Large Number Framelits, Shaving Cream and Embossing Paste 21st Card

I was voted to make this very special card by my family for my cousin who turned 21 yesterday. I checked the theme for the party and it was a beach a theme which was perfect as recently in a Team Meeting we did shaving foam technique with Dapper Denim and Pool Party reinkers so it went perfectly with this card for the water of the ocean.

 

I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire using the Z-Fold card design to make a portrait fold out card. I did add an extra little flap on the back so the card stands up all in Soft Sky card stock. To decorate the card I started with the background and used the NEW Embossing Paste from Stampin' Up! with the cloud mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, while this was drying I did my stamping (the paste dried quicker than the time it took to prep the rest) I trimmed a piece of Vellum, the shaving cream piece and Sahara Sand card stock pieces to the width of the card and tore the tops of them to mimic the waves sea and sand. the Sahara Sand card stock piece is stamped with the dots stamp from the Timeless Texture stamp set in Sahara sand ink and the Grass stamp from the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set in Always Articoke ink and attached them to front flap of the card. The numbers were die cut in the Big Shot using the Large Number Framelits from Dapper Denim and Sahara Sand card stock layered then together and added under the sand layer. The happy birthday stamp came from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set in Dapper Denim ink and the frame also from the same stamp set in Sahara Sand ink and punched out using the coordinating Classic Label Punch. I added Wink of Stellar to the numbers to add an extra pop to finish the card.

Timeless Textures, Crazy about You with Large Number Framelits Guest Book

I was asked last year to decorate a Guest Book for a friend. I matched it to the card that I made for the same event that you can find HERE. I have kept it very simiar and used Smokey Slate, Basic Grey and Basic Black card stock and ink along with Whisper White Card stock. I added all the texture and background stamping using the Timeless Textures stamp set. I die cut the 40 in the Big Shot using the Large Number Framelits in Silver Glimmer Paper and stamped the "th" from the coordinating Number of Years stamp set. I stamped the Happy and Birthday from the retiring Crazy about You stamp set which is also retiring and punched out using the Classic Label Punch. The name was stamped with my favourite and will miss so very much Layering Letters Alphabet and added some sliver sequins as a finishing touch.

I am back from a huge blogging break!!! I had a few huge projects to complete but I hope to get back into the swing of sharing my projects with you.

This a card that I was asked to make for a Friend's Brother's 40th Birthday. I really do love making these types of special cards

To make this card I stamped the Timeless Texture stamp set in Layers on Whisper White card stock with Archival Basic Grey and Black and Smokey Slate inks. I stamped the 40 and Happy Birthday sentiments from the Number of Years stamp set with the same inks. I mounted the stamped piece to a Basic Black card base. To finish the card I stamped another panels for the inside to with on.

Confetti Celebration and Gorgeous Grunge with Large Letter Framelits Card using PPA310

We have a big birthday in our house this week and I thought this weeks Pals Paper Arts Sketch fitted what I had in mind perfectly. I was recently reminded that the Brick embossing folder is perfect for male/boy cards so I bought it with my son's card in mind and paired it with colour from our Regals colour family. 

I started the card with a piece of watercolour paper and with my Tip Top Taupe ink I pushed the lid of the ink pad to get a pool of ink onto the lid and wet my watercolour piece and with my Aqua Painter put a light wash of colour all over the piece and dried it with my Heat Tool. Next I stamped the texture stamp from the Timeless Textures stamp set in both full Tip Top Taupe ink and stamped off, I also added paint splatters from Gorgeous Grunge with Cajun Craze ink also with some stamped off. Using the Big Shot I embossed the watercolour piece with the Brick wall embossing folder and cut the 12 using the Large Laters Framelits from Crushed Curry card stock. I finished off the embossed piece by taking the Aqua Painter and Tip Top Taupe ink nd paint in the grout lines of the bricks and added some stars in Always Artichoke ink from the Confetti Celebrations Stamp Set. Also using the Confetti celebrations stamp set I stamped the YAY star in Island Indigo ink and "It's YOUR day" in Always Artichoke ink with on Whisper White card stock, I cute out the star with scissors and punch the word with the Duet Banner Punch and added sponged with some Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze ink. I created a base for my 12 using my 1 3/4" and 1 1/2" circle punches with Cajun Craze and Vellum card stock and clued them all tother flat using TomBow Multi Purpose Adhesive. I adhered the 12 piece using our Foam Adhesive strips which layers just perfectly higher than our Stampin' Dimensionals which I used to adhere the star and finally the banner directly to the background. I adhered the Watercolour piece to an Island Indigo card base with Fast Fuse to help combat the small amor of warping I had. As a final touch I carefully added Clear Wink of Stellar to the 12 to make it pop.

Timeless Textures and Mixed Borders with GDP #033 Colour Challenge

I have been missing in action due to school holiday but I am back in action with this week's Global Design Project - Colour Challenge #033 and a look at a new stamp set

I started the project with a piece of Thick Whisper White card stock slightly smaller than  the card front. I took the 3 ink pads for the colour challenge, Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral and Night of Navy and sponged them onto the card stock with a wedge of out Stampin' Sponges for each colour making sure to overlap/blend the colours into each other. Next I took the Timeless Textures scratched stamp and stamped off each colour before stamping onto each sponged colour. I stamped a number of the stamps from the Timeless Textures stamp set in Sahara Sand around and on a diagonal on the card to finish the background. I also stamped off these stamped on a same sized piece of Thick Whisper White card stock for the inside panel. I stamped the sentiment from Mixed Borders into a scrap of Thick Whisper White in Calypso Coral and punch with our 2" circle punch. I used the excess ink from my sponges to create a softer but similar background on the sentiment and the inside panel. I mounted the card front to a Night of Navy card base with Stampin' Dimensionals and sentiment also on Stampin Dimensionals. The inside panel was adhered to the inside using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

You can how my design process works, hints and some chat with friends by watching the video for how I made this card on Periscope till 6pm Wednesday 27th April

Timeless Textures, Celebrate Today Stamps and Perfect Pairings Sale-a-Bration Card

I few months ago I was asked to make a custom card for a colleges mothers 60th. It was made during a blackout by a camping lantern light..... but it did make the night go quickly. Knowing her style I knew Timeless Textures and monochromatic card was the way to go I did case (copy everything and share) the card from Angela Lorenz.

To make this card front I took a piece Whisper White Card stock slightly smaller than a card base and my Basic Grey and Basic Black Archival inks along with Smokey Slate and built up layers using the various stamps from Timeless Textures in the three colours. To create the sentiment piece I punched 2 circles using the our circle punches in Vellum and Black card stock. I stamped Happy Birthday from the Celebrate Today in Black Archival Ink on Basic Grey card stock and adhered them using Stampin' Dimensionals. Next I decorated the inside of the card to match the front using the Smokey Slate ink and a number from the Timeless Textures stamps. To create the sentiment I stamped the 60th from the Project Life Day to Day stamp set and Horray to you for the Sale-a-Bration set Perfect Pairings in Basic Black Archival Ink.

I really wasn't feeling my Mojo today so I grabbed up the Mojo Monday sketch 435 and a two simple stamp sets Botanicals For You from the Sale-a-Bration and Timeless Textures from the Occasions Catalogue and just went for it.

Now that I have chosen my stamp sets. I went looking for some Designer Series Paper and our Bohemian set stood out. I chose the patterns I wanted and trimmed them down and adhered them to a Delightful Dijon Card base. Next I took some scrap Very Vanilla card stock and stamped the Just for You from Botancals For You in Basic Black Archival Ink and then took the Timeless Textures stamps and Layered them stamping in Delightful Dijon, Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo. I trimmed the piece down and matted it with another piece of Bohemian Paper an attached it with Stampin' Dimensionals. To add a finishing touch I punched 3 flowers from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack from Island Indigo, Delightful Dijon and Blackberry Bliss with a Rhinestone Basic Jewel in middle of each and adhered them to the card with Glue Dots.
