INK STAMP SHARE BLOG HOP APRIL, 2022

Welcome to this months Showcase Blog Hop with the Ink Stamp Share group. This hop showcases projects we are working on using current Stampin' Up! Projects.

My card today is one I made for a recent class I gave.  

I love paper piecing even though my eyesight isn't the best so it can be challenging. 

My favourite stamp set in the January-June Mini catalogue is the In The Moment Stamp Set which lends itself to this technique.

I was very pleased how this card turned, I did a little masking for the sky and a little water colouring for the grass.

If you have any questions contact me at sueallensimplycraft@bigpond.com.

Thank you for stopping by, now onto the rest of the hop to be inspired, enjoy

STAMP N HOP BLOG HOP APRIL 2022

 

Welcome to this month's Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop, our theme today is Masking which is a technique I love but don't seem to use enough.

It's funny how we have favourite sets for certain techniques and for masking one of my favourites is the Celebrate Sunflowers, I find this is a great design for anyone just learning masking as it is very easy but very effective.

Though this stamp set has matching dies, for the masking technique it is much better to fussy cut the image.

If you have any questions contact me at sueallensimplycraft@bigpond.com.

CARDSTOCK BLOG HOP

 

It's been quite a while since I blogged with the Crafty Collaborations group and I'm thrilled to be back. As you will already know the theme this months is using  gorgeous cardstock. 

I chose the Sunflower Dies for my card, these with the Celebrate Sunflower stamp are so versatile, I'm very happy that it's being carried over into the 2022-23 Annual Catalogue which goes live 3rd May, 2022.

As always mine is a very simple card, as I wasn't stamping the sunflower I ran the die cuts through the Stampin Cut & Emboss machine using the Painted Texture embossing folder to give some texture, also I added extra colour using the Blending Brushes.

Oh and don't forget the inside

SCRAPPY SUNDAY 3RD APRIL, 2022

 Well, it's Sunday again and time for a scrappy card.

We all know Stampin' Up! have some amazing designs with their papers and many can be fussy cut or have dies that will cut some of the design, my card today uses up the edge pieces that aren't big enough or the right shape to use in the card design but can be used on the inside, almost all scraps can be used somewhere. Here's the card:

My measurements are based on A4 cardstock

• Basic White Thick Cardstock  5 7/8" x  8 1/4" scored at 4 1/8" (14.9cm x 21cm scored at 10.5cm)
• Basic Black Cardstock  4" x  5 6/8"  (10cm x 14.6cm)
• Basic White Cardstock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"  ( 9.8cm x 14.2cm  )
• Scraps Real Red Cardstock 
  
• Scrap DSP
• Memento Tuxedo Blank Ink Pad
• White Embossing Powder
• Stamp Set of your choice for the sentiment
• Stitched Triangle Dies 
• Stampin' Blends, Real Red Combo & Old Olive Combo
• Adhesive of your choice (I prefer Tombow Liquid Glue, it seems to work better for me)
• Dimensionals

1. 2 cut 3 1/4" triangles in both Real Red Cardstock and DSP and 1 each using the 1 3/4" triangle
2. Leaving a small border, attach DSP triangles to cardstock, trim over hang at the bottom
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Using the card above as a guide position and attach the triangles to the Basic White card front
4.  Stamp Sentiment
5. Attach to Basic Black card front
6. Attach to card base
7. I  used the scraps of DSP from the retired True Love paper
   
   
   

   
   
   

   
   
8. Using Stampin' Blends in Real Red & Old Olive I fussy cut the flowers
9. The intact flowers I attached to the the front to the card with dimensionals
10. The part piece I attached inside
    
    
    

    

    
    

I love black & white with a splash of colour, so I was really happy how this turned out.
