Amazing Mum With Springtime Foils For Remarkably Created Blog Hop

Anna’ Stampin’ Cave -Amazing Mum Card With Springtime Foils For Remarkably Created Blog Hop.

Today I’m participating in an International Remarkably Created Blog Hop to celebrate National Craft Month in America. If you arrived here from Ellen Vargo, a big welcome to you! You are currently visiting Anna Krol from the United Kingdom. Further down you will find a list of all participants for you to continue your journey through this hop. We hope you will find lots of great inspiration from our projects.

For my today’s project, I decided to create a clean & simple, and very feminine card for Mother’s Day. I know in many countries it’s still months away but in the UK they are celebrating Mother’s Day very soon – on 11th March.

Here’s my card:

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

This is very easy and straightforward Fun Fold Split Card. You can check all the measurements below.

Amazing Mum card dimensions:

  • Powder Pink cardstock: 8-3/4″ x 4″ scored at 5-7/8″ (22.2 cm x 10.2 cm scored at 14.8 cm) + 1-1/2″ x 4″ (3.8 cm x 10.2 cm)
  • Whisper White cardstock: 5-5/8″ x 3-7/8″ (14.4 cm x 9.9 cm) + 2-3/4″ x 3-7/8″ (6.9 cm x 9.9 cm) + 1-3/8″ x 3-7/8″ (3.4 cm x 9.9 cm)
  • a piece of Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper for die-cutting
  • a piece of Powder Pink cardstock for die-cutting

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

To create a focal point for my card I die-cut a circle of Springtime Foils Specialty DSP. There are four different foiled designs and for my card, I chose this beautiful rose gold floral with tiny gold dots.

This is a new product from Sale-a-bration 2nd Release and you can earn it free with qualifying order. More details here.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!I die-cut it using a 2nd largest circle die from Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. Next, I die-cut slightly larger scalloped circle from a piece of Powder Pink cardstock and adhered DSP on top using liquid Tombow glue.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

For the inside panel, I stamped the ‘burst’ image from Amazing You Stamp Set in Powder Pink ink. I placed it behind the focal point so you can’t see it when the card is closed. The sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink.

Anna' Stampin' Cave - Mother's Day Fun Fold Split Card using Amazing You Stamp Set, Apron of Love Stamp Set & Springtime Foils Specialty DSP from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment on the front of the card says ‘amazing mum’. The word ‘amazing’ come from the same ‘Amazing You Stamp Set. I stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed in gold. Next, I stamped ‘Mum’ from Apron of Love Stamp Set, and also heat embossed it in gold.

For The Love of Creating Blog Hop

Anna’ Stampin’ Cave – For The Love of Creating – Beautiful Day Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to our very first For the Love of Creating with Stampin’ Up! Blog Hop run by the amazing Australian demonstrator, Kim Oliver. We are super excited to share with you an array of creations showcasing products from 2018 Occasions (Spring-Summer in the UK) catalogue and Sale-A-Bration freebies too. We hope you find great inspiration from our projects. If you have arrived here from Jay Soriano a big welcome to you. You are currently visiting Anna Krol from the United Kingdom.

I really want to encourage you to hop along with us – you are in for a real treat, as we are demonstrators from all over the world. Below is a list of all designers, but you can also use the NEXT  button further down to continue your journey on this blog hop.

For my projects today I decided to showcase beautiful stamp set called (not mistakenly) Beautiful Day. I will show you how to achieve stained glass effect using two different mediums.

Stained Glass Effect With Brusho –

I love these bold images with its stained glass look – perfect for techniques and colouring. And that’s exactly what I did.

I stamped the flower and the butterfly on a piece of watercolour paper in Versamark and heat embossed them in white. Next, I filled them in with water and sprinkled Brusho Crystal Colour over the top.

Heat embossing creates a barrier for the water and colour, so you can easily control how the colour spread. I’ve also used the aqua painter to move the colour around.

For the flower, I’ve used Brilliant Red, Gamboge and Moss Green for the leaf. The butterfly is a mix of my favourite Prussian Blue and Moss Green.

Once the flower and butterfly were dry I fussy cut them. To add that stained glass look, I smooshed Versamark on top of both images, sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set it.

I love this rough texture of watercolour paper!

I kept the rest of design very clean. I sprinkled some brusho on Whisper White panels and spritzed with water (very, very lightly) before assembling my cards.

The edges of both card bases are stamped with three tiny flowers from the same stamp set, and I’ve used Versamark ink. Sentiments are stamped in Archival Basic Black ink. Few pearls finish off the look. I love these vibrant colours.


Stained Glass Effect With Stampin’ Blends –

First, I stamped both images onto two pieces of vellum using Versamark ink and heat embossed them in gold.

Next, I  colour on the back of te vellum with Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as follows:

  • flower – Pink Pirouette, Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive
  • butterfly – Pool Party, Night of Navy & Old Olive

I even used Stampin’ Blends to dye Whisper White Organza Ribbon so it coordinates with my bookmarks – so much easier and quicker than using reinkers!

I fussy cut my images.

I die-cut four labels using Lots of Labels Framelits dies – two in Very Vanilla, one in Pink Pirouette and one in Night of Navy so they would coordinate with colours on the images. I die cut the Very Vanilla pieces slightly shorter.

I stamped, repeatedly. greeting from You’ve Got This Stamp Set (without re-inking) on my Very Vanilla pieces: For the butterfly bookmark using Old Olive ink pad; and for the flower bookmark in Rich Razzleberry.

I assembled my bookmarks and adhered butterfly and the flower in the middle using Fast Fuse.

Hope you like my little showcase and that you give the stained glass technique a go.

Today Is All About You Card Using Beautiful Peacock Stamp Set

Anna’ Stampin’ Cave – Today Is All About You Card Using Beautiful Peacock Stamp Set

Hello and thanks for stopping by today!

Today I’ve got for you lovely card using Beautiful Peacock Stamp Set. Did you know that during Sale-A-Bration you can earn this stamp set (and many other goodies) for FREE?! You can check all the details HERE –>

Today Is All About You card dimensions:

  • Night Of Navy cardstock: 11-6/8″ x 4-1/8″ scored in half at 5-7/8″ (29.7 x 10.5 cm scored in half at 14.8 cm)
  • Whisper White cardstock two panels: 5-1/2″ x 3-7/8″ (14.1 cm x 9.9 cm)
  • Pool Party cardstock: 2-7/8″ x 2-7/8″ (7.3 cm x 7.3 cm)
  • Whisper White cardstock piece for the stamping

Night of Navy and Melon Mambo (together with Cherry Cobbler) are the colours I use and like the least, from Stampin’ Up! colour families but it’s good to challenge yourself once in a while to do something differently. And this unusual for me colour combination comes from The Color Throwdown Challenge #475.

This card was pretty easy to put together. First, I prepared my base by cutting and scoring a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Next, I stamped Watercolor Wash background stamp on one of my Whisper White panels in Night of Navy ink.

Tip: To get good, even stamped image with large background stamps use paper to stamp technique. Just put your stamp on your work surface, image facing up, ink it well, and press your cardstock to the inked image, face down. Use some scratch paper to rub over the top. Make sure you apply pressure around the corners too, so that it’s even. When it’s done just lift your cardstock. Perfectly stamped background every each time.

It’s especially helpful technique if you suffer some medical conditions, like arthritis or like me – I lost the feeling sensations in my arms and hands three years ago, after one of the MS relapses, and since it’s really for me to hold anything heavy. Or even ultimately heavy. This technique is a real …umm… ‘craft-saver’?! haha, you know what I mean.

Once I had my background out of the way I stamped the peacock in Night of Navy, Melon Mambo and Pool Party, on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I’ve used Stamp-a-ma-jig to help line-up all the images. Next. I die-cut the image using the largest square from Stitched Shaped Framelits Dies (2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″ [6.6 cm x 6.6 cm]) and stamped my sentiment in Night of Navy.

I also stamped the body of the peacock separately, fussy cut it and added to the image with dimensionals. To jazz-it-up, I’ve added lots of shimmer with Clear Wink of Stella to this little guy. Three little pearls finish off the card.

I hope you like my little card. If you wish to purchase any of products I have used, simply click the images below to go directly to my online store and don’t forget to enter the hostess code for the month of January GK3G3AR3 to receive a gift from me.
