THROWBACK THURSDAY – BIRD BALLAD!

We are still saying Good-Bye to some favourites.  Today I wanted to look back at the Bird Ballad Suite for our Throwback Thursday. 

This suite hasn’t been around for long but I have used it LOTS! I even had a whole Bird Ballad Week. So I think I will be sad to see it go. 😦

I wanted to share some projects with you using this Suite of products.  Perhaps you remembered them from way back then, or maybe these are all new to you.

I’m not going to give you full details of the projects.  If you click on the heading of each you can go back to the original post and see them.

MOTHER’S GIFT BAG AND CARD!

With Mother’s Day this weekend I have a Gift Bag and Card set to share with you.

This gift bag and card is created with the Best Dressed Suite.

Best Dressed Gift Bag and Card

With all the cool images on this piece of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper I didn’t need to do a lot of stamping.

I did stamp the perfume bottle from the Dressed To Impress stamp  set and coloured it to match the paper.  The bottle was stamped with the “splodge” stamp in Daffodil Delight.  Then the top was coloured with the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. 

To finish the card I added some loops off the Mint Macaron Sheer Ribbon behind the Purple Posy diecut circle. I used both of the sentiment shapes and layered them together.

For the bag diecut the bag twice in the Mint Macaron card and then diecut two from the paper.  Then trim off the sides of the paper diecut piece and adhere them on to the bag.

For the tag I cut the perfume bottle off the paper to match it all.

A sweet little gift set for any special person.

This Dressed To Impress Bundle of the stamps and dies will be carried over in to the new catalogue but buying it now as a bundle will save 10%.  The paper won’t be carried over so if you want it grab it now.

See it in my store now -> HERE.

Blog Hops, cards, Catalogues, Stampin' Up!

ESAD MAY 2020 – SEE YA LATER FAVOURITES BLOG HOP!


Welcome to the ESAD See Ya Later Favourites Blog Hop. You have come from HERE with the gorgeous creations of Bronwyn, or you are starting on my Blog.

Our Blog Hop today is to feature one of our favourites products. I have chosen the Love What You Do Stamp Set.

I used this set a lot when it first came out and I have to say it got pushed aside with all the other lovelies arriving. When I pulled my retiring products off the shelf this week this one made me sad. So I thought it was time to ink it up again.

I have made a set of 3 simple cards for you today.

We have 3 different colours – Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green/Old Olive.

On the white card mat on each one I embossed the card with Subtle Embossing Folder.

On the Flirty Flamingo card above the flowers were coloured with the Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.

The Highland Heather card above was stamped with the Highland Heather inkpad and using the “splodge” stamp in the set.

For this card above I stamped the leaves in Old Olive and Granny Apple Green.

Now you can continue on your Way. You are off to Mandy’s blog now. Just click on the NEXT arrow below or click on the list.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #100 – USING YOUR DIECUTS AS STENCILS – AND A GIVEAWAY!

Wednesday’s WOW! #100.  Woo Hoo! Who would have thought a couple of  years ago when I started this series that I would have 100 tips, techniques, product videos to share with you.  Number 100 is pretty amazing.  I think. 🙂

Today I have a special technique for you.  And to celebrate 100 WOW’s I thought it would be time for a Giveaway.  Check below after you see the fun technique.

For our Wednesday’s WOW! #100 I wanted to share a cool technique of using your Diecuts to create stencils.   It’s not a new technique BUT might not be one you think about readily.

I was inspired of this idea when I saw a project on a Demonstrator Facebook group I am on and I’m sorry I can’t remember the Demonstrators name.

I have used the Ornate Borders Dies and the Ornate Frames Dies to create these particular cards but you could use any detailed dies.

For this first card I have used the decorative flower border die from the Ornate Frames Dies.  Diecut this on a piece of white card.  Then use this card piece as a stencil to colour on to a different white card strip.

So for this one below you may not be able to see it but I have the other white card strip which is the same size as the diecut strip, so I could line them up and be sure it was straight.

I have used the Watercolor Pencils but not used them with the Aquapainter.  You could use Stampin’ Blends or a Blender Pen and inkpads.

This was the finished coloured strip.

To finish the card I used some of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  The Twine is from the Nature’s Twine set.  It is Grapefruit Grove but I think it worked OK with the Calypso Coral on the card.

The vellum “leafy” spray and the bird is from the Well Written Dies.

On this next card I used the dies in a different way.  I diecut the “flourish” type die in the Ornate Frames Dies from white card and then used that as a stencil to heat emboss.

To do this line up the diecut strip on your white card mat.  Press the Versamark ink over the diecut being careful not getting Versamark above the strip on to your main card.  You can add some scrap paper to mask it to protect the card if you like.

After using the Versamark, remove your stencil strip.  Sprinkle over Silver Embossing Powder and heat with the Heat Tool.  You have a nice shiny image.

Below is the finished card in more detail.

For the finished card I used the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.  The Hello Fabulous from the Dressed To Impress stamp set and cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The Mint Macaron piece is also diecut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and embossed with the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder.

TAGS IN BLOOM THANKS!

I have been making some simple Customer Thank You cards with the Tags In Bloom stamp set and some scraps of pretty patterned paper.  I made a few of each type.  It’s a great way to use those little pieces up.

On these cards above I used the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-Bration.  for the one on the left and for the larger card below.  The card on the right above was using the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

With the Tags In Bloom set you have the “solid” style of stamps that you can use to infill the lined flower images.  You can colour them with your Stampin’ Blends too if you would rather.  I love that with this set that the sentiment section can be punched out with the Label Me Lovely Punch.  There is also the Label Me Fancy Punch that would punch the other sentiments out.  These cards are 10cm x 10cm (4″x4″) in size.

On the cards I made like the one above they were the standard card size.  I had some white card cut with the rectangle from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies.  The sentiment piece from the Tags in Bloom was stamped on the white card and again stamped on scrap white and punched out.

Simple and quick cards.  That’s what you need in a hurry.

I hope you are getting lots of creating done in these times.

Keep safe and well.

TAGS IN BLOOM BORDER CARD + VIDEO!

Sale-A-Bration Sunday. Today I have a card for you using the Sale-A-Bration stamp set Tags in Bloom. You can use the gorgeous tag images for your sentiments on your cards but I created a border on your cards with the flowers.  Just for something different.

I made the cards in Petal Pink and in Flirty Flamingo.  What colour do you prefer?

I have a video showing how to create it.  I am venturing more in to videos (much to learn still) but hopefully it gives you an idea.

The Tags In Bloom set is a Free choice for Sale-A-Bration with qualifying orders over $180.

The set co-ordinates with the Label Me Lovely and Label Me Fancy Punches from the Mini Catalogue.
