Simply Succulents Water colouring

 Simply Succulents Water Colouring

Today I was playing around with the Water Painters, Water Color Paper and some Classic Ink Pads. I love the cute little pot that comes with the Simply Succulents Stamp Set. I went with the Terracotta Tile Card Stock. I thought that was quite fitting. I stamped the large succulent image onto the card front using the Terracotta Tile Ink. I'm really happy with the look, it makes for a great background. 

All the supplies I used are listed below. Click on any image to go to my Stampin' Up! store.

 Birthday Jubilee Scrappy Strips

I decided to try a technique called "Scrappy Strips" or "Paper Strips". It's a great way to use up all those leftover pieces of Designer Series Paper. I really enjoyed this technique!! So many different possibilities!! I used my all time favourite DSP, Magnolia Lane!! 

I used Basic Black Card Stock 5" X 3 3/4" as my panel to glue the strips onto. Use Multipurpose Glue so that the strips are well adhered. 
I cut my strips at 1/2" wide and 3 at 8" long. I started with the middle longest strip, leave a small gap between each strip. Then I added one more long strip on each side of the middle strip. Then continue adding strips 90 degrees from the first 3. You can use up your shorter strips for this part. The strips will hang over the edge, after you have finished trim away the excess. I embossed this panel using the Subtle Embossing Folder. I then glued this panel onto another piece of Basic Black Card Stock measuring 5 1/4" X 4"and attached it to my Petal Pink card base.
I stamped Happy Birthday onto a piece of Whisper White Card Stock and angle cut both ends. I stamped 3 flowers from the Birthday Jubilee stamp set, coloured them with Stampin' Blends, (Petal Pink and Mossy Meadow) and cut them out with my Paper Snips. The sentiment and flowers are attached using dimensional and finished off with some Rhinestones. I had a lot of fun making this card! Give it a try!!

Happy Stamping And Creating!!
Stay safe!

Animal Outing Wild About You!

The critters in this set are adorable! 

The card base is Early Espresso. I stamped the frog with leaves in Pear Pizzazz onto a Pear Pizzazz layer then embossed it with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The Basic Black and Whisper White pieces are die cut using Stitched So Sweetly Dies. On the Whisper White piece I stamped the Giraffe in So Saffron and the sentiment in Old Olive. I die cut 2 of the leaves in Pear Pizzazz and tucked them behind the art piece. A small loop of the Burlap Braided Trim is attached under the Basic Black Rectangle. That's the card front........now for the inside......

A cute pop-up Rhino is inside to say hello!!!

I also added another Giraffe, Frog and Leaves on the inside.










The Rhino is stamped in Basic Grey onto Whisper White Card Stock, and stamped again onto the Silicone Craft Sheet and very quickly place your Whisper White C/S onto the stamped image and rub with an Acrylic Block to transfer the ink onto the C/S. This is how to get the reverse image of the Rhino for your pop-up. I used Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin' Blends to colour the grass and bird. Cut both out. Attach a 1/2" X 2" scored at 1/4" strip of Whisper White C/S behind both of the Rhino's, trim off excess, the tabs face out and the score line is flush with the edge. Glue just the top of the Rhino's head and ears and birds together, add Multipurpose Liquid Glue to both outside edges of the tabs, position tabs right onto the score line inside of card, close up the card and let dry. When you open up the card, this little cutie greets you!! 

Tina's Crafty Ink Spot has a great Video on how to do this style of pop-up, thanks Tina!!
