Badges & Banners | #WWYS120

Welcome to this weeks challenge at What Will You Stamp? This week the set we are playing with Badges and Banners

I decided to go for something a bit different and make a masculine themed card - I always find them more challenging to make, here is what I came up with:


The sentiment says it all, not too over the top, just nice for a laid back male celebrating with a beer! And what man doesn't like a badge, I added the little tails with 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon.

The background isn't DSP, it's the new Marbled background stamp - it reminds me of shaving cream, which is what lead me to a masculine card. I sponged a combination of Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide and Basic Black then stamped, the hardest thing was managing the stamp with my tiny hands!

  2. This one's a pearler Sue! And not a skerrick of pink in sight!!! I've had my eye on a few of the new background stamps in the new catty, including this one. I think you've just convinced me to put it on my next order!

  3. Beautiful card! Love the colors on the BG stamp. Sharing a tip: I taught my customers with hand issues (either arthritic or too small) to use the BG stamps flat on the table. Lay your paper on top of the face up stamp, lay scrap paper over and either press with hand or brayer to get a good imprint. We do partial prints this way too. Works very well.

    1. I've used my woodmount background as you have described above, it got clear mount this time to see what it would be like - I agree small or arthritic hands would benefit from not trying to hold the large background stamping blocks

  4. I absolutely love that background and the color combo you chose! I totally thought you had done the shaving cream technique on this card and of course now I NEED this stamp! :)

  6. Sue I love this. Took me a few looks and a read to work out what you had done with the background. Love the idea of sponging onto the background stamp. Very cool

Thank you for everything Hues of Happiness

Hello crafty friends, I'm using one of my favourite layouts today with the simply gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP . I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set .  To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone  Basic Jewels . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month. I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product.  I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running. If you live in Australia and don't already have a Demonstrator I'd love to be yours.  Hues of Happiness DSP Scalloped Contour Dies   Color & Cont

Color Fusers Blog Hop May 2023

Hello everyone, it's the beginning of a new month, so that means it's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, is all about the new 2023-2025 InColors! There is also a colour refresh, so lots of new colours are on there way, but today I am super excited to try out Moody Mauve, my favourite from this group. I've done 2 tone stamping so you can see first and second generation colours of Moody Mauve using the Two-Tone Flora stamp set, as well as blending the ink on to Moody Mauve cardstock using a Artistic Mix Decorative mask . As you can see Moody Mauve is stunning in both a pastel (2nd generation stamping) as well as full depth. I've combined with Basic Grey...... I may have done a booboo with my pre-order and missed Pebbled Path; but based on the sample of Pebbled Path I have, it would be perfect companion for Mood Mauve  To finish I added "thanks" from Sentimental Park , and some Basic Rhinestones for just a touch of bling. Be su

Fancy Folds Stampers Showcase - Hues of Happiness Circle Easel Card

Hello there crafters! You are going to love today's Stamper Showcase Blog Hop - we are all featuring FUN FOLDS, I just love a fun fold, I should really do more of them! I decided to a Circle Easel Card, it's a smaller card, but I think you will agree is just super cute, and with the Hues of Happiness DSP is just Gorgeous! This card is a relatively simple for a fun fold and comes together very quickly - I think I spent more time doing the floral arrangement than the actual fun fold itself. I took advantage of being able to die cut images directly from the Hues of Happiness DSP - I love it when we can do this with DSP, and aren't the flowers just stunning! I took 3 different flowers and some foliage and arranged to fit within the Basic White Circle cut from the largest circle die in Layering Circles Dies set, and the largest scallop die is used for the coloured section of the card. To create the card base you need to fold a piece of card stock and positon the largest die slig

Color Fusers Blog Hop June 2023

Hello everyone, it's the beginning of a new month, so that means it's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our creations will feature the new pink - Bubble Bath, the returning Pretty Peacock, and Pool Party. I decided on the pastel approach, I began with creating my background with a paper stencil cut using the cloud die from Basic Borders , working from Pretty Peacock to Pool Party and finishing with Bubble Bath towards the bottom of the card, moving the stencil a little each time so as to not have identical clouds in a line. I was excited to try a creation with the Beautiful Balloons Bundle - I traced the outside edge of the balloon die then blended each colour, leaving the right hand side a little lighter, the inked up the "detail" stamp for the balloons just on the left and stamped.  Once die cut, I then stamped the ribbon and sentiment, before mounting the balloons with Dimensionals . Be sure to continue on through the rest of t
