Handmade Card Kinda Eclectic Ombre Technique using Stampin' Up! Products UK

I am off dog walking  shortly, so I will keep today fairly brief ...If I can,, as I do like to yak on lol

Today's card is one of three that I made as a class project this week. The techniques for this week, were Ombre and Making your own Designer Series Paper

There was just one stamp set used

KINDA ECLECTIC

The great thing about these techniques, as each and every background will be different ... and that is why you will rarely see me using Designer Series Papers. I do, just not often ... I am a rubber stamper at heart he he

I used the Rich Razzelberry Ombre Ink Pad for the sentiment.

The key to these ink pads, is using little circles rather than stamping using the entire ink pad, since that results in lines. I have included a Video Below showing your how best to use these fab new kind of Ink Pad. & the Tutorial is beneath the Video

Sweet & Sassy Pop of Paradise Quick Cards using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Today, I am sharing with you a selection of cards that I have made using the Pop of Paradise Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

These cards are super easy and super fast to make, and the Black and Melon Mambo Contrast with the White, is just so dramatic. I used less than 1/2 sheet, from 3 different papers in the Pop of Pink DSP Pack. So they are cost effective to make too.

I used a selection of Nesting Dies, containing either Ovals, Hearts or Circles. You could use Circle punches if you have them

Garden in Bloom Friendship Card Stampin Up! UK

Well, I am rather late getting around to today's blog post, as I have been over the park getting some Dog Training in with my 10 month old Miniature Schnauzer, Bentley!!

He is now flaked out on his bed he he

Today's card has been made to send to a friend. It is 99% Garden in Bloom, but I wonder how many of you will notice the 1 % that is from another of Stampin'Up!'s Stamp Sets

Leave a comment below if you can find it.

With the exception of the Archival black Ink Pad that I used for the sentiment, I went with a monotone colour scheme of Sweet Sugarplum & White

The 5" (12.5 x 12.5 cm) square card base is using Thicker Whisper White Cardstock

The mainWhisper White Panel was was stamped once in the top right using Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad, with a stamping off the page technique (i,e - not all the image is stamped onto the cardstock), and the sentiment was stamped over this flower.

I added a strip of Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon (Tear & Tape is a great adhesive for adding ribbon & trim).

The panel was then mat (layered) onto Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock and this was then mat onto the card base using Stampin Dimensionals for added depth.

I stamped 2 more flowers and fussy cut them out, again stamped in Sweet Sugarplum Ink. The smaller was added using a mini glue dot & the larger flower, I popped a couple of Stampin Dimensionals on the back, got some large loops of Gold Thread and attached the loops partially onto the Dimensionals, then added the flower to the card base.

The card was finished simply with a Gold Enamel Shape for a bit of bling

Timeless Textures Water Bleach Technique & emboss Resist Birthday Card Stampin Up! UK

Yes, Finally .... My Video has uploaded!!

And today I am showing you how to use a Water Bleach Technique 

(as opposed to a Bleach technique)

And put very simply that means that you sponge the card stock, blending two or more colours together, onto a piece of Watercolour Paper

Then you sppritz the watercolour paper with water, allow to sink in a little, and then using either a baby wipe, or a piece of kitchen towel, you randomly press down on the Watercolour paper, allowing some of the ink to be absorbed by the paper or baby wipe, to leave you with a bleached area,

Once dry, I have then used the Timeless Textures Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! and Versamark Ink Pad, and alternate the layers with White or Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.

I used different stamps on each layer too

The card was layered up in an asymetrical way and finished with a simple Embossed Vellum sentiment overlay.

Tutorial

1. Trim three pieces of Watercolour Paper  - 7.5 x 7.5 cms; 10 x 10 cms & 12.5 x 12.5 cms
2. CAD BASE - Trim a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock to 14 x 28 cms;Score at 14 cms; Fold & Burnish
3. Sponge all three pieces of Watercolour Paper with different combinations of Flirty Flamingo & Peekaboo Peach Ink Pads using a wedge of Stampin Sponge; then spritz liberally with water
4. Before the watercolour paper dries, press either a baby wipe or a piece of kitchen towel firmly in random places on the cardstock. This will leach colour out of these areas. Allow to dry
5. Using Versamark and the Timeless Textures Stamp Set, stamp different combinations of the stamps between the three layers, sprinkle with clear embossing powder and heat set.
6. Trim a piece of White Vellum cardstock to 14 x 3 cms; stamp the Birthday Sentiment from Butterfly Basics Stamp Set with Versamark; Dusk with WHITE embossing Powder & Heat Set.
7. Using Fast Fuse Adhesive, layer up the 3 pieces of sponged & embossed watercolour paper. Use Stampin Dimensionals for the top layer to pop it up; add your Vellum overlay using Mini Glue Dots
8. Finish with some Basic Rhinestones and a bow made with Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon, and mount onto the card front with a mini Glue Dot.
