Ink it Stamp it - it's technique time!

It's that time again, the Ink it! Stamp it team is back to share creations and inspiration with you, this month we all have a technique to share with you.

My project started out with me going to share colour blending with water pencils, and then I also ended up with fussy cut layers, a 2nd technique for you! 



I've used 3 new exciting limited edition products for my project:
  1. Blended Seasons Stamp Set
  2. Stitched Seasons Framelits
  3. Water colour pencils - 10 new colours
Continuing with my DSP personal challenge I've used the wood grain pattern from Natures Poem for my background, now for the fun... how gorgeous is that stitched framelit, there are 3 different sizes in the framelit pack and they cut with stitching on both sides of the cut too, they are WOW to say the least!

Now the 2nd lot of fun, the gorgeous floral arrangement.  I started by stamping the image, then coloured with Flirty Flamingo, and a touch of Cherry Cobbler at the base, then "melted" and blended the colours together with a Blender Pen - I say melted as it's the best way I can describe how the pencil strokes change when you apply the pen. I repeated the process with the leaves using Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. I used the original Daffodil Delight in the centre of the flowers. Next I cut the arrangement, but it need something else - I decided to stamp a 2nd and colour the flowers again and fussy cut so that I could add height and depth to the arrangement, then added Wink of Stella to give the a shimmery shine.



My tip when using a Blender Pen is to use in one motion - I worked from the centre of the flower to the egde, and regularly clean your pen off on a scrap piece of paper. Don't work one area too much when it is wet as your card stock may "peel".

Tip 2 - fussy cutting, you can just see the original stamp under the top layer of flower, go around the edge of your cut with a marker or dauber to remove any "crisp white" from your cut.

Oh what do you know... I used a 3rd technique! I mask the sentiment so that I could stamp it on 2 lines instead of one - masking would have to be one of my most frequently used techniques, it can change the layout of sentiments, and also enables you to create your own layered images.

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.

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
