Rhino Animal Outing – LICI-B-09

Stamps: Animal Outing.

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB 2012), Pool Party, Lucky Lemonade, Calypso Coral, Basic Gray.

Ink: Basic Gray, Memento Black, Light & Dark Smoky Slate Blends, Light & Dark Old Olive Blends, Ivory Blend, Color Lifter, Light Calypso Coral Blend.

Tools: Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, sponge, dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, regular and mini glue dots, sequins, Basic Gray ribbon, Layered Leaves embossing folder.

Punches/Dies: Animal Friends Thinlits dies, Stitched Shapes Framelits.

I used a full DSP panel from my Love It Chop It stash (5-1/4” x 4”) then basically copied my Rhino card from Christine’s Stamping Spot.  She has a great video on how she did it so no need for me to go into details.

I used a little Wink of Stella on the leaves.

I do love how much better the Blends seem to blend by coloring twice.

To create an open circle, tape the 2 largest Stitched Shape dies together.  Die cut one from Pool Party cardstock and another from Basic Gray cardstock.

Stamp phrase on the negative Pool Party circle.  Add to inside of card.  Stamp an envelope.

I’m still working on the Everyday Enchantment DSP that I have loved and now chopped.  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too.  I have stored them in a Full Wide Stamp case. Kylie Bertucci has given us permission to Love It Chop It.

Corner Flip Card – LICI-B-04

Stamps: Flourishing Phrases, Climbing Roses (Occasions 2019, inside).

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB 2012), Pool Party, Lucky Lemonade, Poppy Parade.

Ink: Pool Party (inside and envelope), Soft Suede, Poppy Parade.

Tools: Pool Party ribbon, Everyday Enchantment brad, Silent Setter, Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, sponge, dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, glue dots, rhinestones.

Punches/Dies: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Flourish Thinlits Die, Layering Ovals dies.

Cut DSP and Very Vanilla cardstock the same size - to 4” x 5-1/4”.  Stamp the phrase in Poppy Parade ink and die cut the circle using the Stitched Shapes die (2^nd smallest) from the bottom of the Very Vanilla panel.  Die cut the phrase from the Layering Ovals dies.

From the wrong side of the DSP, pencil mark at 2” across the top from the left corner and 2-1/2” down the left side.  Sponge the edges from pencil mark to pencil mark with Soft Suede ink on the right side of the DSP.  Flip it over and sponge between the pencil marks with Soft Suede ink.  Sponge the phrase and circle with Soft Suede ink.  Apply dimensionals to the phrase and set aside.  Lightly score from the pencil marks on the WRONG side of the DSP using the score blade on your trimmer.  Press flap to the right side - a bone folder gives you a crisp fold.  Add a glue dot just at the point of the flap to hold it in place.  Sponge the fold of the flap with Soft Suede ink.

Adhere the DSP panel to the Very Vanilla panel.  Trim if necessary and sponge with Soft Suede ink.  Tape 5-1/2” of Pool Party ribbon to the back of the panel about 1-1/8” from the bottom.  Set aside – do not adhere to the card front until we add the brad!

Die cut the Flourish Thinlits. 

Adhere the large Pool Party and large Poppy Parade flower to the Very Vanilla circle – apply glue to the centers of the flowers only, keeping the petals free.  Punch a circle in the center of the Pool Party flower with the Silent Setter.

Place the circle on the front of the DSP panel to determine placement.  Draw a pencil mark through the hole of the flower.  Remove flower circle and punch a hole at the pencil mark. 

Add glue to the center of the circle only (to allow leaf placement) then adhere to the panel matching the holes. 

Cut the bottom leaves apart.

Place brad through the hole.  Adhere to a Poppy Parade card.  Tuck leaves under the circle in a pleasing manner.

Add a cluster of three flowers to the top right corner.  Add rhinestones to all the flowers.

Add phrase. 

Cut Pool Party ribbon 3-1/2”.  Tie a faux knot and glue to the card.  Trim.

Stamp phrase from stamp set in Poppy Parade ink and the flower in Pool Party ink for the inside of the card.  Stamp the same flower in Pool Party ink to the front of an envelope.

Still working on the Everyday Enchantment DSP that I have loved and now chopped.  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too.  I have them stored in a Full Wide Stamp case. Kylie Bertucci has given us permission to Love It Chop It!

Versamark Resist Technique – One Hour Card Class - OHCC049

Versamark is a clear ink that is usually used to emboss images or create a watermark background. 

Cut Glossy card stock to the size you want.

Ink your stamp with the Versamark ink and stamp on glossy card stock.

Run your brayer in Perfect Plum ink or any color, and brayer over the Versamark image.  You can sponge ink over top instead of using a brayer if you want. The stamped images will resist the ink. Keeping the card simple lets the technique stand out!

The more you brayer or sponge, the darker it goes and the more the images pop.  Also remember that the darker the color you use the less likely the Versamark is going to resist.

I hope you will try this technique!  This technique is sometimes called Ghosting.

Stamps: Touches of Texture, Crazy about You, Thoughtful Branches (inside).

Cardstock: Perfect Plum, black, glossy white.

Ink: Versamark, Perfect Plum, black memories.

Accessories: bone folder, Misti, sponge, Press n Seal, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Hello You Thinlits, snail.

SU196a Thinking of You

I blogged this butterfly pansy card about a month ago. Decided to try a bit different layout using the same colors. The pansy certainly bled better. I was spraying two butterfly punches at a time but I found it works better to do one at a time as they do dry quickly. You would wonder how with so much water on them but they just do!

On my previous card, I mounted the phrase and bird. I didn’t use mounts on this one.

SU144 One Layer Card

Marie K hosted a One Layer card swap. It was difficult to come up with an idea using only one piece of cardstock, however, I am pleased with the way this one turned out.

After I had stippled the top and bottom of my card with a shaving brush, I stamped the image on the white cs in brown ink, masked the sky area with a scrap of paper, stippled a horizon then removed the mask. I re-inked the stamp then stamped it on wax paper. I turned it upside down, with the ink towards the paper, and lined it up, so the image would be matching. I then brayered over it, to leave the reflection. It goes down a lot lighter, which is perfect for a reflection.  Known as the Reflection Technique or Mirror Image Technique.

Stamps - Upsy Daisy.

Ink - Tempting Turquoise, Close to Cocoa.

Paper - White, Tempting Turquoise.

Accessories - 11/4" circle punch for moon mask, wax paper, shaving brush for stippling, scrap paper for masking the horizon, stamp aligner.

SU165 Thinking of You

The background was done with the Watercolor Joy wheel, pg 205 & Black Memories ink. The rose impression was done using the Manhattan Flower Die, pg 202 and my Cuttlebug. My white Colorbox Pigment inkpad was slightly on the dry side so it worked great to swipe over the embossed image with gentle pressure. Of course, I used a little glitter spray before I snipped it out.
