Heat Embossing – mmm…Stampin' Time

WEDNESDAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY TO SHARE A THIRD PROJECT!

This time, it is a project that I made for the Colour INKspiration #119. I am enjoying being part of the Design Crew.

This colour palette is so sweet – thank goodness I am featuring the Gumball Greetings Bundle this week. It is prefectly sweet way to showcase these colours.

May be an image of text that says 'Fresh Freesia #119 Flirty Flamingo Magenta Madness Pool Party Gold COLOUR NksPIRATION SPIRATION CHA CHALLIINGES'

I decided to create a slimline card for this project.

I started by stamping three of the small gumball machines using Versamark on Basic White cardstock. After sprinkling gold embossing powder, from the Metallic Stampin’ Emboss Powders™, across the three gumball machines and shaking off any excess I heat embossed the powder.

Before die cutting the three small gumball machines; I used the Fresh Freesia, Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers™ to colour most of the gumballs in each machine.

I prepared the slimline card by cutting a cardbase from Thick Basic White A4 cardstock measuring 8-1/2″x 7″ and scoring the 7″ side at 3-1/2″.

I scored three lines on the bottom edge of the card front, at 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ from that bottom edge.

Using a 8-1/2″x 2-3/8″ piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum, I created this shiny gold background for the gumball machines.

The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed in gold. I used two of the new banner dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, for the sentimment and a gold accent.

I tied a gold double bow using the Simply Elegant Trim bundle and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot. Finally, a few Gilded Gems were added to the card front.

It was fun using these colours with the Gumball Greetings Bundle.

Make sure you check out the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see all the projects made for this challenge. Even better, you should join us. I look forward to seeing what you make.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I think my project will involve gumballs.

Until then, happy stamping.

TECHNIQUE TUESDAY – TIME TO TRY ANOTHER TRICK

As I work my way through the myriad of card making techniques, I am rediscovering some that I have not used in such a long time.

Today’s Technique Tuesday is all about the Triple Layer Card Technique.

Remember that this week I am featuring the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set. It is great – it has 27 stamps – one major swirl image and four versatile greetings. There are two small swirls that can be used to extend the main swirl.

Then there are 20 more, small stamps – 10 are outline images and 10 are infill stamps. They include two different floral styles, five different leaf styles and a bird. This ensures an amazing range of combinations for all of your projects.

For this card I used just 5, of the 27, stamps. The images were stamped, in stages, using Versamark. Gold embossing powder was sprinkled over the stamped image and heat embossed. This process was repeated until I was happy with the overall image.

The Triple Layer Technique involves cutting the 5-5/8″x 4″ stamped and embossed panel into three, separate rectangle. I used my Stitched Rectangle Dies to do this.

I measured the two smaller rectangles and calculated the sizes of Gold Shimmer Vellum needed to adhere to the back of those two pieces. As soon as these two layers were assembled, I was able to add the three layers to the card base. The largest was adhered diectly on to the base. The next two layers were both added using Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer them up.

Before the smallest layer was added, I wrapped a length of gold Simply Elegant Trim several times around it and tied a bow.

The birthday greeting was heat embossed on a piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum using gold embossing powder. IT was secured on the card front using Stampin’ Seal+.

The small flower was stamped on the card insert and envelope, using Versamark and gold embossing powder.

The final step was to add some gold Metalic Pearls.

I think this has turned out to be a very elegant birthday card. What do you think?

Tomorrow is Wednesday and that means that it is time to share What’s Happening this Wednesday. Wednesday is my day to share blog hops and challenge projects.

Until then, happy stamping.

STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE

Hello and thanks for popping by. I have a very sweet treat to share with you today.

Today’s project was inspired by a block of chocolate I found when I was shopping the other day.

I was drawn to the colour of the chocolate – rich pink with a black and gold label. I knew that I could make a great gift box to pop it inside and give as a gift. The Kokopod chocolate is made in Queensland and is made with strawberry dust blended into white chocolate. There’s also some strawberry dust sprinkled on the front of the block.

I knew that I would use a piece of the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper to make the gift box. The birthday greeting, from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set, on the label was heat embossed in gold. The label was cut using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I made the strawberry in the same way before punching it out using the Strawberry Builder Punch. The label had Stampin’ Dimensionals positioned on the bottom half of the back so that the flap could fit under the top half.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners of the flap. To finish off the label I added some gold Metallic Pearls.

Who would give this sweet treat to? Who, do you know, would like a strawberry milkshake chocolate?

Happy stamping.
