Rose Wonder Watercolour

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder Shimmer wink of stella

Once again I’ve gone mad with the shimmer on this one!

The Rose Wonder stamp set is one of my favourites from this years Spring Summer catalogue. I’ve stamped the rose in Basic Black on Watercolour paper, and watercoloured it in Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. I have to admit I did make a mistake on this one, because the outline wasn’t black enough, and so I went over the lines with my Basic Black marker pen – which was fine, until I decided to add a layer of Wink of Stella (rookie error!) and of course because both Wink of Stella and the Stampin’ Write marker are water based, the black ran! Oops!

In crafting there are no mistakes, just opportunities. And so I’ve added a button tied with a bow of Whisper White bakers twine. I know that you can still see some of the ‘opportunity’, but it looks better than it did before!

Wedding Wishes ….

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder Wedding Card

I’m LOVING playing with the new Wink of Stella Glitter Brushes in the Spring / Summer catalogue, and just HAD to combine the clear pen with the Rose Wonder stamps and die bundle!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder Wedding Card

This whole card is in Sahara sand. The rose and leaves are both die cut using the Rose Garden thinlits dies, and attached to the card front using my trusty 2-way glue pen. I’m still trying to decide how I prefer to attach these intricate dies, some days I use Tombow and others I seem to prefer the 2-way glue pen – so gutted that the adhesive sheets were retired last year, they would have been perfect!

The Wedding Wishes sentiment is taken from Rose Wonder, and is stamped in Crumb Cake – I wanted a colour of a similar tone but a little darker – and then the edges of the die cut are sponged in the same. I did originally just add the die cut straight onto the card, but it looked a little too plain, so I went back and added some loops of Silver Metallic thread, and a Vintage button tied with a bow of Linen thread.

I’m hoping that this photo does some of the sparkle of the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush some justice. Each of the petals and leaves of this gorgeous die cut have been ‘coloured’ with super fine glitter, and it real life this card just sparkles – perfect for a wedding congratulations! – James bought me a new photography bulb for my birthday so I’m trying out new ways of taking my photos. I’m hoping that my photography skills are improving, but trying to capture the sparkle of this glitter is tough!

Rose Wonder

Stampin' Up! UK Rose wonder birthday card

I’ve recently volunteered to make the birthday cards for the residents in the nursing home where I work. We have up to 69 residents at one time, so I probably should get cracking! There are also a heap of family birthdays in January, so you may well be seeing a whole heap of birthday cards on the blog in the coming weeks!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder

I am loving the Rose Wonder stamp and die bundle! The dies are so pretty and delicate, and the stamp set includes a host of really handy sentiments including birthday, wedding, and sympathy.

The Rose is totally the star of this card – to create this particular rose I die cut the flower from Lost Lagoon card stock and a matching piece of Designer Series Paper from the Going Places stack. I did the same with the leaves, using Mossy Meadow card stock and a similar piece of Designer Series Paper. I have been experimenting with adhesives to stick these dies down, I’m not normally a wet glue gal, however, I love using Tombow or the 2-way glue pen on these die cuts. I stuck the rose down to a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, and then inlaid the die cut pieces of the Designer Series Paper. This allowed me to fussy cut the rose and pop the whole thing up onto dimensionals. The leaves are stuck directly onto the Very Vanilla card front.

The strange patterns on the card stock of the rose was a bit of a mistake, but by the time I had got the rose assembled I wasn’t about to start again! Once I had stuck all the pieces stuck I ran the Rose back through my Big Shot, this proved to be a mistake, as my rather battered big shot plates embossed their marks into my rose! oops!

The card was just a little plan, and so I added some Delightful Dijon ink onto the Very Vanilla card front with a sponge.

Crazy Crafters and Pootler Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder Card

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah on this wonderful Sunday. Today I’m blog hopping again, but this time with a wonderful group of demonstrators from Australia!

We are showcasing some awesome products from the new Spring / Summer catalogue (or the Occasions catalogue if your in Aus) and had a tough challenge set by the lovely Sam Hammond Donald (Pootles) to only use one stamp set / one die or punch / one ink / one card stock! I will admit to have slightly bent the rules and have added both Whisper White card stock and White Craft Ink!

I hope you have enjoyed the hop so far, and remember to hit the NEXT button at the end of this post to continue along your journey of inspiration!

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder Blog Hop

I knew this stamp and die bundle was on my ‘Must Have’ list as soon as I spotted it in the catalogue back in November. I love an intricate die, and this set is just stunning. So, when it came time to design my ‘hop’ project, Rose Wonder was the stamp and die bundle of choice, and the obvious choice for card stock had to be Rose Red!

As I have already mentioned I have slightly bent the rules, and used two colours of ink. I stamped the Rose onto the Rose Red card base in White Craft ink, before adding a layer of Vellum. I also have to admit that this also isn’t quite the truth, as I also stamped the rose onto the Vellum in Memento Black ink, before colouring the leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink and one of my favourite tools – my Blender Pen!

The die cut is actually designed to be the other way around, but it fit my card design better this way. This die cut pops out of the die so easily when you’ve used the Precision Plate on your Big Shot machine. It’s even easier if you use the brand new Big Shot Die Brush too (more on that coming soon!).

Stampin' Up! UK Rose Wonder Wink of Stella

This card needed a couple of extra finishing touches; the sentiment is taken from the same stamp set and die cut with another one of the dies from the bundle. I’ve also added some (Pootle) loops of Gold Metallic Thread and a trio of Metal rimmed pearls. The card still needed an extra special something though and so I have added a touch of glitter with the Brand New Wink of Stella Glitter Brush in clear to the vellum behind the die cut. Trying to get a photograph of the sparkly glitter was a little tricky as it is so super fine, but I think I managed it in the end.

Hope you are enjoying the hop. I’m hopping along too to see what the wonderful Michelle Mills has created, lets go….
