Birthday | Nikki Stalker Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator

It’s Blog Hop time again and this time we have a sketch.

If you are starting the hop here, welcome and I hope you like what I have created.

For my card I started out with a base card of Whisper White Thick which I have then added a layer of Old Olive that has been embossed using the Pinewood Planks 3D folder. Next I die cut a circle in Whisper White using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I’ve added a strip of Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo designer series papers from the Brights 6 x 6 DSP packs. I then die cut the ‘birthday’ in Old Olive using the Well Written dies and layered it onto a Whisper White piece which I created from tracing the die and then fussy cutting. Next I stamped and heat embossed in white the ‘WISHES’ sentiment onto Melon Mambo cardstock which is from the Well Said stamp set. Lastly I have stamped the floral image from the Four Season Floral stamp set in the Beginners Brochure onto Whisper White twice using Memento Tuxedo Black and then coloured using Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Once coloured I fussy cut them and mounted to the card.

Birthday Layers

Cards

Today’s card is using the ‘Layered with Kindness’ stamp set from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalogue.

I started out by stamping the leaf image directly onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink. I have stamped 3 times without reinking to give the different colour depth. I then stamped the flower image in Rococo Rose and the single leaf image in Seaside Spray onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock before fussy cutting. Next I wrapped a piece of 1/2″ Scalloped Linen Ribbon in Rococo Rose around my image piece. This has then been adhered to a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock using Mulitpurpose Liquid Glue. I have then stamped my sentiment image onto a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock using Versamark ink, heat embossed using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and then punched out using the Label Me Lovely Punch. I also stamped the image again using Pretty Peacock ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla and then punched out using the Label Me Fancy punch. I have mounted the Very Vanilla punched piece over the top of the Seaside Spray punched piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Next I added my flower and leaf images using either Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Dimensionals depending on their position. I’ve added a couple of Woven Thread Sequins in Seaside Spray before mounting to a Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
