Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set by Stampin' Up! for Cards.

Hello!

Today I have the first of two cards to share with you using the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set.  I said the other day that I think this is as a great set for cards (including making subtle backgrounds like I did for THIS CARD) and not just the calendar so I have made a few more this week :-) I do also have the calendar though so I'm looking forward to making that up soon too ;-)

But today I have this card to share with you. I used a Crisp Cantaloupe base with a Crumb Cake top layer and teamed it with some of the new White Jute Ribbon and a sentiment from Sheltering Tree to make this card...

I wanted to make these stamps a bit more of a focal point than before so decided to stamp the pretty flowers from this set in Crisp Cantaloupe Ink onto the Crumb Cake layer

 This sentiment is from the Sheltering Tree stamp set. I stapled the twine to the card then tied the bow around the staple securing the waves with rolled up glue dots. Alternatively you could use a tiny drop of Crystal Effects with this twine as it's thick enough not to get wet through.

 I decorated this card with a few frosted Sequins left over from Christmas. Sequins are for life you know ;-)

OK, I'm off to make tea before work tonight. Hope you have a great evening which will be more inky than mine and I'll be back tomorrow with another card for you.

Stampin' Hugs from me :-)

Gold Vellum with Sale-a-Bration Lotus Blossom FREE stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Hello!

I have been busy again today this time it was with bookwork and Tax returns :-( But, I'm happy to say I've finished for this year now! Yay!! :-D

I have a pretty card to share with you today following (very closely) the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for inspiration as I just loved this set teamed with the Gold Vellum, have a look...

 

Now, we made this card at class this week but we only used one ink pad! It does look lovely with two toning colours but if you have just one in your chosen colour then panic not! You can still get great results like this! So, please let me share my method for just using one ink pad with this three step stamping Lotus Blossom image.

I followed the order on the stamp sheet:

1) Ink up and stamp the smallest, inner petals first as you usually would (stamp #1).

2) Then take the large, details stamp (#2), ink it up then stamp it off onto scrap or grid paper then stamp over the first image.

3) Finally, take the solid image (#3) and ink it up, stamp it off again and then stamp over the top as suggested. 

As I'm typing this I'm thinking a little video might help?? 

Please, let me know if you would like to see this :-)

I stamped the stalk in Old Olive. Ink the solid stamp and stamp it off before stamping on the white then ink and stamp the mottled image over the top as usual.

I started with a white card base (10.5cm x 14.8cm) then trimmed the Gold Vellum to 10cm x 14.3 and trimmed white card to 8cm x 12.5cm, stamp as directed onto the smaller white card adding a sentiment in Sahara Sand then adhere to the gold velum. Once you have done this add glue to the vellum, just behind the solid white, to adhere to the card base. Tah dah! No glue showing through :-)

 I finished with some new Stacked with Love Washi Tape and Gold Bakers Twine for decoration.

OK, so if you want to make this card at home and of course get your hands on this stamp set for FREE then luckily if you purchase all the items needed to re-create this card it covers your £45 spend!

New Painted Petals Stamps by Stampin' Up! A White on Crumb Cake look.

Hello!

I was just about to type "Good Morning" before I realised that there are only 6 minutes before it is over and I will definitely not be finished typing this post by then ;-) so, Good Afternoon! I have been so busy the last couple of days and so I had an easy morning this morning making this post a little later than usual ;-)

But, I now I do have a new card to share with you :-) I have been playing about with the lovely new Painted Petals stamp set, from the Spring/Summer catalogue, a bit this week and I'm sure it will be a popular set as it is so easy to use and gives a lovely painted look with textured images. It's also available in all three mounts (Wood, Clear and Photopolymer) which is bound to be a winner! and this is the first design I have for you.

 For this look I stamped Crumb Cake card with White Craft Ink first, then dried it with my heat tool (you can simply wait but it would take a few hours to dry, or leave it over-night) then stamped again in Blackberry Bliss for the flowers and Old Olive for the leaves

 And it's a nice flat card for posting because look! No ribbon!! I know, I know, It's unusual for me to have no ribbon at all but I just thought the images said enough on this card ;-) 

Btw: Please ignore the small smudge in the middle, I ran out of time to re-stamp this card like I would usually but it just goes to show us demo's aren't perfect either. Just nearly perfect ;-) ha ha!! Joke!

 There are three lovely sentiments with this set but I wanted a Happy Birthday so I used this from the Sale-a-Bration FREE set Big Day, and the good news is if you purchase Painted Petals in Photpolymer with the three main ink pads needed (White, Blackberry and Olive) and a pack of Crumb Cake card you can choose this FREE Big Day stamp set or any other SaB item! 

All the links you need are at the end of this post :-)

I also used a White Gel Pen to highlight the inside of "Birthday" here..

 To finish I added a little Crumb Cake ink to the edges of the top layer and a Blackberry Bliss card layer between the top and base.

OK, that's it from me today. It seems to have taken me forever to get this post done today but if you like the card then happy days! Please, do let me know ;-)

I'll be back tomorrow with more but for now

Stampin' Hugs from me,
