Emboss, Emboss Inspired Mountain – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #579

11 Comments

Hello There,

Today’s tutorial is inspired by an beautiful painting by Michael Timmons titled Floral Cochineal.   What first drew me to his painting was the colors and then the layers of flourishes he used.  It inspired me so very much that I instantly wanted to sit down and see if I could create something very similar using my Stampin’ Up! products.   So here it is.  What do you think?

I titled this piece Emboss, Emboss Inspired Mountain because there is a lot of embossing in this project.  Did you know you can emboss over embossing. That’s right and the second embossing ends up behind the first.  It’s a fun technique.  One thing to know before you start a scene like this is to start with your forground and work towards your background.  Check out the complete tutorial below.

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up!  Flowering Flourishes (item number 126367) and Tiny Tags

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler

Ink: Stampin’ Up! More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso and Old Olive

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponges, Versamark Pad, Piercing Tools, Exacto knife, glass mat, Framelits – Labels Collection, Big Shot Machine, Clear embossing powder and a heat gun

Started by die cutting a Whisper White piece using the second to the largest Framelit from the Labels Collection.   Also cut the Largest one out of Old Olive card stock.

Stamped the flourish from the Flowering Flourishes set by loading my stamp with Versamark and then Cajun Craze ink before stamping it.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Stamp the stamp from the Tiny Tags set by loading with Versamark and then Old Olive ink before stamping it each time down the right side of the card stock.

 

Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Cut mountain mask out of a scrap piece of card stock using a class mat and an Exacto Knife.

Used the bottom part of the mask on the bottom of the card stock and then stamped another flourish from the Flowering Flourishes set by loading the stamp with Versamark and More Mustard ink before stamping it.  I only wanted this image to be in the sky.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Sponged More Mustard ink in the sky.

Sponged Pumpkin Pike ink in the sky.

Sponged Cajun Craze ink in the sky.

Sponged Cherry Cobbler ink in the sky.

Removed the mask and gently wiped the ink off of the embossed images.

Masked the top of the card stock and stamped the stamp from the Tiny Tags set all over the large hill by loading my stamp with Versamark and Old Olive ink before stamping it each time.

Embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Sponged Cherry Cobbler ink over the bottom of the card stock.

Sponged Early Espresso ink at the top of the hill and then sponged Basic Black ink along the masked edge to darken the outline.

Removed the mask and gently wiped the ink from the embossed images using a paper towel.

Added a Modern Label Punched from Early Espresso ink.  Cut this punch in half.

Also added a 6.5″ x 10″ Whisper White card stock base folded in half, 5″ x 6.5″ Old Olive panel, 4.75″ x 6.25″ Cherry Cobbler Panel, 4.25″ x 5″ Early Espresso panel, and the Old Olive die cut.

Pierced seven holes at the top and bottom of each side of the Cherry Cobbler panel using piercing tools.

Here is the finished card measuring 5″ x 6.5″.

Nature Walk Bird – Stampin’ Up! Tutorial #578

8 Comments

Hey There,

Don’t you just love the Stampin’ Up! set, Nature Walk?   It is in my top 5 of most loved Stampin’ Up! sets ever.   Really, bird, bee, butterfly, eggs,  and plants, LOVE IT!!!

The bird is easy to color and that makes for a quick scene and that is exactly want I did in today’s card tutorial.    I think this bird is saying “come on Spring!”  My heart is singing it also, lol.

I’ve been busy, busy, busy starting my garden seeds and making hand crafted natural soaps.  Fun stuff!  So many hobbies so little time.  I did get tickled at a comment I received on facebook.  Someone was afraid I had quite stamping since I was talking about gardening.  Boy oh boy, thank goodness I can have more than one hobby.   In actuality I have about 50 hobbies, grin.   I love paper crafting and can’t imagine living without it.  Anyone else feel that way?  Just imagine if something happened and you couldn’t paper craft, shiver. . . . .

Any how, my tutorial for today is below, enjoy!

Shadowed Hummingbird – Stampin’ Up! Card Tutorial #577

6 Comments

Hello There,

I hope you had a suburb weekend.  Mine was very laid back, just the way I like it.  🙂

In today’s tutorial I thought I would use the emboss resist technique along with the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration set, Bloomin’ Marvelous.  Remember, you can get this set for free with a $50 order.

I paired the Bloomin’ Marvelous set up with the En Francais background stamp.

I love how this card turned out.  Check out the tutorial below for instructions.

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies: Stampin’ Up!  Bloomin’ Marvelous (Sale-a-bration set) and En Francais Background Stamp

Stamps:  Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Baja Breeze, River Rock and Rich Razzelberry

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede, Rich Razzelberry, Old Olive, Island Indigo, Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and River Rock

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponge daubers, clear embossing powder, heat gun, Versmark Pad, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Baja Breeze Seam Binding, Brayer, Square Lattice Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine

Brayered Baja Breeze ink at an angle starting off of the corner of a 3″ piece of Whisper White card stock.  Brayered River Rock ink starting off the opposite corner.

Loaded the En Francais background stamp with Soft Suede ink and put the main image panel on top of it.  Layered a piece of scrap paper on top of that and rubbed the back of the scrap paper.   I find this method easier than trying to stamp straight on a piece of paper that is smaller than my stamp.

Dryed my card stock using my heat gun and the stamped the flower 3 times on the lower right corner and the hummingbird using Versamark Pad for ink.  Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

Sponged Island Indigo ink over the hummingbird and Pretty in Pink in over the flowers using sponge daubers.  Sponged Rich Razzelberry ink in the center of the flowers.

Stamped the leaves in the lower right corner using Old Olive ink and then wiped the ink off of the embossed images.

Sponged Rich Razzelberry ink around the edges of the card stock.

Cut a 5.25″ x 4″ piece of River Rock card stock and stamped the En Francais back ground stamp on it using Soft Suede ink.

Embossed the card stock using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and Big Shot Machine.

Added 2 Rich Razzelberry Panels,Baja Breeze panel, Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon and a Whisper White card base.  Popped my main image panel up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Here is the completed card measuring 4.25″ x 5.5″.

May you find peace in your soul today.

Until my next post. . . . . .

Happy Friday!!!

Is it bad to constantly look forward to the weekend?   I just can’t seem to get excited about Monday-Thursday. . . . . . . .

Anyway, I made this snowy miniature scene today for you.  It’s using an unexpected stamp set, at least for this time of year, Stampin’ Up! Spooky Bingo Bits set.  I created a shadow in the snow using the reverse image technique.  Also added some texture and color spritz to create the background panel.   Check out my tutorial for this creation below.

Project Supplies: Stampin’ Up!  Spooky Bingo Bits (item# 123946)

Stamps:  Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Midnight Muse and Baja Breeze DSP

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Baja Breeze, Island Indigo and Midnight Muse

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponges, clear embossing powder, heat gun, Versmark Pad, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Spritzer, Island Indigo marker, Blender Pen, Baja Breeze Ribbon, Delicate Details Lace Tape, stamp-a-ma-jig plastic sheet, Design Frame Embossing Folder, Argyle Embossing Folder, post it note and silver brads

Stamped the tree at the top of a 1.5″ x 2 1/8″ piece of Whisper White card stock using Versamark.  Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder.  I am protecting the image.

Ripped a post it note and masked for the snow.  Sponged Baja Breeze, Island Indigo and Midnight Muse in for the sky.

 

Removed the post it note mask and stamped the tree on the slick side of my Stamp-a-ma-jig plastic sheet with Baja Breeze ink and then turned the plastic sheet over and lined up the shadow with the base of the white tree.   Rubbed the back of the plastic to transfer the image to the card stock.   If you want the image a bit darker, darken it with a blender pen and Baja Breeze ink.

Sponged Baja Breeze ink at the bottom of the card stock and then sponged Midnight Muse ink  around the edges.

Embossed the frame image on a piece of Island Indigo card stock with the Big shot Machine and then cut it out and sponged Midnight Muse ink around the frame edges.

Cut a  4″ x 5.25″ piece of Whisper White and then used the Stampin’ Color Spritzer and a Island Indigo marker to spritz dots on the card stock.  Sponged Island Indigo ink around the edges.

Cut a 3.25″ piece of Midnight Muse card stock and then embossed that piece and the Whisper White spritzed piece using the Argyle embossing folder and the Big Shot machine.   Also cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of Midnight Muse card stock and a Whisper White card base.

Cut a 1.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Baja Breeze DSP and added a strip of the Delicate Details Lace tape.  Love that lace tape!

Assembled my card added silver brads, Baja Breeze ribbon and a Whisper White panel underneath my frame.

Have a terrific weekend!

Just Swinging – Tutorial #574

9 Comments

Hi There,

The ground is covered with snow here in West Alexandria, Ohio and I have gotten the itch to dig in the dirt.   Spring cannot get here fast enough for me.  It’s the gardener in me that just wants to get her hands dirty.   But, since I cannot dig in the frozen ground I lassoed my husband in to helping me with my seed starting project.

I usually start my vegetable seeds for my garden by window light but my plants sometimes get leggy so we put this adjustable light stand together last night from scratch.  It’s made out of PVC pipe and it was so simple to assemble.   Here is a link to the blog that I got the instructions from:  http://nogginsandnonsense.blogspot.com/2011/03/ready-set-go-garden-go.html

I just thought I would pass this info along to my gardening friends.  This stand is economical and rocks!

About what you really come to my blog for. . . . .I created a tutorial for you today using the Stampin’ Up! set Forever Young.  Oh, to be young and just hang out on a swing.   Don’t you miss those days?   Why did we ever want to grow up?

I brayered my sky in at an angle on this scene to create this lovely light effect.   Check out my tutorial for this project below.

Stampin’ Up! Owl Card – Tutorial #566

10 Comments

Hello There,

The chill is in the air here in Ohio for sure.  We are suppose to see single digit temps in the next few days, burrrrrrrr.   This card should warm someone up though, at least their heart, right?

I made 30 of these and the Stampin’ Up! owl punch made quick work of it.   One thing about the owl punch that I don’t show here is that you can really customize your owl.  I’ve seen the owls created with designer paper and they are super cute.  I’m sure there are so many combinations of colors and DSP that you would never get tired of using this little guy.

Winner will be selected on Saturday, January 19, 2013.

********************************************

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stampin’ Up! Stamps: Take Care (item #126312) and Netting background stamp (item#122655)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade and Cajun Craze

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponges, ruler, Stampin’ Up! Owl Builder Punch (item #118074), Piercing tools, Soft Suede and Basic Black markers

 

Punched the pieces for the owl using the Owl Builder punch.  As you see I am making many of these cards today.   I punched the large circle for the eye and the chest piece using Whisper White card stock, the owl in both Cajun Craze and Lucky Limeade, the medium circle using Basic Black card stock and the heart using Cherry Cobbler card stock.

I wanted a design on the chest piece so I inked up my Netting background stamp and put the chest pieces on it and then put a piece of scrap paper over the stamp and rubbed gentle.   I did half of the pieces using Cajun Craze ink and half of them with Lucky Limeade ink.   I then sponged the edges with the same color they were stamp in.

For the sky, I used the direct to paper technique and quickly smeared the ink with the ink pad directly on the card stock.   The card stock is 3.5″ x 4.5″ Whisper White.  Every background you do with this method will look different.

Stamped the limb using Basic Black ink.

Using a ruler I added the swing seat using a Soft Suede Marker.  I drew it to be 2.75″ wide.

Removed the ruler and made the swing seat a bit thicker with the marker.

 

added the swing ropes using a ruler and a Basic Black marker.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edge of the card stock and assembled the owls and adhered them to the card stock.  I tilted the owl on the right so it looks like it is snuggling up with the one on the left.

Added a 3.75″ x 5.25″ piece of Old Olive card stock and then pierced the right and left side of the Old Olive panel.

Added a Tempting Turquoise card base measuring 8.5″ x 5.5″ folded in half.

Here is the finished card.

May your day be spent with someone you love.

Rooster Crows – Tutorial #563

8 Comments

Hello There,

I have chickens on my mind today.  My hens are laying like crazy, keeping Russ and I in fresh eggs, yummy.  We have hens, no roosters.  Did you know you don’t need a rooster for your hens to lay?  Alot of people don’t realize that.    You only need a rooster if you want fertilized eggs.   Boy you never know what you are going to learn on my blog, lol.

A rooster is appropriate for this scene though.  Can’t you just hear him crowing in the early morning.   There is a rooster a farm over from us and when we sit out on the deck in the morning we can hear him.  I love the sound in the distance.

Today’s tutorial features a new Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog Embossing folder, Honeycomb.  When I first layed eyes on it I decided it would be great to use for chicken wire on cards.  What do you think?    Talk about texture in your card this embossing folder really embosses deep.

I also snuck a sneak peep in this card for you from our up coming Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Catalog that will be active starting January 22, 2013.  It’s the little hello stamp from the Pretty Petites stamp set and coordinating Petite Curly Label Punch.   It really layers well with the Curly Label punch.    The sale-a-bration items will be free with a $50 order starting January 22nd.   So stay tuned for those.

Project Supplies:

Stampin’ Up! Stamps: A Fitting Occasion (item number 127049) and Pretty Petites (Sale-a-bration set coming soon)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, Basic Black and Old Olive

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Old Olive

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Sponges, Honeycomb embossing folder (item#129378), Big Shot Machine, 2.5″ Circle Punch, 1″ Circle Punch, Curly Label Punch, Petite Curly Label Punch, Silver Marker, Basic Black marker, Silver Brads, post it notes and Old Olive Dotted Ribbon

Punched a 2.5″ Circle from Whisper White card stock.

Punched a 1″ circle from the sticky part of a post it note and used it as a mask for the sun.

Sponged More Mustard ink all over the card stock.

 

Used a post it note to mask for the rays and sponged with Cajun Craze ink along the edge of the post it note to create them.  Moved the post it note for each ray.

 

After all the rays were put in I sponged Cajun Craze ink around the edge of the 1″ circle mask.

Removed the circle and sponged More Mustard ink in the sun.

Sponged Old Olive ink at the bottom of the circle to create a grassy area.

Stamped the rooster with Basic Black ink.  It is easier to stamp the rooster before you put the fence in.

Add a crude fence using a Basic Black marker.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the edge of the card stock.

Cut a 4″ x 5.25″ and 3″ x 4.75″ Basic Black panels and punched a Basic Black Curly Label punch.  Edge each one with the Stampin’ Up! Silver Marker.  The silver makes the edges look like they are recessed.

Run the Panels through the Big Shot using the Honeycomb embossing Folder.

Added the main image panel, Old Olive ribbon, Curly Label Punch, Sentiment punched out with Petite Curly Label punch and Silver Brads.

Added an Old Olive card base and popped the small panel up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
