Hand Stamped Cards with Josee Smuck-Stampin' Up! Canada Demonstrator

Good Morning!

Today's I've got another look at a card made with the Picture Perfect starfish. This one makes me think of the beach without it being a beach scene card. Love that!

How To Make It: 

1. Stamp the grid stamp in Soft Suede from Timeless Textures onto patterned piece and continue onto base card.

2. Stamp the leaf stamp in Garden Green onto patterned piece from right hand side going towards centre and up. Stamp small spotty stamp from Timeless Textures over patterned piece and base card where grid has been stamped. Stamp sentiment from Picture Perfect on patterned piece in the top left. Adhere patterned piece to Soft Suede piece with Fast Fuse.

2. Draw a line of glue with the Fine Tip Glue pen 1” from bottom of patterned layer and affix Lace trim to panel. Using Tear n Tape adhere Burlap ribbon slighty overlapping the top of the lace trim. Adhere this panel to base card using Dimensionals

3. Stamp your starfish. Top Starfish is in Dapper Denim and base Starfish is Soft Sky. TIP: I find it easier to line up if I do the darker stamp first – much easier to see than a paler colour through the block and photopolymer rubber. Cut out with paper snips.

4. Scrunch your Navy Baker’s Twine up and place on panel – it’s ok to be messy here – don’t use any glue/adhesive to stick this down – you just want it messy and in a circle. Affix Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of your starfish and place over your ‘messy’ twine. The Stampin' Dimensionals will hold your twine in place – use extra dimensionals on the back of the starfish so you hold all the twine.

5. Decorate your card with Navy Enamel dots and Rhinestones.

I had been playing with the Pop of Paradise stamp set and came up with this simple but fun flamingo card! You can also check out yesterday's card  here. 

How To Make It: 

I started this card with a base of Whisper White Thick cardstock. Then I added a mat layer of Dapper Denim cardstock and then regular Whisper White. 

On the Whisper White layer, I randomly stamped the Thinking of You heart from Pop of Paradise in Sweet Sugarplum ink, stamping 'off' on a scrap sheet before stamping some of them on the cardstock.

I die cut the waves from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and Dapper Denim cardstock and used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to add them to the stamped Whisper White layer. 

I tied some Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon to the layers and then adhered the layers to the cardbase. 

Finally, I stamped the flamingo from Pop of Paradise onto a scrap piece of Whisper White – first placing the stamp in the Flirty Flamingo ink and then edging the stamp with some Sweet Sugarplum ink. Then I used Paper Snips to cut the flamingo out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to mount it to the card front. 

As a final touch, I topped the flamingo with Clear Wink of Stella to add a sparkly touch!

Hello! 

Another summer lovin' card 🙂 I just love the Pop of Paradise stamp set for it's fun summer inspired stamps!

How To Make It: 

Start the card with a base of Whisper White Thick cardstock. Then, cut some Flirty Flamingo cardstock with the Sunburst Thinlit and adhere that to the card base.

On watercolor paper, use Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach ink and the Aqua Painters to create the sunset looking background and allow that to dry.  Die cut the watercolor paper with the Lots of Labels Framelits. Then use Emerald Envy ink to stamp the leaves from Pop of Paradise at the top, stamp the flamingo with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamp some 'splashes' from Timeless Textures with Dapper Denim ink. Adhere the die cut to the card front using a little Tear and Tape Adhesive. 

Stamp the sentiment from Pop of Paradise on a strip of Whisper White and punch the tips with the Triple Banner punch. Take a strip of Emerald Envy and punch those ends to create a mat layer for under the sentiment. 

Before adhering the sentiment layers, take the Fine Tip Glue Pen and add a 'water' effect to the Dapper Denim 'splashes'- its okay if the ink runs a bit. Allow that to dry before adding the sentiment or carefully add the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals and allow the card to dry.
