Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop

Welcome to this months Ink.Stamp.Share Monthly Card Making and Papercraft

ideas and inspirtation Blog Hop featuring Stampin' Up! products.

We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world sharing 

Card making and Papercraft ideas using Stampin' Up! products, your currently

hopping with me Laura Mackie a Demonstrator from the United Kingdom.

This month our theme is 'anything we've been working on' 

and I thought I'd share with you another card I made using the 
Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp set

I started by stamping the smaller sunflower on some 

whisper white cardstock and then coloured them in with 

my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, 

in Daffodil Delight light and Dark, Old Olive light and dark

and Soft Sued Light and Dark for the centres of my Sunflowers.

I then die cut everything out with the co-ordinating dies, 

I also die cut some extra leaves from some Crumb Cake cardstock 

and Vellum Cardstock, and just played around, 

I had a rough idea of the layout in my head, 

Once happy I began to adhere down my flowers and leaves, 

everything is adhered down flat, with only the sentiment raised on 

dimensional pads, 

My sentiment is stamped in versamark ink, and heat embossed with 

white embossing powder on to Basic Black cardstock.

I added some champagne rhinestones and a bow

tied in linen thread to finish.

To recreate my card:

Card Base Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake cardstock measuring

21cm x 14.85cm scored in half at 10.5cm

gold foil layer measuring  9.5cm 13.85

another Crumb Cake cardstock layer measuring 9.2cm x 13.5cm

Basic Black for sentiment 2cm x 13.5cm (approx)

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers handmade card

So I'm back today to share some more 

Sunflower card making happiness!

The Celebrate Sunflower Stamp set from Stampin' Up! is one of

my favourites, I love to colour with my Stampin' Blends, so this 

flower is perfect! I tend to stamp several and then sit in front of the TV

and just colour them in, its very relaxing and therapeutic! if you need to unwind

from a heavy or stressful day this is the medicine for you!

The bonus of pre colouring the Sunflowers is that assembling and 

making your cards is pretty quick and perfect for mass producing too.

I've coloured the Sunflower in with the following Stampin' Blends

Old Olive Light and Dark for the Leaves

Daffodil Delight light and Dark for the petals,

and 

Soft Suede Light and Dark for the sunflower centre

My sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink, onto Basic Black cardstock 

and then heat embossed in White, for a real pop against the Sunflower. 

Card measurements

To make my card you will need 

a C6 Card base, I've used Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake cardstock 

measuring 21cm x 14.85cm scored in half at 10.5cm, I cut the card base and 

all cardstock on my Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer (see below)

A piece of Stampin' Up! gold foil sheet measuring 8.3cm x 12.7cm

and then a Whisper white layer measuring 8cm x 12.4cm

Sunflower and leaves stamped on Whisper White Off cuts, coloured and 

die cut out using the coordinating card making Dies.
