EARLY BIRTHDAY CARD

Hello and welcome to another project post. Thanks ever so much for popping by.

Today’s card is quite the achievement for me. So often I am late with my sister Karen’s birthday card. Well, it is August 5th and her birthday is September 24th. I am totally organised this year (I just need to remember to post it on time).

I decided to combine the Days to Remember and Party Puffins Stamp Sets. This card needs to be heaps of fun.

It also needs to be a ‘go big, go bold’ type of card. Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight seemed like perfect colours for Kas’s card.

I chose a Misty Moonlight based design from the Beauty of the Earth 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper to use as a background to the calendar and partying puffins. Before adhering the DSP layer to the card base, I wrapped and secured two lengths of Magenta Madness 2020 – 2022 In Colour Ribbon.

To stamp the calendar I used my Stamparatus to ensure great alignment. Can you guess the date of her birthday? I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker ™ to colour the circles in the party hat.

The puffins, as you can see, are boldly pink! They were fussy cut and then ‘painted’ with CLear Wink of Stella. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the calendar and puffins onto the card front.

The birthday cake was stamped and coloured using coordinating Stampin’ Blends. After fussy cutting the cake I used dimensionals to raise it to the same height of the puffins and calendar.

I stamped some candles onto the front of the envelope and ‘happy birthday’ on the card insert. The final step was to add some 2020 – 2022 In Colour Square Gems.

So, what do you think? Do you think she’ll like her card this year?

Until my next post, happy stamping.

HUGS @ COFFEE & CARDS

Hello and thank you for popping by today. I’m delighted that you have taken the time to see what I have made.

My Coffee & Card classes restarted last week. It was lovely to spend time with lovely, local ladies as we made some super easy cards from the Sentimental Rose Card Kit.

I asked Monday’s group what type of card they would like to make next time. After looking through the Annual Catalogue, they decided on a feminine birthday card using the Sending Hugs Stamp Set.

The large image is stamped using the Stamparatur and Jet Black StazOn onto Shimmery White cardstock. It was coloured using both of the Watercolour Pencils Assortment Packs. I used a Blender Pen to blend to colour smooth.

This piece of cardstock was cut using the second largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I also cut a larger Flirty Flamingo layer. These layers were stcuk together at an angle. I coloured a length of White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon using the dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends pen. The bow was tied and secured using a Mini Glue Dot and then wrapped around the two die cut layers.

I partially stamped the ”on your special day” for the “on your” die cut piece. The “birthday” sentiment was an individual stamp. The front panels were secured on a Basic White card base. I stamped and coloured the single floral image on the inside of the card and the envelope.

The final touch was to colour some Opal Rounds using the dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends pen.

I went on to make two other cards that I can share at our next Coffee & Card class to show other ways the bundle can be used.

For this card, I started by stamping the single flower image across a piece of Flirth Flamingo cardstock. Then I used the largest of the Layering Hugs Dies to cut out the centre.

A piece of Basic White cardstock had Adhesive Sheet attached and cut using the same die. The Flirty Flamingo layer was centred on the front of the Misty Moonlight card base.using quite a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

After peeling off the Adhesive Sheet backing, the white die cut piece was placed inside the negative space. The “on your birthday” elements were made in the same way as the first card. I added three Opal Rounds (but it seems that one has fallen off – oops).

For the second card, I stamped ‘birthday’ (from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set) twice and then embossed a Basic White panel using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I also embossed a smaller panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock using the dots Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. After they were glued together, a length of white Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack was then tied, cut and wrapped around the front panel. This was then adhered to the Misty Moonlight card base.

The Flirty Flamingo die cut piece, from the earlier card, was then popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, with a piece of Adhesive Sheet attached, was used to die cut the letters from the ‘hugs’ die.

I am hoping that everyone who comes to Coffee & Card this week enjoy making the first card. There are some new techniques to try. I am also hoping that the other two cards spark interest in trying other techniques.

Which card would you like to make? What techniques would like to learn?

Happy stamping.

CRITTERS

Hello to each of you who have popped by today to see my latest project. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and interest; it is truly appreciated.

Today’s project has been created for this week’s Freshly Brewed Project blog hop. Unfortunately, I missed the past two but am very pleased to be making up for lost time.

This week’s theme is CRITTERS and the brief highlighted that there are many critters in the new catalogue … fluffy, cute, artistic, feathers, fins and so much more. Our task was to create a project featuring one of the many critters we can choose from.

My chosen critter is cute, artistic and has an outer shell.

As you can see, I have chosen to use the totally cute Turtle Friends Bundle for this challenge. So at first sight, you can see the tiered turtles and blocks of colour below. Let me show you how I put all of this together.

I was inspired by Donna Gray’s Facebook Live this morning. She used the new Watercolour Shapes Stamps for her projects. I do not have this set yet but still wanted to try to achieve something similar. I used one of my G acrylic blocks to ink and stamp each of the layers that you can see. When this was dry I then cut the paper into 1/2″ strips and alternated and adhered them on the card front layer.

I stamped two of the largest turtle, using Memento ink, onto some soon to retire Oh So Ombre 6″x 6″ DSP and used Granny Apple Green ink to add the turtleshell elements. For the turtle stamped onto Basic White as a reversed image, I used my Stamparatus and Silicon Mat to achieve this image. The sentiment was then stamped using Granny Apple Green ink. The party hat was stamped using Granny Apple Green and coloured using Stampin’ Write Markers™ in Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.

The turtles were overlapped, with feet alternating, and adhered. The turtle trio was popped up onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals – as was the party hat. Some Granny Apple Green grass was also stamped onto the card front.

The birthday greeting was stamped in Bermuda Bay and trimmed back to pop up over the multiple colour strips along the base. Then I used the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to colour some Rhinestone Basic Jewels for the card front.

As I almost always mention, the final step involved me adding an image to the card insert and envelope. For this project, the final step was to stamp one of the smaller turtle images.

And, of course, I needed to add those little grass elements to ground the turtles. This image really shows how amazing inking a block and stamping can look. I added some Clear Wink of Stella onto each of the trurtles scales and also flicked it across the card front. Very blingy turtles indeed!

It was great to use so many new and carry over products for a project. I think this is one of greatest benefits of using Stampin’ Up!® products – the incredible coordination of colours and designs. If you’re not yet familiar with all of this, and would like have your own latest catalogue, please contact me. (You need to live in Australia for me to be able to offer you the latest catalogue).

Finally, who would you send a totally cute turtle birthday card to?

Now, make sure that check out the other CRITTER creations from the Freshly Brewed Project team. (oops – I was a bit late adding this).

Happy stamping.
