Pansies Floral Basket!

Jul11

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Floral Basket – Pansies from the new July 2024 release. This stamp also comes with 2 other sentiments, “You Grow Girl!” and “Let me plant one on ya!“.

I began with a card base of 5.5″ x 4.25″ using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. cardstock. Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock was cut to the same size and then adhered directly to the base using double-sided tape. Kate Knight – Spring Fling Designer Paper was cut to the size of 5.25″ x 4″. With a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Prize Ribbon, I inked around  the outer edges. The finished piece was applied to the base using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.  I wanted 2 of the top flowers to pop, so I cropped them in Microsoft Word and printed them out as well. Copics were used to colour in the image and then it was fussy cut leaving a thin white border around it. I applied this to Recollections – Black cardstock and then fussy cut again. This piece was then applied to Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and the fussy cut one last time. The sentiment was fussy cut and applied to Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and fussy cut again. With Recollections – Blue cardstock, I cut a piece to be the size of 5.25″ x 1.25″ and then inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Prize Ribbon. From the Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock, I cut 2 strips of 5.5″ x 1/8″.

The card was now ready to assemble. I applied U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape to the finished image, sentiment and 2 flowers and positioned them to where I wanted then to go. With double-sided tape, I adhered the blue strip to the bottom of the card. Liquid glue was applied to the 2 thin gold strips and they were placed above and below the blue strip. The sentiment, flower basket and 2 flowers were then popped up onto the card. Lastly, I added in some bling using Buttons Galore & More – Blueberry gems.

Love Every Little Moment

Welcome Back Dreamerland Craft Fans!

Today, I’m sharing a card that I made using Mix and Match Clear Stamps (DC19095) (Dreamerland Crafts)!  Love the images for this stamp. There are so many different scenes that can be created. I chose to do a night scene with the 2 best friends sharing the serenity of the night sky.

To make this card, I first die cut some Bristol paper and then drew in the hills with light pencil and traced around the stamps to get the general idea of placement. I created a masked image of the bear and bunny using Inkadoo Stamping Mask Paper and Post-It Note for the hills and cut them both out. Next I erased all of the lines so that you could barely see them and stamped the bear and the bunny image directly onto the Bristol Paper. Next, I mounted the mask of the characters and hills that I had cut out previously over top of the stamped images so that they would be protected while I coloured in the sky.

To do the sky I used a mixture of Tim Holtz inks listed below and PrismaColor pencils. Then I blended all of the colours together using Gamsol and a blending paper stump. I repeated the process with the PrismaColor pencils several times.

Once the sky was completed, I removed the stencil for the grass and proceeded to colour it in using the same technique that I had used for the sky.

Lastly, I removed the mask for the bear and bunny and coloured them in. I added in some small trees using a Black Prismacolor pencil.

I popped my finished image, back into my MISTI again and stamped the sentiment using VersaMark. I also stamped in the stars in the sky and embossed everything with Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail. I also used a brush and tapped some of the white embossing powder all over the sky. Then heated it with my Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Lastly, I stamped and embossed the seagulls using VersaFine – Onyx Black and Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. I coloured them in using Black PrismaColor pencil and then added in some highlights on the wings.

I popped up the coloured image and blue cardstock with 3M VHB – 2 sided tape.
