A Little Note To Say - A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set

Good Morning

Alice here, hope you are all well and ready for another Monday morning!

A week or so ago, I found a new technique to make a wreath.  You can make your own Build a Wreath template by following tutorials on You Tube.  I knew this technique would work well with the Colourific A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set.  You can find this stamp set, and many more super stamps  by looking on the Colourific Website here

Materials Used:

A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set

A6 Camper Van Stamp Set

A6 Border and Stamp Stamp Set

6 x 6 White Card

5.5 x 5.5 White Mat

5.5 x 5.5 Green spotty mat

5 x 5 White Mat

Butterfly Die

Various coloured inks

• Inked the largest mat with sage green ink and the smaller one with lilac ink.  
• Used my stamping platform and my homemade template to make the wreath using various sizes of leaves and flowers.  Using a scalpel I carefully cut out the centre of the wreath.  
• Using the stamping platform, I stamped the border around the edge of the 6x6 card, then layered the largest mat onto the white card.  
• Stamped the sentiment onto white card, cut it out and inked the edges with lilac ink.  I shaped the sentiment using a bone folder and attached it through the wreath, then used foam pads to attach the wreath mat onto the green spotty mat and attached it to the card. 
• Finished off with a die cut butterfly which was inked with green and lilac inks. Finally added small pearls to the card and the centre of the butterfly.

I really liked this card and hope you do too.

Happy Campervan

Hi everyone,

It's my turn to post my first card as a member of the Colourific Design Team.  I've called my card Happy Campervan because it reminds me of a holiday I had in one when I was young and everyone I know that has a campervan absolutely loves it.  It would make a great birthday card for a 17 year old as they are now old enough to learn to drive.

Materials used:

7 x 7 Card blank
Stamping card
Campervan stamp pack
Versafine Black Onyx
Wow clear embossing powder
Christine Pooler ink pad minis - Party Collection
Silver and black watercolour paint
Glossy Accents
Button from my stash
3D foam Pads
Gems
Uniball Signo white gel pen

Here's how I made it:

To make my card, I stamped and embossed the campervan onto a piece of stamping card using an Onyx Black Versafine ink pad and clear embossing powder.  

I coloured the image in using Christine Pooler Mini ink pads with silver and black watercoloured paint.  

Then cut out the image and added glossy accents to the lights, gems to the indicators, a button as the badge and added a little white pen as a highlight. Then let it dry - walk away!!!!

For the backing I stamped the medium flower onto a piece of 6.x 6" stamping card to make a border.

I mounted the background onto a wine coloured card and then onto the white card base.  The campervan is adhered to the card by using a combination of 3D foam and 3D glue gel.

Finally, I stamped and cut out the number plate and the Happy Birthday sentiment and used a 3D foam pad to give them extra dimension.

The campervan stamp set contains 22 stamps in total and can be bought on the Colourific site here along with many more beautiful stamps.

Hope you like it, have fun!
