Beautiful Moments with Mom and Daughter

Posted on May 5, 2020 by Josee

Isn’t this image so special and beautiful?! This card is simple as it really is just about colouring with blends, but, I thought adding a bit of texture would add a little something extra! 🙂

Here is the difference between the flat layer and the one with texture:

Directions: 

  1. Stamp images on Whisper White cardstock using Memento Black cardstock.
  2. Colour images with Stampin’ Blends.
  3. Add texture to cardstock using the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.
  4. Adhere all layers together using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
  5. Wrap Whisper White Baker’s Twine around card and tie in a bow.

Happy Little Piggy with a skirt

Posted on May 2, 2020May 2, 2020 by Josee

I love how these cards turned out. I’ve been colouring a lot with the Stampin’ Blends lately, but, for these cards, I brought out my Aquapainter and ink colours. 🙂 The “This Little Piggy” stamp set is on the Last Chance List…so make sure you get it before it’s gone! 🙂

This is the first version I made of this card. I used the Layering Oval Dies and decided to stamp some clouds in the background to fill in some of the empty space.

Check out the VIDEO

CARD 1Dimensions: 

  • Coastal Cabana: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
  • Basic Black: 2″ x 5 1/4″
  • Blushing Bride: 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
  • Watercolor Paper: 3 1/2″ x 4″  (Oval: 3 1/4″ long)

CARD 2

This one, I chose to use the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and then popped up the layer using dimensionals.

Dimensions: 

  • Coastal Cabana: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
  • Blushing Bride: 3 3/4″ x 5″

This Little COVID-19 Piggy

Posted on April 27, 2020April 23, 2020 by Josee


Last-Chance Products

 

So sad! The “This Little Piggy” is on the Last-Chance List. Get this adorable stamp set before it’s gone! 

It’s going to be a different kind of Mother’s Day this year and I think that this card is very fitting. My mom is no longer with us as she passed away from Lung Cancer years ago, but, I am thankful that all my kids are still home (for now) and I can be them at home. 🙂


Measurements:
• Pool Party CS: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”; scrap for die-cutting
• Whisper White: 4” x 5-1/4”; ¾” x ½”; 2 pieces at 1/8” x ½”; scrap for die-cutting
• DSP: 4-1/8” x 5-3/8”
• Ribbon: about 12”

Instructions:
1. Burnish the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder.
2. Stamp the pig in Petal Pink ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS, then die cut using a scalloped rectangle die.
3. Die-cut a slightly larger rectangle from a scrap of Pool Party CS.
4. Colour the pig with Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers, and its feet in Light Crumb Cake.
5. Score the ¾” x ½” Whisper White CS every 1/8” on the Simply Scored.
6. Glue the DSP layer onto the front of the card base.
7. Glue the Pool Party CS die cut layer onto the DSP layer at an angle.
8. Glue the pig layer over the Pool Party CS layer at an angle.
9. Glue the two 1/8” strips of Whisper White CS and the scored mask onto the pig’s face.
10. Tie the ribbon in a bow and adhere it onto the card using Mini Glue Dots.
11. Glue the Whisper White CS onto the inside of the card base.
