Tuesday Challenge #30

Hi everyone, sorry I am bit late today in posting my Tuesday Challenge Project.  I cannot believe that it is already week 30 of my little challenge that I set myself to make a card or project using products from the Annual Catalogue.

Stamp sets of choice this week are Piece of Cake and Artisan Textures.  I also used the matching Cake Builder Punch and the Stitched Rectangles for the sentiment.

I really like the Artisan Textures stamp set for creating backgrounds.  For this card I stamped the large solid image twice using Blushing Bride ink (stamped off once) and the dotted image twice using Smoky Slate ink (stamped off once).  I then added some little hearts from the Piece of Cake stamp set stamped with Blushing Bride ink.

The cake and cake stand were stamped using Black Memento ink and then coloured with Stampin' Blends Lovely Lipstick (light and dark), Mango Melody (dark), Old Olive (dark), Smoky Slate (light and dark) and Basic Black (light).  These images were then punched out using the Cake Builder punch.

The sentiment was White heat embossed before being cut out using one of the Stitched Rectangle dies.

Some Silver Metallic Thread and Rhinestones were added to finish the card.

Tuesday Challenge #29

Hi everyone, sharing my project for this week's Tuesday Challenge.  This is a little challenge I set my self to make a project using products from the annual catalogue.

My card this week uses the 'Floral Essence' stamp set.  I stamped the flowers using Gorgeous Grape and Daffodil Delight ink.  The smaller flowers I stamped off once to get the lighter shade.  The leaves were stamped using Pear Pizzazz ink and punched out using the Leaf Punch.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was stamped onto a Whisper White Stitched Nested Label before the flowers and leaves were added.

The gorgeous paper is from the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper pack.  I wrapped some Linen Thread around this piece before adhering it over the top of a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock using dimensionals.  This was then adhered to the Garden Green card base.

To finish the card I added the Linen Thread bow and some of the Glitter Enamel Dots.

Tuesday Challenge #29

Father's Day

Hi everyone, sharing another card I made for my card supplies at work for our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team fundraising.

This card uses the new Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper.  This paper is just gorgeous with copper foil accents on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other.  It can be used for Christmas or any other occasion just as I have done here.

I have used the 'Geared Up Garage' stamp set and the matching Garage Gears Dies.  The car was coloured using the dark and light Night of Navy Stampin' Blends.  You could colour this with the Night of Navy Stampin' Write Marker as an alternative.

Father's Day

Free As A Bird

Hi everyone, sharing another project that the ladies made in last week's class.

Stamp set is 'Free As A Bird'.  The ladies really enjoyed making this card, watercolouring the image with Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, Crushed Curry and Old Olive ink and an Aquapainter.

The piece of Rococo Rose Designer Series Paper is from the 2019-2020 In Colours paper pack.  If you cut 2" strips you get 3 cards from one 6" x 6" piece of patterned paper.  

A strip of the gorgeous Rococo Rose Scalloped Linen Ribbon was adhered across the card front on top of the Designer Series Paper.  The layout for this card is quite simple and I really liked the finished card.  There is just something about browns and pinks together that I find quite pretty.

Free As A Bird

Tuesday Challenge #28

Hi everyone, I have gone with a Father's Day theme for my card for this week's Tuesday Challenge.  With Father's Day coming up I had to restock my supply of Father's Day cards at work.  I sell these as part of our fundraising efforts for our Cancer Council Relay For Life Team.

 

I have used two stamp sets on this week's card, 'Sailing Home' and 'Well Said'.

The Designer Series Paper is from the 'Come Sail Away' paper pack.  When I started to design this card I really did not have a layout in mind. I had these strips left over from previous projects which I was wanting to use so I played around a bit and this is what I came up with.  I was really pleased with the end result and a big plus was that I used up some of my scrap bits of Designer Series Paper.

The rectangles were cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, I then stamped the lighthouse image using Night of Navy ink.  I coloured this by just colouring using the Blender Pen with no additional ink added, it picks up the colour from the stamped image.

A few die cut elements, an anchor from the 'Sail Away' elements and the stamped sentiment were added to finish my card.

Tuesday Challenge #28

Deck the Halls Gift Box

Hi everyone, sharing one of the projects the ladies are making in class today.  It is my first Christmas Project for the season, I cannot believe that I am making Christmas Projects already.

This is a great quick and easy project to make, it took me a while as I had a few false starts with measurements, but once that was all sorted out it came together really quickly.

I have used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Gold Foil Sheet and the Leaf Ribbon on this project.

To make this project you will need:

• Cardstock 16.5cm x 15cm
• Cut 2 Stitched Nested Labels using 3^rd largest die
• Cut 2 Designer Series Paper Stitched Nested Labels using the 4^th largest die
• Cut 2 pieces Designer Series Paper 4.5cm x 4.5cm
• Cut a piece of cardstock 21cm x 1.5cm (handle)
• Very Vanilla for Stitched Shaped Circle using 2nd smallest die
• Gold Foil Sheet for the Starburst Circle

Technique

Score the 16.5cm x 15cm piece of cardstock at 5cm on all four sides.

Snip on the lines as indicated in the picture.  You may want to snip off a small section of the flap that you are folding in so it is not as bulky.  Adhere the sides together to form the box base.

Adhere the Designer Series Paper Stitched Nested Labels to the cardstock Stitched Nested Labels and adhere these to the box sides. 

Add the handle and staple in place, take note that the staple closing fold is on the outside of the box as this is covered by the Designer Series Paper.  Adhere the 4.5cm x 4.5cm pieces of Designer Series Paper to the sides of the box.

Stamp the image using Real Red ink on the piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and cut out using the Stitched Shaped Circle.  Punch out a Starburst Circle from the Gold Foil Sheet using the large Starburst Circle Punch.  Adhere these together and then make a small hole in the top to thread a piece of Linen Thread through so that you can tie it to the Gussetted Cellophane 7.6cm x 15.2cm bag, with your treats of choice inside (I have Minities in my bag), which has been tied with a piece of Leaf Ribbon.

Do you want a larger basket, no problems!

For a larger size basket cut a piece of cardstock 20cm x 18cm and score on all four sides at 6cm.  Use the largest and 2nd largest Stitched Nested Label dies and cut the handle at 21cm x 2cm.  The Designer Series Paper for the box sides is cut at 5.5cm x 5.5cm. Just follow the same directions for the smaller basket to put it together.  This size basket would be great for homemade shortbread or other Christmas goodies that you make.

You could personalize these little baskets with people's names and have them as place settings for your festive celebrations.

Tuesday Challenge #27

Hi everyone, sorry for being a day late in posting my Tuesday Challenge project.  I had a few issues with my computer yesterday but I got it all sorted today.

My card is quick and easy to make using the Daisy Lane stamp set along with the Daisy Punch and Medium Daisy Punch.   The vellum leaves were punched using the Leaf Punch.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Woven Threads paper pack, it has such a gorgeous colour palette which I have teamed with a Sahara Sand cardbase.

I thought that the sentiment 'Smile' could suit a lot of occasions. You can just right your message inside the card for the appropriate occasion.
