Sweet Stampin' Dies And/Or Punches

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Anyhoo it's that time of the week again - it's my turn to share my Sweet StampinDesign Team project with you. So as our fabby theme this week 'Dies And/or Punches'(plus a stamped element) I decided to create an autumnal tag.  As you may know I love this time of the year, I adore all the gorgeous colours it creates so this was a great opportunity to use them in my project.

In my tag I used a mixture of distressing inks, gilding flakes, dies and a stamp etc.




Here's What I Did (sorry it's text heavy)
To start with I used a 4.75” x 8” tag. I created the tag background by blending several distressing inks (DI) together; I started with patches of Mustard Seed, then Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick and Pickled Raspberry blending them together as I went along. Gradually I added more and more ink until I was happy with the result.  Using a stencil I sponged Peeled Paint DI in different areas around the tag and to create even more depth I used Tea Dye, Vintage Photo and Black Soot DI around the edges and in the corners.

To create contrast on the tag I die cut an oval decorative frame, a flourish and some small flowers from black card. I also die cut several leaves from white card and coloured them using the same distressing inks and method as before. To create interest and texture I stamped text onto both the tag and the leaves using a strong glue and copper gilding flakes. Then using the already glue soaked applicator I splodged (technical term! J ) randomly onto the tag surface and around the edges and added even more flakes.

To make the large focal flower I die cut 2 large flower shapes and one small one from a beautiful autumnal patterned paper; each flower was shaped by hand and inked at the edges. The layers were glued together to form the final flower and to complete the look I added a small ceramic embellishment in the centre.

To assemble the tag I started by gluing the frame, the large leaves and the flourish in place. Next I added the large flower, the small leaves and some of the black flowers. Using my computer I created the text banners which I printed and cut out then inked around the edges, these were also glued into place on the tag.  

To finish off I added a little metallic ink on the ceramic embellishment using a pen, and attached the last few flowers and a couple of pearls.
Here's What I Used
Distressing Inks - Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Pickled Raspberry, Peeled Paint, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, Black Soot
Stamp - Inkylicious ‘Latin Script’
Dies - Spellbinders ‘Floral Ovals’. Sizzix ‘Tattered Florals & ‘Tattered Leaves’, Tonic ‘Ovals’, Marianne Designs ‘B117 Fanciful Flourish’, Creative Expressions ‘Camellia – Complete Petal’
Paper & Cardstock (CS) - White CS, Black CS, My Mind’s Eye ‘Vintage Charm’

Sugar Nellie - Time for Walkies


- Hello Sugar Fans -
I hope you're all well and no cold sniffles. I don't know about you but I love autumn with all the fab colours about, but some days there's a definite nip in the air so I guess winter is most definitely on the way. Thankfully I don't mind the winter months but I have to admit to not liking it when the days are dark and grey....but I guess it just mean I'll have to craft more. :) 
Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and Sugar Nellie day, and my turn to share a card with you.  So this week I thought I would use another gorgeous 'All Dressed Up' digital stamp, this one is called 'Time For Walkies' and she's available from Funkykits. 

 


Here's What I Did
I used a 6" x 6" scallop card blank - I embossed a piece of blue patterned paper using a snowflake embossing folder, and and matted it onto the card base. I printed my image directly onto my colouring cardstock and coloured it with Copic Markers, to add a little background I added various sized dots. I then die cut 2 frames from blue and pink card using several square dies and layered them up on the card base. The coloured topper was inserted inside the frame. 

To finish off I added white dots to her scarf and a few glittery die cut snowflakes and pearls.
Here's What I Used
Digi Stamp: 'Time for Walkies' All Dressed Up digital stamp available from Sugar Nellie at Funkykits
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Craftwork Super Smooth Digital CS, Topsy Turvy CS, First Edition 'Silent Night' Paper Pad, Glitter CS

Sweet Stampin' - Antiques Roadshow (Old Stamp)

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Anyhoo it's that time of the week again - it's my turn to share my Sweet StampinDesign Team card with you. Our super theme this week is 'Antiques Roadshow (Old Stamp)' - so erm, basically use an old stamp. I just know you've got loads of old stamps tucked away in your crafty drawers (ooo err missus) that you haven't used in ages or maybe have old digital stamps stored in computer folders that haven't seen the light of day for years. So dust them off and get cracking!

For my 'Old Stamp' card I used a Fizzy Moon stamp that I bought a few years and never got around to using it. This was actually made for a close friend's birthday and I used Copics to colour her in. I love these little guys, they're all just so cute.


 



Here's What I Did
I used an 7" x 7" white card base which I matted and layered with some patterned paper. I stamped the Fizzy Moon characters and my sentiment onto some colouring card and die cut it to size, everything was coloured with Copic pens. The finished picture was matted onto complimentary card and attached to the card base.

To finish off I added a touch of glitter, a few gems and crystal dots. 

Here's What I Used
Stamp:  Fizzy Moon 'Birthday Treats' and Paper Smooches 'Sentiment Sampler'
Dies: MFT 'Blueprint 14'
Paper/Cardstock (CS):  LOTV 'Perfect Pairs' Paper Pad, Pink 7 Beige CS

Sugar Nellie - Princess

- Hello Sugar Fans -
I hope you're all fine and dandy. I hope it's lovely wherever you are. Well I don't know about you but it felt decidedly cold here today, in fact it felt like winter; mind you it was glorious here the other day, it was like a summer days. I don't know.....good old British weather lol.
Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and my turn to share my Sugar Nellie make with you. So this week I thought I would make a little Christmas bauble --- well why not! I used the ever so pretty 'Princess', which is available as a digital stamp from Funkykits.  I've never actually used her before, but I just think she's so sweet and I adore her dress, and of course I had to make it sparkly. A girl needs some glitter in her life --- don't you think!  
I apologise in advance for the photograph quality of the baubles. Unfortunately it's not fantastic as I had to turn off the camera flash and my overhead light to try and avoid the reflection in the plastic bauble. Also the plastic seems to have distorted the image slightly making it a little blurry - so if I can take some better pictures I'll upload them in their place.
 


  


http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/

Here's What I Did
Firstly I die cut 2 pink scallop circles from card for the back of my bauble. Next I printed the image onto colouring cardstock along with a sentiment and die cut it into a circle, distressed the edge and attached it to one of the scallop circles. I printed out a further 2 images and coloured them all with Copic Markers and then fussy cut out the parts I wanted. The 'Princess' image was layered up onto the base image, then glitter and a gem was added to her dress. I placed a few die cut glittery stars and white dots around her to add a little interest.  Using strong glue PVA I smeared a small amount around the rim of the bauble I attached it to the circles. 
To stop the bauble from tipping forward I added a little extra weight by gluing a few coins to the back, I used the remaining die cut scalloped circle to hide them using foam tape.  To finish off I added a length of Bakers Twine and a ribbon.
Here's What I Used
Digi Stamp: 'Princess' available from Sugar Nellie at Funkykits
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Pink CS, Colouring CS
Copics: Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R30, R20 / Dress & Shoes - R000, R11, R20, R22 / Hair - YR0000, YR000, YR00, E13, E99

Sweet Stampin' - Wheels

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Well that's me back from my fabulous holiday in Majorica. Basically I sunned myself, ate and drank (only soft drinks though!) the whole time. My hubbie and I had a lovely relaxing holiday which was perfect after having a hectic year, and a little health scare a few months ago. Now I feel I'm back on track again. so it's onwards and upwards as they say.

Anyhoo it's that time of the week again, it's Sweet Stampin' time and my turn to share my Design Team card with you. Our fab theme this week is 'Wheels'. 

For my 'wheels' card I used an old baby digi stamp from Pink Petticoat to create a Christening card - this was a commissioned card so I've covered up the baby's name on the tag.



 

Here's What I Did
I used an 8" x 8" white card base which I matted and layered with some patterned paper and coloured card. Using a smaller piece of the pink card I punched along the bottom edge and matted it with the same patterned paper as before, then wrapped a piece of ribbon around it - this was mounted onto foam pads and added to the card base.

The digi stamp, sentiment and the baby's name was printed directly onto some white card and cut to size. The pram was printed out twice onto colouring card stock and coloured with Copic pens. both of the prams were then fussy cut out and added to the topper using foam tape to give extra dimension. The completed topper was added to the card base along with die cut flowers and a flourish.

To finish off I added buttons for the wheels, the name tag and a few pearls.

Here's What I Used
Digi Stamp:  Pink Petticoat 'Sweet Cheeks'
Dies: Britannia Multi Rose 'Medium', Marianne Designs 'Swirl Rose-LR0162', Cheery Lynn Designs 'B11-Fanciful Flourish'
Paper/Cardstock (CS):  Pink, Cream, Dusky Pink, Green, Lemon CS, First Edition 'Spring Drops'

Sugar Nellie - Feed The Birds

- Hello Sugar Fans -
Well I've literally just come back from my fab holiday in Majorca - Puerto Pollenca to be exact. My hubbie and I had a brilliant time relaxing in the sun and of course swimming in the sea. It was just fabulous being able to colour away and whilst listening to my music whilst staring at the ocean...total bliss.  
Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and Sugar Nellie day, and my turn to share a card with you.  So this week I thought I would make something another girly and autumnal for you. This gorgeous 'All Dressed Up' stamp is called 'Feed the Birds' and I thought it had touch of autumn about it - she's available as a digital stamp from Funkykits.  I just think she's so cute and I love the little squirrel, there's more of the 'All Dressed Up' digital stamps available to download in store. 
 
 


Here's What I Did
I used a 6" x 6" scallop card blank and matted it with pretty blue patterned paper. I printed my image directly onto my colouring cardstock and I coloured it with Copic Markers, to add a little background I added various sized dots. I then die cut 2 frames from blue and pink card using several square dies and layered them up on the card base. The coloured topper was inserted inside the frame. 

Using the left over squares from the frames I adhered some doubled sided sticky paper to them and die cut some skeleton leaves. I peeled off the backing paper and added some crystal glitter - these were added to my frames as embellishments.

To finish off I added a few gems and a touch of glitter.
Here's What I Used
Digi Stamp: 'Feed The Birds' All Dressed Up digital stamp available from Sugar Nellie at Funkykits
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Craftwork Super Smooth Digital CS, Topsy Turvy CS, Double Sided

Sweet Stampin' - Emboss It

Hello and good morning everyone ---

Well it's that time of the week again --- it's Sweet Stampin', and my turn to share my Design Team card with you. Our fab theme this week is 'Emboss It' - so that can be dry embossing, inking and embossing, or using an embossing folder - basically as long as you included a stamped element any 'embossing' is fine.

For my card I used cute My Favourite Thing (MFT) stamp set called 'You Have My Heart' - just in case you're interested there is also a die set that co-ordinates with this too.  I stamped and coloured this cute pair with Copics, used texture paste on the starry sky, and stamped and embossed my sentiment.




 

Here's What I Did
I used a 5" x 5" scalloped white card base. I then die cut a square from white card and die cut another square inside it, to create a frame. I added foam tape to the back of the frame to raise it up, Using some mid blue card I die cut another square the same size as before so it would fit inside the frame. Then using a star stencil I taped it in place over the top of the blue square (using removable tape) and plastered glitter texture paste over the top. I carefully removed the stencil from the square and allowed it to dry. Once dry I glued the square inside the white frame.

Next I stamped the girl and her dog and coloured them Copic pens, and then cut them out. I die cut a grassy hill from green card and stamped and embossed my sentiment on the front, and added dots using a white pen.  To finish off I glued the hill and the girl inside the frame.

Here's What I Used
Stamp Sets:  MFT 'You Have My Heart'
Dies: Simon Says Stamps 'A2 Card Curved Edge', Tonic 'Square' Layering Dies
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Deep Blue, Green, White CS
Copics: Skin - E000, E00, E11, R30 / Hair - E31, E33, E35, E37 / Dress - B12, B24, B32 / Dog - E31, E33, E35, C2, C5, C7 / Grass - G07
Other: Memry Box 'Stars Starry Night' Stencil, cosmic Shimmer Texture paste 'Aurora' , White embossing Powder

Sugar Nellie - Santa Door Hanger

- Hello Sugar Fans -
Good morning everyone, well it's definitely getting cooler and the weather is swiftly moving into autumn. I love autumn, but I don't like the darker evenings. At least I will be having a little breather from the cold, as I'm off on my late summer holiday very shortly...and it's somewhere nice and warm :)
Anyhoo, it's Wednesday and my turn to share a fabulous Sugar Nellie project with you.  This week I thought I would make something festive, so here is a Christmas door hanger, I know, I know I said the 'C' word again...sorry!  For the hanger I've used the sweet digi stamp 'Little Helpers' from Funkykits
 
 
  

Here's What I Did
Firstly I printed the digital image and my message 'Santa Please Stop Here' directly onto some colouring card stock, and then cut it into a rectangle measuring 4" x 10".  I coloured the image with Copic pens and matted it onto gold holographic card and then onto red card. Next I die cut a circle in the centre top.

I die cut 2 scalloped frames by using a scallop and plain circle die. These were then glued into place on the front and back of hanger around the hole - this was done to reinforce the aperture.

To finish off I added die cut white mini snowflakes, glittered up Santa's fur trim and added a ribbon bow.

Footnote --- Please beware that if you try to die cut the circle at the top through the 3 layers of card like I did. I had a terrible job cutting though everything, and it took approx 6 attempts and it still didn't cut though properly, plus it made awful crease marks on the hangers. So next time I will definitely die cut a circle on each layer separately, and then assemble.
Here's What I Used
Digi Stamp: 'Little Helpers' from Sugar Nellie at Funkykits
Paper/Cardstock (CS): Red CS, Holographic Gold CS, Neenah CS
Copics: Skin: E000, E00, R20 / Beard -  W0, W1, W2, W5 / Santa Suit, Gloves & Red Presents - R000, R14, R27, R20, R30, R32, R59 / Snow - BG10 / Sky - B0000, 0 / Boots & Belt - C0, C1, C23, C3, C5, C7 / Sack - / Rabbits & Sack - E00, E31, E33, E35, E37, R20, R32 / Green Presents & Scarfs - YG01, YG03, YG17 / Yellow presents & Stars - Y000, Y02, Y08, Y38 / Sack - E00, E31, E33, E35, E37 / Candy Cane - R30, R32, R59, C2

Sweet Stampin' - Let's Get Musical

Hello and good morning everyone ---

As you will have already gathered my term with Tiddly Inks has come to an end, so I'm back with the fab and talented Design Team girls at Sweet Stampin' - thanks ever so much Abi for releasing me :)

Well our theme this week is 'Let's Get Musical' (Musical instruments, notes, papers etc) so I used one of the cute digital images from Sugar Nellie and added some music patterned paper.  Perfect :)



 

Here's What I Did
I created my own 5" x 7" blank tent fold card from white A3 cardstock.

Next I printed my image directly onto my colouring card and die cut it into a rectangle, then coloured it with Copic pens. Using a sheet of LOTV music patterned paper I die cut it into a rectangle using the same stitched die as before, this was to ensure I cut it to the correct size and had the stitched effect on it. The patterned paper was cut again using a the word pop die (speech bubble) and inked around the edges, this was added to the dog image panel.  To add a little interest I die cut a 'Hello' sentiment from Gold mirra card and glued it in place on top of the music paper. The whole panel was then matted onto brown card and attached to my card base using foam pads. 

To finish off I drew a few more musical notes and added glossy accents to them, glued on gold mirra card circles and used a white pen on the eyes of the dog for highlights.

Here's What I Used
Stamps: Sugar Nellie 'Love Songs' from Funkykits
Paper/Cardstock (CS): A3 White 300gsm CS, Brown CS, Neenah Colouring CS, Gold Mirra CS, LOTV 'Heartfelt' Paper Pad
Copic Pens: Dog - E13, E21, E29, E33, E37, E51, E53, E99 /  Guitar - R02, R05, R14, R29, R32, R59, Y000, Y06, Y17 / Ground -= C0, C23, C5

Sugar Nellie - Berry

- Hello Sugar Fans -
Hi everyone, well the school hols are almost over and all I can stay is....what a 'blah' summer we've had. It's been awful....yes, we've had the occasional nice day but the majority of the time is been 'blah'! My daughter is all grown up now so it doesn't really affect me but it's been awful for the kids and parents this year. All well roll on my holidays...and a bit of sun on my back. I'm looking forward to colouring in the sun with a nice glass of something...which in my case will be water lol!!
Anyhoo, it's onto my Wednesday Sugar Nellie make for you. This week I decided to make plaque using a MDF shape instead of my usual card, and I have to save I love every minute of creating it and I'll definitely be making more of them...so watch this space! So for my project I used a stamp from the Scrapberry range called 'Berry' which is available from Funkykits.




Here's What I Did
I used a small MDF rectangle which I covered with a piece of patterned paper, and then inked around the edges. I stamped my rabbit onto colouring cardstock, coloured her using Copic pens and fussy cut her out.

I stamped the flowers onto some co-ordinating patterned paper, cut them out and again inked around the edges. The flowers plus some punched out leaves, a die cut sentiment and a few hearts were glued to the plaque along with a strip of lace and a piece of ribbon. The rabbit was added last using some foam tape to give it a little extra dimension.  To finish off I added a little glitter, and a few pearls and a sprinkling of sequins.
Here's What I Used
