Stampin' With Watercolour Wings

Hi All

Hope you had a lovely weekend. Here's a card I made for a friend last week using the Watercolour Wings.

This was my first card using this stamp set but I see myself using this a lot in future projects. The butterflies comes in 2 different sizes and with the 2 stamp technique, you can create a lot of different butterflies.

After stamping the butterfly, I wrapped the gold thread around my fingers 3 times, pinched in the middle before adhering with tombow.

I cut the medium sized butterfly die in vellum and coloured the edges with Daffodil Delight and Elegant Eggplant Stampin' Write Markers. I curled the wings and stuck on top of the gold thread.

I stamped the dotted image and used it to guide where I put the sentiment, which is from the Butterfly Basics set.

For the mat, I sponged the edges of a white cardstock with Elegant Eggplant to coordinate with the Butterfly.

You can check out all of the Stampin' Up! products I have used below which can be purchased from our online shop.

I am also entering this card to the following challenges:

Stampin' Build A Birthday For Our Class

Hi all

 Hope you have had a lovely weekend.

Last week was a busy week for us as we we had our first Stampin' Up! Class on Saturday 6 June. Everything went well and we are both happy with how it went. 

A massive thank you to the ladies who came along to support us. I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

We just need to get some more interest in our little group. So if anyone is interested in joining us then please contact us for some more details. It will be a fun time and a chance for you to meet other people interested in crafting and off course I'm sure there will be biscuits or cake. 

We wanted to show off the new Build A Birthday stamp set from the new catalogue and an easy box made using the Gift Box Punch Board. Both cards and box have been inked using the 2014-2016 & 2015-2017 In Colours Ink pads and card stock as well as whisper white card stock.

We hope you like what we planned.

If you like any of these products you can purchase them via our shop link bellow.

Happy Blooming Birthday

Hi All

Time for another post, Thanks for stopping by & i hope you like and get some inspiration from what you see.

Todays card is made using the Flower Patch stamp set. Ive made my own DSP for the background, which I'm really into at the moment. I've stamped several of the stamps from this set in several colours randomly and then die cut the circle in the top centre. Ive also die cut a smaller circle for the sentiment. 

TOP TIP If you keep the die in place and then ink over the die you can achieve the crisp white edge.

 The centre parts of the flowers have been stamped in versa mark ink and then covered with red embossing powder. I love this technique.

To finish I've layered the whole piece onto blackberry Bliss card stock and raised the sentiment with dimensional pads.

I was quite happy with how this turned out.

Please feel free to leave a comment 

Thank you

Barry

You are Amazingly Amazing

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by our blog today. Todays creation is a card I've made using the Flower Patch & Painted petals stamp sets from Stampin Up!

I'm into trying to make my own backgrounds and have only used one stamp to create this one. The sentiment is from the Painted Petals stamp set along with the strips.

The flower patch set is one of my favs at the moment especially when used with the coordinating dies. Its makes it so much easier to cut out rather than using scissors.

Anyway I hope you like it. You can find a list of products used below.

Thanks

Mitosu Crafts Stampin' with the Sheltering Tree

Hi All

Todays card is one i made using the sheltering tree stamp set and i wanted to have a play to see what else i could do with it.

The background is the leaves stamp just stamped randomly in hello honey ink, before being mat and layered onto matching card stock.  I was quite happy with how it looked.

For the main image I've stamped the sheltering tree in Mossy meadow and the leaves in Blackberry Bliss and also done a 2nd generation to add some depth.

This stamp set also comes with grass and flowers which i have used around the base of the tree and a nice collection of sentiments.

Both pieces have been mat & layered onto coordinating card stock and stuck on with 3d dimensional pads.

you can find a full list of products used at the bottom of this post.

I hope you like it and thanks for looking, have a great day

Mitosu Stampin' Painted Petals and Flower Patch Stamp Sets

Hi all

Thank you for taking the time to stop by our new Mitosu Stampin Up! blog. We have both been busy playing with our new stamp sets and working on getting this blog up and running. So now it's time to share a couple of our creations.

The Painted Petals stamp set is a 2 stamp technique where I stamped the leaves first followed by the leaves once I had them in place. I haven't used it on the project but if anyone has problems lining the stamps up i would recommend you use the Stampin Up! Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, which is a great tool for perfect stamp placement especially for the clear mounted stamps.

For the above card I have used the Flower Patch stamp set and Flower Fair Framelits Dies which are available in a bundle or separately. I've only cut a portion of the die to create the flower hanging off the edge and then stamped the matching stamp in its place. I've also die cut some extra flowers on copy paper to use as a mask (the masking technique). This allows me to stamp the leaves without touching the flowers. It also makes it look as if they are behind the flowers. The sentiment has been stamped and attached using dimensional foam pads.

I hope you like our creations, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Until next time

Barry
