Woodware Birthday Grid

By
I've been creating with Jane Gill's Woodware Birthday Grid stamp set.  Started by stamping and embossing the sentiment grid then with some scrunched up cling film I lightly dabbed some pearl effects around the edges, once dry blended three colours of distress inks to create my speckled background.  Both the embossed sentiments and pearl effects act as a resist and buff up to a lovely shine once the inks are dry.


The stamp set comes with elements that can fit inside or around the sentiment grid design.  I chose the cupcake and gift both coloured with promarkers, fussy cut, shaped and adhered with silicone glue.  Added glossy accents on the cherry & decorations.  This is only the second card I've made using this stamp set, the first one you can see here, both totally different.


I've used - A6 top fold white card base
Woodware Birthday Grid stamp set
Olympia green Versafine ink, clear EP
Dovecraft 3D pearl effects
Distress Inks -peacock feathers, shaded lilac, dusty concord
Promarkers - lime green, pumpkin, plum & blush
Glossy Accents

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP.
