Good Things

Posted on September 5, 2023September 7, 2023 by Josee

If you know someone who loves to fish or are looking for a masculine stamp set, the “Gone Fishing” stamp set is perfect to create with!

Supplies:

  • Stamp Set/Bundle: Gone Fishing (161542)
  • Cardstock: Very Vanilla Thick (144237), Very Vanilla (101650), Pebbled Path (161722), Silver Foil (156457), Wild Wheat (161752)
  • Ink: Mossy Meadow (147111), Petal Pink (147108), Boho Blue (161650), Calypso Coral (147101), Misty Moonlight (153118), Pecan Pie (161665)
  • Other: Natural Wavy Trim (161517), Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems (161288), Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder (161545)
  • Tools& Accessories: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Take Your Pick (144107), Bone Folder (102300), Paper Trimmer (152392), Paper Snips (103579)
  • Adhesives: Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Mini Glue Dots (103683)

Measurements:

  • Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock: 11” x 4 ¼” (scored at 5 ½”)
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock: 5” x 3 ¾” and scrap for elements
  • Pebbled Path: 5 ½” x 4 ¼” to cut out top of fishing tackle box, the rectangle is one of the pieces cut from the middle.

Instructions:

  1. Stamp lots of the elements in Pebbled Path ink and a selection of the colours listed. For the fish I stamped in one colour and sponged a darker colour on the top or bottom to give it a two-tone effect.
  2. Die cut the shapes once stamped.
  3. Stamp the sentiment by inking in Pecan Pie ink and sponging some Mossy Meadow Ink on top to get the two-tone effect. Trim to fit inside the Pebbled Path rectangle.
  4. Cut out some silver foil hooks.
  5. Emboss the Very Vanilla panel using the Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder and glue to card front using Multipurpose Glue.
  6. Take two pieces of the Natural Wavy Trim (approx. 4” and 2”) and tease it apart a little to ‘rough it up’
  7. Start by sticking the wavy trim to the bottom right of the card using Mini Glue Dots. Arrange the elements around and on top of the trim until you are happy with it using a mixture of multipurpose glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  8. Add the sentiment and add some further elements to the top left of the card until you are happy with your design.
  9. Finally add a few of the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to complete your card.

Thank You Kindly Stampin’ Up

Posted on August 22, 2023August 22, 2023 by Josee

I love how this card turned out! Copper Clay is one of our new colours and I love it paired with Calypso Coral!

Dimensions

  • Copper Clay: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
  • Calypso Coral: 4″ x 5 1/4″  and  3/4″ x 2 1/2″
  • Basic White: 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″

Directions:

  1. Use the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder to add texture to the Calypso Coral cardstock.
  2. Pick up ink from the Copper Clay ink pad then rub it across some of the embossed parts of the texture. Adhere layer to the card base.
  3. Stamp the flower vase on Basic White cardstock using Memento black ink. Colour it with the Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends. Cut it out using the coordinating die.
  4. Stamp the stems on Basic White cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink.
  5. Stamp the outline flowers carefully to match up with the stems using Calypso Coral ink.
  6. Ink up the bold flower stamp using Calypso Coral ink, stamp once on scrap paper and then stamp it so it lines up with the outline flowers. (This will create a lighter colour on each flower)
  7. Repeat #6 so you have 2 flower stems.
  8. Use the scallop rectangle die to cut out a piece of Basic White cardstock. Cut it so it is about 2 1/2″ wide. Adhere it to the card on the left side.
  9. Adhere one of the flower stems directly on the Basic White cardstock so that will line up under the vase.
  10. Place the 2nd flower stem on card using dimensionals.
  11. Cut out a short piece of ribbon to add to the vase. (I taped the right hand side of ribbon behind the vase and for the left hand side of ribbon, I used a glue dot.)
  12. Add dimensionals to vase and add it to the card.
  13. Stamp the greeting on Calypso Coral cardstock using Copper Clay ink. Cut then end in a “V”. Add it to the card using Dimensionals.
  14. Add 3 Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins.

Measurements:

  • Garden Green 5 ½” x 8 ½”
  • Calypso Coral 4” x 5 ¼”
  • Basic White 3 ¾ ” x 5”
  • Granny Apple Green 3 ¾” x 5”

Instructions:

  1. Adhere the Calypso Coral cardstock to the card base.
  2. Use a blending brush to pick up ink from the Garden Green ink pad and use a circular motion to make some spots darker.
  3. Cut the Foam Adhesive Sheet to fit the back of the Granny Apple Green Cardstock. (You will need to piece 2 foam sheets to the back to fill it up)
  4. Use the leaf die to cut out the cardstock/foam layer. (I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine twice to make sure it cut all the way through)
  5. Remove all the extra pieces from the design then take the backing off to place it to the Basic White cardstock. Once done, adhere the layers to the Calypso Coral cardstock.
  6. Use the Calypso Coral and Garden Green Stampin’ Write markers to colour on to the stamp directly. “Huff” on the stamp to moisten it, then stamp the image on a scrap Basic White cardstock.
  7. Cut out the image using Paper Snips.
  8. Use the Calypso Coral marker to colour the white Baker’s Twine. Once dry, tie a bow around the stems of the flowers. Adhere the flowers to the card.
  9. Stamp the greeting using Calypso Coral ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock.
  10. Cut out the greeting using the tag die from the Nested Essentials Dies. Adhere it to the card.
  11. Add 2 White Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins.
