Birthday Cards

Texture Chic Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!

Published on February 21, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I thought I would share with you another card I created using the sketch Layout from Week 1 of Caseing the Mini Catalogue with Robbie.

This Sketch Layout was taken from Page 12 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

You can see the original project, measurements – imperial & metric – by clicking HERE.

I created this card for the female. The original was created for the males.

The DSP layer was adhered to a piece of Basic White Cardstock prior to being adhered to a Petal Pink Base Card.

To create the background on the Basic White panel, I used one of the masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Petal Pink Ink & a Blending Brush. I am loving the soft effect, don’t you?

Look at the lovely rich Gold Distressed Paper! It goes so well with the whole Collection.

The shells are from the Season of Chic Stamp Set, stamped onto Very Vanilla Cardstock with Soft Suede & Pool Party Inks prior to die cutting with the die from the Chic Dies. The sentiment is from the same Stamp Set & stamped with Soft Suede Ink.

Here is a video on how the original card was created.

Artistically Inked

Published on November 29, 2022November 27, 2022 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Today I am sharing with you the card I created for our series of CASEing the Catalogue.

Of course, we couldn’t go past the front cover of the Annual Catalogue without doing our version of the cover. The colours & design are so bright & fun. I never tire of looking at the cover.

I decided to go with Artistically Ink Stamp Set along with the matching Artistic Dies. Both of which I haven’t played with in some time. Although in saying that, I’ve only used the sentiment from the Stamp Set after all!

A piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock was embossed with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder while the die cut flower shape has been sponged with Sponge Daubers with Old Olive, So Saffron, Merry Merlot & Balmy Blue Inks.

The sentiment has been stamped with Merry Merlot Ink before being cut back to size & shape. A piece of the Gold & Vanilla Satin-Edged Ribbon was adhered behind the sentiment prior to being adhered across the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To see how I coloured the die cut flower, be sure to check out the video. I also show bonus projects to inspire you.

To complete the card, Palye Papaya Opal Rounds were randomly added to the card front.

I’m loving the colours of Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue & Very Vanilla along with the Ink colours.

Sunny Splash

Published on August 18, 2022August 19, 2022 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I have an easy but fun technique for you today. I first saw this somewhere in my social media feed either TickTok, Pinterest or FB. I’m not sure which but it stuck in the back of my mind & thought I would give it ago.

To create my bubbles, I’ve used Coastal Cabana Ink along with a Sponge Dauber. You could also use your Blending Brushes if you wish along with as many colours as you like.

It would be great to see the same effect with different shapes or even balloons.

I am loving the soft colour of Coastal Cabana along with the Bermuda Bay togs & Basic Grey sentiment. What about the bling? They are the Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds which just pops the card even more.

Friends are like Seashells

Published on June 21, 2022June 19, 2022 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

GDay Friends,

Thank you so much for popping by today! It is always very much appreciated.

Today sees the return of my Feature of the Week. I’m happy to say that it is returning with one of my favourite Stamp Sets from the Annual Catalogue – Friends are like Seashells.

This is one I’ve cased from Pinterest & of course now I can’t find it to give credit to the creator. If you recognise it, please let me know.

It’s been yonks since I’ve played with my Water Painters so when I saw this lovely card I thought it the perfect timing to dig them out & play around a little.

The colours I’ve used for the background are Bermuda Bay & Soft Suede. I think I also mixed a little Crumb Cake there too.
