Fable Friends Gingham

Hello there,
Two days in a row, get me! Lol! Todays make is a Fable Friends card that I made but I just realised I added an Easter sentiment and didn't blog it earlier, doh. Anyway, you could recreate this mke but swap out the sentiment, no problems. So, let's see this card shall we?

I love how well these gingham papers work with this stamp set, I shall really miss them when they go at the end of the month :-(

This little squirrel was stamped onto shimmer white card and coloured with ink pads and a blender pen. Such a soft and pretty look.

Crumb cake card and self adhesive sequins finish this card off today.

Well, that's all for today from me, I hope you have enjoyed todays make?
Thanks so much for looking today, I'll be back soon with more crafty ideas, 'till then happy stamping!

Perfectly Paired (Noah's Ark) Baby Card for Inspire. Create. Challenges.

Hello there and welcome to another challenge with Inspire. Create and this week it's a "Baby" themed challenge. I seem to be surrounded by new babies here, my granddaughter was born in January, one dear friend had a baby a few weeks ago and another is due any day! I LOVE it!! And it also gives me an excuse to make lots of baby cards, whoop!

Todays make uses the Perfectly Paired, Noah's Ark style stamp. If you are a regular reader here you'll know that I do love a bit of colouring, be it watercolour (like here) or using Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) so I knew I just had to get this stamp set as soon as I saw it! It is leaving us at the beginning of June though so if you love it too, make sure you get yours ;-)

Let's see todays make...

I stamped this image onto watercolour paper using memento and I did add clear embossing powder to the stamped outline to seal the ink in and prevent it running with the watercolouring. Honestly, usually it's perfectly ok but I find if you add a bit too much water (as you do sometimes when coloring on watercolour paper) it can run and I didn't want to get halfway through and have any ink bleeding so I heat embossed it to be sure ;-)

I used a combination of aqua painter and a blender pen with my ink pads (or you could use re-inkers) on smooth watercolour paper.

Stitched rectangle and the Be Mine Stitched Dies make up the pretty scalloped and stitched layers on this card.

So, that's my "Baby" make for this challenge, to see what the rest of the DT have made please do head to the challenge blog HERE and we'd love you to join in with this challenge too. 

And as I have so many babies around I will be back on Friday with another baby card for you!

'Till then, happy stamping!

Fabel Friends Ducklings Class Card

Hello there,
Today I have another one of the cards we made at March's class using the Fable Friends stamps. These are just the most adorable set of stamps!
For this card I stamped these little ducklings onto watercolour paper using Staz on.
TIP: Use the stamparatus to stamp images onto watercolour paper so you can restamp if necessary as the paper is not flat.
Then we coloured them with blender pens (which I find easier than the aqua painters for smaller images like these) and ink pads...

I used the gingham gala dsp for the background and layered the image using the stitched rectangles and oval dies.

TIP: If you don't have all the ink pad colours you could always use your markers to scribble ink onto a solid surface (like a block or stamp case) or a drop of re-inker then pick up the ink with the blender pens from that.

I finished with some grey gingham ribbon (retired) and a sentiment stamped on the reverse of the paper which has a smaller gingham pattern.

Well, that's all from me for today, I must say I loved this class so much so I really hope you are enjoying seeing the cards we made? I reeeealllly hope this stamp set stays in the new catalogue...
Anyway, 'till tomorrow, happy stamping!
