Four Feathers - Project 4 of 4!

Hello!

Thank you for taking a closer look!

Today features the final card of four! All pretty straight forward, so don't be scared to give it a go!!

For the background I inked up Clear-mount Block D, 118485 (the block itself) with some Pacific Point ink (126951), ink up well, because the Naturals White Cardstock (129588) isn't as thirsty as smooth cardstock.  I used the 'blotchy' image from the) Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (130514) and stamped it with Stazon Jet Black ink (1014060) to add a bit of interest to the background. The feather stamps from the Four Feathers stamp set (135053) were inked with Garden Green (126973) and Bermuda Bay (131171) and die cut with the Feahers Framelits Dies (135852) to create perfect palm leaves! The Hello stamp (from A dozen Thoughts set, 131056) was heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder (109133).

And as promised a beautiful gift in the end!

Tie the Bermuda Bay 1 -1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (134551) around - no need for a bow with this one - just a knot! Stamp a sentiment from the Merry Everything Clear Stamp  set (135071) and punch it out with the Note Tag Punch (135860). The last two products are from the Holiday Catalogue. Voila!

Let me know what you think!

Four Feathers - Project 3 of 4

Hello!

Today I share with you the 3rd card of 4 to make up a beautiful gift pack! 

As with the previous two cards I used my Four Feathers Clear stamp set (135053). But first things first! For my background I Used one of the Gorgeous Grunge Wooden stamps (130514). I stamped the image in Bermuda Bay (131171) and Pacific Point (126951). If your ink pad is still very moist, stamp off first on some scratch paper. I inked the Awesome... Thanks! sentiment (from the Yippee-Skippee set, 131341) first with Versamark (102283) and then with Bermuda Bay and heat embossed it with Clear Embossing powder. 

The rest of my products list:

126980 Basic Black A4 Cardstock (My card base measures 10.5cm x 21cm, finished card measures 10.5cm x 10,5cm )

133700 Back to Black DSP

101406 Stazon Ink ( feather images)

135852 Feathers Framelits Dies

Again very quick and easy! I hope you like it!

Four Feathers - Project 2 of 4

Hello again!

The second card (part of a four card gift pack) is just as easy!

I used the Hip Hip Hooray stamp from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit (p 197 of the Inspire. Create. 

share Catalogue). This is one of may favourite birthday stamps! I inked the stamp  with some Versamark Ink (102283) and then inked one half of the stamp with Garden
Green (126973) and the other half with Bermuda Bay (131171) and heat embossed it with Clear Embossing Powder (109130). For the feathers (Four Feathers Clear stamp set - 135053) I  used the Bermuda Bay, Garden Green and Pacific Point Stampin'Write Markers to colour the images, huffed over the whole image and stamped.

Here is a list of the rest of the products I used:

126980 Basic Black Classic Stampin'Pad

133700 Back to Black DSP

129588 Naturals White A4 Cardstock

135852 Feathers Framelits Dies

Thanks for having a look! Be on the look out for the next card!

Four Feathers - Your in my thoughts...

Hello again!

What a busy weekend it was! And what a busy week ahead!

Today's project is one of four and in the end will make a perfect gift for someone! So I am starting off my Festive projects without using one single Festive stamp! 

I used the Four Feathers stamp set ( clear, 135053) and the Back to Black DSP (133700) for inspiration! Keep in mind that all my images were Heat embossed with Clear Embossing powder (109133) by  first inking the stamp with Versamark ink ( 102283) and then the coloured ink. The sentiment was heat embossed with Black Embossing powder (109133). Don't forget to use an Embossing Buddy (103083) before you use any embossing powder - it is definitely worth the time and money!

My finished card measures 10.5cm x 10.5cm 9 (41/4" x 41/4")

The rest of my product list:

131056 A Dozen Thoughts stamp set wood

121688 Basic Black A4 Cardstock

129588 Naturals White A4 Cardstock

131171 Bermuda Bay Classic Stampin' pad

126973 Garden Green Classic Stampin' pad ( my new favourite green!)

126952 Pacific Point Classic Stampin' pad

Quick and easy!

Stay tuned for 3 more projects to complete the gift set!!

Gift Box Punch Board - Festival of Trees Pop - Out Box!

Better late than never! I used Stampin'Up!'s  fantastic NEW Gift Box Punch Board to make this pretty box. The directions are on the board, so no need to look it up! I used the directions to make the smallest box, cut off the 4 triangles (that would be used to close the box) and made a lid from a 4" x 4" square cardstock, scored at 1"on all sides, cut the fold in tabs on all 4 corners and adhered with Sticky Strip. The inside of the box was decorated  with the Festival of Trees Photopolymer Stamp set (135059). This box is perfect for a piece of jewelry! Or a party favour!
