Wednesday’s Card…

We used exactly the same layout as yesterday’s card.  This is the Recipe Swap we hold at the end of each month.  For those not wanting to complete the swap, they are able to complete a card, which is similar layout to the card.

The recipe this month “Ginger Bread” was from Heather’ Kitchen.  I must admit that the amount of eggs were left off the recipe, but I think she said there were 2 eggs to be added.

Supplies –
Stamp Set –  Tripple Treat Flower (Retired) & not used as much as I should have
Ink – Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride – Yep, all the In Colours
Cardstock – Concord Crush, Whisper White
DSP – 2010-2012 In Colours
Punches – Fancy Flower, 5-Petal Flower, 1/2″ Circle
Ribbon – 1/2″ Stitched Poly – Poppy Parade
Accessories – Snail Adhesive

 
Until next time, Happy Stampin!

Fast & Fabulous….

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment
… is the stamp set we used to create our card at Crafty Creations some weeks ago.  I am so far behind in posting that I think I will have enough to post for the next coupl eof weeks without creating anything new.

This is a retired stamp set, but with my volunteer class I am able to use retired stock & stamp sets – I get to have a little extra play with them before I decide to sell.

Measurements –
Base Card – Concord Crush – 8 1/4″ x 5 7/8″ or 22cm x 15cm – Score in the middle & fold in half

Layer 1 – Whisper White – 4″ x 5 3/4″ or 10cm x 14cm
Layer 2 – DSP – Peach Parfait – 3 7/8″ x 2 5/8″,  Pear Pearazz – 3 7/8″ x 1 1/2″, Blushing Bride = 3 7/8″ x 1″
Layer 3 – Concord Crush – 2 5/8″ x 3 1/8″
Layer 4 – Whisper White – 2 1/2″ x 3″

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Fast & Fabulous (Retired)
Ink – Poppy parade, Concord Crush, Staz-On
Cardstock – Concord Crush, Whisper White
DSP – In Colours – 2010-2012 Designer Series Paper
Ribbon – 1/2″ Stitched Poly- Poppy Parade
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Rhinestones, Aqua Painter, Mini Glue Dots

I adhered all 3 pieces of DSP to the piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Snail Adhesive, prior to adhering the piece of Poppy Parade Ribbon to the top of the Pear Pizzazz DSP.

I stamped the image onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Black Staz-On Ink, while at the same time stamping 3 more images onto scrap Whisper White Cardstock, cut the 3 images out & set aside.

With my Aqua Painter, I picked up a little Poppy Parade Ink at a time & slowly coloured the flowers.  I wasn’t too careful about the colouring, as I think this image calls for this sort of colouring.  I coloured the 3 larger images at the same time – 1 in Poppy Parade Ink, while the other 2 were in Concord Crush.

With my Paper Piercer & Mat, I punched holes in the top right hand side of the stamped Whisper White prior to adhering to the Concord Crush Cardstcok & adhering to the DSP.

The 3 larger flowers were adhered to the DSP with Mini Glue Dots.  The whole lot was then adhered to the Base Card – Concord Crush.

To finish the card, I applied Clear Rhinestones to the centres.

 

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Thank You…

I did mention previously that I was way behind in my posting, so I am going to try & catch up, but the hard part is thinking what cards I have created & where they are – have I already posted them, given them away????

The card today is one we created at my Friday’s Volunteer Class.  We had lots of fun with this card, but I was a little cruel to the ladies.  I actually forgot to take my punch, so had to quickly make up a couple of pages of different size hearts on the computer so they could complete their card.

Measurements –
Base Card – Very Vanilla – 8 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ or 21cm x 15cm – Scored in the middle & folded in half
Layer 1 – DSP – 3 7/8″ x 5 5/8″ or 14cm x 10cm
Layer 2 – Soft Suede – 4 3/4″ x 2″ or 12cm x 5cm
Layer 3 – DSP – 4 5/8″ x 1 7/8″ or 11.5cm x 4.5cm
?
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Short & Sweet
Ink – Blushing Bride, Soft Suede

?
Inside Card…

Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
DSP – IN Colours DSP
Ribbon – Crochet Trim – Chantilly
Punches – Full Heart, Oval, Scallop Oval
Brad – Antique Brads
Accessories – Mini Glue Dots, Sponge Daubers, Snail Adhesive, Tombow Multipurpose Glue

I grabbed my Sponge Dauber & inked around the edges of the large piece & small piece of DSP with Soft Suede Ink.  The large piece was adhered to the Base Card – Very Vanilla, while the smaller piece of DSP was adhered to the piece of Soft Suede Cardstock using Snail Adhesive.

Using the Full Heart Punch, I punched 20 hearts from the IN Colours DSP, sponged my Dauber around each heart with Soft Suede Ink, applied a small amount of Tombow Multipurpose Glue to the bottom part of the hearts & adhered them together ensuring that they were stacked on top of each other.  I made the flower so that it had 4 hearts for the base of the flower & then built on these 4 flowers.  In total you should have 5 layers on each heart.

Using my Bone Scorer, I turned up the edges of each petal to give the flower a little “character”.

I tied a double bow from the Crochet Ribbon, wrapped the Brad around the middle pror to adhering to the middle of the flower using a Mini Glue Dot.  The flower was then applied to the Base Card with a couple of Mini Glue Dots.

The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with Blushing Bride Ink, punched with the Oval Punch, sponged around the edges with Soft Suede Ink, adhered to a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock which had been punched with the Scallop Oval Punch & adhered to the Base Card.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Friday’s Card…

For those who don’t want to do the Recipe Swap, I always have a kit ready.  It is made up of the same colours & usually along the line of the Recipe Page.

Measurements –
Base Card – Concord Crush – 8 1/4″ x 5 7/8″ or 21cm x 15cm – Scored down the middle & folded in half
Layer 1 – Poppy Parade – 5 3/4″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm
Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 3 7/8″ or 14cm x 9.5cm
?Layer 4 – Blushing Bride – 3 7/8″ x 2″ or 9.5cm x 5cm
Layer 5 – DSP – 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″ x 9.5cm x 4cm

Supplies –

Inside Card…

Stamp Set – Fabuloues Florets, Heard from the Heart
Ink – Concord Crush, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz
Cardstock – Whisper White, Concord Crush, Blushing Bride, Poppy Parade
Punches – Scallop Trim Border
Ribbon – 1/2″ Polly- Stitched – Blushing Bride
Accessories – Stampin’ Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive

Technique – Rock & Roll
1  Ink your image with a light coloured ink
2  Ink the edges of this image with a darker coloured ink by rolling edges of the image onto the ink pad
3  Stamp your image onto your Cardstock
4  You are able to repeat the above step using yet another darker coloured ink if you wish
5  For more images of the same stamp, repeat as many times as you like

I punched along both sides of the Blushing Bride Cardstock using the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  Ensure that you punch along the long sides of this piece.  I adhered the piece of DSP to the top of the punched piece of Cardstock with Snail Adhesive, adhered the piece of ribbon along the middle, tucked ends under, tied a knot on the LHS & set aside.

The stem image was stamped direct onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Pear Pizzazz Ink.  The sentiment was inked in Concord Crush Ink & stamped on the side of the Whisper White Cardstock.  This piece was adhered to the piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock & then to the Base Card – Concord Crush with Snail Adhesive.  I then adhered the punched piece of Cardstock to the top of the card, ensuring the piece went down along the bottom.

I applied the Rock & Roll Technique to my flower image, cut around it & applied to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I will admit that I meant to do a background on the piece of Whisper White Cardstock prior to doing my stamping, but forgot all about it until I had put the card together……

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

I am a little behind in my postings of late, well to be truthful a lot!

The last Friday of the month is our Recipe Swap arvo at the Community Centre.  This week we had a recipe from Bronwyn.

I am also tryng to use up some of my stock of the 2010 “In Colours” before they retire in September.  The colours I’ve used here are the ones I am going to really miss, but then knowing Stmpin’ Up! they always replace the old with a lovely new bright range.

Base Card – Concord Crush – 8 1/4″ x 6″ or 21cm x 15cm
Layer 1 – Blushing Bride – 6″ x 2 1/2″ or 15cm x 6.5cm
Layer 2 – DSP – 6″ x 2 1/8″ or 15cm x 5.5cm

Cardstock – Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Whisper White
DSP – In Colours Designer Series Paper Stack
Ribbon – 1/2″ Poly-Stitched – Blushing Bride

Accessories – Stampin’ Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive

I printed the recipe out onto the piece of Whisper White Cardstock & adhered to  the piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock with Snail Adhesive & set aside.

The piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock was punched along both long sides with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, adhered to the piece of Concord Crush Cardstock with Snail Adhesive.  The piece of DSP was adhered to the centre of this strip with Snail Adhesive, ribbon tied around the middle, ends tucked under & a knot tied off to the LHS.

The recipe was then adhered to the Cardstock with Snail Adhesive.

I stamped 3 flower images onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock, cut around the images & adhered two of the images to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals while the third image was adhered with Snail Adhesive.

Check back tomorrow & I will have the card we did for those who don’t want to do the recipe page.
