Global Design Project #148

The remit for this project was to CASE the designer.
{for those of you who don't know Case means, Copy And Selectively Edit}

I've just taken delivery of some new DSP so what better opportunity to use it?

 To make this card I used a Soft Sea Foam card base and the Garden Impressions DSP.

I fussy cut 2 flowers from one piece.   The sentiment comes from the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set
using Melon Mambo ink.
The circle is cut from whisper white using the Stitched  Shape framelits, layered on Melon Mambo cut with the Starburst Punch.

Hope you like it.

Delightful Daisies!

Hi everyone.

For this weeks video I made  a card using the Daisy Delight stamp set.

The DSP that went with this suite retired with the last annual catalogue so for this card I had a go at making my own.

To do this I used a selection of the smaller stamps from the set and played around with them.  I stamped in Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive on a sheet of Whisper White which I then cut to size for the card I had in mind.

I had a lot of fun doing this so expect to see more examples of this in the furture!

The card sizes for this project are,

Thick Whisper White card base.  21 x 14.8 cm.  Scored at 10.5 cm.
2 pieces of Whisper White,  1, 12.3 x 8 cm.
                                              2, 7.5 x 2.5 cm.
Piece of DSP. 10 x 14.3 cm.

Whisper White scrap, enough for 2 daisies, 2 leaves and a flower centre.

I also used the Daisy Punch and the 1/2 inch circle punch.
and Inks,  Berry Burst.
                 Lemon Lime Twist.
                 Tranquil Tide.
                 Crushed Curry.



I hope you liked this project,  It's really versatile as you can mix it up buy using different colours and by really going wild with the DSP!

12x12 Stamperatus Template.

Last year Stampin' Up! unveiled the Stamperatus.  This amazing stamp positioning tool has been really well received but, as is the nature of crafters, we have all been pushing forward to find out what else we can do with it.

Many people have started using templates to allow them to stamp in circles / wreaths around a piece if card stock.

Last week i made my own template following a tutorial by Ruth at Artful Stamping and while i was experimenting with it i started to think.

Had anyone come up with a template to allow us to do a wreath stamp technique directly onto 12x12 card stock for scrapbooking?

After a bit of searching and some questions in some demonstrator groups it seemed like the answer was NO, so i found some scrap paper and set to work!

I knew the basics of what i needed to do so i scaled up.  I taped some paper together and got out a sheet of 12x12 and followed the first step of the process and drew round it in the first 2 positions.

I then measured the diagonal length from the centre to the point and marked this through the crossover of the 2 squares to find the positions for the next 2.

 




This gave me the same number of turns as my small template but i felt that with such a large circle it might be useful to have more positions to utilise so i used the same method to put in 4 more squares, which i drew in a different colour.

After transferring this to acetate and trying it out i realised that when positioning the stamp it almost completely fell off the edge at certain points so i went back to the drawing board.

Through trial and error i settled on 9x9 and drew a second set of squares inside the first.

I then added this to my acetate template. you will notice that i have used alternating colours. this is so that i can easily see where i need to move the card too if I'm only using the larger spaced positions.

I also marked the same point on each layer just to ensure everything was in the same place!

Then it was time to get the stamps out!

 This is stamped using all the marked positions.

And this page just used the blue marked positions!

I will definitely be using this a lot. If you check out the video that i did you can see how it works!

I am putting together a document with detailed directions on how to create and use this template so if you want to know more drop me a line!

Birthday Backgrounds with the Stamperatus!

It's video time again!

For this weeks video i wanted to give you a look at the Stamperatus so i decided to use a card i made as a swap at a recent team event.

I wanted to showcase the new in colours and also challenge myself by using a stamp set that is, as the name suggests, backgrounds.

The main part of the card uses all 5 colours and then i varied the main colour on each.
The sentiment came from the Detailed with Love stamp set.

The measurements are as follows,

Thick Whisper White card base, 21 x 14.8 cm scored at 10.5cm.
Whisper White cut at 8.5 x 13 cm  and 5 x 2 cm.
In Colour DSP cut at 2.5 x 5.5 cm.


I love how easy the Stamperatus makes multiple stamping and its fabulous for multi step stamping.

Let me know what you think of the video and if you want any further information leave a comment or drop by my online shop!

Detailed With Love Video!

So my latest video has been out for  a few days and I thought it was about time I got some of the details down!!

I used the Delightfully Detailed suite and one of the returning colours, Blackberry Bliss!  

I'm so happy that this colour is back so expect to see more of it here and in my videos!

To make this card I cut a Thick Very Vanilla card base, cut to 21 x 14.8cm and scored at 10.5cm.
A piece of very vanilla for the sentiment that measures 7 x 4 cm and a piece of Blackberry Bliss 10 x 14.3 cm.

I also used the amazing Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper. This comes as an 8 pack of 12 x 12 inch sheets. 4 each of 2 designs and each sheet is whisper white on one side and very vanilla on the other!

I have to say that the pictures of this paper in the catalog really don't do it justice. 

As you will see in the video it is incredibly delicate and fiddly to work with but it is definately worth the effort!  it can also be coloured in so expect to see it showing up again in the future!
