Countryside Corners Trifold card

27 April, 202327 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Today I have a Trifold design using some new product, the Countryside Corners dies to create the card base.

The Framed Florets dies were used for the oval frame and the coordinating Framed Florets stamp set to decorate the front panel, both of these are retiring soon.

On the back panel, I added some Basic White card and stamped the sentiment/balloon and used a sponge dauber to apply ink around the edges.

To colour the images on the front, I don’t have the Blends Markers in the new colours yet, so I added some Isocol (alcohol) to an old Water Painter and used it with some ink from the lids of the inkpads. The image outlines were stamped in Soft Succulent ink.

Handy Tip for Isocol colouring

It gives a beautiful soft effect to the images. I cut some ribbons in half lengthwise and added them behind the flowers. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Succulent ink onto the same coloured card.

Let’s open this card to see what is inside. The Dry Brushed Metallic Specialty DSP was used with one of the smaller dies and it is so pretty! The Dainty Delight dies were used to cut the flowers and leaves for this panel using Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and the soft succulent piece from the Fine Shimmer paper pack. The Basic White background is cut using the Something Fancy dies.

Now we open up the third panel and wow, how beautiful is this?!!! The sentiment on the centre panel is from the Framed Florets stamp set. The patterned paper behind the centre panel is from Enjoy the Journey DSP.

Soft Succulent: Rain or Shine

19 April, 202319 April, 2023 craftwithkate

Each week some of the Art With Heart team are joining the Colour Creations Blog Hop to bring you creative inspiration showcasing our range of 50+ gorgeous Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 49 – Soft Succulent

Today we focus on one of the 2021-2023 In Colors, Soft Succulent which will retire in 11 days. I sure will miss this one as it is my absolute favourite colour out of the five In Colors due to retire.

The Rain or Shine Specialty DSP and the Fine Shimmer Paper Pack feature heavily in this card. I also used the Raindrops Embossing Folder behind the bunny and a sponge dauber to gently add some ink.

The main image is fussy cut from one of the DSP sheets and popped up on dimensionals. The fine shimmer paper was cut with the Framed Florets dies for that oval frame.

Here is another view of the card, so you can see how it looks when open. It is a basic Z fold design, but it has 5 strips of Balmy Blue card creating the panels. I added the top and bottom panels first, then the centre one, then the other 2 last so they were fairly evenly spaced.
