Creative Inking Blog Hop - Gratefulness

 

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop featuring projects about gratefulness. Using Stampin' Up! products to create unique pieces of home decor is one of my favorite things to do. Today's project uses an 8" x 8" display frame purchased from a local craft store. Display frames allow for three-dimensional art to be placed on a wall, on a shelf or in a easel.

 

This is the completed base before it was put inside the display frame. 

 

Directions:

Base:  8" x 8" Very Vanilla Cardstock

Swirls:  Place the Flourish Thinlits Die on scraps of Cajun Craze Cardstock and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach three Swirls with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen.

Banner:  2" x 8" Vellum Cardstock and use the Banner Triple Punch on both ends. Use a Bone Folder to curl the ends. Place the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies on scraps of Basic Black Cardstock and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach the letters to the Banner with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen. Attach the banner to the Base with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen.

 

Flowers:  Scraps of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron Cardstock. Use the Medium Daisy Punch and the Daisy Punch and punch two of each size and color. Use a Bone Folder to curl the edges of the daisies. Attach them together with Glue Dots. Add Gold Faceted Gems in the centers. They are attached to the Base with Dimensionals.

 

The final touch is to use the Take Your Pick Tool (piercer tip), a Pierce Mat and a Pearlized Doily.  Lay a Doily over each flower and pierce holes around them using the holes in the Pearlized Doily as a guide. 

 

Ta-da! My grateful frame is complete. This will be a good visual reminder to have an attitude of gratitude.

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Octoberfest

 

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop featuring projects about Octoberfest. Having festivities with family and friends during the Fall is a fun idea. And, anyone hosting an Octoberfest event would need to have some decorations.  Today's project is a Fall wreath filled with different leaves from the Colorful Seasons and Rooted in Nature Stamp Sets. 

 

 

Since I used seven leaf images, I used these seven ink colors:  Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White Cardstock. The images are cut out with the Seasonal Layers and Nature's Roots Dies. The leaves are layered together and gently bent to look more realistic. They are attached to a 7 1/4" wooden embroidery hoop with Mini Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

 

 

The embroidery hoop is attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to a 10" x 10" wooden base. The "hello fall" is from the Hand Lettered Prose Dies cut from Gold Foil Sheets. They are attached with Glue Dots.

 

The final touches are Sprig Punches from the Gold Foil Sheets, Linen Thread and Gold Faceted Gems. Let the Octoberfest festivities begin!

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Autumn Vibes

 

 

Welcome to this month's Blog Hop. This month, we are featuring projects created with Autumn vibes. Since Autumn begins on Monday, this is the perfect time to share and inspire you!

Earlier this month, I went to a craft store with some friends. I saw a sample on display and immediately knew I had to make it.

 

It started with this 7 1/2" x 15 1/2" deer head. Some of you may be a bit shocked that I would do any craft project using to a deer head. I'm not into decorating anything with a hunting theme. But, never say never!

 

Is this not the cutest deer head you have ever seen? I used two sheets of the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I could have used the beautiful floral sheets in this DSP, but decided to use the leaf images. I traced the deer head on the back side of the DSP and cut it out with Paper Snips. Attaching the DSP to the deer head was simple with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

 

To create the floral spray, I used Vellum, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow Cardstock. The punches used were the Leaf, Sprig, Medium Daisy and Daisy. I also used the 1 3/8" Scallop Circle and 1 1/8" Scallop Circle Punches, where I created petals by using the Paper Snips. All the punches were attached together with Glue Dots. A Perennial Essence Floral Center was perfect to finish off the floral spray. The floral spray was attached to the deer head with Dimensionals.

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Favorite New Catalog Product Suite

 

This month's Blog Hop participants are creating projects using our favorite product suites in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. Tough decision on which one to choose, so I will go with the first suite I ordered, the Bird Ballad Suite found on pages 91 and 92. The products from the Bird Ballad Suite that I used on this project were the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and the 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim.

 

 

This is a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" wooden shadowbox that was in my craft stash. It was fun to decorate it using the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). This DSP has beautifully colored images.

 

 

 

 

Here is a 35 second video showing both sides of this DSP.

Directions:

First Layer:  Adhere 4" x 6" DSP to the shadowbox using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Second Layer:  Use the Stitched Nested Labels Die on Pool Party Cardstock and cut on a Die Cutting Machine. 

Third Layer: Use the Stitched Nested Labels Die on Whisper White Cardstock and cut on a Die Cutting Machine. Attach the Second and Third Layers together with SNAIL Adhesive. Attach to the First Layer with Dimensionals.

Fourth Layer:  Use Paper Snips to cut out the bird image from the DSP. Attach to the Third Layer with Mini Dimensionals. Add two Flower Faceted Gems. 

 

Directions:

First Layers:  Adhere three pieces of 1 7/8" x 2" DSP to the shadowbox using Tear & Tape Adhesive. I cut some sticks and adhered them with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Second Layers:  Use Paper Snips to cut out the bird images from the DSP. Attach to the First Layers with Mini Dimensionals. 

 

The final touch is to put Tear & Tape Adhesive around the front of the shadowbox. Add the 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim on the four edges and trim with the Paper Snips. Did you notice that this project used no rubber stamps? That is rare for me!

Creating a Floral Sampler

 

Today's project is a floral sampler that was designed by my team member, Deb Ives. She used different stamp sets, thinlits, framelits and accessories from all the Stampin' Up! Catalogs to create this beauty. Last Sunday, my team members were able to make this sampler at my team meeting.

 

 

Directions:

• Everyone started out with a 5" x 7" piece of Pool Party Cardstock as the base of this sampler.
• Some of the details in this sampler are from Bermuda Bay Cardstock and some are from Whisper White Cardstock.
• All the stamped images used the Basic Gray Ink Pad and were colored with Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.
• The three floral pieces were attached with Dimensionals.
• Everything else was attached with Glue Dots.

 

Isn't it beautiful when it is put inside of a white frame? It is ready to bring a smile to anyone's face.
