Global Stamping Friends - Leaves and Vines

Hi Crafters,

As it's the first Friday of the month, the Global Stamping Friends team are showcasing projects in our monthly blog hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and I love to see the different projects created each month.  Our theme for December is leaves and vines.  If you've hopped from the talented Amanda's post, you are on the right track.  There is also a full list of participants at the end of this post.  

I have two cards to share this month for our leaves and vines theme.  

This first card features a background made using the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks.  I inked through the masks using a blending brush with inks in Mossy Meadow, Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz.  I rotated the mask each time I changed ink colour and applied a heavier layer of ink in places.  I trimmed down the panel and added it to a UK standard A5 card base made with Thick Whisper White cardstock.  Next, I used the Wreath Builder Dies with Whisper White cardstock and attached two die cuts offset on the top centre of the background panel.  I added a sentiment from the Love of Leaves stamp set which was white heat embossed onto Mossy Meadow cardstock.  To finish I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems.  

My second card features a Cajun Craze cardstock background debossed with one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders.  I applied Versamark ink to the raised parts of the folder before running it through my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine.  Afterwards I added gold embossing powder and heat embossed.  I used the Rooted in Nature stamp set for the sentiment which was also stamped in Cajun Craze ink and then die cut using the Layering Circles Dies.  I added a Gold Foil circle behind the sentiment circle.  For a final embellishment I used the Love of Leaves bundle with Cajun Craze ink.

Global Design Project Challenge #258 Entry - Sketch

Hi crafters,

I have an entry for the Global Design Project sketch theme this week which is a great triptych design.  

I started with a half sheet of A4 Thick Whisper White cardstock for my card base.  I used the Stitched Lace panel die to cut from Seaside Spray cardstock.  The new Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine handled this intricate die with ease.  I was very impressed.  I cut the panel down into three sections and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I used the Wreath Builder Dies to cut from Whisper White cardstock twice, offsetting to give a fuller look.  I added a stacked die cut thanks sentiment from the Well Written Dies in Night of Navy and covered the sentiment in a layer of Wink of Stella for shimmer.  If you are not into stamping, this card would be a great way to use lots of die cuts.  

I would like to enter this card into the Global Design Project Challenge #258 - Sketch.

Happy crafting,

We Fall In... Colours Blog Hop for August 2020

Hi crafters,

I'm hopping again and this time it's the turn of the We Fall In... Colours team.  We are an international group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who love to share our passion for creativity through colour.  If you've come from Diana's post you are on the right track.  There is a full list of participants at the end of this post.  

This month we are showcasing projects made using Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow and Mint Macaron.  I really wasn't sure what theme to pair with this colour combo as there were so many possibilities but I love how my card turned out using the Wreath Builder Dies.  

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock and the dotty mask from the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks.  I first inked through with Mint Macaron and then shifted the mask so that the open spaces lined up between the inked dots.  I inked again in Night of Navy, adding some lighter and darker patches to create interest.  I used the Wreath Builder dies to create the focal element.  I used one of the wreath dies to cut from Mossy Meadow and Mint Macaron cardstocks and then offset these using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I didn't adhere all the leaves so that they would create texture.  I made three flowers from two layers Night of Navy cardstock cut from one of the flower dies from the Wreath Builder set.  I folded each petal around the shaft of my pokey tool from the Take Your Pick Tool and then added pearls in the centre to finish.  I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set and used the matching Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to create a label, adding a layer of Night of Navy cardstock behind.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals behind the sentiment label to pop it up on the front of the card.  

I hope you are enjoying our colours for this month and have found inspiration in our posts.  Don't forget to leave a comment so we know you've visited.  To keep hopping, click the next button below to head to Petra's post.
