Layers of Beauty

In Friday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created these two cards using the Layers of Beauty Bundle by Stampin’ Up!®. This Bundle includes stamps, dies and masks, which can be coloured in using different methods. Here I am showing two methods and creating 2 different cards.

The first card is using the same layout from last Fridays live card with one small change…the DSP is only 5cm wide instead of 6cm. This was only because I was trying to get more from the 6 x 6″ DSP.

This layout is CASED from Patty Bennett.

Measurements Used…

Card 1

    • Stamp image with Early Espresso Stampin’ Pad.
  • Flowers Only

Nests of Winter

For today’s card I used the Nests of Winter Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®, found on page 30 & 31 of the current 2024 Mini Catalogue Sept- Jan. The idea for this layout was cased from Patty Bennett.

This is a very simple card and the foundation of the card is a good base using any Designer Series Paper, stamps & dies.

I have created added texture to the card by stamping a small image on the left side of the card base using ink the same colour as the cardstock, Gray Granite on Gray Granite. I also inked the edges of the card base and Designer Series Paper with Copper Clay ink. This just gives the cardstock a little more warmth.

Leaves were die cut in Granny Apple Green and Garden Green and also coloured with ink….Garden Green on the Granny Apple Green leaves and Copper Clay on the Garden Green leaves.

All the details are in the YouTube Video linked below….

Frames & Flowers Cards

On ‘Live with Michele’ I created two cards using the Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! ®. This paper pack consists of 3 sheets of double sided DSP and the 3 sheets of die cuts of frames, wreaths and floral images.

These papers and dies can be used for cards and also be used in scrapbook pages.

  • Card Mat Metric – On the video I cut this using the Imperial Measurements as the frame, have added Metric measurements above
  • TIP: clean your embossing folder after embossing , as any residue ink left of the folder may transfer to your next project.

  • When embossing the Petal Pink Card Front for this card I got residue ink from the previous card. If this happens to you …the embossing folder I have used in this card looks just as good on the wrong side. So I could turn the piece over and keep going.

Enduring Beauty – Ghost Colouring

The card I created last night on my live uses the Stampin’ Up! ® Enduring Beauty Stamps, Enduring Beauty Dies and Enduring Beauty Decorative Masks.

I’m calling this technique ‘Ghost Colouring’ as the White Craft Ink on a dark cardstock has a ghost look or a sheerness effect when applied with a Blending Brush onto a dark surface such as the Basic Black. This would also look great on Night Of Navy and Blackberry Bliss.

You can add colour on top of the White Craft Ink but it will change the shade of your colour a lot (as shown in Video, linked below)

Pocket Thoughts images could be used on cards where you might want to celebrate Birthdays, Engagement/weddings or Graduations. The dies that come in this bundle are for three size pockets that can be used for gift cards, notes or jounrnaling pockets on scrapbook layouts.

This card was created for my sons partner and I had fun playing with my two favorite colours in the 2024-26 In Colours Designer Series Paper – Petunia Pop and Summer Splash

Measurements Used…

Tips

  • Pocket Thoughts Die – middle size
  • The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped once in full strength ink and then stamped of in second Generation stamping.
  • The stamps in the set are two step stamps – one stamp, stamps the image and the 2nd stamp colours the image. Here the icing on the cup cake stamp was stamped off to get a lighter shade or 2nd Generation stamping.
  • The cup cake base I coloured using Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends – Light and dark.
  • I used a 10-12cm (4-4 1/2″) length of ribbon in Petunia Pop and Summer Splash. Gently unravel the ribbon so your left with the weft threads. Place the two colours together and tie together. Trim the ends to neaten off.
  • I doubled the Dimensionals for height behind the cup cake to cover the knot of the ribbon.
  • The photo’s below i have added an extra Gold Foil leaf. The die leaf is from the Thoughtful Wishes Dies.
