Stampin' Up Thoughtful Journey Sympathy Card

 

Hi blogging friends,

I needed to make another Sympathy Card - this time for a friend whose Dad suddenly passed away:

  

I seem to have needed quite a few Sympathy Cards recently.  My husband and I are of the age where our friends have elderly parents so I have made a couple of extras for my stash.  I always think that a handmade Sympathy Card is so much nicer than a bought one - and I especially like to be able to write my own message appropriate to the recipient's circumstances taking into account whether they are religious or not.  Some of the messages on the inside of bought cards makes me cringe!

I kept things very simple as you don't need to add much to the beautiful Stampin' Up Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.  I stamped the foliage on the LHS with Stampin' Up Mossy Meadow Ink three times using one of the stamps from the Darkroom Door Nature Walk Stamp set.  I used my Stamping Platform for all the stamping for perfect placement and in case I needed to re-stamp.

The sentiment is from an old sentiment set by Stamp-It Australia released in 2008 and was also stamped using Mossy Meadow Ink.  This sentiment set is one that I have used countless times over the years.  Stamp-It Australia no longer make stamps for cardmaking.  I think someone was going to take over that side of the business some time ago now but the sale fell through which is such a shame. 

I layered the image panel onto Anko Cream Cardstock then Stampin' Up Mossy Meadow.  I trimmed the panels to 1/16" and 1/8" respectively using my WRMK Perfect Layers Guides.

As a final touch, I added a single Basic Grey Green Rhinestone next to the sentiment.  I added a tiny dot of Art Glitter Glue under the rhinestone to make sure the rhinestone stayed put.   I thought the rhinestone finished the card nicely.

Once I had finished my card front, I glued it to a Kaisercraft White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

Finished size is 4-1/8" x 6" or 105mm x 150mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamperia The Owl's House Christmas Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a Christmas Card that I made using some gorgeous papers by Stamperia - The Owl's House:

Challenges:

This is also my card for the following Challenge -

• Allsorts - #836 - Christmas or Anything Goes

No stamping on this card - just layering papers and some diecutting.

The main image was trimmed from the 8" x 8" paper pad then layered onto White Cardstock. 

The snowflake side border as well as the woodgrain paper on the card base are also from The Owl's House collection.

The Snowflakes were diecut from Silver Glitter Cardstock using my Big Shot and Impression Obsession Small Snowflake Set.  This is another set that I have had for years and one of my favourites.  I glued down the centres so I could bend up the snowflake arms for a bit of dimension, then added a Kaisercraft Silver Rhinestone to the centres.

The Silver and White Twine is from KMart (Australia) and came in a set but is no longer on their website.

Finishing touches were adding Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush to lots of areas on the card including the flames in the fireplace.  Shame it isn't visible in the photo - but it looks so pretty in real life.

Finished size is 4-15/16" x 4-15/16" or 125mm x 125mm.

Stampin' Up Perennial Lavender Pocket Cards

 

Hi blogging friends 😀

Today I am sharing some Pocket Cards using Stampin' Up's Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.  I followed a tutorial by Patti Dolan from You-Tube which you can see here:

I changed the measurements to suit Australian-sized cards.

I made a bunch of cards for my stash but gave one to my sister-in-law as a Get Well Card.  It is always good to have some cards on hand with a neutral sentiment that can be used for a variety of occasions which is why I just used the "Hello" sentiment on all my cards.

The first card uses Pretty Peacock Cardstock which I think looks gorgeous with the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper:

The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up Simply Said Mix and Match set which is still current in the catalogue.  This is a great little set to add to your stash as it has a variety of sentiments and styles of fonts.

I stamped it onto white cardstock using Versamagic Ocean Depth Ink as it was the only ink that I had that matched.  Ideally, I would have liked to use Stampin' Up Pretty Peacock Ink but I haven't added that ink to my stash yet.  I diecut the circle using my Big Shot and a Lifestyle Nesting Circle Die.  I then layered that onto Pretty Peacock Cardstock that I diecut using a Spotlight on Nature Circle Die, then popped it up on dimensionals.  These Spotlight on Nature Dies are a great set to get because it has a 12 different decorative circle dies.

The floral insert is removable and here is a photo of the card with the insert removed:

And here is a photo of the insert:

The diecut butterflies are from a recently retired Stampin' Up Set called Sketched Butterflies.  I used some Metallic Teal Thick Paper which I bought from KMart (Australia) but I can't see it on their website anymore.  It came in a pad that has lots of different colours and is really good quality.  I glued just the body of the butterflies down so I could bend the wings up.

When you open up the floral designer paper, you can see that I added some white cardstock so I could write my message:

Now, here is another colourway:

I used the same Perennial Lavender Designer Paper.  The sentiment was stamped using Versacolor Violet Pigment Ink and I used a different Stampin' Up Spotlight on Nature Circle Die to diecut the Purple Cardstock.  The butterflies were diecut from White Glitter Cardstock.

Here are 2 photos of the insert:

And here is another colourway:

I, again, used the Perennial Lavender Designer Paper.  The sentiment was stamped using Versacolor Violet Pigment Ink.  The butterflies were diecut using Mauve Glitter Cardstock.  They look a bit more pink in the photo for some reason.

It was really fun to sit down and make a bunch of these cards so I could get to understand how this different fun-fold works.  I do struggle with cards that are different to the norm so if I make a few of them, it makes it easier for me to understand them - especially if I want to make them again in the future.  I ended up making 6 cards so it will good to have them on hand for all the family birthdays that happen just after Christmas when I find it harder to be creative 'cos I am soooooo tired from all the festivities.

Impression Obsession Halloween Hill Mixed Media Card

Hi everyone 😊

Today I am sharing a Halloween Card:

ETA:  I just learned that I made the top 3 over at Craftycatz!  Woo hoo!

I really enjoy making Halloween Cards because it gives me the perfect excuse to play with inky backgrounds to create atmosphere for that type of card.

This is also my card for the following Challenges:

• Crafty Catz Challenge #703 - Anything Goes with Optional Twist of Halloween

• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #766 - Halloween/Anything Goes

I love to blend inks on Bristol Smooth White Cardstock because they just blend like a dream.  First up, I created a mask for the moon from Mylar Film by diecutting a circle from it.  Mylar Film is what some stencils are made from and I bought a pack of sheets on EBay.  You can buy different weights and the one I bought was 190 micron.  I attached it to my cardstock using Repositionable Adhesive.  The good thing about the Mylar Film is that you can wipe off the ink and reuse it.   

The Ranger Distress Inks that I used are:  Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Seedless Preserves, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot - making sure that the RHS was lighter where the moon was.  I removed the mask and used a Tim Holtz Layering Moon Mask and Hickory Smoke Ink to add some detail on the moon - then inked over it very lightly with Mustard Seed Ink.  I used my Heat-Gun to dry off the panel.

The back diecut is an old die by Impression Obsession called Halloween Hill.  I have had this die for many years and it has always been a favourite of mine.  I used Anko Black Cardstock which I bought in a pad of neutral tones from KMart (Australia).  I inked up some scrap white cardstock with Mustard Seed and added that to the windows of the house - then used Wild Honey for the pumpkin face. 

The front diecut is by Memory Box - Graveyard Landscape which dates back to 2012.  I popped the diecut up on several layers of scrap black cardstock so that it gave the illusion of depth.

The white ghosts are another die by Memory Box - Ghastly Ghosts - from 2013.  It's a really fun die because it diecuts 5 different sized ghosts.

The sentiment is by Hero Arts - Happy Halloween - and is from 2012.  I stamped it using Versamark Watermark Ink and heat-set it using Stampin' Up White Embossing Powder.  I used a Powder Tool on the Black Cardstock before stamping so that I didn't get any stray dots of embossing powder.  I popped the sentiment up on Stampin' Up Black Dimensionals.  These black dimensionals are so handy for adding underneath dark cardstock.  I added a tiny self-adhesive Pale Orange Molossi Rhinestone either side of the sentiment but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue to the rhinestone because this pack is old and the glue dot isn't all that sticky.

To add more atmosphere to my card, I used some White Cobweb to the sky and gravestones adding tiny dots here and there with my Art Glitter Glue to stick it down.  This glue dries clear so is perfect for when you use it for something that would otherwise be glaringly obvious!  I bought the White Cobweb from my local supermarket.

I used a White Pastel Pencil to add some white highlights to the bottom of the moon and on the black diecuts.

As final touches, I added some sparkle to the pumpkin, house and moon using a Uniquely Creative Clear Sparkle Brush, adding several layers for extra-sparkle.

I layered the scene onto Colormates Dark Terracotta Cardstock then onto Anko Black Cardstock - then glued my card front onto a Kaisercraft White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

Finished size is 5-5/16" x 4-1/4" or 151mm x 108mm

Hope you like my card!  I had so much fun creating it 😀

Sympathy Card using Porta Craft Embossing Folder

 

Hi everyone,

My SIL's Mum passed away aged 95 so I have been working on several Sympathy Cards to pass on to family members:

It's a very simple card but it's amazing how long it can take to come up with something that is understated and unfussy!

This is also my card for the following Challenges (click on the underlined link to take you to the Challenge Blog):

• Neglected Stuff Challenge - 10/25 - which is all about using your neglected supplies - mine is the embossing folder, stamp set and heart punch

I found a rectangular embossing folder in my stash that had a border around it so thought that I could turn it on its side so that I could have some white space on the bottom and top of my card.  I have had this Porta Craft Embossing Folder for ages and probably picked it up from a Craft Show here in Australia.

I used a Stamping Platform to stamp the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black.  This sentiment is from an old set by Wendy Irving and is one of my first ever clear stamp sets and dates back to at least 2010.

I punched a heart using a very old Carl Heart Duo Punch.  This punch pre-dates dies!  I added some Designer Dries Clear glue to the heart and added some Opal Glitter which has a very soft and gentle sparkle to it which I thought was appropriate for a Sympathy Card.

This panel has had the RHS corners punched using a We R Memory Keepers 1/2" Corner Chomper.  I added the 3/8" wide White Organza Ribbon in two separate elements - and the bow itself was made using a Bow Easy.  I added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying.

I glued the panel to my card base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue that has also had the RHS corners punched with the same Corner Chomper.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Stampin' Up Love and Sympathy Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a couple of Sympathy Cards that I made:

I ink-blended the retired Stampin' Up ink colour - Soft Sky - onto Knight White Cardstock using a Blending Brush.  I wanted the ink to fade from blue at the bottom to white which is easier to achieve using a soft bristle brush.  I bought a bunch of them really cheap on Amazon and they work brilliantly.  

I punched the two bottom corners using a We R Memory Keepers 1/2" Corner Chomper.

The white rose is a two part die by Frantic Stamper called Long Stemmed Rose which I have had forever.  I just checked their website and it is still available so if you want one, you need to get in quick because Frantic Stamper are closing very soon due to Fran retiring.  I glued the top layer to the bottom layer using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive which has a very fine tip on it so it made it easier for putting tiny amounts of glue where it was needed.  Isn't this rose gorgeous?!!

The sentiment is by Stampin' Up - Love and Sympathy - which is a retired set.  I used a Powder Tool on my white cardstock then stamped it using Versamark Watermark Ink and heat-set it using Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder.  I didn't want to use gold or silver embossing powder because I wanted something more subtle and the Liquid Platinum was perfect for what I needed.

I diecut the sentiment using an Oval Die from the Nellie's Multi Frames Oval 4 set then glued it on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

The ribbon is from my stash and is 1/4" wide and was tied using my Bow Easy.  I glued it on using Helmar's Fabric Glue then added Fray Stop to the cut ends to stop them from fraying.  I had to add a tiny glue dot to each tail to hold them down as they wanted to stick up and look weird.

I attached the panel to my White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue then punched the two bottom corners using my Corner Chomper.

Lastly, I added 3 x Kaisercraft Pearls in the colour Bliss.

And now, here is the Pink version:

The main differences are: 

I used Ranger Distress Oxide Inks for the ink blending in the colours Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry.  The ribbon is 1/4" wide Pink Organza - and the tiny Pink Pearls are by Prima.

I had to take this picture indoors as it was too windy and my card would likely end up in the neighbour's swimming pool - so it isn't quite as bright as it should be.

So, which colour do you prefer?  I thought that I might make another one but use a really light purple.  I think it is wise to have a few Sympathy Cards on-hand because I always seem to lose my creativity spark when I need one in a hurry.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and for any comments you care to leave.

Stampin' Up Sketched Butterflies Thank You Card

 

Hi blogging friends,

Today I am sharing a Thank You Card for a nurse who works at my local GP clinic:

This is also my card for the following Challenges - click on the underlined link to take you to the Challenge:

• Allsorts Challenge Blog - #830 - I Spy Something Beginning with B or Anything Goes if you find the former too complicated

• Can You Handle the Pressure (Dry/Heat Embossing) Challenge - Anything Goes with Optional Twist of Balloons

I pulled out a recent purchase from Stampin' Up:  Sketched Butterflies - but just used the accompanying Sketched Butterflies Dies on my card.  This bundle was on the Last Chance List but is no longer available.  My Stampin' Up Demonstrator - Rachel - did a class back in March using this bundle and I just loved them and couldn't add them to my cart quick enough when I got home after class 😀  Just as well that I did because they disappeared a week or so later!

To make my card:  I watered down some Ranger Distress Inks in the colours Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade and Evergreen Bough then added some white paint from a White Posca Pen to the colours to make pastel shades - then used a paintbrush to paint them onto 300gsm/140lb Watercolour Paper.  I made sure I had plenty of variation in the tones.  I then diecut the butterflies using the 2 different butterflies - one is the base and the top is the detailed die.

I wanted to add a bit more life to the butterflies so splattered on the same ink colours but in full strength as well as some White Posca Pen, then some watered down JoSonja Pale Gold Acrylic Gouache Paint.  To add some subtle sparkle, I coloured the top butterflies with a Uniquely Creative Clear Glitter Brush - alas not picked up by the camera.  I only glued down the centre of the top detailed butterfly so I could bend up the wings for dimension.  I added some tiny matching Self-Adhesive Rhinestones to the butterfly centres.  Even though the rhinestones are self-adhesive, I added a tiny dot of Designer Dries Clear Art Glitter Glue fitted with a fine tip to make sure they didn't fall off or move.  I have learned from past experience that they just don't stay put - the glue dot just isn't strong enough especially when alot of my rhinestones are quite old and seem to have lost a bit of their stickiness over that time.

 

The dry embossing is a Stampin' Up embossing folder called Eyelet.  It is a 3D folder so I sprayed the white cardstock with water using my Ranger Mister so it wouldn't crack when I put it through my Big Shot.  Isn't this embossing folder gorgeous?!  It is still current so go grab one!

I used a 3/8" WRMK Corner Chomper to punch the two bottom corners of the embossed panel then glue the panel to a Uniquely Creative White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.  I punched the two bottom corners of the card base using a 1/2" Corner Chomper.

I had so much trouble with the sentiment.  I seemed to spend hours messing it up.  First, the scrap of white cardstock that I stamped it on was lousy quality and when I heat-embossed it, it turned out really flat.  So I tried better quality and it turned out fine - but because I was originally using a two part sentiment, I kept stamping the 2nd one crooked despite using a Stamping Platform.  When I finally got it right, I used an oval die to diecut it and messed up the diecutting several times.  In the end, I figured I should just use a different sentiment.  I don't know why I didn't just do that before I messed up countless times - but sometimes you just don't know till you are at the point of giving up - however, I find it hard to give up on something because I am always so determined, sometimes to a fault 😏

So, I used a sentiment which is from a free stamp set that came with a UK Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine ages ago and it worked out perfectly first time around.  I stamped it using Versamark Watermark Ink and heat-embossed it with Ranger Superfine Detail Gold Embossing Powder.  I used a Powder Tool before stamping to take care of any stray embossing powder.

I diecut the sentiment using a Lifestyle Nesting Rectangle Die then cut an angle on the RHS.  I layered the sentiment onto diecut Kaisercraft Gold Foil Paper and adjusted it to the right and down which added a tiny border.  I popped the sentiment up on Kaisercraft Double-sided Foam Pads but added a little bit of Tombow Mono Multi Glue to add a bit of extra adhesion to the dry embossing.

Lastly, I bent up the wings which you can see in this photo:

I decorated the card inside later on but it was too late to photograph it as the sun was setting and it was dreary.  It's always hard to photograph cards in Winter let alone later in the day - plus I wanted to write in the card and have it sitting on my handbag for giving to the nurse first thing tomorrow so I didn't forget to take it to my appointment with her.  They have forecast a ton of rain here tomorrow so I figured that I was unlikely to be able to photograph it in the morning and was also worried that I might forget it altogether!

The great thing about the card is that you could use it for many different occasions just by changing the sentiment.

Finished size is 105mm x 148mm which is a standard A6 card in Australia - or 4-1/8" x 5-13/16" if you go by imperial measurements.
