Make It Monday Gift Bag using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Hello…. welcome to Make It Monday!

I have another 3D project for you this week, I am on a bit of a 3D item kick at the moment… I think it’s got something to do with the build up to the Autumn Winter Catalogue! (I have a whole stack of these in my Craft Room… let me know if you want one HERE!)

One of the things about making more 3D things is that I am also LOVING this years selection of Designer Series Papers…. these two in particular are some of my top picks; Naturally Eclectic and Be Merry. I have paired that lovely festive Be Merry paper with Christmas Pines and its coordinating die set. While the Naturally Eclectic version (made in the video) uses the Eclectic Layers thinlits and Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp set

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 8″ (15 x 20 cm)

Score on the short side at; 3/4, 2 3/4, 3 1/2 and 5 1/2″ (2, 7, 9 and 14 cm)

Score on the long side at; 3/4″ (2 cm)

The sentiments are punched out using the Pretty Label punch (another one of my must have’s) I am loving this punch at the moment… it’s just so versatile! and you guys know how much I love a product I can use in LOTS of different ways!

Techniques Series | Masking with This Little Piggy

Techniques Video Masking using This Little Piggy from Stampin' Up!

I am loving the new This Little Piggy Stamp Set and just could not resit a spot of Masking with it…. before this series ends next week! But, do not despair… there will be more Techniques Videos! I promise

How fun is that Pig! Just so cute… and so easy to Mask too.

Miss Piggy is stamped in Basic Grey Archival ink… and then the stamp, stamped off onto a piece of Sticky Note (those ones where the sticky is all over work best!). This is then cut out… yes, it’s fussy cutting… no, I’m not sorry… she’s just so cute! You then cover the stamped image with the sticky note mask… and add ink!

[arve url=”https://youtu.be/ax1fpWGd_00″]

This alternative Z fold card is also quick and easy to do…

Measurements:

Card stock – 21 x 14.8 cm (scored on the long side at 3 and 10.5 cm) (8 1/4 x 5 7/8″, scored on the long side at 1 and 4 1/8″)

Designer Series Paper – 7.5 x 14.8 cm and 3 x 14.8 cm (3 1/8 x 5 7/8″ and 1 x 5 7/8″)

Whisper White – 7.5 x 14.8 cm (3 1/8 x 5 7/8″)

I have used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper for this cards…. I am still loving the watercolour effect of them

Techniques Series | How to use a Die as a Mask

I Like You Friends Thank You Card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

I have one card, two ways for you today! I shared a card yesterday using the Oh So Eclectic Bundle…. and I have another for you today! The dies in this bundle are special… some of them cut, some emboss, some cut the image out of the card stock, and some … leave the image in! and it is these dies that we are playing with today.

I created my own mask using the diamond pattern die in this set….

Creating a mask with these dies is super easy… I simply run them through my Big Shot with piece of Window Sheet, but you could use Vellum… I use Window Sheet because that way I can save my mask and use it again! Running Window Sheet through the Big Shot can be a little frightening, as it makes a whole series of strange whaling and cracking noises…. but its OK, it doesn’t damage the Window Sheet or, more importantly, the Big Shot!

This first card uses the mask with the fabulous New Embossing Paste! I am LOVING playing with this stuff, and I have a couple of videos coming soon all about it. I have coloured the paste here using Night of Navy ink…. but I really needed to add some more ink to get that true Night of Navy colour. Still, it’s not a disaster, just a happy accident! and a learning experience… because next time I know I need to add more!

The second card, made in the video, I ink blended Night of Navy through the Mask. This was I guaranteed myself a true Night of Navy colour! but, I sacrificed that dimension that the Embossing Paste brings.

This card is finished with a series of die cuts using the stamps and dies in the Oh So Eclectic bundle….

Make It Monday | Hogs and Kisses Note Card Set using This Little Piggy

Do you ever have those stamp sets where you absolutely HAVE to make something with them the second they arrive in your craft room?! Well, this is one of those projects from one of those stamps! This Little Piggy is just the cutest stamp set…. I mean, who doesn’t love pigs!

When we first saw this stamp set back in April at On Stage Live the room went nuts… partly because the stamps are just adorable, but partly (I’m sure) because the lady demonstrating had put them in tutu’s!!!! yes… I am damn sure I will be making a piggy tutu card really soon! but for now…. here is my Hogs and Kisses Note card set

The note card holder holds 3 note cards and their envelopes…. but there is room for a couple more! Particularly as you get 4 card bases from a single sheet of A4 card stock.

Note cards measure – 14.8 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 7.4.

Matt – 6.9 x 10 cm

Stamped layer – 6.4 x 9.5 cm

Note card box measurements (because this project uses the Envelope Punch Board I only use Imperial Measurements)

Card stock – 8 x 8″

Punch and score at 3 5/8 and 5″

Belly Band

Card stock – 1 3/4 x 11″ (4.5 x 27 cm)

Designer Series Paper – 1 1/2 x 11″ (4 x 27 cm)

The Envelope Punch Board is one of my all times favourite tools… its great not only for custom sized envelopes for those special cards, but also boxes and other packaging.

Envelopes for the note cards use Designer Series Paper measuring 6 1/4 x 6 1/4″ (punch and score at 2 3/4″)

Techniques Series | Masking with Glue

Techniques series masking video tutorial masking with glue floral card using Birthday Blossoms from Stampin' Up

I love using techniques in my card making, and one of my favourites in Masking. But there are so many different ways to mask, so over the next few weeks I thought we would explore them together. This week we are ‘Masking with glue’ and while this isn’t my original idea (I found it a few years ago on Ruth Trice’s blog) this version of masking is one I do often, and always gets a ‘ooooh, how did you do that reaction!’

This technique is really easy, but needs some time….1. because applying the glue can take a while, and 2. because it needs a good few hours to dry!

So, how do you mask with glue!

Ok, so the real trick is the Stampin’ Up! Fine Tip Glue Pen! This great glue is nice and runny, drys clear and comes with a needle point applicator.

Tips and Tricks:

Stamp your image in Archival ink (either Basic Black or Basic Grey) and give it a minute to dry
Use the Fine Tip Glue pen to ‘colour’ the image with glue…. once the stamped image is nicely covered, leave it to dry (I usually leave it overnight to make sure it is properly dry)
Then you can stamp over it, or blend ink over the glue and the stamped area will remain white
Clean the masked area with a dry paper towel to ensure that the white really pops!

The rest of the card is finished with a sentiment die cut with the Layered Circles and some fussy cut leaves stamped in Emerald Envy. The final part of this card is the embossed panel. I am having heaps of fun with this embossing folder at the moment, its called Seaside… and while it is great for sea themed cards, its just as pretty for other cards too!

Oh I am so excited for this project this week!

Technique Series : Masking with Tape

Techniques Series Video Tutorial Masking Technique using Sticky note tape and Delightful Daisy from Stampin' Up!

Hello! oh, I am loving doing Techniques Videos for you again! I have missed doing these, but things have recently changed with my day job (for the better!) leaving me more time to stamp, blog and spend time with you. I cannot wait!

This week I am continuing my Masking series, and this week we are looking at using tape as a mask. Did you see my card yesterday, which used the same technique….

As I discussed last week, I love masking as a technique, I think it’s because I LOVE a good bit of white space. This version of masking is super simple; using a piece of sticky note tape (or low tac masking tape, use what you have on hand!) to cover an area before stamping. Check out the video for all the details…

This card also uses a strip of that beautiful Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, along with the Daisy Delight stamp set. Now, I have a confession here: this stamp set coordinates (and comes bundled with the pretty Daisy Punch) however, it is currently not available, it’s just so popular Stampin’ Up! can’t keep it in stock! But, I don’t want you to miss this stamp set, yes there is a cost saving bundle, but it only saves you £3.25…. and you NEED the stamp set now! I will of course let you know when the punch is available again.

I hope you are loving this technique’s series as much as I am. I would LOVE to know what Techniques you would like me to explore, let me know in the comments below

Techniques Series: Masking

Oh, I am so excited! I have been trying to launch this series for a few weeks…. and I have finally managed to get a couple of tutorials filmed AND the blog post written!

Each week on a Friday I will be coming to you with a fun Technique… and the first few weeks are going to focus on Masking. I LOVE masking, but there are heaps of different ways to go about it, and so I thought I would share a few of those with you.

This first week I thought I would share the easiest Masking technique I know… using the Pattern Party Masks and ink!

Top Tips for masking:

Tape your card stock AND your mask down to your work surface; I will often use Sticky Notes or Sticky Note Tape, or Washi Tape to do this
Ensure that your Ink Pads are well inked
Dab your sponge into the ink and then onto the project, using a dabbing motion rather than a swirling motion ensures that all that lovely ink gets into the tight areas of the mask and onto the project rather than wasted

These fun cards use the Eastern Medallions Thinlits dies, and the Eastern Beauty Stamp set to create these fun and simple cards.

I love the look of the blue version, with some of the small pieces left in the die cut…. Which one is your favourite?
