SWIRLY TIME!

Have you seen cards with the Swirly Bird stamps and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits on your blog travels? These I think will be one of the top sellers for this catalogue.  I had a play with them the other day and thought I would share them with you.  These cards were inspired by others I had seen on Pinterest using a different stamp set.

These first 2 cards use the Emboss Resist technique.  I love the magic of heat embossing still even after all these years.  Heat Embossing was the first thing I had seen in stamping and I was just amazed.  I still love pulling out the heat tool. 🙂

Anyway, to the cards.

swirly _ emboss resist

I stamped the sentiment first in black.  This is from the set ‘Birthday Blossoms’. I then stamped the large swirl in versamark and heat embossed it.  Then sponged over the ink. The one on the left is Sweet Sugarplum. The one on the right is Peekaboo Peach.  Then I stamped the small flower in black.  The card is matted on to black card and then to the base card either Sweet Sugarplum or Peekaboo Peach.

swirly flower

This next card I was creating a flower with the swirls.  I stamped the large swirl in Sweet Sugarplum on to the Whisper White card and then cut swirls from the Sweet Sugarplum and the Emerald Envy. I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl to the centre. The sentiment on this card is from the new set ‘Mixed Borders’.

I added some strips of Emerald Envy card under the stamped white piece and then adhered it to the Sweet Sugarplum card base.

I can’t wait to play with this set some more.  Not enough hours in the day. 🙂

If you love the look of this set then you can buy your own at my store.  Buy the bundle and save 10%.  Head directly HERE.   Here is the stamp set and the thinlits for you to see.

Have a great weekend.  It is a long weekend here for us this weekend. Time for more creating then maybe?? I hope so.

cards, Onstage, Stampin' Up!

LOVE AND AFFECTION WITH AFFECTIONATELY YOURS DSP!

We made this card at Stampin’ Up! Onstage in April.  You might have seen some versions of it around.  I thought it was about time I share mine with you.  Check out that paper.  It is the ‘Affectionately Your’s Designer Series Paper and it has little specks of copper colour in the paper making it very sparkly.  Copper is so on-trend at the moment.

Onstage card

I am still not completely sure of the stamp set (Love and Affection) but I really love the Floral Affections Embossing Folder.  What do you think? The greeting is from the set and is stamped on Watermelon Wonder card. The base card is Mint Macaron. The card is nice with that little bit of shine from the paper.

It is very, very wet here this weekend.  Just the weekend to stay inside and craft away I would say. 🙂

Stay safe wherever you are.  I hope you have some crafting time,

Jenny

DAPPER DENIM SITTING HERE!

I finally got to play with this set the other day.  I have had it since we received it at Onstage.  I CASED this card off a Facebook group I am on.

?

This is using a new set ‘Sitting Here’.  I coloured the images with blender pen and inkpads and touched it up with the markers.  The card base and oval mat is Crumb Cake. The embossing folder I used on the Dapper Denim card mat is the new one ‘Floral Affection’.  There is 2 in the set.  I love these Embossing Folders.

I think Dapper Denim is fast becoming a popular colour when I speak to people.  What do you think of the colour?

Here is the stamp set if you have not noticed it yet and the Embossing Folders.

These are available to order from my store now.  -> HERE.

cards, Stampin' Up!, Techniques

WETLANDS DIRECT TO PAPER TECHNIQUE!

We made this card at our team meeting earlier this month. Thanks Barbara for sharing it. I thought I would show you how you can make it too.  First let me show you the card.

Wetlands

I have used the ‘Wetlands’ stamp set.  I am glad this is still around.  I haven’t had a lot of time to play with this set.  I have used the Direct to Paper technique to create the background.

 DIRECT TO PAPER TUTORIAL

1. Choose your ink, I have used Crumb Cake and Soft Sky.  You can use regular Whisper White cardstock for this technique. With the Crumb Cake ink place it over your cardstock near the edge.  With the inkpad tilted very slightly upwards swipe the cardstock across the card starting at just off the edge of your card just in the lower half of the card.  You may want to repeat the swiping a couple of times until you are happy with it. Always starting off the cardstock each time.  It is fine to have white patches showing.

?

2. Now using the Soft Sky repeat the swiping in the top half of the card.  Repeat the swiping a couple of times until you are happy with the coverage.

?

?

3.  When you are finished stamp the image and the greeting from the ‘Wetlands’ set using Black ink.

?

Each time you do this technique it will be different – which is the fun part.  You never know what you are going to get.  Try it with different stamps and see what you get.  I can’t wait to try this again.

Thanks for visiting me,

Jenny

 

cards, Stampin' Up!, swaps

BOTANICALS AND TIMELESS TEXTURES!

I made this card a couple of weeks ago for our team swaps. It was a really busy time but I was determined to make some. A number of the lovely people in our team had given me swaps at the previous meeting and at Onstage and I didn’t have any so I really had to make up for it.  Although I still don’t think I made up for the lovely cards I received. 🙂

This card was CASED from a card on a Facebook group I am on.  Yes, I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to think for myself.  I loved the idea though of teaming two of my favourite products and with one of my favourite colours.

?

I have used Timeless Textures and the greeting is from ‘Tin of Cards’.  I am having a great time with the Botanical Builders Thinlits. I cut a Mint Macaron flower with them and then sponged some Mint Macaron ink on the edges. I added a black centre to the flower.  I think it just “pops” it a little.  A little bling with the Rhinestone is good for the sparkle factor.

Thanks for visiting me.  Do stop by again.  Drop a comment and say Hi too.  I love to hear how you are and where you are from.
