Regency Park #003 Sketch Challenge – Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our challenge this month is a Sketch Challenge by Maheswari. I love the layers of two frames that are slightly twisted, with decorative elements on diagonal corners.

Regency Park

For my card I have used the Regency Park Suite by Stampin’ Up!® and to create my card I used manly the Petal Park Bundle. This is such a simple bundle to use, you can colour the flowers by hand with any medium you wish or use the stamps to colour the flowers. The suite includes a simple simple punch to make cut out the flowers and one leaf quick and easy.

The suite consists of two Bundles

  • Petal Park Bundle 160577 Flowers & leaf stamps plus the Punch
  • Sentimental Park Bundle 160567 – Sentiments, more flowers & leaves and Dies

It then has other items in the suite including

  • Textured 12 x12 Shimmer Paper
  • Can Weave 3D Embossing Folder
  • Night of Navy Boardered Ribbon
  • Adhesive Backed Milky Dots
  • Regency Park 6 x 6 DSP

I created the two rectangle frames cut from the Rectangle Stitched Frames and Basic White Cardstock.

The Flowers are coloured with Watercolour Pencils onto Basic White Cardstock. Instead of Blending the pencils water or Blender Pens I have used Memento Ink and Blends Colour Lifter. Patty Bennett did a very good video on this technique – Blending Watercolor Pencils with Color Lifter

How to make this card…

  • Card Front – Embossed, I used for this one of the Basic 3D Folders 161598 from the Online Exclusive, you could of course use the 3D embossing folder that comes with the suite, but I wanted something a little more subtle.
  • Frames – Placing one die side of the other, die cut 2 frames.
  • Flowers Stamping – Stamp 3 sets of flowers and 8 leaves using Memento Tuxedo.
  • Flowers, coloured with pencils and blended with Blends Colour Lifter
    • Large flowers – Balmy Blue and Night of Navy
    • Medium Flowers – Flirty Flamingo, Mellon Mambo & Daffodil Delight
    • Small Flower – Gorgeous Grape & Mellon Mambo
    • Leaves – Old Olive & Granny Apple Green
  • Bakers twine split and added under flowers
  • Sentiment – Embossed in White Embossing Powder
  • Card Insert – Insert strip embossed with the 3D Embossing Folder

Rain or Shine #002 -Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.

Our Theme this month is Rain or Shine Suite Collection. This is just a little taste of whats to come with our our first Stamp Camp happening on 4th March, which I hope you can join us...HERE are the details.

This card I have used my Blends to colour the Rabbit in and also some Paper Piecing to give him a coloured jacket.

I love a matted card front, it can give it a different feel or make what elements you use ‘POP!’. This card has a white on white card base and card mat. The DSP and Velum have been cut to size using the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The vellum making the fun little rabbit stand out.

How to make this card…

  • Adhere the DSP Panel to the Card Mat.
  • Using a small amount of Seal adhere the Vellum to the DSP, it is placed more to the left of the card. Make sure the placement of the seal will be hidden under the Rabbit.
  • A length of ribbon was wrapped around the card and attached behind the card mat.
  • Adhere the matted card front to the card base.
  • The Rabbit was stamped onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and also onto a piece of DSP.
  • He was coloured using Blends – Gray Granite and Flirty Flamingo.
  • Paper Piecing – The jacket was cut from the DSP using a craft knife and Glass Plate (see my Video on Fussy Cutting made on this a few years back)
  • After cutting the Rabbit using the coordinating dies adhere the jacket onto the Rabbit
  • With dimensionals attach the rabbit to your card front.
  • Tie a separate bow and adhered with a glue dot to the left of the Rabbit
  • Sentiment was stamped into a piece of Basic White cardstock and cut using one of the smaller Layering Circle Dies. Using one of the small blending brush blend on Balmy Blue ink around the edges. Adhere to card front with multi-pupose glue.
  • On the Card Insert I have also added a DSP strip and a length of Ribbon but instead of a bow I just tied a half knot, so as the card is not too bumpy inside.
  • Adhere the insert into the inside of the card.
