Cherry Cobbler Christmas

 

Hi stamping friends, here is tonight's card for the Art With Heart Instagram Hop. I have used the Jolly Holly Bundle with the Stamp Set and Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies. This clever Embossing Folder embosses and cuts at the same time( when the dies are inside the folder). 


I cut a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock with the hybrid folder and applied Dimensionals to the back of all of the leaves. So that the leaves really popped I applied Tombow Glue behind the berries and the flat/background areas of the embossed piece.


The greeting was stamped on Gray Granite card stock and heat embossed in Gold. I used the Unbounded Dies to cut the greeting in three layers, Cherry Cobbler and Gold Foil. 


The cute berries are from the Cherry Cobbler and Pearl Adhesive Backed Berries. For a final bit of gold shine I added a piece of Season of Elegance DSP behind the embossed piece. If you would like to follow the entire Insta Hop please head to my Instagram page at @handstamped_by_rachel.

Next Wed I will away from internet connection in my caravan but I hope to have my Coastal Cabana project to share with you anyway.

Thanks,

Cajun Craze Rustic Centerpiece


Hi Stampers, the card I have to share tonight was made for the Art With Heart InstaHop featuring Cajun Craze.


I stamped the Sunflower image in Memento Black ink on Very Vanilla card stock and coloured with Blends Markers. The colours I used are listed below. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. I wanted the two rows of text to be on separate strips so I stamped them separately.
 

The image was cut out with Everyday Arches Dies, and mounted on a larger arch from Cajun Craze card stock. The background DSP is from the Boho Vibes pack. There' a piece of Linen Thread wrapped around the bottom of the image.

Bubble Bath Cake Celebrations


 Hello stamping friends, I made tonight's card for our team InstaHop with the Art With Heart Team.

Every week we have been featuring one of the Stampin' Up! colours Tonight we are featuring Bubble Bath, a lovely soft pink.

I have used the Cake Celebrations Bundle, which is currently on the Last Chance List. 

This card is called a Fancy Fold called a Swing Card


The cake is stamped in Bubble Bath ink and the stand in Smoky Slate. The leaves and the background circle are Pretty Peacock card stock. The tiny flowers are Bubble Bath and Berry Burst that have been painted with a Wink of Stella pen.


For the background piece I stamped a piece of Basic White card stock with the Painted Stripes stamp in Bubble Bath ink. The DSP on the front of the card is from the Beautiful Bokeh Pack.


The greeting panel on the front is Bubble Bath, with the greeting stamped in Pretty Peacock ink. The greeting on the inside is stamped in Berry Burst.


I cut the circles on the flip panel with my favourite dies, Stylish Shapes. The front greeting is cut from a die in the Unbounded Love Dies.
