Abstract Impressions - Happy Birthday Wreath
Products I used:
Abstract Impressions - Wreath Builder
Love playing with my Stamparatus to create the flower wreaths. First I used some cardstock at 4" x 4" to use as a template to create on my grid by lining up the points at the 3" marks.
Here the instructions I created but I was inspired to create this using The Paper Pixie's video on how to do it.
1. The base of the card is Blueberry
Bushel cut at 5” x 10” and scored at 5” in the middle.
2. The second layer is Balmy
Blue cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 4-1/4”.
3. The third layer is Whisper
White cut at 4” x 4”.
4. Stamparatus (Page 207): It is a tool to perfectly align your
stamps. Magnets are very strong and
should not be too close together or they may break! I have duct tape on mine to make it easier to
pick them up. They are positioned in
individual wells on the back of the Stamparatus. The foam mat is to be used with Photopolymer
stamps. Remove if using the red rubber
stamps. There are two plates, but they should not be stored away in the hinges
or they might break.
5. Lay the 4” x 4” Whisper White
cardstock in the Stamparatus on the template.
Place a magnet to hold it in place.
Take the “larger flower” stamp image and position it at the top center
of your cardstock. Place the plate over
the stamp to pick it up. Make sure
cardstock and the grid don't move. Reposition, if
necessary. Ink up the stamp with the Balmy Blue ink. Close the plate and press down with your
fingers. You can re-ink the stamp again
if isn’t dark enough or missing ink. Use
the Shammy if you need to clean off each time before your stamp. Once
satisfied, turn your Whisper White cardstock on the template to the left. Ink up with the Balmy Blue ink again and
stamp. Repeat until you have the wreath
done. Now flip the plate over and use
the “smaller flower” image using Blueberry Bushel ink. Do the same as before.
6. Stamp the leaves with Call Me
Clover ink (not necessary to use the Stamparatus) in between each flower.
7. Ink up the sentiment of your choice with Blueberry
Bushel and stamp in the center of the flower wreath.
8. Make an envelope with the
Envelope Builder and 8-1/8” x 8-1/8” DSP starting at the 4-1/4” mark. Punch and score all the way around.

Enjoy Life - Miss You
This is another card I stamped using the Enjoy Life stamp set again. It is cased from Linda Van Wely-Zwille because I just loved the colors she used. I think the new Blueberry Bushel is a new favorite of mine. It is a new In-Color that will be around for a couple years at least. I also Bermuda Bay. I used the Sponge Brayers to get this effect and sprinkled water on it and blotted it dry with a paper towel. Once dry, I added the grass with Memento Black and also the bike silhouette stamp using the Stamparatus. Here are my instructions:
Stamp Set: Healing Hugs
Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black,
Whisper White
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Blueberry Bushel, Memento Black
and/or Night of Navy
Other: Stamparatus, Big Shot, Stitched Shapes
Framelits (circle) Multipurpose Glue, Dimensionals, Sponge Brayers, water,
paper towel
1. The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel
cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2. The second layer is Bermuda Bay cut at 4” x
5-1/4”.
3. The third layer is Basic Black cut at
3-15/16” x 4-15/16”.
4. The fourth layer is Whisper White cut at
3-3/4” x 4-13/16”.
5. Starting with the lighter color – Bermuda
Bay – ink up the Sponge Brayer and brayer it across the Whisper White cardstock
horizontally.
6. The take the darker color – Blueberry
Bushel – ink up the Sponge Brayer and brayer it across the opposite side of the
card and blend the colors together until satisfied.
7. Optional:
Get your hand slightly wet with water and sprinkle onto the cardstock
and immediately dry with a paper towel.
8. Ink up the grass with Memento Black ink or
Night of Navy ink to stamp the grass along the bottom of the Bermuda Bay side.
9. Use the Stamparatus and Memento Black ink
to stamp the bicycle person.
10. Ink up the sentiment with Memento Black ink
on Whisper White cardstock. Use the Big
Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelit circle to die cut it out. Add Dimensionals to the back and adhere to
the front of the card.
