Stampin’ Up! Chirstmas Gleaming – Positive Inkers Global Design Team

1 November 2020
14 Comments

1 Nov

 Hello Beauties,

Welcome you all to my blog again ! 


My today’s card for the Positive Inkers Global Design Team – November Blog Hop 
Blog Hop Theme: August – December Mini Catalogue – Christmas theme , using the below Sketch. 
I used the Stamp set ‘ Christmas Gleaming’ with the Co-ordinating Punch. I like to go with Vintage Style Christmas Cards this time, got inspiration from an Old Jute Bag. 
Here is the sketch used today,  
                                        

I used Crumb Cake as my base card followed by the layers Basic Black, Whisper White and Crumb Cake ( embossed using Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder )

First I used my scissors to thorn the edges of all the layering cards to give old look. I stamped the image randomly in the middle just like touching the embossed Crumb Cake Cardstock using the Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and sponged the edges using Crumb Cake Stampin’ ink using Sponge Daubers. 
I crushed the paper with my hand little to give old look. I don’t worry to tear some parts of the cards,
I stamped the image in the Crumb Cake Cardstock using Stampin’ White Emboss Powder, Punched it out and sponged the edges using Crumb Cake Cardstock to give dark shade. 

I stamped the Sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Black ink on Whisper White Cardstock and sponged the edges again using Crumb Cake Stampin’ ink, and added next to the image using Stampin’ Dimensional. I added some Crystal effect to the to give drop look and I added the Wink of Stella on the leaves. 

Measurements in Metric :

  • Base Card Crumb Cake A4 Card Stock :  27.8 cm by 10.5 cm (Cut at half on 10.5 cm on 21cm side , scored and folded at half on 14.9 cm )
  • First Layer Basic Black  : 10 cm by 14.4 cm ( 2 piece- 1 for inside )
  • Second Layer Whisper White: 9.5 cm by 13.9 cm ( 2 pieces – 1 for inside )
  • Third Layer Crumb Cake ( embossed piece): 9 cm by 13.4 cm 
  • Scrap piece of  Crumb Cake / Basic Black and Whisper White Cardstock

Measurements in Imperial : ( letter size card) 

  • Base Card Crumb Cake Card Stock : 8.5 ” By 11″  (Cut at half on 5 .5″, scored and folded at half on 4 1/4″  )
  • First Layer Basic Black  : 4  ” by 5 1/4″  ( 2 piece- 1 for inside )
  • Second Layer Whisper White : 3 3/4″  by 5 “( 2 piece- 1 for inside )
  • Third Layer Crumb Cake ( embossed piece): 3 1/2″ by 4 3/4″ 
  • Scrap piece of  Crumb Cake / Basic Black and Whisper White Cardstock
For the final touch I added the Elegant Faceted Gems where I coloured it black using Black Sharpie, and added Forever Greenery Trim Combo Ribbon with Linen thread as well. 
Hope you all like my today’s card. If any questions please feel free to contact me.

Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎 This mo Welcome to another Be Inspired Blog Hop! 🤎
This month, our theme is Die-Cutting, and I decided to highlight trees in my card design.

For my card base, I used Basic Gray, and I sponged the first layer with Blueberry Bushel to create depth and a lovely background for the colourful trees.
 I watercoloured the cardstock before die cutting. I love how this adds a unique touch and brings variation to each tree in colours.

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.
