Celebrate with cake

Posted on February 28, 2020February 26, 2020 by Josee

Happy Friday! I am in LOVE with this stamp set! Though it has one main stamp with a bunch of greetings, it really can be stamped in many different ways. I decided for this card, to make a pretty birthday or wedding card. I played with water colouring using an Aqua Painter and ink. I don’t have them yet (they’re on their way), but, there is also a coordinating set of Dies that take this stamp set even further! 🙂 I’m getting the birthday dies in my order tomorrow.

Dimensions:

Granny Apple Green: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
Pool Party: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Flirty Flamingo: 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
Watercolor Paper: 3″ x 3 5/8″

Directions:

  1. Run the Pool Party cardstock through a die-cut machine with the Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder. Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere to card. (I put the background upside down to give it a more subtle effect)
  2. Use the dotted stamp to stamp a background on the Flirty Flamingo cardstock using the matching ink.
  3. Colour the Whisper White Crinkled Ribbon using the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Wrap around the Flirty Flamingo cardstock and tie in a knot. Use the Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere to the card.
  4.  Stamp the cake stamp using Versamark, add Black Embossing Powder, tap off then heat set using the Heat Tool.
  5. Press the Pool Party ink pad on to a Stampin’ block and use an Aqua Painter to pick up colour and watercolour the cake. Let dry a bit and do it again with a bit less water. Do the same to colour the flowers and leaves.
  6. Stamp some areas with the spot stamp using Basic Gray. You can stamp multiple times before re-inking to have different shades. Adhere to card using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
  7. Stamp the greeting on Watercolor Paper using Basic Gray. Cut out using Paper Snips, then add to the card using Mini Dimensionals. (Tip: move paper when cutting instead of moving the scissors to make the cuts smoother)

To A Great Guy

Posted on February 27, 2020March 1, 2020 by Josee

 

Dimensions: 

Gray Granite: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ AND  x  2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
Night of Navy: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Shimmery White: 2 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ AND 1 13/16″ x 7/16″

Directions: 

  1. Stamp the Night of Navy cardstock randomly with trucks using the Night of Navy ink to create the background. Adhere to card.
  2. Stamp the truck on to the Shimmery White cardstock using Memento ink.
  3. Colour the truck using the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends. (I found that the light and dark colours were very similar so I used the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to remove some of the colour to create highlights)
  4. Colour the tires and accessories with the Smoky Slate blends.
  5. Stamp the tire marks in Gray Granite ink, then use an Aqua Painter to add a bit more colour of ink. Adhere layer to the Gray Granite mat and adhere both to the card.
  6. Stamp the greeting using Memento black ink and add to the card using Mini Dimensionals.
