Suite Seasons Quick & Simple Dry Embossed Handmade Halloween Card in Emerald Envy and a touch of Ghoulish Grunge

Today I have a sneak Peak from the Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue that launches next week

Any of you that are Stampin' Up! Guru's will recognise the Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) as an item that is now retired, But I just HAD to get this Embossing Folder out of storage and dust off the cobwebs, as everyone begins their Halloween Preparations

Kids would LOVE to make their own Halloween Party Invites, and something simple like this is quick & easy, and a little supervision from an adult.

I decided to go with Emerald Envy Cardstock for the Card Base and dry embossed the card front.
I used a scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock, and grunge'd it up using the netting stamp from the Ghoulish Grunge Stamp Set in Basic Grey Ink, and over-Stamped this with the Sentiment from the Suite Seasons Stamp Set in  Basic Black Black Ink

The sentiment was Die Cut using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies, and a Scallop Circle, Die Cut from Smokey Slate Cardstock. There were popped up but mounting each layer with Stampin dimensionals between, an then mounting onto the Card Base.
Finally, I added a Whisper White Panel to the inside of the card base for the you (or the Children) to write on,.

Flower Shop Masked Watercolour Technique with One Big Meaning Thank Handmade Thank You Card Using Stampin' Up! Products UK

  

Today's card is a great way to start with Masking & Watercolour Techniques, on this Flower Shop Thank You Card.

There is no need to buy watercolour paper, but if you have it, then use it.

In my o photo above, I have used a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, and works well, so long as you don't get the cardstock really well.

You will need  an Archival ink pad or a Stazon Ink Pad, as this prevents the inks leaching out when you begin watercolouring, Plus an aquapainter Brush

For the watercolouring, I I used Archival Gray, to give an almost invisible outline to the flowers.

I used ink pads from the Regals Colour Collection, to keep the project co-ordinated.

Masking is a way of rubber stamping,  that doesn't have any overlapping of the images. You start from the foreground and work backward masking off each flower in turn, before stamping the next image.

To make a mask is super simple.

Take a Post It Note, and stamp your image onto the note, ensuring some of the stamped image is over the area of sticky (i.e. you stamp on the front of the note); then use paper snips to cut around the image so you are left with an outline of the glower, and a small strip if sticky on the back.

To build the card, stamp your first flower & once dry, cover the flower with the mask. Stamp your next flower, remove the mask, and repeat with each flower until you have the effect you want, leaving space for the sentiment

To watercolour, select your ink pads, and if you are using Stampin Up Classic Ink Pads, all you do is squidge the ink pad firmly to transfer ink from the pad to the 'well'. Then you pop a single drop of water into the well by gently squeezing the aquapainter, from there you can start painting.

If the aquapainter gets too wet, dry it on a piece of kitchen towel.

I used dilute Crushed Curry Ink to add highlights around some of the flowers, and on a scrap of white cardstock, and painted as above, this was then punched out using the Pansy Punch, and added to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals.

Allow the cardstock to dry thoroughly before stamping your sentiment and mounting onto your card base. 

Finish with a flourish of Rhinestones

Sneak Peak Greetings From Santa Copper Double Embossed Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! Products UK

Now, I don't normally do Sneak Peaks when a new catalogue is coming up to being launched, But I was preparing for my Christmas Card Workshops for this year and I was so pleased with this one, that I just felt the need to share, and besides, we are on the cusp of the new Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue Launch any how, so this only just passes as a sneak peak he he

Not only have I used Copper Foil Cardstock, that is dry embossed Holly Embossing Folder (TIEF) but the sentiment is Copper Heat Embossed onto a strip of Crumb Cake Cardstock

I kept the embellishment simple as I wanted the bling from all that copper to be the star of the show.

So I got out my (retired) Cherry Cobbler Blendability Pen, and using the Brush Tip, I coloured some Basic Rhinestones , that were added to the card front to represent Holly Berries.

Below you will find a products list, and the dimensions of the cardstock used. There is also a link to my online store if you would like to order any the products used today (or from any of my projects)

The Product codes are beside the products to make it easier. Just print off the list and you have your shopping list.

In This World Masculine Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products

Oh Boy, Is it hot or what?

Well, us Brits are not acclimatised for the hotter weather normally found in most of Europe

On top of that we are doing a Summer Clean of the house and grounds! 

Thank goodness we only do this twice a year he he

Anyway, it has meant I haven't posted as frequently as usual .... my apologies for that, 

But to compensate, I do have a super vintage style card for you 

Using the super dooper

IN THIS WORLD

Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

I made this card for my Father in Law's Birthday

They live in rural Eire (southern Ireland) and although they built a new bungalow on their family's property, they kept the original Cottage that was home to the very many children that were born there over the generations

It is full of character. My Father In Law uses half of that cottage as his workshop

And this stamp set, so reminded me of that old cottage, with it's Boreen & a castle in the field behind their home.

The Birthday Sentiment comes from the 

BUILD A BIRTHDAY

 Stamp Set (also from Stampin' Up!)

I used a colour combination of 

Mint Macaron; Tip Top Taupe & Very Vanilla. 

The card was embellished with some of the new lush Burlap Ribbon - I LOVE it! and I am sure it will be used a great deal over the festive season.

I am now including the product item numbers on the Product List below this photo, to make ordering even easier for you, and my website link is there too

I have also included the dimensions of the cardstock that I used.
