Hello and welcome to the June Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month we have a card sketch challenge. You can use a card sketch as precisely or loosely as you wish, following every detail or turning the idea on its head. Our card sketch has measurements and for that reason I have chosen to follow as closely as I can, with the supplies I have.

I do enjoy a card sketch challenge and love to see everyone’s interpretation. Just by changing a shape or using different colours or supplies, makes such a difference to the end product. This card sketch was given to us by Cheryl – Stampin’ n Crafting with Cheryldiana and she has given us metric and imperial measurements. All my measurements are metric.

Creating a Card with a Card Sketch

Trim a piece of Pool Party cardstock to 10.2cm x 14.6cm and dry emboss, using the Dots embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Adhere this to an A6 Pool Party cardbase, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm.

Cut a Melon Mambo mat layer, measuring 8cm x 11cm, and adhere to your embossed layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut two circles from Basic White cardstock. Add a light shadow of Pool Party ink with a Blending Brush. Stamp several hearts on one circle, using Melon Mambo ink and I used the hearts from the Bee My Valentine stamp set. Adhere your circles to your Melon Mambo layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stamp and die cut the Beaver image, from the Fluffiest Friends Bundle, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock. Colour your image using Stampin’ Blends, I have used Melon Mambo Dark, Peacan Pie Light and 100 & 300 from the naturals. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere to your lower circle.

For the sentiment I have used ‘Thank you’ from the Throughout The Year stamp set and stamped onto Basic White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Diecut using the longer, narrow banner from the Styish Shapes Dies. Add to your card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish your card, add several Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I hope I have inspired you to get creative and have a go at using a card sketch. All products used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.

The post How To Use A Card Sketch. appeared first on Leighsa's Loft.

Hello and welcome to February’s Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. For this month’s theme we have a colour challenge. I do enjoy a colour challenge, sometimes it really makes you think creatively. Stampin’ Up!’s full range of coordinating products makes this challenge perfect. Having the cardstock, ink, papers, blends and more, in the matching colours makes creating with a select few colours easier.

I had to choose the Darling Details Bundle to pair with these colours. For me they just fit right together. Sometimes this happens, you see a colour combo and know straight away what stamp set you want to use with it, or vice versa.

Creating your colour challenge card

Cut a panel of basic white cardstock, measuring 9cm x 12cm. Stamp the large flower image, using a light ink (I use stamped off Bubble Bath) to the center. This is a guide for stamping the other images. Either side and over lapping slightly, stamp the middle-sized flower image, using Berry Burst ink. I use second generation/stamped off for the outline and third generation/stamped off twice for the infill. Next stamp the foliage sprig four times, using Pretty Peacock ink. Finish your panel by stamping several of the small flower image around, using Lost Lagoon ink.

On a scrap of basic white cardstock, stamp the large flower using Berry Burst ink. Full strength for the outline and second generation/stamped off for the infill. Die cut with the coordinating die. From basic white cardstock, die cut the large, detailed frame, two long floral sprigs and two leaf trios.

Adhere your large flower to your panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere your die cut foliage and leaves, under your flower, using wet glue. Attach your detailed frame to your panel, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Heat emboss your sentiment in white onto Basic Black cardstock. Fussy cut around and adhere to your panel.

Trim a piece of Lost Lagoon Tartan Foil Speciality Designer Series Paper to 10cm x 14.4cm. Adhere this to an A6 Thick Basic White card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm.

Finish your card by adding your panel to your card base.

I hope I have inspired you to get creative. All products used and listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.

Please do continue to hop round for lots more creativity and inspiration.

You can watch a video of me recreating this card here.

Hello, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to inspire you to get creative! What is CASE-ing? You may have heard this used quite often within the crafting community, but what does it mean? CASE stand for Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit, depending on who is using it. It can be a fantastic way to get your creative mojo going, try new techniques, layouts and more. You can case the layout or colours used, but use a different stamp set or dies.

This week’s Global Design Project challenge #GDP404 is a CASE the designer challenge.

Stamp your image onto Basic White cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colour with Stampin’ Blends. I have used Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight and Pebbled Path combos, plus light Pool Party, and Ivory. Fussy cut around your image.

Using the Tailor Made Tag Dies, die cut two of the largest tags from Crumb Cake and Basic White cardstock. Offset the Basic White tag behind the Crumb Cake tag and adhere into place. Cut a length of Crumb Cake and Basic White Bakers Twine and tie in a bow through your tags.

Create an A6 card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, using Thick Basic White cardstock. Trim a piece of Basic White cardstock to 10cm x 14.4cm and adhere onto your card front.

Cut a piece of Countryside Inn DSP (Designer Series Paper), measuring 9.5cm x 13.9cm and adhere on to your Basic White layer. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, add your tags to the front.

Finish by adding your coloured image, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. If you are posting, then you may wish to adhere flat.

I do hope I have inspired you to get creative. All products used are listed below and available in my online shop.

Hello, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to inspire you to get creative! Today’s card is a CASE of a card from the new annual catalogue, page 68. CASE-ing is a fantastic way to get your creative mojo going, try new techniques, layouts and more. CASE stand for Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit. I created for Global Design Project #GDP393 and this week we have a colour challenge.

CASE-ing the catalogue

Cut two pieces of Basic White cardstock, measuring 10cm x 14.4cm. Die cut one using the largest frame from the Darling Details Dies. Using Coastal Cabana ink and a Blending Brush, create a soft background on the second piece. Adhere your die cut piece to your blended piece using Foam Adhesive Strips.

Stamp various flowers, buds, and leaves onto Basic White cardstock, using Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, and Smoky Slate ink. Die cut using the coordinating dies, from the Darling Details Dies. Die cut an assortment of the outline foliage and flowers from Basic White cardstock.

Adhere your large flower onto your card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Arrange your flowers and foliage around the flower, until you are happy, and adhere into place using Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock, using Smoky Slate ink, and trim to size. I have chosen to use a banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies and trim off the right-hand edge. Adhere into place using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Create an A6 cardbase, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, using Basic White Thick cardstock. Adhere your card front to your cardbase.

The post CASE-ING the Catalogue for #GDP393 appeared first on Leighsa's Loft.

Hello, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to inspire you to get creative! Today I would like to share with you a card with a split background, which I created for Global Design Project #GDP391. This week we have a theme challenge.

Sorry I have been missing, but life and my Rheumatoid Arthritis have had other ideas, plus I had to get a new laptop and that in itself has been a challenge. I cannot believe we are at the end of April and the new annual catalogue goes live on the 2nd May 2023. There are so many wonderful new products, as well as the new and returning colours. I am sad to say goodbye to some but know others will soon take their place on my favourites list.

Creating your Split Background

Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock, measuring 4.7cm x 14cm, and emboss using the Raindrops Embossing Folder. Using The Rays Of Light stamp and Daffodil Delight ink, stamp your image onto Basic White cardstock and trim to 4.7cm x 14cm. Cut a Basic White layer, measuring 10cm x 14.5cm, and adhere your panels on top.

Create an A6 card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, using Pool Party cardstock and adhere your layer to the front.

Stamp your child image, from the By My Side stamp set, onto Basic White cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colour your image. I have chosen to use Stampin’ Blends in, Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Real Red, Stary Sky and SU 100/300/800/900. Fussy cut around your image and adhere to your card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp your sentiment onto Basic White cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and punch out using the Cloud Punch. Adhere into place using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches.

Finish your card by adding several of the Glossy Dots Assortment.

I do hope I have inspired you to get creative. All products used are listed below and available in my online shop. The Boho Blue and Copper Clay Stampin’ Blends are not list as not available until 02/05/23

Hello, thank you for stopping by and allowing me to inspire you to get creative! Today I would like to share with you how I created this Hi, Sweet Friend card for the Global Design Project #GDP348. This week we have a CASE the Designer challenge.

I really enjoy a CASE the Designer challenge. To CASE means Copy And Selectively Edit. You may have also heard Copy And Share Everything, this is also true, but for Global Design Project it is Copy And Selectively Edit.

Hi, Sweet Friend Card

For this card I will be using the By My Side stamp set and Stampin’ Blends.

Stamp your image onto Basic White cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Colour your stamped image using Granny Apple Green, Orchid Oasis, Soft Suede, Bronze, and Medium Light Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends. For extra detail I also used a touch of Light Daffodil Delight, Light Pool Party, and Colour Lifter Stampin’ Blends. Fussy cut leaving a thin white border.

Trim a piece of Basic White cardstock to 9cm x 13.4cm and lightly splatter with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend, by flicking the nib from the edge of the lid. Layer onto a piece of Orchid Oasis, measuring 9.2cm x 13.6cm.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, die cut the second largest square from a piece of Crushed Curry DSP (Designer Series Paper), from the Tea Boutique DSP. Adhere to your splattered Basic White layer, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Place your coloured image in the center and adhere using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Create an A6 card base, measuring 10.5cm x 14.9cm, from Basic White Thick cardstock and adhere your layers onto the front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stamp your sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Finishing Touches

To finish your card, add several Rhinestone Basic Gems.

Hello and welcome to Mays Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop – Theme 2021-2023 In-colour + Bonus Theme – Florals.

I know it has been a while but thank you for revisiting. Life has been crazy, due to my day job returning after lockdown. I am a chef at a local pub and it has been all hands on deck. Fortunately, things have started to quieten down and I can back to doing what I love, sharing my creations with you all.

This years new In-colours are beautiful and work so well together, as well as with our core colour families. I wanted to use this opportunity to introduce them to you.

2021-2023 In-colour Customer Thank you Cards

With our added theme of Florals, I thought I would recreate a card I made previously, which I loved and thought it would show off the 2021-2023 In-colours perfectly. This card uses the Lovely You Stamp set and the co-ordinating Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.

Cut a card front from ‘Basic White’ cardstock, measuring 14.4cm x 10cm. Randomly stamp your chosen images from ‘Lovely You’ stamp set, using ‘Pale Papaya’, ‘Polished Pink’, ‘Fresh Freesia’, ‘Soft Succulent’ and ‘Evening Evergreen’ ink pads. Layer onto a piece of 2021-2023 In-colour cardstock, measuring 14.6cm x 10.2cm.

Wrap a length of matching 2021-2023 In-colour ‘Open Weave Ribbon’ around the centre of your card front and tie with a bow. Slide your bow to the left hand side. Adhere your card front to a ‘Basic White Thick’ card base, measuring 14.9cm x 10.5cm.

Stamp your sentiment onto a piece of ‘Basic White’ cardstock, measuring 3/4″ x3″, using the matching 2021-2023 In-colour ink pad. Punch both ends using the ‘Lovely Labels Pick a Punch’. Adhere on top of your ribbon using ‘Stampin Dimensionals’.

Hello and welcome to the second Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. Weather you have hopped on by from a fellow demonstrator, or started here with me, I am glad you have stopped by. Our theme this month is a sketch, designed by our fantastic Sara at Kiss Kreative.

I love a good sketch and this one is such fun. We are able to use any products to interpret this as we feel. I have chosen to use the ‘Ice Cream Corner Suite’, from the January – June 2021 catalogue. This is such a bright, fun suite that is excellent for the coming summer months.

You’re So Cool card

Create an A6 card base from ‘Blackberry Bliss’ cardstock, measuring 10.5 cm x 14.9cm. Layer with a piece of ‘Basic White’ cardstock, measuring 10cm x 14.4cm. Cut a piece of ‘Ice Cream Corner’ DSP (Designer Series Paper), measuring 4cm x 13.9cm, and adhere to the left hand side of your ‘Basic White’ layer. Trim a second piece of coordinating ‘Ice Cream Corner’ DSP, measuring 10cm x 2.5cm, and adhere towards the bottom of your ‘Basic White’ layer.

Using ‘Old Olive’, ‘Terracotta Tile’ and ‘Bermuda Bay’ ink, stamp your ice cream image onto ‘Basic White’ cardstock. Punch out using the ‘Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch’. Also using the ‘Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch’, punch out three cones from ‘Cinnamon Cider’ DSP. Attach your stamped ice cream to your cones, using ‘Multipurpose Adhesive’. Add your ice creams to your card, using ‘Stampin Dimensionals’.

Stamp your You’re So Cool sentiment onto ‘Basic Black’ cardstock, using ‘Versamark’ ink. Cover with ‘White Stampin Emboss Powder’, shake off excess and heat until all is melted. Fussy cut each word and adhere to your card using ‘Mini Stampin Dimensionals’.

Finish your card by adding ‘Wink Of Stella’ to your ice creams.

All items used are listed below and available to purchase from my online shop.

Hello, I am so glad you could join me. For todays post I am joining the Global Design Project – #GDP286. This week we have been given a sketch/layout for our projects.

I do enjoy a sketch/layout challenge, being given a starting point, to interpret however we like. Also having the choice of any current products. I have chosen to revisit the ‘Ornate Garden Suite’, from the 2020/2021 annual catalogue. This suite contains two stamp set and die bundles, embossing folder, ribbon, DSP (designer series paper) and gems. The colours, (‘Terracotta Tile’, ‘Bumble Bee’, ‘Old Olive’, ‘Mint Macaron’, ‘Early Espresso’ and Gold), are fresh and perfect for a spring project.

I have chosen to introduce some other elements, not from the suite, to my project. I love the versatility and coordination of Stampin’ Up! products.

Enjoy The Moment Card #GDP286

Create a 10.5cm square card base from ‘Blackberry Bliss’ cardstock and layer with a 10cm square of ‘Ornate Garden Speciality DSP’. Cut a second piece of ‘Ornate Garden Speciality DSP’, measuring 9cm square and adhere to your card front.

Adhere a circular element, from the ‘Dandy Laser-cut Paper’ , to your card front. Stamp your daisy and small flower images, from the ‘Ornate Style’ stamp set, using ‘Memento Tuxedo Black Ink’ on ‘Basic White’ cardstock. Colour using ‘Blackberry Bliss’, ‘ Crumb Cake’, ‘Daffodil Delight’ and ‘Old Olive’ ‘Stampin Blends’ combos. Fussy cut and adhere to your circular element. Use ‘Stampin Dimensionals’ to adhere your daisy.

Using ‘Blackberry Bliss’ ink, stamp your sentiment on ‘Basic White’ cardstock. I have used the ‘Enjoy The Moment’ sentiment from the ‘Enjoy The Moment’ stamp set. Cut out each word and adhere to your card front, using ‘Stampin Dimensionals’.

Add several ‘Pearl Basic Jewels’ to finish your card.

I hope you have found some inspiration in my #GDP286 project. All products used are listed below and available from my online shop.
