Truly Tailored and Diagonal Stripe Masculine Card #CI25

Today I am playing with the Colour Inspiration Challenge #CI25 with the colours Night of Navy, Lemon Lime Twist and Whisper White with Truly Tailored and Diagonal Stripe stamp sets from Stampin' Up!. I also added the Stitched Shapes Framelits, Tailored Tag Punch and True Gentleman Button with Linen Tread.



I stamped the main sentiment on Vellum using the Stamparatus so it didn't slip. I also used the Hill stamp with Night of Navy ink onto the same colour paper to add a pattered layer.

Clear Mount Backgrounds can sometimes be hard to stamp evenly. I have seen this technique used before so here it is in pictures with the Stamparatus.

Adhere stamp to the plate towards the outer edge and ink up the stamp 

Add piece of card stock over your inked stamp

Close your Stamparatus base to plate (upside down)

Flip your Stamparatus right way up keeping it closed and add pressure to transfer ink to your paper.

Open and your card stock will perfectly stamped and positioned without using extra paper or the magnet.

The Stamparatus will available to purchase in the upcoming Annual catalogue

Lovely Inside & Out with Christmas Pines Card - GSF Blog Hop

There is nothing more Festive in Australia than Christmas In July as it actually cold and not scorching hot, so participating in this month's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop Christmas with a Twist was an easy one to say YES to. While we all eagerly await the Stampin' Up! 2017 Holiday catalogue we are all thinking outside the square with the current offering of products - I have used Lovely Inside & Out, Diagonal Stripe and Christmas Pines stamp sets to make this Ornament card

The base of the card from is Whisper White card stock that I stamped in Basic Grey Archival ink with the Diagonal Stripe. Next stamped the circle bursts for the Inside & Out stamp set in Fresh Fig, Always Artichoke and Cherry Cobbler on Vellum and clear heat embossed them to give some shine and punched them out using the 1 3/4" circle punch. While I was embossing I took the sentiment from the Christmas Pines stamp set and gold heat embossed it on Fresh Fig card stock and attached it to the striped piece using Stampin Dimensionals. I attached the 'baubles' using Fast Fuse. To finish the card front I added the strings that are our NEW gold Mini Sequin Trim and the bauble tops that are bundled together Gold Thread with Gold Faceted Gems. I layered the card from on a matt of Cherry Cobbler card stock on a Always Artichoke card base.

Forever Evergreen Diagonal Stripe Christmas Card

My card today's colours were inspired by a large project I have been undertaking that I will share with you in the near future.

I started this card by stamping the Diagonal Stripe background stamp in Elegant Eggplant Ink on the matching card stock. Next I took a wide strip of Island Indigo card stock stamped with the stars from Forever Evergreen stamp set and stamped with the matching ink. I stamped the 4 ornaments also from the Forever Evergreen set onto a piece of Whisper White card stock and stamped them in Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant. Emerald Envy and Island Indigo and drew on the strings using a Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker. I adhered all the stamped layers onto a Rose Red card base and added a tied piece of Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon around the card to finish the card.

You've Got This, Diagonal Stripe, Perfectly Wrapped Card with WWYS #67 and GDP #039

I have a confession the You've Got This stamp set has long been neglected on my stamp self since last year, I even had a friend recently mention I should use it more and low and behold it was the stamp of the What Will You Stamp? challenge blog this week and I have teamed it up with the Global Design Project theme challenge - Get Well Soon

To start the card I stamped the flower from the You've Got This stamp set in Basic Black Archival Ink on Thick White card stock. I then took 3 of our NEW 2016-2018 In Color Ink Pads - Sweet Sugar Plum, Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach. I used our Blender Pens to colour in the flower. Next I took our new Diagonal background stamp and Ombre Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. When using the Ombre Ink pad I ensured to ink up the stamp in a circular motion so you don't get the harsh lines of the individual colours in the pad. For the last layer I took a strip of Sweet Sugarplum card stock and stamped it with the dots from the Perfectly Wrapped in Sweet Sugarplum ink. I layered these stamped pieces together on a Thick Whisper White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from You've Got This onto a piece of vellum in Rich Razzleberry ink and wrapped that around the card to finish it off.
