Blooming with Kindness Birthday Wishes Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Today’s card features the Blooming with Kindness stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) and Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! The design was inspired by Sandi MacIver (Stamping with Sandi) who introduced me to the idea of stamping on patterned paper. I also owe Sandi a huge shout out and show of appreciation for mentioning me on her blog on Thursday. Many of you reading this today found me via Sandi’s post, and I am very grateful for the introduction! I am so thrilled to have you with me today!

Now, onto today’s project… I just love this stamp set. From the moment I saw that gorgeous flower, I knew I had to have it. I get tons of compliments on every card I make with this one. If you like what I’ve created today, I would love it if you would leave me a comment. Tomorrow is the end of the month, so this is your last chance to get in on my monthly drawing for a a handcrafted card in the mail!

I can’t even tell you how thrilled I am every time I get a new follower! I just love sharing ideas with you guys and hearing all about the great project ideas you have too.

I began my card by selecting a piece of Watercolor Wonder DSP with cute yellow and orange polkadots. The design of this paper was simple enough that I felt it would make a beautiful background for my stamped images. I chose to stamp my images in Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango ink to coordinate with the design of the Watercolor Wonder DSP. That is one great thing about Stampin’ Up designer series papers, they always list which colors were used in the design right on the label. It takes all the guesswork out of creating your color scheme.

First, I stamped the flower from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set in Crushed Curry on the right side of my panel, making sure it went off the page a bit. Then I cleaned my stamp and inked it up with Tangerine Tango. I stamped it once on a scrap of paper, before stamping it in the bottom left corner of my DSP panel. I wanted to add extra depth to my design by altering the intensity of the colors. For my third bloom, which would be the main focal point of the card, I knew it needed to have some added dimension. I decided to double stamp it to create a bit of a shadow effect. First, I inked up my stamp with Crushed Curry and stamped off on a scratch paper before stamping a lighter image on the DSP panel. Then I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the image again using Tangerine Tango ink. For the second stamp, I offset the image just slightly to create the illusion of depth.

For my greeting , I chose the “Birthday Wishes” sentiment from the Simply Sketched stamp set, available as one of the great hostess rewards from Stampin’ Up!. I stamped it in Cajun Craze ink on my stamped panel using my Stamp-a-ma-jig. Then, I used a sponge dauber to ink around the edges of the panel in the same color. I mounted my art piece on a panel of Tangerine Tango using SNAIL adhesive, then adhered that to a panel of beautiful floral designer series paper from the Watercolor Wonder set. Finally, I added all of my layered panels to a Tangerine Tango card base.

For the finishing touches on the inside of my card I stamped the floral image from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set along the bottom of a panel of Whisper White card stock using the same ink colors as I did on the front of the card. Then I inked around the edges of the panel using Tangerine Tango ink and a sponge dauber. I layered this panel onto a panel of the floral Watercolor Wonder DSP and adhered it to the card base.

I love the bright cheery colors of this card, and the elegance of the floral stamp. I think it is stunning (if I do say so myself)! LOL. I will definitely keep my eye out for other designer series paper designs that I think would make a nice background image.

I would love to hear what you think about this project too. Don’t forget to leave me a comment, for your chance to win a handcrafted card!

Simply Sketched Birthday Wishes Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Apparently I can’t tear myself away from the Simply Sketched (wood mount and clear mount), stamp set from Stampin’ Up! It seems to be my favorite lately. I love how it looks with watercoloring, and it just lent itself well to last Tuesday’s color challenge from Splitcoast Stampers. And, I did tell you to expect to see that little bird appear in a card soon! Well, here it is… just as I predicted. LOL. Remember, the Simply Sketched stamp set is one of the hostess sets available through Stampin’ Rewards.

If you like what I’ve created today, I would love it if you would leave me a comment. At the end of the month I will do a drawing and one lucky person who left me a comment will receive a handcrafted card in the mail! Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically. Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar. I can’t even tell you how thrilled I am every time I get a new follower! I just love sharing ideas with you guys and hearing all about the great project ideas you have too.

Today’s card was inspired by The Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 306 & Splitcoast Stampers Color Challenge #469:

I began my card with a Whisper White card base. Then I added panels of Always Artichoke card stock and Pistachio Pudding Designer Series Paper from the Sweet Sorbet pack (Sale-a-bration item) using SNAIL adhesive.

Next, I used Staz-on Black ink and my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the bird and leaf elements from the Simply Sketched stamp set onto a panel of Whisper White card stock. I used a Blender Pen and my Classic Stampin’ Pads in Rose Red, Marina Mist, and Always Artichoke to color my stamped image with a watercolor effect. Then, I used a sponge dauber to ink around the edges of the panel with Marina Mist ink. Finally, I layered my artwork onto a mat of Always Artichoke and adhered it to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For my greeting , I chose the “Birthday Wishes” sentiment from Simply Sketched. I stamped it in Marina Mist ink on Whisper White card stock, and inked around the edge of the panel using a sponge dauber. Then I layered that onto a panel of Pistachio Pudding card stock, inking the edges of that panel with Always Artichoke ink. That combination was attached to a panel of Always Artichoke card stock (also inked with the same color) using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then the entire greeting was added to the front of the card using SNAIL Adhesive. I added a string of Basic Pearls Jewel Accents below the greeting for a little extra touch of class.

For the finishing touches on the inside of my card I layered strips of Pistachio Pudding DSP and Always Artichoke card stock and added them to the bottom of the card.

I’m really happy with how this card turned out in the end, but it was a journey getting there. I was a little stumped by the colors of the challenge this time. At first, I was trying to incorporate all three colors into my paper selection, but the blue just didn’t look like it belonged. Then, I remembered that cute little bird and inspiration was born! That is what I love about card challenges. They make you think differently than you might otherwise think. I would love to hear what inspires you too. Don’t forget to leave me a comment, for your chance to win a handcrafted card! Also, if you liked my post today, please pin it to Pinterest for me.

Simply Sketched, You Make Me Happy! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on March 16, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Today’s card features the Simply Sketched (wood mount and clear mount), Papillon Potpouri (wood mount and clear mount) and Perfect Pennants (wood mount and clear mount) stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! The Simply Sketched stamp set is one of the lovely hostess items you can earn through the Stampin’ Rewards program. I am in love with the flower in this set! This is the second card I’ve created with it this week. I think you can see by the different colors I used how versatile that little flower can be. (There’s a cute little bird in that set too. I haven’t used that one yet, but I expect you will be seeing it here soon.)

If you like what I’ve created today, I would love it if you would leave me a comment. On March 31st I will do a drawing and one lucky person who left me a comment will receive a handcrafted card in the mail! Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically. Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar. I get super excited every time that I see someone else is following my blog. It just makes my day to know you are following along with me as I create these posts!

Today’s card was inspired by:

I began my card with a Whisper White card base. Then I added a panel of Tempting Turquoise card stock using SNAIL adhesive. Next, I dry embossed a panel of Island Indigo card stock using the Lacy Brocade embossing folder and added that to the front of my card. For my focal point, I layered panels of Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight as the base for my three dimensional elements.

Next, I used Staz-on Black ink and my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the flower and leaf elements from the Simply Sketched stamp set onto a square of watercolor paper. I also stamped an additional flower and leaf on another scrap of watercolor paper to add some dimension later. I colored my stamped images using the Brights Collection Stampin’ Write Markers (Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, & Daffodil Delight) and a Blender Pen to give it a watercolor effect. I cut out the extra flower and leaves using paper snips. Then, I attached the leaves to the foreground of my square with mini glue dots and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to add my flower on top of the one on the square of watercolor paper for some extra depth. Then I stamped the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set onto some Whisper White card stock using Staz-on Black and colored it with my markers. Then I cut it out using the Bitty Butterflies Punch. I added a Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accent to the butterfly and added it to my square using Stampin Dimensionals. I adhered my watercolored panel to a square of Whisper White and added the finished piece to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I stamped the “You Make Me Happy” greeting from the Perfect Pennants stamp set on Whisper White card stock using my Tempting Turquoise Classic Stampin’ Pad. I cut that out using the Banners Framelits Dies (2nd from the center). I also cut a banners in Tempting Turquoise and Island Indigo (3rd from the center). (Remember, the Perfect Pennants stamp set and the Banners Framelits can be purchased as a bundle for 15% off, wood mount and clear mount.) I layered my greeting onto the Island Indigo banner and trimmed it down. Then I repeated the process with the Tempting Turquoise banner. Finally, I finished my design off with a button from the Designer Subtles Collection and some bakers twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (Sale-a-bration item).

For my finishing touch, I stamped the leaves from Simply Sketched and the butterfly from Papillon Potpouri on the inside of my card and colored them to match the front of the card.

I love how my watercolored square turned out. The colors just pop off the page, and the dimension added by the 3-D elements make it all really jump out at you. If you liked my post today, please pin it to Pinterest for me. I am new to blogging and I would love your help in developing a blog following.

Simply Sketched Just for You! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Today’s card features the Simply Sketched stamp set from Stampin’ Up! (wood mount and clear mount). This beautiful stamp set is one of our lovely hostess items available through the Stampin’ Rewards program. I just love the way it turned out with the watercoloring! I also love that this card was the perfect combination for four different challenges this week! I find it invigorating to try to combine more than one challenge into one card, but four is a new record for me! So, lots of props to the design teams who provided me with the necessary inspiration for today’s card: Dynamic Duos #93, Mojo Monday sketch #336, Splitcoast Stampers CAS #263, and SUO Challenges #92. I have to say, I really enjoy participating in challenges. I find that it makes me think creatively to figure out how I can meet the constraints presented by the design teams. I highly recommend it to get those creative juices flowing!

Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think of my card today. I really appreciate hearing your feedback. It is so uplifting to know that someone admires your work. Also, as an added benefit, on March 31st I will do a drawing and one lucky person who left me a comment will receive a handcrafted card in the mail! Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically. Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar. I get super excited every time that I see someone else is following my blog. It just makes my day to know you are following along with me as I create these posts!

I began my card with a Whisper White card base. Then I added a panel of Sahara Sand paper from the Sweet Sorbet DSP pack (Sale-a-bration item) using SNAIL adhesive. Next, I dry embossed a panel of Blushing Bride card stock using the decorative dots embossing folder (Sale-a-bration item). I layered that panel onto a panel of Crumb Cake card stock and added them to the front of my card. I used the 4th largest Circles Collection Framelits Die (counting from the outside in toward the center) to cut a circle of Crumb Cake card stock to mat my floral focal point. I used the next smallest circle die to trace a circle in pencil on Whisper White card stock, then I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to place the flower and leaf stamps where I wanted them in the circle using Staz-on Black Ink. I stamped another flower and leaf on a scrap of Whisper White to cut out for my three dimensional element.

For my watercoloring, I pressed my Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride Classic Stampin’ Pads onto a ceramic plate and used some water and a paintbrush to color in my stamped images. Then I cut out my circle using paper snips because I wanted to have the leaves overlap the circumference of the circle. I also cut out the extra leaf and flower stamps. I attached the leaves with mini glue dots, and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to add my flower to the front of the card for some extra depth.

Finally, I finished my card front with some pearls and the “Just for You” sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) in Staz-on Black. I punched the greeting out using the word window punch and attached it with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Because I wanted my sentiment to be small, I lined up the edge of the punch near the beginning of my greeting. Then I attached it to a post-it note to serve as a handle and punched it again from the other side. I just love how versatile Stampin’ Up! punches are. With a little ingenuity you can really do so many different things with them.

Of course, I couldn’t leave the inside of my card naked, so I stamped the images from the front on the inside and quickly colored them using the same watercoloring technique as before. I think it makes such a difference when you add a little detail the the inside of the card. It just seems to tie everything together and take your design to the next level.

I am very pleased with how this card turned out. It was actually my first attempt at watercoloring on a card, and I think it turned out fabulously! I hope that you agree. If you liked my post today, please pin it to Pinterest for me. I am new to blogging and I would love your help in developing a blog following. If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you will find a “pin it” button just below my supply list for the project… and, don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win a handcrafted card!

A “Beautifully Baroque” and “Mixed Bunch” Birthday! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on February 28, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

The card I have created for you today features the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder and the Mixed Bunch stamp set (wood mount and clear mount). It is not only beautiful, but also very quick! The best of both worlds for this busy mom and teacher! If you enjoy this card, please leave me a comment. I would love to hear what you think. On March 31st, I will do a drawing and one lucky person who left me a comment will receive a beautiful handcrafted card in the mail! Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically. Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar.

This card is loosely based on the Freshly Made Sketches #124.

I began my card by cutting a panel of Whisper White stock, which I dry embossed using the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder and my Big Shot. Then I cut my panel into thirds and adhered them to a Whisper White card base using SNAIL adhesive, leaving about 1/8″ of space between the three panels.

Next, I cut a thin strip of card stock and adhered a length of Strawberry Slush Stretch Ruffle Trim to it using SNAIL. I layered that at the bottom of my embossed panels, then I stamped my flower from the Mixed Bunch stamp set on whisper white card stock using my Strawberry Slush Classic Stampin’ Pad and cut it out using the Blossom Punch. For the center of my flower, I stamped a small medallion from the stamp set with the same ink on Strawberry Slush card stock. The medallion was punched using the 7/8″ scalloped circle punch and layered on top of the flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals and finished with a Basic Pearl Jewel Accent. I used my Banner Punch (Sale-a-bration item available FREE with a $50 purchase until March 31st) to cut out two small banners and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere them to the card behind the flower.

I finished my card by stamping the “Happy Birthday Wishes” greeting from the Simply Sketched stamp set (Hostess Reward Item) in the bottom corner of the card. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure I got the placement just right. I just love that tool!

As you can see, this card was very simple to make, but elegant none-the-less. If you enjoyed my post, please pin it to Pinterest for me. I am working on building up my blog following and could use your help in getting the word out! If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you will find a “pin it” button just below my supply list for the project… and, don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win a handcrafted card in the mail!
