A Little Hello for Freshly Made Sketches #542

I’ve been playing with the Wonderful World bundle from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue. This is a stamp set and Designer Series Paper bundle which you can earn FREE with a $180 order. During Sale-A-Bration you can earn a free product with every $90 you spend. The stamp has a vintage look and for this card I’ve used a sheet of the DSP with the smaller flowers which lends itsself to the sweet, charming feel of the bundle.

I used Stampin’ Write Markers to colour the stamp directly and then stamped it onto Cardstock Then I fussy cut it.

I have been inspired by the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge FMS542. To create the horizontal panel I cut strips of Designer Series Paper and adhered it to Pear Pizzazz Cardstock. This is a fun way to use up any paper scraps you MAY have!

The White panel was embossed and then I blended some So Saffron ink over a section of it to give it a light haze of colour. Then I added a border which was die cut using the largest frame from the Scalloped Contours Dies.

Sweet Songbirds for Sunday Stamps ssc286

I’ve got a sweet card for you today with the Sweet Songbirds bundle. I used both sets of Stampin’ Up! watercolours to colour the Perfectly Penciled DSP and blended them with the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter. The colours I used were Granny Apple Green, Old Olive Garden Green, Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray and White.

I’ve been creating quite a few of these bird cards for a team challenge so I wanted to try a different look and went with a Kraft bird. The natural tone looks nice against the Balmy Blue from the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper. Some fussy cut leaves were added for the bird to perch on.

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop – Lots of Love

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Header

Hello, Welcome to a sketch challenge for our Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop. I’m using some products from the Stampin’ Up! January – June Mini Catalogue for my card today.

The Paradise Palms bundle is a favourite of mine and on this card I’ve just used the dies. I die cut the palm trees from White Cardstock, colouring it with Stampin’ Blends. Then I added a second layer of the leaves for extra depth.

I drew a border around the Stitched Rectangle with the Blushing Bride Marker using a ruler as a guide. This added just enough contrast without the need to add an extra layer.

You can download the Recipe Card for this project here.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting me in Melbourne and I hope to see you back soon. Next on our hop is the talented Jo Blackman. Please follow the hop through to see all the interpretations of this sketch.

New at su Blog Hop – Forever After

Hi, Welcome to our New at SU Blog hop theme of Mums, Dads, Brides and Grads. I’ve used one of my favourite stamp sets, Forever Fern and it’s coordinating dies to create a wedding card.

New at Su Blog Hop Header

I started with a Smoky Slate piece of cardstock and using the Stamparatus I stamped each leaf image in Craft ink. Then I moved the Cardstock to the right and up a notch and restamped the image in Shaded Spruce. This creates a shadow type effect. It is a little bit time consuming in that you do need to clean your stamp in between each application but it’s worth it.

I then die cut some leaves from Rose Gold Metallic Paper and arranged them around the stamped images.

I selected a section of the sentiment which was heat embossed in silver and highlighted it by adding it to Black Cardstock.

The entire panel has been matted onto White Cardstock and then a Silver panel which is from the Blue Foils in the Waves of the Ocean Collection. I wasn’t sure how the Rose Gold would look against the Silver and was quite happy with the result of mixing metallics on this card.

Relax & Enjoy Your Day

Creating quick cards is easy with the New Horizons Designer Series Paper. With beautiful scenic backgrounds, just add a sentiment and a bit of stamping and your card is ready.

This card uses 2 halves of paper, with the top section torn to create an uneven edge. The beach huts were die cut and coloured in with Stampin’ Blends. The punched out sentiment was blended with Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral to create an ombre look. I love the relaxed feel of this card and how quick it came together.
