Secret Garden (Reinker Spread Technique)

Here are a couple other cards I made with the same stamp set (Secret Garden and Express Yourself) but with different colors.  I used Island Indigo and Bermuda Bay for the reinker-spread technique.  Then I used Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals for the other card, but the one we did at the workshop was Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder.  Gumball Green ink was used for the leaves.

Secret Garden Reinker Spread

This is a card that we made today at our club workshop that I designed.  Everyone loved this technique.  Here are the instructions on how to make this card. 

Stamp Set:  Secret Garden, Express Yourself

Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz, and Whisper White. Shimmery White

Ink:  Pear Pizzazz, Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Versamark

Reinkers:  Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder

Other:  Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, 3/8” Pear Pizzazz Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Big Shot, Snail Adhesive, Embossing Buddy, White Embossing Folder, Heat Gun, Aqua Painter, Stampin’ Spritzer, paint palette, paper towel, Dimensionals

 

1.      Elegant Eggplant cardstock is cut at 8½” x 5½” and scored and folded in half at 4½”.

2.     The Whisper White cardstock is cut at 5¼” x 4”.  Insert it into the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and run it through the Big Shot

3.     Wrap the Pear Pizzazz Ribbon around the bottom of the Fancy Fan Whisper White cardstock.  Adhere it to the front of the card.

4.     On the 2½” x 4½” Whisper White, you will stamp the leaves from Secret Garden using Pear Pizzazz ink.  Then layer it onto the 2¾” x 4¾” Elegant Eggplant cardstock.  Attach to front of card over the ribbon.

5.     Tie a piece of ribbon onto the wrapped ribbon on the right side.

6.     The Shimmery White cardstock is cut at 3” x 3”.  Lightly rub the Embossing Buddy over the cardstock to remove any moisture or fingerprints on the cardstock before you ink it up.

7.     Use the Versamark to ink up the flower image.

8.     Pour the embossing powder over the image and shake off excess.  Put lid back on before embossing.

9.     Emboss image with the Heat Tool until the powder turns shiny.  Allow to cool.

10.   Insert your embossed image into the plastic container and spray the image with about 3 sprays of water from the Stampin’ Spritzer.

11.    Drop a few drops of Wisteria Wonder reinker into one of the holes of the palette and a few drops of Elegant Eggplant into another hole of the palette. Take the Aqua Painter and make sure the tip is wet, pick up some ink and just the aqua painter to the middle of one of the spaces of the flower.  The ink will run spread like magic.  Use the paper towel to remove excess ink on Aqua Painter before picking up the other color.

12.   It will take about 30 minutes to dry.  Once it is dry, you can cut it out with the Secret Garden Framelit Die using the Magnetic Platform.

13.   Stamp “Happy Birthday” or verse of your choice on scrap of Whisper White cardstock with the Elegant Eggplant ink.  Punch it out with the Large Oval.  Punch out a Pear Pizzazz Scalloped Oval.  Layer the two together and attach with Dimensionals.

Tissue Box Pop-up Card

This is a  card I made for a swap last month.  We could make either a sympathy card or a get well card.  I have been wanting to make a get well-card with a tissue box pop up inside which I thought turned out really cute.  It was so much fun to make.  Of course, I love Island Indigo and Gumball Green colors together.  I seem to be hooked on those two colors lately. 

Stamp Sets:  Four Frames, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Perfectly Penned

Cardstock:  Gumball Green, Island Indigo, Whisper White, Watercolor Wonder DSP (Occasions Catalog 2014)

Ink:  Island Indigo, Basic Gray, Basic Black

Other:  Big Shot, Labels Framelits Collection, Ovals Framelits Collection, Decorative Label Punch, Chevron Embossing Folder, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Scotch tape, Sticky Strip, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals. Bone Folder

1.       Base of card is Gumball Green cut at 8 ½” x 5 ½” and folded in half.

2.      The next layer is a combination of Island Indigo and Watercolor Wonder DSP and each is cut at 5 ¼” x 2”.  The Island Indigo in run through the Big Shot using the Chevron Embossing Folder, and then both pieces are joined together with scotch tape in the back. Then a piece of 3/8” Stitched Satin Gumball Green is placed over where they meet in front.  All is attached with Snail Adhesive

3.      Put little Rhinestone Basic Jewels in the center of the flowers on the Watercolor Wonder DSP.

4.      Cut out a Gumball Green Labels Collection.  Stamp Four Frames stamp on Whisper White using Island Indigo ink.  Stamp “get well wishes” in Basic Gray.  Attach to Gumball Green Label with Snail Adhesive.  Then attach over ribbon with Dimensionals.

5.      For the inside, make the tissue box out of the Watercolor Wonder DSP and cut it 6 ½” x 3” and score at 1 ½”, 3”, 4 ½” and 6” and use the Bone Folder to crease each scored line.

6.      For the opening of the tissue box, use the smallest Oval Framelit to cut a hole for the top of the tissue box.

7.      The tissue box will be open on both sides to allow it to collapse when you close the card.

8.      Put “tissue” inside (l ply and half a sheet) so it’s not too bulky when closed.

9.      Stamp “Get Well” Perfectly Penned Stamp in Basic Black ink below the tissue box.

Scalloped Tag Topper Easter Bunny Basket

This is a Basket I made this morning using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  Isn't he adorable and so much fun to make.  The back side even has a bunny tail made from the Scalloped Itty Bitty Punch.
The colors are Pool Party, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals and Whisper White.  I used the Fringed Scissors for the grass.  The Pool Party basket is cut 6" x 11".  Put the 6" side at the top of the Simply Scored and score at 2" all the way down and at 4" all the way down.  Turn and put the  11" side at the top.  Score at 3" just to the scored line. Then score at 4 1/2" all the way down, then 6 1/2" all the way down.  Then 8" to the score line.  Turn and do the other side at the 3" and 8" to the score line.
Then you will need to cut two parallel lines on the 6"on the score lines but just up to the center score lines.  On the 11" side you will cut on the first scored line to the first cut lines so that you will be cutting away the outside rectangles on all four sides.

The dotted lines are where you will fold and crease with the Bone Folder to make your basket and glue sides together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

1.       I also cut Pool Party side panels at 4 ½” x 2” and insert them into the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot on Tab 1 and glue them onto the Scalloped side with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

2.       The Gumball Green is cut at 2” x 1 ½” four times (one for each side of the basket).  Fringe with the Fringed Scissors and attach to the basket with Snail Adhesive.

3.       For the Bunny:  From Whisper White cardstock and punches, cut two 1 ½”  Circles, two of the 1” circles , four of the ½” circles and one Itty Bitty scalloped shape.  Cut two Elegant Butterflies which you cut off the bottom wings to create your bunny ears. Punch Edges with Primrose Petal ink. 

4.       Put bunny together on the front side of the basket by using Dimensionals.  Punch out a Primrose Petal heart shape from the Owl Builder Punch to make the bunny’s nose and attach with a Glue Dot.  Punch out two Basic Black eyes with the Owl Builder punch and attach with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  For the back side, you only need to add the bunny tail with a Dimensional.

5.       Insert Primrose Petal cardstock into the Beautiful Wings Embosslit to create the butterfly for the front and attach with a Glue Dot.

6.       Attach the Primrose Petal Ribbons to the top and tie in a bow.
