In The Moment with Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop

Today is my very first blog hop with the Let's Craft Together Design team! We are collection of Australian Crafters coming together once a month to share our projects with you. This months theme is a super cool TIC TAC TOE challenge. Be sure to continue to hop through all the other amazing projects and blogs. 

Shh its my mums birthday soon so I have created a Birthday Easel Card using some new and existing products from the Annual Catalogue.

Here's the challenge picture...I've gone diagonally thru the middle with BIRTHDAY/DSP/EASEL CARD

Lets take a closer look at this card. Here are some of the colours and products Ive used.

I have always loved to personalise my cards and using the Alphabest Stamp and punch makes this so easy. Now I can create any name, phrase or sentiment I want. 

Decorating the inside is just a must.. you'll notice a quick outfit change on the inside. To create this look stamp your image onto different cardstock and fussy cut the pieces you want to use. You could create a mixed wardrobe of hats and dresses!

Loving the warm deep tones in this colour combo

Celebrate Sunflowers & White Wash Technique

Today I have a new card for you using the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. I also want to share my version of White Washing! It’s very easy and very effective. Scroll right to the end to see how I made this card. 

Here’s a closer look at some of the front detail. 

This bundle is gorgeous and great value at $89 AUD plus postage.

After preparing the base (score in half at 14.9cm & 6.5cm for the easel) sponge the edges of both the Cinnamon Cider frames. I find a dauber is easiest & cleanest too! Don’t worry if it seems dark, the colour will lighten when dry. 

Next prepare the front Highland Heather panel. Turn your inkpad of the same colour upside down and use this as the ‘stamp’. Gently stamp around the edges until you have created an interesting pattern.

Ta-dah!

Next in black ink, stamp the sunflower and leaf image around the Highland Heather panel. 

Now for the ‘white washing - it’s easy just take a white colouring pencil and colour in the petals & leafs of the flowers.

Sponge the flower centres with a dauber for extra colour. 

Don’t forget the inside panel!

For the sentiment, “stamp off” the sunflower so that you stamp the 3rd generation, stamp the sentiment in black and die cut or cut out the image.

Create another flower in black ink for the inside of the card, use dimensionals to prop it up the easel has something to rest up against.

Assemble and adhere all the pieces together

Best Route - Happy 10th Birthday

While I wait for my new catalogue goodies to arrive, I thought I better use the (now) retired DSP stock to make some quick card fronts. Here’s the first card I’ve completed, I imagine the rest will be somewhat similar!

I love find new way to use my punches. Here I’ve created a sentiment label by using a 2cm (3/4”) strip of whisper white cardstock. I have so many strips left over all the time, this is a great way to use them up. 

The ‘Happy Birthday’ from Perennial Birthday (145760) fits this label perfectly.

Inside greeting from retired set ‘Birthday Wishes For You’

A touch of gold makes this card SHINE!

If you’re ever stuck for a colour combination just use the DSP as your inspiration
