Hello Animals

Posted on August 30, 2021August 30, 2021 by Josee

The Peekaboo Farm Animals are soooo cute and made this card super fun to make. I loved colouring the pig like he just rolled around in the mud. 😉

Dimensions

  • Crumb Cake: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Balmy Blue: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Directions:

  1. Stamp the clouds on Balmy Blue cardstock using its matching ink pad. Adhere the Stamp the stone wall with Memento ink on Shimmery White cardstock side by side until you have the length covered.
  2. Colour the grout using Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blend. Once it’s fully coloured, you can go around with the Color Lifter to make it look a bit more realistic.
  3. Colour the stones using the Dark Crumb Cake along with the Dark Cinnamon Cider.
  4. Cut the stone part out using Paper Snips leaving a bit of white at the top. Adhere the stone wall to the card leaving a bit of the top part without adhesive so that you can fit the animals behind the wall a bit.
  5. Stamp the animals on Shimmery White cardstock using Memento ink then colour them using Stampin’ Blends. Cut out each animal with Paper Snips. Adhere each animal to the card while tucking the bottom of them behind the wall a bit.
  6. Stamp the paws of each animal on Shimmery White cardstock, colour them with Dark Smoky Slate and Light Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. Cut them out using Paper Snips. Add each paw to the card using a Mini Dimensional.
  7. Add Washi Tape or tape to cover the word “There” on the greeting stamp. Ink the stamp with Memento ink, then remove the Washi Tape and stamp it on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock. Cut out using the small circle on the die. Add it to the card using Dimensionals.
  8. Tie a piece of Baker’s Twine in a bow and add it to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.

I Can’t Thank You Enough

Posted on August 25, 2021August 23, 2021 by Josee

The Feels Like Home stamp set is one of the Sale-A-Bration stamps sets which means that you can get it FREE right now with the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration sale when you spend a minimum of $60. ? It’s a great set to colour if you like colouring!

Dimensions

  • Highland Heather: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″  AND approx. 3/8″ x 2 1/2″
  • Balmy Blue: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Basic Black: 4 15/16″ x 3 11/16″
  • Watercolor Paper: 3 1/2″ x 4 7/8″

Directions: 

  1. Stamp the image on the Watercolor Paper using Stazon ink. (I used the Stamparatus so that I was able to stamp it a few times to make the image dark on the paper).
  2. Colour the image by pressing the ink pads on a stamping block, then picking up the ink with a Water Painter. I like to use a small bowl of water and pick up water from there, then mixing the ink with the water on the block. Add a bit of colour at a time and layer the colour a bit at a time until you get the colour the way you want it. Let dry.
  3. Stamp the greeting at the bottom of a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock. Cut the greeting out close to the top of the greeting.
  4. Adhere all layers using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the greeting with Dimensionals.

A Reminder To Never Forget

Posted on August 24, 2021August 23, 2021 by Josee

Dimensions:

  • Soft Suede: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Crumb Cake: 4″ x 5 1/4″  AND  3/4″ x 2 3/4″

Directions:

  1. Stamp the small flower on the Crumb Cake cardstock using its matching ink pad.
  2. Pour a bit of bleach into a container, use the Small Water Painter to pick up the bleach and sprinkle it on the Crumb Cake cardstock.
  3. Tap the Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend on top of the cardstock to add splotches/dots.
  4. Use a dauber to pick up Soft Suede ink, then swipe it all around the edges of the cardstock.
  5. Use the side of the Paper Snips or scissors to rough up the edges of the cardstock. Adhere the layer to the card.
  6. Stamp the large flowers on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock by first inking it with Versamark then inking it next with the Soft Suede ink pad.
  7. Sprinkle Clear Embossing Powder onto the image, tap off the excess then use the Heat Tool to melt the powder.
  8. Pick up bleach with the small Water Painter and use it to bleach the inside of the flowers, stems and leaves. The bleach will take out colour from the cardstock. (Tip: make sure you wash your Water Painter with water right away after using bleach)
  9. Colour the flowers and leaves with Watercolor Pencils. Use the Water Painter to blend the colours. I used the Real Red pencil on the top of each flower and Pumpkin Pie near the tips, then blended.
  10. Use the same methods as above to add Soft Suede and bleach splotches.
  11. Cut out the flowers with the 2 7/8″ circle die.
  12. Use dauber with Soft Suede ink to add ink to the edges of the circle. Add circle to the card using Dimensionals.
  13. Stamp the greeting on the small piece of cardstock using Soft Suede ink. Cut out ends using Paper Snips. Use dauber to add colour to the edges. Add the greeting to the card using Dimensionals.
  14. Colour a piece of ribbon using the dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. Make a bow and add it to the card using Glue Dots.

How stamps are made!

Posted on August 21, 2021August 21, 2021 by Josee

I’ve been lucky enough to go to the Stampin’ Up! facility in person and have seen the process of how stamps are made. It’s a really neat process that I even got to be a part of. I was able to cut the stamps and package them with all the parts. The staff work so hard to get the stamps out fast and in perfect condition.

Check out the video here:

 

The video features the Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Feels Like Home that you can get for FREE with a min. $60 order.
