the stripes on the chair I used Balmy Blue ink (#147105). The tree was stamped with Soft Suede ink (#147115) and Old Olive ink (#147090) and the basket with Soft Suede and Crumb Cake (#147116). I used the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (#148551) to cut the 3 pieces of Whisper White card. I cut the leaves of the tree and the basket by hand and attached these to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The sentiment was stamped with Blueberry Bushel. 

I hope you having a relaxed weekend - you deserve it!

Colourful Seasons

Hello again,

The technique I used for this card is the “Baby Wipes” technique. “An oldie but a goodie”. This works best with a solid stamp image like these leaves. All these images are from the Colorful Seasons stamp set (#p143726).

Firstly I stamped the sentiment using Soft Suede ink (#147115), then I stamped the outline of the leaves also with Soft Suede. Now to the Baby Wipes technique. Fold a baby wipe in half or quarters, and place on a plate or other flat surface. Add small amounts of Stampin’ Ink Refill randomly on the baby wipe. The ink will gradually spead, so if there are small gaps it won’t be a problem. I used Pear Pizzaz refill (#131160), Grapefruit Grove (#147181), Pineapple Punch (#147180) and So Saffron (#105225). When I inked each image I moved the stamp to a different area so the colours on the leaves were all in different places. Below is what the baby wipe looked like with the ink added.

The base card is Crushed Curry (#131288) and the cardfront is Very Vanilla (#106550). This is an easy technique but very effective. You will be able to make multiple cards with this. 

Enjoy your weekend.
