Little Twinkle Watercolour Anniversary Card

Watercolour Background Anniversary Card using Little Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Little Twinkle Watercolour Anniversary Card

Last week I celebrated my 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I am a little shocked that it’s been 3 years already… but then when I think of all the things we’ve done since we got married, our wedding feels like forever ago! I will share the card I received over on my Facebook Page… James always sneaks into my crafty stash to make me a card (and this year he had fun with Embossing!)

Of course I HAD to make James a fun anniversary card! I had SO much fun making THIS card for Make It Monday last week, and so really wanted to re-create the idea for this card. The colours I’ve used are Night of Navy, Gray Granite, Coastal Cabana, and Berry Burst. I had intended to add some white ink splatter too…. not sure what happened!

I do have to admit that this card also uses a scrap! Yes!… an actual scrap. That circle of Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper is the of cut from THIS card. Nothing wasted!

The sentiment is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink onto one of the Stitched Labels from the Blended Seasons Bundle cut from Vellum. So pretty!

If you’ve enjoyed this project, check out my August Suite Share which features the fabulous Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper!

Make It Monday | How to create a fun watercolour background for your cards

How to create a fun watercolour background for your hand stamped cards using Little Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday How to create a fun watercolour background for your cards

A few weeks ago I was playing around with the Little Twinkle Stamp set (read: should have been making samples for my Twinkle Twinkle Suite Share!) and shared a picture of what I was working on over on Instagram. One of my lovely followers asked how I created the watercolour background… so, here is the tutorial!

I’m a little bit in love with this colour combination; Blueberry Bushel, Coastal Cabana and Gray Granite. So pretty, and a great way to make a pretty yet masculine card…. although I think if I was to make this again I might hit it with a bit of Wink of Stella for some sparkle too!

There isn’t really any trick to creating this type of background, other than patience! There are two layers of watercolour on this card, plus some over stamping. You can see all the details in the video tutorial…

Stampin’ Up! inks are water-based, which allows you to use the same inks that you stamp with to create fun watercolour backgrounds like this one! To use your inks for watercolour, just squeeze the ink pad before you open it to put in onto the “lid”… this is a little tricky on the new style ink pads, and so you might choose to use a drop of a re-inker onto a clear block instead.

Video Tutorial…

Once the first layer of watercolour is laid down, leave it! Let it dry naturally for less warping, or hit it with your heat tool for speed. The second layer is where you create those fabulous harsh lines and blend the colours. Then, once its all dry, you can add some stamping! Here I’ve added stamping using the Stampin’ Up! Craft White Ink… this ink is a pigment rather than being water-based like the rest of the Stampin’ Up! inks. This allows you to get a really crisp white image, but it does take a little longer to dry.

The sentiment is stamped last, although the Blueberry Bushel in has been resisted by the White Pigment for a further fun watercolour effect.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #023 | Congratulations Twinkle Twinkle

How to use Designer Series Paper in your card making featuring Twinkle Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge #023 Congratulations Twinkle Twinkle

Hello! Oh my goodness, I feel like these challenges are coming around awfully quickly at the moment! I’m sure it’s because we’ve changed how we organise them slightly, and so I only made my challenge card for challenge 22 last week… but nothing has changed for you so really that is completely irrelevant! I do hope you enjoy our challenges, do pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and see the other members of the Design Team’s creations!

This sketch totally lends itself to a card that uses big pieces of Designer Series Paper! I love this type of card as they come together really quickly but look fabulous too. My card for today features the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper that is predominately designed for baby cards, and so that is what I have made today pairing it with the coordinating stamp set; Little Twinkle. However, this paper is full of generic patterns that I can see being put to a heap of uses plus it’s heavy on the Night of Navy too so it’s perfect for guy cards!

The hardest bit of this card was making sure the measurements were right. First I cut the piece of Whisper White as a mat for the Designer Series Paper, then I worked out how big each piece of Designer Series Paper needed to be based on that measurement.

Measurement:

Card base: Night of Navy; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 14.85 cm

Whisper White; 9.5 x 13.8 cm

4 pieces of Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper; 4.5 x 6.65 cm

Whisper White; 10.5 x 2.5 cm
