Geared up garage meets family party

One of my nephews had a significant birthday so I decided to make him a card using Geared Up Garage.  The first three cards have the same elements, using different colours and the 3rd, different orientation.



My first card below is on a base of crumb cake with a layer of  Golden Honey Specialty DSP.  The sentiment is from Family Party stamp set stamped on crumb cake using memento ink using the stamparatus and then reinking with versamark then applying clear embossing powder and heat set.  The car is stamped on basic black and embossed in gold.



My second card has a base of whisper white, dsp layer is Country Club dsp.  Sentiment is on garden green, also stamped in memento black and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The car is stamped on night of navy and clear embossed.



My third card uses a base of smoky slate and has a layer of Classic Garage dsp (retired).  The layer is crumb cake and the car is stamped on basic black with silver embossing powder.

The last card is has a slightly different style, base of crushed curry with a layer of Classic Garage dsp and sentiment stamped on crushed curry and clear heat embossed.  Car is also stamped on basic black with silver embossing powder.

Creative Cards at The Grove August 2018

This month we will experiment with The Stamparatus doing the wreath technique.

This technique is great for using any small image together with a template and a square piece of card.  You can aff extra images to add variety.

This first card uses the leaf from Rooted in Nature and is stamped in pool party, lemon lime twist, old olive and Bermuda Bay.

The flower on this card is from the Painted Glass stamp set.

This card also uses the stamp set Painted Glass.  Both were cased from here   

The circles on this card are from the stamp set Swirly Frames. I just love the way this one turned out.

Creative Cards at Belair June 2018

Our first card that we will be making this month is using a stamp set called Accented Blooms from the 2018 Stampin' Up Annual Catalogue.  These cards below use Stampin Up incolours and the new uninked spectrum pads.  The flower stamp coordinates with tailored tag punch. 

I card above is using the 2017-2019 incolours with the spectrum pad inked with powder pink, berry burst, fresh fig, lemon lime twist and tranquil tide.  I have also inked up the focal stamp with the spectrum pad and lifted up the image with dimensionals.  Underneath is a 1cm strip of card in coordinating colours.

I card above is using the 2018-2020 incolours with the spectrum pad inked with blueberry bushel, call me clover, lovely lipstick, grapefruit grove and pineapple punch.  I have also inked up the focal stamp with the spectrum pad and lifted up the image with dimensionals.  Underneath is a 1cm strip of card in coordinating colours.

The second card that we will make is a card that I CASED from Erica Cerwin.   I changed the colours to blues.  Check out her card here.
