Bright Bolds Scribble This



To create this card, I stamped the flower image from Scribble This Stampin' Up! stamp set onto watercolour cardstock using the Staz On Ink Pad.

I then used Only Orange from Stampin' Up! Bright Bold's watercolour crayons to follow the out line and Yoyo Yellow to cover the dots. Using an aqua painter simply colour over the crayon and it leaves a water colour look.

I mounted the image onto Yoyo Yellowcard stock and Only Orange card stock. Take your background card and using the circle stamp from "Heartfelt Thanks" stampset by Stampin' Up! stamp Yoyo Yellow circles. Once you have done this on half the card, you can then mount your layered image.

Using Only Orange Ink stamp your greeting under the image.

Black and Red Garden Whimsy Card



Take Whisper White card stock and stamp the large butterfly image from Garden Whimsy with black ink. On smaller peices of Whisper White stamp the small butterfly from Garden Whimsy. Layer the Whiser White card stock onto Basic Black card stock making sure there is about 1/2 cm round the edges. On Real Red cardstock layer a piece of Basic Black grosgrain ribbon, the position the three butterfly images.

Underneath the ribbon, stamp the wording from the Garden Whimsey stamp set.

A BIG Thank You

To all of you who made it to my workshop today - Thank You! I hope you enjoyed it and learnt a couple of new techniques. I have posted "how to's" on my blog if you would like to use the ideas we did today.

Look forward to catching up with you all soon!

In Colour Bugs and Kisses

Take a piece of Tangerine Tango card stock and using Tangerine Tango ink - stamp the card stock with butterflies from the "Sprinkles" stamp set. You don't need to stamp anywhere in particular - just random over the card stock.
Next take a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and using Tangerine Tango ink stamp the dragonfly from "Bugs and Kisses" stamp set. Cut the dragonfly into three pieces using your Paper Snips. Mount the 3 sections on Riding Hood Red card stock (5cm x 8.5cm) using Stampin' Up! stampin dimensionals. Mount this on a piece of Pacific Point card stock (7cm x 10.5cm).
At the bottom of the card, stamp your wording In Pacific Point ink.

In Colour Garden Whimsy

For this card I have used the New In Colour family from Stampin' Up!
First, take an A4 sheet of Pacific Point Card stock and cut it in half using your paper cutter. Take one of the halves and fold it in half. Take a piece of Whisper White cardstock (6.5cm x 15cm) and stamp the large butterfly with Tangerine Tango then stamp the small butterfly with Riding Hood Red and the big butterfly again with Pacific Point. On a separate peice of Whisper White card stock stamp the small butterfly again in Riding Hood Red and also stamp the wording in Tangerine Tango. Cut the small Riding Hood Red and the wording out. Using a Stamin Dimensional on the back of your cut out small butterfly mount it on top of the Riding Hood Red stamped image. I have just cut around the solid image rather than the antennae and outline. Mount the wording on a peice of Tangerine Tango card stock.
Mount the Whisper White card stock with your stamped images onto a piece of Riding Hood Red card stock (7.5cm x 15cm) then mount on your Pacific Point Card. Finally add the wording.
