Using Stampin' Up's Love is Kindness to make a Red Tulips Card

Hello,

Today's card is another from this weeks class. I love this individual stamp sharing this wrapped bunch of tulips. I've just checked and it seems it will be leaving us when the new catalogue launches on the 2nd June so if you need it please get it ordered before then! I promise you won't be sorry, its so pretty and nice to colour :-) To see more designs using this stamp set please CLICK HERE and if you scroll down the posts there are actually a couple of tutorials in this batch of cards ;-)

OK, on to today's card. I actually started this design with the ribbon, I purchased this 10 yard ribbon roll from the clearance rack for the bargain price of just £2.49! It was another Christmas catalogue but as you can see this ribbon is for life, not just for Christmas!!

 We stamped the tulips (minus the sentiment) in Staz On ink then coloured with blender pens and Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Smoky Slate ink pads

This ribbon makes nice bows too, there were lots of bows at this weeks class!

I positioned the fussy cut tulips before stamping the sentiment, which is from Kinda Eclectic, using Memento ink.

I then added the top layer to the card base using glue at the top and dimensionals at the bottom, this helped the ribbon sit flat whilst giving plenty of depth at the bottom

and a top view to finish today 

So, that's today's card. 

I hope you have enjoyed this post and I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you :-)

Thanks as ever for looking,

Stampin' Hugs,

Love is Kindness by Stampin' Up! with Crystal Effects Rain!

Hi there,

First of all I want to say a quick but heartfelt "Hello" to my new liker's and Google, Blog and Instagram followers! There has been a little flurry of likes this week so welcome xxx

I have had a lovely day out today with my youngest as he had an inset from school. We have been to the cinema together (and I even managed to stay awake!) with brekkie at Ikea first with a trip to Costco for tea thrown in there on the way home too :-) It's always a special treat having one-to-one time with kids.

So, onto today's card. I have used this stamp with my blendabilities to make this card before but I wanted to share it with you today to show that if colour it with Ink Pads and Blender pens it is equally stunning. Take a look!

 I removed this sentiment (SEE HERE) from the original stamp so I could work with it anywhere on my card. Here I stamped it and punched out with the decorative label punch folding it over the main panel of Sale-a-Bration Irresistibly Yours DSP** to secure.

 **Please Note: This lovely embossed DSP is a FREE product with every £45 spent but only 'till the 31st March. Plus, see the bonus SAB products HERE** 

 I used retired Wisteria Wonder ribbon on this card but you could try the W.W. Seam binding instead. I might need to get some of that too ;-)

 OK, here is my coloured image. I love the softness of colouring with blender pens and ink pads. It's a pretty water-coloured look don't you think?

I used Pear Pizzazz for the leaves and a touch of Smoky Slate for the newspaper.

 And see here I added tiny touches of Crystal Effects right at the end to make water droplets on the flowers and leaves.

This was another class card this week and it went down a storm with my ladies, what do you think?

OK, I'm off for tonight but please do pop back tomorrow for a new Two Minute Tuesday Video!

Thanks for looking today,

Love Is Kindness by Stampin' Up! coloured with Blendabilities and a FREE Artisan Label Punch Tutorial

Good Morning!

I'm back today with another Love is Kindness card. I coloured this in over the weekend using my Blendabilities but this time I used the Wisteria Wonder pens along with the Wild Wasabi and Smoky Slate.

I also used some more of the free Sale-a-Bration paper Irresistibly Yours but this time I only added ink (using a dauber) behind the flower image after I "fussy cut" it, it makes for a totally different look (to Mondays card, HERE) don't you agree? ....

See the sponged background? I like this look for this paper, it's nice and subtle  :-) and I also tied a bit of Linen Thread around the paper wrap for some extra texture ;-)

 As I showed you in Mondays post I cut away the sentiment on this stamp so I could use it away from the main image. It really is a lovely one though so I definitely wanted to use it for this card.

Did you notice how I layered the sentiment using the Artisan Label Punch? Cool! Because I have a tutorial on how to do this coming right up!

 So, I think they are pretty self explanatory but if you have any questions please do add them in the comments :-)

Part One, with a flat top as used on this card...

 And Part Two for a whole Label Layer

1. On the centre punched layer, repeat the trimmed areas on both sides, I left one whole to show it was just cut in half up the centre ;-)

Well, I hope you have enjoyed today's card and tutorials?

And I'll be back tomorrow with another card to share with you.

Thanks for looking today!
