Mini Kaleidoscope cards - Marleen DT

Hello everyone

I haven't been blogging my creations for a while as life became a bit hectic, but as its starting to settle down again, I jumped at the chance to get back again..

For this weeks creation I had a play with the Kaleidoscope stamp from Colourific.

I love this stamp. Its so pretty and great for both backgrounds and as a centrepiece.

 I decided to make a trio of this design. The cards are all the same, simply just changed around the colours.

The card base is cut at 100x100mm - the middle piece at 95x95mm and the top is 90x90mm.

I coloured each layer in one of each of my chosen colours.

For the top, I used my misty stamping tool to help me get the stamping in the same spot on all 3 cards, but you can use a stamping block as well/

I finished each card by using foam pads between each layer, adding a wooden greeting and a few gems.

Its a very simple card design that could either be strung together to a folding card or they can be used individually

And that is all from me for today.

Thank you for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Happy Birthday - Black Ice Technique

Hi Everyone

Alice here, can't believe we are in the third week in August!  

Materials Used:

A6 Kaleidoscope DoilyStamp

6 x 6 White Card Blank

5.75 x 5.75 Black Mat

5 x 5 Glitter Card

4.5 x 4.5 Black Mat

4.25 x 4.25 Gold Mirri Mat

Sentiment Stamp

Couple of Circle Dies

Stazon Ink Pad

Versamark Ink Pad

Clear Embossing Powder

Gold Embossing Powder

•    Matt larger Black, Gold Giltter Mat onto white card blank.  Using foam pads add            small black mat onto card.
•   Using stays on ink, hold it lightly and drag it down along the length of the gold mirri      mat.  Add a little extra black Stazon at the top and bottom edges of mirri card.              Stamp the Kaleidoscope Doily onto the centre of the mirri card.  Ensure all ink of          mirri card is dry before moving onto next step.
•   Using the Versamark ink pad drag it from top to bottom of mirri card. Ensuring you        do not overlap.  Do not push down on ink pad, let the weight of the ink pad do the        work.
•   Sprinkle clear embossing powder all over the heat with heatgun.  This produces the      iced look.
•   Mat the finished piece onto the raised black mat. 
•   Stamp the smaller circle with your greeting and emboss (I also embossed the                outside edge of the circle).  Using foam pads add this to the larger circle and glue        onto centre of doily.

Thank you for popping by to look.

Good Morning Everyone

Alice here with my last Monday Morning Blog for July.  Can't believe we are heading into August!  The A6 Doily Kaleidoscope clear stamp set was my challenge for this week.  What should I do with it?  Well, I had great fun playing with this stamp set from Colourific.  I have several samples to show you over the next few weeks.   You will find this and all of the stamps used on the Colourific Website here.

Foam Pads

• Stamped the Kaleidoscope with Memento Ink onto centre of 6.5 x 6.5 stamping card, then stamped around it with various stamps from the Marquis Petal and Circular stamps.
• Used Copics to colour everything everything in,  Then went over parts of it with the Sparkle Pen.
• Stamped out one of the Circle Stamps, fussy cut it out and mounted it onto centre of Kaleidoscope with a foam pad.
• Used a Greeting Stamp from my stash and made the banner for the bottom of the card.  This has been mounted with foam pads onto a scrap of black card to give the card some dimension.
