More Shaded Summer Cards

 

I really love this Stamp set and the sentiments that go with it. I used 3/4 inch strips of You’re A Peach DSP for the background in the first card. I used the Stamparatus and my Stampin’ Write Markers to stamp the flower. I stamped and heat embossed the small leaf on to the Vellum

 The colours here include Melon Mambo, Polished Pink, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. The Scalloped Contour Dies are from The Color and Contour Die Bundle.The Sentiment is from Art Gallery.

I used the same technique in the third card with Granny Apple Green, Shaded spruce, Highland Heather and Blackberry  Bliss ink pads. The Rectangles were die cut using The Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The background was embossed using The Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder from The Annual catalogue.

Stamping Technique with Shaded Summer Stamp Set.

I was inspired to try this technique by a Youtube Video that I watched by Alisa Tilsner who is a Stampin Up Demonstrator. It is really easy with The Stamparatus. You place the Card-stock in the left hand corner and ink up the stamp with The White Craft Ink. You then move the Card-stock 1/16 of an inch to the right and then stamp over the image with ink that tones with the background Card-stock. In the first card I used Melon Mambo. The hinge of the Stamparatus was on the left hand side.

The background Card-stock in the second card is Polished Pink. I used some Expressions Of Ink DSP for the background. I love our White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. The sentiment is from the Shaded Summer Stamp Set.

The third card is in Just Jade with more of the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. The background DSP is from the Hostess Pack in The Annual catalogue. I added some Pearl Basic Jewels as an embellishment.

 

One Sheet Wonder with “Nothing’s Better Than” stamp set.

I really enjoyed doing a One Sheet Wonder with the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue. You can view my YouTube Video HERE - https://youtu.be/dxesthc2ohM I  used the retired Classic Label Punch for the sentiments in the first card. I adhered the Basic White Cardstock to an Early Espresso Mat and a Coastal Cabana Card Base.

The second card has a Petal Pink card base and an Early Espresso mat.

The third card focuses on chocolate!

I used the Give it a Whirl Dies for the next card with a Blushing Bride card base and the Love You Always Speciality Designer Series Paper.

The layers in the next card are Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Gorgeous Grape and then the stamped images on Basic White.

Lastly we have Pool party with Early Espresso.

Fun Fold Cards with Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper.

I love fun fold cards so when I saw one made by Songbird Stamper using the Expressions in Ink Suite I knew that I wanted to case it using different Designer Series Paper. I chose Hydrangea Hil as I love the colour combination. I paired it up with the Birds and Branches Bundle which I have not used in a while. The sentiment is from Lovely You.

the second card is the same fold but with different dimensions. I used the Suite Sampler Hostess Stamp Set from the January to June Mini Catalogue. I embellished it with two butterflies cut out using the Brilliant Wings Dies. The colour combo is Petal Pink with Rococo Rose.

The third card is 6x6 when flat. I used a Purple Posy Card Base with some Highland Heather for contrast.I punched out the sentiment using the Lovely Labels Punch.
