Watercolor Summer Silhouettes – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #608

Posted on May 30, 2013 | 7 comments

Hey There,

I’m sharing a super simple watercolor like background technique with you today.   Your going to flip when you try it.   This is my second card tutorial this week using the beautiful Stampin’ Up! set Summer Silhouettes (item #126447).  It’s a must have.

I’ve also thrown in a few sneak peeks from the new Stampin’ Up! catalog that will be released tomorrow, May 31, 2013.    You will be able to start ordering from it at 12:00 p.m. Mountain Time tomorrow.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow.  I’ll be putting up a link to the new catty for your view pleasure as soon as Stampin’ Up! posts it.  Just know that it ROCKS!

***************************************************************

I’ve added the featured card of the day to my sales page where you will also find some great deals on retired stamp sets and my brayer video.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT

***************************************************************

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Summer Silhouettes (item #126447)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Watercolor paper, Old Olive, Crisp Cantaloupe (sneak peek) and Gingham Garden item #129310 (sneak peek)

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Old Olive, Basic Black and Crisp Cantaloupe

Accessories: Stampin’ Up!  Stampin’ Write Markers (Tempting Turquoise, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Always Artichoke and Tangerine Tango), White Gel Pen, Acrylic Block, Regals Candy Dots (item number 130932 sneak peek), Stampin’ Dimensionals and Whisper White Ribbon

For each color in the background you will scribble your Stampin’ Write Marker on a acrylic block, spritz very lightly with water and then smear it on the watercolor paper.   The more you spritz the more diluted your color will become.  I barely spritzed.

Started with Tempting Turquoise ink and smeared in a downward motion on a 3.5″ x 4″ piece of Watercolor paper.  Repeat a couple of times for each color.

 

 

 

Next color Pear Pizzazz.  This was done with an upward motion.

Next color Old Olive with an upward motion.

Lastly, I added Always Artichoke.   I wanted the Artichoke to be more prominent so I did not mist my block with water.  I scribbled on the block and smeared it with an upward motion.  This leaves little dots on the watercolor paper because it will only hit the peaks of the card stock.

Stamped the flower stems using Old Olive ink.

Stamped the flowers using Crisp Cantaloupe ink.

Stamped the leaves using Old Olive ink.

Stamped the leaves at the very bottom of the card stock using Basic Black ink.

Added a bit of Tangerine Tango marker to the undersides of the flower petals.

Added some highlights to the tops of the flower petals and tops of the leaves using a White Gel pen.

Here are my layer measurements.

Old Olive 6.5″ x 5″

Crisp Cantaloupe 6.25″ x 4.75″

Old Olive 2″ x 5.75″

Gingham Garden DSP 1.75″ x 5.5″ (sneak peek)

Old Olive 3.75″ x 4.25″

Assembled my card and added Whisper White Ribbon and Always Artichoke Candy Dots (sneak peek).

There you have it the finished card.

Urgent!   Only a few days left to pick up those Stampin’ Up! retiring stamps.  Retiring sets only available until June 3, 2013.

Summer Silhouettes – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #607

Posted on May 28, 2013 | 5 comments

Hey There,

This week I will be featuring card tutorials made with the Stampin’ Up! set Summer Silhouettes.    The Queen Anne’s Lace stamp really jumped out at me.  I love to see Queen Anne’s Lace growing at the side of a country road.  So to give that country feeling I teamed the stamp set up with some brand new Stampin’ Up! designer series paper (Gingham Garden item #129310) and Regals Candy Dots item #130932) which will be in the new annual catalog that starts on May 31st.  Check out my tutorial below.

Not Just For Fall II – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #606

Posted on May 24, 2013 | 3 comments

Hey There,

I’m continuing on using the Stampin’ Up! set Gently Falling for today’s card tutorial.  I hope you are seeing just how valuable this set is all year long.  It’s so much fun using a stamp set in an unexpected way.

Leaves are on the trees, pretty much 9 out of 12 months of the year here in Ohio, but it seems that we really only appreciate their beauty in the Autumn months.  Why is that, especially since they give us such relief from the heat in the Summer by provided us much needed shade.  Okay, I confess, I’m a tree hugger, lol.

Check out the tutorial below.

!***************************************************************

I’ve added the featured card of the day to my sales page where you will also find some great deals on retired stamp sets and my brayer video.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT

***************************************************************

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Gently Falling (item # 123804) and DayDream Wheel (item #126939)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Old Olive, Pistachio Pudding,  and Island Indigo

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Island Indigo, Always Artichoke and Old Olive

Accessories: Stampin’ Up!  Sponges, Soft Suede Seam Binding, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Wood Embossing Folder, Regals Candy Dots, Versamark pad, Heat Gun, Clear Embossing Powder and Big Shot Machine

 

Load the Daydream wheel with Versamark and rolled across a 3″ x 6.25″ piece of Whisper White card stock using a ruler to keep things straight.

Heat emboss the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Sponged Marina Mist ink at on the left side of the card stock.

Sponged Crumb Cake ink on the right side of the card stock.

Added Soft Suede ink to the right center of the card stock and around the edges on the right side.

Sponged Island Indigo ink on the left center of the card stock and around the edges of the left side.

Stamped 3 leaves on Pistachio Pudding card stock using Always Artichoke ink.

Stamped the leaf filler stamp using Old Olive.

Cut the leaves out and sponged Soft Suede ink on the stem end of the leaves and Island Indigo on the top tips of the leaves.

Adhered the leaves to the main image panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top of the leaves and glue on the bottom (stem end) of the leaves.  This adheres the leaves to the card stock and pops the top of them up but secures the stem.

Cut a 8.5″ x 3.75″ piece of Island Indigo card stock and embossed it using the Wood embossing folder and the Big Shot machine.  You need to run it through twice to get both ends of the card stock.  You can see the crease where the design meets but it looks like part of the design once the card is put together.

Added a 8″ x 9″ Old Olive card base and Soft Suede Seam binding.

Added a 3.25″ x 6.5″ Old Olive panel under the main image panel and the adhered them to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Also added Island Indigo Candy Dots.

Here is the completed card that measures 4″ x 9″.  This size card fits into a #10 size business envelope.  Anyone remember how all the funny cards years back use to be this size?  Maybe I’m showing my age here, lol.

Not Just for Fall Leaf – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #605

Posted on May 23, 2013 | 3 comments

Hey There,

I’ve been busy, busy with my vegetable garden of late.  When you are growing food you are a slave to the calendar starting the season out.  Got to prepare the soil and get those seeds and plants in the ground so they have time to grow before seasons end.  Oh yeah, and keep everything weed free.  That’s a full time job around here.   Sounds like a lot of work and it is, but boy I love my fresh veggies and the exercise is great for me to.

Anyhow, I’ve come in out of the garden to give you today’s tutorial.  Check it out, I’ve used the beautiful Stampin’ Up! set Gently Falling for this project.  Remember to give those Seasonal stamps a look now and then.  Don’t just put those Autumn sets in a box and not bring them out until October.  They can be used year about.  Take for instance my card today, I could use this card for a thank you, thinking of you or sympathy.   Keep your leaves green or white and stay away from the yellow and orange colors for your leaves and you have an everyday scene.  My complete tutorial for this card is below.  Enjoy!***************************************************************

I’ve added the featured card of the day to my sales page where you will also find some great deals on retired stamp sets and my brayer video.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT

***************************************************************

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Gently Falling (item # 123804)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and DSP from the Patterns Stack Neutrals

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede

Accessories: Stampin’ Up!  Sponge, White Gel Pen, Crumb Cake Seam Binding, Basic Black Marker, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Basic Pearl Jewels

Started with a 3″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.  Masked the bottom 1.25″ with a post it note and then lightly sponged Always Artichoke ink, using a back and forth motion, on the unmasked area.

Sponged just a little Cherry Cobbler ink at the post it note edge.

Sponged Soft Suede ink at the post it note edge and the top of the card stock.

Removed the mask and put it back on to cover the top 2.25″.  Sponged Always Artichoke ink lightly on the unmasked area.

Sponged Soft Suede at the post it note edge.

Removed the mask and lightly sponged Soft Suede ink in the uninked section of the card stock.

Stamped the leaf using Always Artichoke ink.

Colored the leaf in using a White Gel Pen.

Here are my layers:

Very Vanilla Card base 10″ x 6.5″ folded in half

Soft Suede 5″ x 6.5″

Very Vanilla 4.75″ x 6.25″

DSP 4.5″ x 6″

Very Vanilla 3 3/8″ square

Soft Suede 3.25 square

Assembled the DSP on the largest Very Vanilla panel.  Added Crumb Cake Seam binding, adhering the ends to the back of the Very Vanilla panel.  Adhered those panels to the large Soft Suede Panel and then to the card stock base.  Assembled the main image panel, Soft Suede panel and Very Vanilla panel.  Adhered them to the larger panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.

Cut another piece of Seam binding and slipped it under the already attached Seam Binding and then tied it.

Added large Basic Pearls to the main image panel.

The leaf was looking a bit flat so I added a bit of Basic Black marker to the bottom of the leaf to give it some dimension.

Here is the finished card.

Before I close I have an announcement to make, the Mystery Hostess for the drawing ending May 21, 2013 is . . . . . . . Diana Simpson!!  Diana receives the hostess benefits from the pool orders using the last hostess code.

That went so well, let’s keep doing it.  Here are the details:

The Open Sea II – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #604

Posted on May 17, 2013 | 3 comments

Hey There,

This is my second free tutorial this week using the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets The Open Seas and Clockworks.  These two sets together make such great masculine cards.  I don’t know about you, but masculine cards are hard for me to come up with.  With Father’s Day approaching this card will come in handy.

My turtorial today features a little bit of direct to paper, watch out this technique is addictive.  Check out the tutorial below.

***************************************************************

I’ve added the featured card of the day to my sales page where you will also find some great deals on retired stamp sets and my brayer video.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Clockworks (item #127292) and The Open Sea (item #123032)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Basic Black and DSP from the Stampin’ Up! Regals Patterns Stack

Ink: Stampin’ Up!Basic Black, Soft Sky, Marina Mist, Pacific Point and Stazon Jet Black

Accessories: Stampin’ Up!  Sponge, White Gel Pen, Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Argyle Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine

 

Stamped the Seagulls stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Clockworks set using Soft Sky ink on a 3″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.

Smeared the Soft Sky ink pad behind the stamp image.

Stamped the image again using Marina Mist ink and then smeared Marina Mist ink behind the image.

 

Stamped the image a third time using Pacific Point ink.

Smeared Soft Sky ink at the bottom of the card stock to create the water.

Lightly smeared Marina Mist ink in at the bottom of the card stock.

Smeared Pacific Point ink in at the bottom of the card stock.

Stamped the Ship using Stazon Jet Black ink.

Added lines of ink using the very edge of the Pacific Point ink pad under the ship to blend the Black water lines into the Pacific Point ink.

Added White Gel Pen to the sails.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edges of the card stock.

Cut a 2 7/8″ x 5.5″ piece of Basic Black card stock and cut a “v” out of the bottom.

Embossed it using the Argyle embossing folder and Big Shot Machine.

Cut a 4.75″ x 6.25″ piece of DSP and ripped the edge off of the bottom.

Embossed the DSP using the Argyle embossing folder and Big Shot Machine.  Note:  the paper does not all fit in the folder.  There will be a edge around the DSP that has not embossing.

Smeared the Marina Mist ink pad over the DSP to darken the embossing a bit so it shows up better.

Added the Basic Black piece and then added a Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon and adhered it to the back of the DSP.  Slipped a shorter piece of ribbon under the other and tied a knot.

 

Added a 5″ x 6.5″ Basic Black card base and then my main image was added using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.

Her is the finished card.

May you have a safe journey today and every day.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Huge Hugs!
