Big Day! for a great technique!

Sale-a-bration is the 3 month long BIG sale from Stampin’ Up! Finishing on 31st March 2015, it gives you a choice of 14 FREE items to choose from when you order £45, and each £45 spend gives you an extra item – so if you spend £90 you choose 2 gifts, £130 – 3 gifts etc. etc. Check out my Sale-a-bration page for more information!

This stamp set was designed for use with the fantastic Chalk paper and Chalk inks that are available in the latest Spring/Summer catalogue. But, I didn’t want to just show you what is in the Sale-a-bration booklet, so here we go with a great technique instead.

Stampin' Up! UK Big Day sale-a-bration Bokeh

This technique is everywhere right now! Bokeh is a photography technique, made popular but phone photo apps, where light is used to make spots on the lens of the camera – but it is also a really fun inky technique too!

Firstly, I sponged my piece of Whisper White cardstock with Pink Piroette, Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant to create a coloured background. Then I took a piece of window sheet and created a mask by punching with a variety of sizes of circle. That window sheet mask then creates those fabulous white circles. Place your mask over your cardstock and apply White Craft Ink through the mask with a sponge dauber, the more ink the whiter the finish! I did this across the cardstock to create this look. Be warned though – Craft Ink is a pigment ink and takes a while to dry. I left mine overnight but you can dry it with your heat tool.

Once it was all dry I stamped the cake stamp over the piece in Sahara Sand, and finished the card with a cute tag.

 

This beautiful stamp set could be yours for FREE when you order £45! LOVE it!

Fancy Fold Friday – TeePee Card

I’ve seen a lot of this card on various facebook groups recently, and I had to have a go at making one.

When I had a look through Pinterest looking at this type of card, I found two methods of making it. I prefer the method I will demonstrate here, I have tried it both ways.

Stampin' Up! UK TeePee cardThe other way is to cut 3 squares of cardstock, and fold diagonally in half. Apply glue to one half of each square, and stick them together. You should end up with a sort of chain of square that wrap around to form the TeePee.

Stampin' Up! TeePee card Sale-a-bration

Here I have used Basic Black cardstock, and the Best Year Ever Sale-a-bration designer series paper, and Pink Pirouette with the same DSP.

The stamp is from Big Day, another Sale-a-bration, offering, and is punched out using the Extra-large Oval punch.

Measurements:

Cardstock – 8 1/4 x 5 3/4″

Score on the long side at 4 1/8″ and fold, as if creating a standard fold card

place this folded card base onto the Simply Scored with the short side at the top, scoring at 4 1/8 down to approximately 2 1/2″

Cut this score line, and then cut from the end of that line to the bottom corner of the card – forming a triangle.

Open the card out, score from the middle score line to the outer bottom corner on both sides

DSP = 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″, cut into two triangles
