Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - The Weather Man

Thank you for popping by today, I'm so happy with this card for the

STAMPING SUNDAY BLOG HOP

The theme this month is "The Weather Man", I decided to choose a rainbow theme as a link to weather.  We get to enjoy some wonderful rainbows here in Mid Wales, the prevalence of the regular rain helps with that! 

I grabbed some card strips from my scrap pile and ran through the Timber 3D embossing folder after dousing it with Basic Gray Ink.

The colours I used were Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushell, Berry Burst, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink.

Using the co-ordinating inks and blender brushes I applied some ink and some images in Smoky Slate.

The Sketched Butterfly stamp set and dies were perfect for creating a lovely focal cluster of butterflies.

After arranging them I couldn't resis splattering some ink using my Stampin' Blends.

Delicate all white die cutting for a wedding card

Brrrrr! Winter is definitely here in mid-Wales, we had a very cold snap the other week, with a delicate frosting of snow.

Here is a seasonally apt card all in white.  I had seen cards like this on Pinterest and wanted to have a go myself.  

It's a pop up card with a wreath of detailed leaves, all made possible by the wonder of the die cutting machine.  I love how these modern tools make it so easy to create such delightful effects.

Here are some closeups.

I used Glimmer paper to create the butterflies and daisies.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Fun Fold Card

Hello and welcome to this Blog Hop, so pleased you could join me for this hop of Fun Folds... which I have inadvertently called Fancy Fold.

I had scoured Pinterest for some ideas, and had come across the idea of a "Cascade" card, this was worth the time to figure out and so much fun to make.

I used Soft Succulent and Fresh Freesia cardstock with Soft Succulent and Highland Heather ink to stamp images from Very Versailles (boohoo sorry to see it will be leaving the annual catalogue) and Dahlia Days.

I used the Detailed Dahlia Dies which match the stamp set to cut out the stamped larger flowers and some small flowers to decorate.

The  two smaller butterflies from the Brilliant Wings dies was perfect fo adding some more detail.  I cut them out using black cardstock then used Wink of Stella on them

For some extra detail I cut leaves using the Bough punch, and decorated the sprigs with pearls from Pastel Pearls.  The black and white gingham ribbon was doubled tied for some extra loops.

Here is the card from the side to see the dimension.

Thank you for  popping over, and please check out the other hoppers in the list below the video.

Here is how I put the card together (spot the mistake, I get my left and right muddled up!)

Here are the other hoppers, have fun looking at their wonderful projects.

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Tags in a Box}

Hi there, I'm Ruth from Artful Stampin and welcome to another Stamping Sunday Blog Hop.

My apologies for not making last month's hop, October seemed to just run away with me.  We're planning to move house soon so there has been lots of decluttering, sorting and clearing to do.

So the theme this month is to make some tags, either with a box or 3 different ways.  I opted for the box as I'm trying to get better at box making.

Here is the box with my set of tags

This is the lid of the box which I stamped with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and then decorated with some die cuts from the matching set of dies.

To see all the products used in this project go {here}

Here is a quick tutorial showing how I made these

To make the box base cut card 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches and score 1 inch all the way around.

To make the lid cut card 8 1/4 by 5 inches and score just under 3/4 inches all the way around.

The inside divider was made by cutting card 3 1/2 inches by 8 1/4.

{Purple Flowers and Unicorns}

Hi, and welcome to my blog, have you had the chance to be creative today?  If not, I hope these projects will give you some inspiration.

I'm playing catch up with various projects and videos I have created and not got round to blogging.

Here are a couple of projects that were just screaming out to be shared together as they have purple in common.  The first is a birthday card I made for my daughter.  I stamped a whole sheet of card then used just a quarter of it and mounted it onto a A5 card base (basically an A4 piece of card folded in half).  The main focal point is the unicorn from Leave a Little Sparkle, then I used various other stamps to decorate around it including Abstract Impressions, Very Versailles and Pop of Petals.

There are 2 versions of the video tutorial, here is the faster edited version

and here is the longer one, with all the mistakes I made along the way.

This second card was inspired by a friend who loves purple and butterflies.

I used Butterfly Wishes, Beautiful Friendship and the swirl from Leave a Little Sparkle.

The colours are Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Purple Posy (discontinued) and Gray Granite

Here is the sped up tutorial set to music...

and here is the longer "real time" one.
