Week 30 – Highland Heather

Today I feature the Umbrella Days bundle, new to the Online Exclusives section of the store.

I first stamped the larger girl image and then masked her by stamping onto masking paper and cutting it out to place over the top of the previously stamped image. This is so when I stamped the smaller child, I could have it to appear behind the larger image. But warning, don’t be like me, and forget to take a little stickyness away from the masking paper. Ooops, I ripped the card when I was removing it.

The dog was stamped last. To try and cover up my booboo, I decided to add some paper piecing! Stamping the images onto Designer paper and then cutting out sections, eg the coat, to glue over the stamped image. I did this for the umbrella, coat and boots of the large image, the boots of the child and the coat for the dog! The rest were coloured with Stampin’ Blends Combo Markers.

I wanted to add the rain, so stamped the rain in Versamark ink, added clear emboss powder and melted it with my Heat Tool. I used a blending brush to add colour from the bottom to top using Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party & Highland Heather.

I cut two strips of grass and coloured them with Blends Combo Markers; Lemon Lime Twist & Soft Sea Foam. The little flowers were coloured using Highland Heather.

This layer is added to Gold Foil and to a Highland Heather card front. Some dots were added using a White Gelly Pen.

On the inside is a 14cm x 28cm Basic White insert scored at 4.5cm & 9cm from either end. Some Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper is added to 3 of the 4 panels and a Wanted to Say die cut sentiment in the centre. This was then mounted to another Highland Heather card base (14.5cm x 10.5cm).

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Lemon Lime Twist.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Di Furniss.

Week 24 – Flirty Flamingo

Today I feature the Changing Leaves bundle

I love this neutral colour palette with the pop of colour, in Flirty Flamingo!

Here you can see the details and the Woven Golden Leaves popped in amongst the stamped and die cut leaves.

Step-by-step Instructions

• Begin with a sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 29.7cm x 10.5cm, score @ 14.8cm to create a tent style card.
• Glue a piece of 13cm x 9cm Seasons of Elegance Specialty Designer Paper to a Basic White layer, 13.5cm x 9.5cm and emboss it with the Hybrid folder.
• Wrap a piece of ribbon around and adhere it to the back of the card before adhering this layer to your card front.
• Stamp the sentiment on Basic White card and the maple leaf onto Basic Beige card and die cut them.
• Die cut the leaves in Flirty Flamingo and Basic White card.
• Adhere the die cut leaves to the back of the maple leaf using Glue Dots.
• Place dimensionals on the back and adhere to the card.
• Place three Woven Golden Leaves between the die cuts and the maple leaf using glue dots.
• Attach the sentiment to the card on Dimensionals.
• Add three sequins for some extra shine.
• On the inside a Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.4cm cvis matted onto some Flirty Flamingo card 11.5cm x 8.5cm, with a strip of the SDSP to carry over the design.
• Emboss the flap of the envelope for that extra touch of class.

TIP: I cut a sheet of A4 cardstock down the centre at 10.5cm, then cut each of these into 7.4cm pieces, so I can get 8 inserts from one sheet of cardstock!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Fresh Freesia.

Please enjoy the wonderful inspiration of our next team member, Andrea Sargent.
