Stampin' Blends on Crumb Cake

Hi everyone, I have been having a little play colouring with the Stampin' Blends on Crumb Cake cardstock.

I stamped the image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set using Momento Ink on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.  The flower was coloured using the Light and Dark Night of Navy, Dark Pool Party, Dark and Light Old Olive and the Colour Lifter Stampin' Blends. 

The card base is Dapper Denim, with the mats of Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake cardstock behind the piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper.   I chose this piece of paper as it has a slight blue tinge to the pattern that went perfectly with the colour of the flower and the Dapper Denim patterned paper from the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment was made using the Birthday Banners and Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamps sets and the Bunch of Banners Framelits.  This was backed onto a Corrugated Elements oval shape.  Some Copper Metallic Thread was adhered behind the flower along with a piece of Very Vanilla Lace Trim.  A few Metallic Assorted Sequins were added to finish.

Technique

Fold card base.

Colour the Embossing Paste with Powder Pink reinker before applying it to the 14.3cm x 10cm piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Pattern Party Decorative masks and a palette knife.  Make sure that room is left on the top right corner for the sentiment. Stamp the sentiment using Basic Black Archival ink.

Adhere the 10.5cm x 4cm piece of Basic Black cardstock to the card front.

Stamp the flower image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set onto the Shimmery White cardstock using Basic Black Archival ink. Water colour the flower image using Powder Pink and Always Artichoke and an aquapainter before fussy cutting the image. Adhere this to the cardfront.

Make n Take from OnStage

Hi everyone, sharing a card I changed slightly from the make n take that we received at OnStage.

I stamped the two background cards with the new Colourful Seasons Stamp Set at OnStage but did not put the make n take together.  When I got home I new I had the Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon in my Display Board Stamping Box, this toned perfectly with the Memories and More card.  So I decided to change things up a bit.  I coloured my favourite flower from the Birthday Blooms stamp set with the Water Colour Pencils using the Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive pencils.  Who knew that Fresh Fig would go perfectly with this combination.

You will be able to purchase these new products on 1 June 2017. You can purchase the Birthday Blooms stamp set and the Watercolour Pencils now.  No need to wait until 1 June 2017 for these great products.

Hi everyone, sharing another card I made with my water coloured flowers from the 'Birthday Blooms' stamp set.  I coloured two flowers when I was making my card for yesterday's post for the sketch challenge at Mojo Monday.

Colour scheme of Whisper White, Basic Gray and Basic Black. The Washi Tape is from the Project Life Moments Like These accessory pack.  The background dots from the 'Gorgeous Grunge' stamp set are stamped in Basic Black Archival ink.  Some Silver Metallic Thread was added and then the flower was adhere over this using dimensionals.   

The sentiment was stamped using the 'Labeler Alphabet' stamp set and then adhered onto the flower using dimensionals. Silver sequins were added to finish the card.

Water Colouring

MOJO#491

Hi everyone, I am playing along with this week's sketch challenge at Mojo Monday.

I have been practicing a little water colouring using the Water Colour Pencils. Still a little work required, but I liked the monochromatic look of the flower which was coloured using the Basic Gray pencil and an Aqua Painter.  I have teamed this with patterned paper from the 'A Little Foxy' Designer Series Paper Stack.  The sentiment is from the 'Rose Wonder' stamp set with the flower from the 'Birthday Blooms' stamp set.

The colour scheme is Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Basic Gray and Whisper White.

Thank you for visiting.

Vintage Birthday Blooms

Hi everyone, sharing a card that I made when I was doing my entry for the Stampin' Up! OnStage Display Board.  I decided not to use it as part of my entry as I had already made a card using the Birthday Blooms stamp set.

I have used the new Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack for the background papers.  These have a great vintage feel to them, which went great with the flower that I had coloured using the Calypso Coral and Old Olive watercolour pencils.   These pencils make watercolouring so easy.   I used Shimmery White to do the watercolouring on as it is easier to fussy cut the image once finished than watercolouring paper is.

You can get all the supplies you need for this project

 from me from 4th January 2017 when the new Occasions Catalogue is launched.

Vintage Birthday Blooms

Stampin' Up! OnStage Display Board Entry

Happy New Year Everyone, sharing some projects (some new and some old) for an entry to Stampin' Up! for the opportunity to stamp projects for the OnStage display boards for the April Event. 

I am going to the Perth Event and I am looking forward to catching up with everyone and also meeting some new faces.   I really enjoy these events as you get to see and try the new products coming our way, see new projects that people have made which are such an inspiration, training tips and tricks and one of my favourites is the swapping of projects. 

Not sure how I will fare but if you do not enter you will not be selected right, so here goes. We have to make 3 cards, 1 scrapbooking page and 2 3D items for our entry.

Cards

For my first card I have used the new Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper along with the stamp set Nailed It and coordinating Build It Framelits.  The Urban Underground Embellishments added a finishing touch.

For my second card I have used the new Watercolour Pencils to colour the image from Birthday Blooms.  I coloured the image in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.  How amazing are these Watercolour Pencils, they make water colouring so easy.  I fussy cut the image and layered it over one of the new Lace Doilies. These doilies have a Very Vanilla side and the other side is Whisper White, so they can be used on so many projects.

The sentiment is from the Labeler Alphabet.  The background  was made by misting a piece of Whisper White with Pink Pirouette ink mixed with Isocol Rubbing Alcohol and then stamping in Archival Basic Black the random dots image from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  Basic Black Metallic Thread and some Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes were added as finishing touches.

My third card is one that I had made previously.  I really like the simple classic lines of this card.  It is also a great card for a beginner stamper to do, it looks complicated but it is very easy to do.

I have used the stamp set 'Dragonfly Dreams' and the matching 'Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits'.

I stamped the 1st Dragonfly image with Basic Black Archival ink and then stamped the 2nd image using Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay ink and the rock-n-roll technique.  The background on the square Shaped Framelit was stamped using the dot image stamp and Soft Sky ink.  The card base is Bermuda Bay and the sentiment from the same stamp set is stamped using Basic Black Archival ink.

Scrapbook Page

You know when you see a stamp set and you think immediately of how you can use it.  This happened to me when I saw the Hey Chick stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue as I knew that I had these great photos of my Great Niece enjoying some time in the Baby Barnyard at a Junior Diabetes Fundraising Event.

I am still working out how to photograph my scrapbook pages.  I create the pages regularly but do not photograph them so my technique leaves a lot to be desired, so sorry for the finished picture.

3D Items

My first 3D Item is a hexagon box I made to fit 4 small cakes of soap.  I had purchased these small cakes of soap that are circle in shape and are individually wrapped so I wanted to make a small box to put them in for a thank you gift.

Using the Grid Paper (great resource this), I worked out the dimensions for the box that I would need.  This is the finished box.

The flower and leaves on top were made using the Botanical Builder Framelits.  For the flower I cut out 4 Very Vanilla flower shapes and formed them into the flower, with one of the flower shapes folded to form the centre bud.  The little tag is from the Tags & Labels Framelits with the sentiment from the Circle of Spring stamp set.

My second 3D Item is one that I am quite excited about.  I teamed the All Year Long Project Life Card Collection and the All Year Long Project Life Accessory Pack with the Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack and created this little file folder that holds a mini album.

The project measures 4 3/4" high by 6 1/2" high with a depth of 1".

The mini album pages measure 6" x 4 1/4".

There are four double pages going forward and three double pages on the reverse when the album is turned over.  All pages have been decorated with the Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper and the All Year Long Project Life Card Collection and Accessory Pack.  Pockets and tags have been created to added more areas for photos and journaling and some dimension to the album.

Thank you for visiting.
