Hello You Thinlits Card

Posted On: 14. 09. 15

It may seem like I have been on a bit of an anti stamping binge lately, but the truth is that I have been outside enjoying summer and when I did come in to stamp, I wanted to complete my projects quickly. I am playing catch up with you all here, so that you can see what I was creating over the summer months.  Not much time to blog when the kiddos (and I) wanted to go to the beach.  I did still teach classes over the summer and most of the cards you will see in the next few blog posts will be about those cards.

Hello You Thinlits

It is a rainy fall day here and my hubby took the kids to go ice skating, for real!! It was a quick transition to winter sports for my family. LOL Our youngest is starting to play hockey in a month or so and we want to make sure his skating skills are on point.  We have a terrific wellness centre in this area and we take full advantage of it .

On to my Hello You thinlit card.  Isn’t it cute?  The Hello You thinlits are a set of three words; hello, thanks and you, that you use with your Big Shot.  They also coordinate with the Crazy About You stamp set – also available in wood mount and photopolymer.  I chose to use the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and stamp a butterfly repeated on on the background paper in Basic Black ink. I am using some Irresistibly Yours paper that is retired, but you can get the same effect with the Colour Me Irresistible Designer Series Paper.

I then sponged Pink Pirouette ink all over the background paper to soften the black butterflies and to colour the paper, as it was originally white.

I added a strip of White Satin Ribbon, punched out a Bitty Butterfly and an Elegant Butterfly and  layered them together, with Pearls as an embellishment on the body of the butterfly.

Cardstocks used are: Pink Pirouette, Basic Black and you can substitute the Colour Me Irresistible as your background paper.

Bird Builder Punch

Posted On: 30. 03. 15

I can’t tell you how long the Bird Builder Punbirdpunchch has been sitting on my shelf, before I used it.  Hmmm, too, too long, I can tell you that much.  Look at how cute these little birds are! Adorable! Right?!  These cards came from a punch art class I ran recently and showcases how versatile one punch can be.  My favourite is the love you more than chocolate card.

The tulip card uses the ‘wing’ as petals. Wouldn’t that make a beautiful Mother’s Day card!  Or a terrific Easter Card.

Quick Tip: Use a sponge dauber to add ink to the edge of the punched piece to add shading and depth.  It makes a world of difference to your finished card.

The Love You More than Chocolate card, I heat embossed a feather stamped from the Four Feathers stamp set bundle, then punched part of the image out with the bird punch. Added a die cut feather, some Epic Day washi tape and one more feather stamp for the focal point. The sentiment is from the Lovely Amazing You stamp set.

Remember to keep creating, sharing and inspiring! Happy Monday!

Sophisticated Beginner Card

Posted On: 10. 04. 12

Beginner Card from Stamping.CardsThis is quite an easy card to put together, yet has an elegance that can’t be beat.

Simply, stamp a quick background with one stamp, in this case the rose stamp from Fifth Avenue Floral, repeated many times. Don’t overlap too much, but try to eliminate any blank, white space as well.

Stamp your sentiment twice, once onto whisper white card stock and once onto baja breeze card stock.  I always keep my “scraps” with my full size sheets of card stock for when I am using punches.  You will punch out the baja breeze ring that says Happy Birthday, to adhere to the sentiment stamped on the whisper white card stock.  Flip your punch over so that you can see where you are punching.  This tip eliminates all the guess work and frustration of trying to stamp straight. Punch the 1″ circle first then still holding your stamped baja breeze card stock punch the 1 1/4″ circle to release the ring that says Happy Birthday.  Adhere this to the sentiment stamped on the whisper white card stock.  Layer one baja breeze scallop circle behind the white scallop circle.  This will complete the sentiment focal point.

Assemble your card.  ENJOY!!

Finished card size is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

 

You will also need the following items and supplies.

Card Stock:  Whisper White and Baja Breeze

Stamp Set: Fifth Avenue Floral and Happiest Birthday Wishes

Ink: Baja Breeze

Accessories: Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, 1 3/4 Scallop Punch, 1″ Circle Punch, 1 1/4″ Circle Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Scissors
