WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY

Woohoo, it’s Wednesday and another opportunity to share something new.

Today’s card is ‘amazing’.

I was so pleased to see the wonderful panels on two of the Designer Series Paper sheets. I used this playground panel for the background on my Poppy Parade cardbase

After looking at all the images on the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper, I chose the three children in the pull cart for this card.

I was able to cut it using one of the Kiddin’ Around Dies.

I also used the Filled with Fun Dies to cut a Poppy Parade cart, Basic White timber side, pull handle in Basic Black and wheels in Basic Black and Poppy Parade.

After I layered all these elements and adhered them together, I had created an amazing pull cart with happy children inside.

The completed pull cart was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Kiddin’ Around Stamp Set, was stamped in Poppy Parade before being trimmed down and added to the front of the card.

I stamped the cluster of stars, from the stamp set, on the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I have a small 3D Easter project to share with you – albeit a week late for Easter.Until then, happy stamping.

TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Today I want to share a slimline card with fussy cutting as my techniques card.

A slimline card is one that is longer and slimmer than a standard card. My slimline cards are 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (8 1/2″ x 7″ folded in half).

The other technique I used for this card was gool old fussy cutting.

TIP: For fussy cutting, I cut images in an anticlockwise manner, keeping the scissors close to the outer edge of the image. The more you fussy cut, the faster and more accurate you will become.

As you can see I fussy cut five of the characters from the Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper.

Each of these characters were adhered directly to the front of the DSP layer on the card base.

I added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of a couple of pieces of Petunia Pop cardstock and used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut the letters for the external and internal messages.

I used the Hooray for Surprises Stamp Set to stamp the birthday cake and greeting on the card insert. I used Crushed Curry, Misty Moonlight and Petunia Pop inks.

Tomorrow I have another fun card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I am highlighting two sets of products because they coordinate so well.

The first is the Just Kiddin’ Suite Collection.

The second bundle is the Filled with Fun Bundle.

For my first card, I decided to fussy cut some of the images from the designer series paper to create a birthday card.

I started with a Poppy Parade card base.

Then embossed Basic White layer, using the soon to be released So Swirly Embossing Folder.

I took a length of white ribbon from the soon to released Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim and coloured it with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend pen.

The ribbon was wrapped around the embossed layer and secured with Tear & Tape. I used a shirt length of coloured ribbon to tie onto the length of ribbon.

I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere the embossed layer to the card base.

The greeting on the card front was made using the Mini Alphabet Dies, Poppy Parade cardstock and Adhesive Sheets.

I originally fussy cut three of the little girl wearing an apple costume image and added them to the card front. While waiting to take photos of this project, I tucked the card inside an envelope. It was so humid today that the envelope stuck to the centre front of the card. When I tried to peel it away, the half of the middle apple was torn away. My solution was to use the circle die from the Delightful Doilies Dies set.

I used the Basic White water colour pencil, from Assortment 1, to add some colour to each apple. Then I used my Clear Wink of Stella to wash it over the apple and add some glimmer.

The birthday greeting, from the Kiddin’ Around Stamp Set was stamped for the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I have a fun card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
