Shabby Chic Birthday Card

For the start to our working week I’ve got a bit of a shabby chic birthday card to share with you inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

The floral image was fussy cut from the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. This is a Black and White monochromatic pack of 12″ x 12″ paper which gives you loads of options. I’ve even used a little strip of it on the label behind the flowers.

The image was coloured in Watercolour Pencils. The colours I used are listed below.

  • Daffodil Delight
  • Calypso Coral
  • Granny Apple Green
  • Garden Green
  • Coastal Cabana

To create the distressed look on the layers, I ran the edge of my paper snips right along the edges. This card has got lots of texture and it’s fully loaded with Stampin’ Dimensionals for some fabulous depth.

If you want to know more details, please get in touch with me. Want to order the products to make this card? Full list of supplies are at the bottom of this post. Orders can be placed online or by giving me a call. I’d love to help you out.

Watercolouring Happiness Abounds with Ink Refills

It’s been a little while since I did some watercolouring which is one of my favourite techniques. This beautiful flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was just perfect for getting back into it.

I used the Colour Inkspiration CI136 challenge photo as inspiration with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #570.

I watercoloured the flowers in Blushing Bride and the leaves in a combination of the greens. This card is just so ‘me’ and I really enjoyed creating it. Watch the video tutorial to get all the tips I shared.

    In the Country for fms568

    Do you ever wonder what to do with a stamp set like In the Country from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue? Large images of scenes which you could colour in but sometimes you may not have the time to spend colouring it all in.

    A sketch such as this one from Freshly Made Sketches is a great way to highlight sections of a scene and lends itself to creating quick cards.

    I stamped the scene twice in Cajun Craze and then die cut various sections using a circle die to form the sketch.

    The colour palette was minimal making it a great masculine card.

    I chose to add a vertical sentiment along with the Metallic Dots to draw the eye down over the 3 scenes.

    You can choose the In the Country stamp set FREE when you spend $90 on an order during the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration promotion.

    Birthday Cup of Tea

    A bit of a change from all my Christmas projects to play along with the Colour Inkspirations #CI133 challenge. As I saw this photo inspiration, part of me wanted to use my favourite bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set but I resisted!

    Instead I’ve opted for a teacup stamped in Coastal Cabana with the spaces coloured with a Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.

    You can get the Tea Boutique stamps and dies on sale during our Seasonal Sale but the sale ends TODAY! Purchase them separately as it will give you a better price than purchasing as a bundle. Regular price $88, Sale Price $72.45. That’s a saving of $15.55.

    I die cut the palm leaves from a piece of cardstock which I randomly stamped with some blotchy images with the Artistically Inked stamp set using Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow inks. Then I blended over the Cardstock with Granny Apple Green using a Blending Brush. This is a technique I use quite a lot as it gives me a variegated look on my leaves.

    I used the sketch from Freshly Make Sketches #fms562 as inspiration for the layout of my card. The strips of Fresh Freesia DSP were blended over with Gorgeous Grape to deepen the colour.

    A splattering with a Merry Merlot Marker adds the final colour of our palette to my card. Thank you for stopping by and for a list of products used on this card please scroll to the bottom of this post.

    Awash with Beauty Anniversary Card for #fms548

    When it comes to a bit of fussy cutting, I’m up for the challenge. As soon as I saw this bouquet in the Awash with Beauty Designer Series Paper, it cried out to be fussy cut. So with my Paper Snips I took to creating this focal image for my card inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

    I used some Crumb Cake Cardstock scraps I had to create a border along the DSP panel.

    I die cut some Vellum stems and coloured the back with an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend along with some die cut Mossy Meadow berries.

    A heat embossed sentiment from the Ringed with Nature stamp set on Merry Merlot adds a nice contrast against the flowers. When you purchase the Ringed with Nature bundle you will automatically qualify for a free product from our Sale-A-Bration promotion.

    To coordinate with the natural look of the Crumb Cake Cardstock I added some Linen Thread which I wrapped around my fingers 3 times to create a loop and tucked in under the bouquet with some Tear n’ Tape adhesive.
