Win this corset card!

This bodice is from the Girly Lace Stamp sheet that I designed for Joanna Sheen.

There are so many ways to use it whether it be stamping and colouring, paper pieceing, gilding, but for this card I used heat bondable Angelina fibres.  First of all I inked up the rubber stamp with Stazon Ink, then chose my fibres and layed them over the image, covered with a piece of parchment paper and held an iron on it for a few seconds until I could see the faint image of the bodice through the paper.  When I lifted  the  fibres off the stamp I had this lovely textured bodice.  I repeated the process over the bow and the rose so that I could layer them on top.  I punched holes down the middle and threaded some narrow ribbon.  To finish off I used fabric glue to sprinkle some sparkle fibres at the top and the bottom of the bodice.

I Stamped two lace borders embossing with them with white powder, the lace borders are from the Live each moment Lace set.  I then inked with the lovely new Tim Holtz Shaded Lilac distress ink, cut each one out and stuck them down the sides of the card.  I measured the middle gap, cut a piece of card to size and covered with some beautiful spider web netting, sticking it down on the back with tape.. and then sticking to the card ready to stick the bodice and Happy Birthday down with pinflair glue.

I hope you like it.

Would you like to win this card?  I've decided to extend  this due to the holiday weekend, so please feel free to leave a comment  anytime up to midnight Friday 31st August GMT if you are interested and I will randomly pick a winner.  

Thanks for visiting today.. see you soon

Wedding samples

All these samples are made using the Joanna Sheen Lace stamps

 (1) This first card is a folded piece of Black A4 card, folded along 2 DL  scored lines.  I have seen this idea for a heart flap on the web so decided to create my own, so I drew a heart template and used it to cut out the heart on the front flap on the black card. Then I cut another heart from some lovely pearly card but before I glued it to the front, I punched a small hole for the ribbon to poke through near the edge on the side and another hole at the same height level on the right side of the middle part. I also punched another hole on the black heart at the same level again,ready to thread the ribbon back inside. 

I printed out the details of the wedding onto some Ivoy paper cutting both this and a blank piece to the same size to fit in the panels. I stamped the Lace border along the top with black Ink then stuck them inside. Once I had done that I threaded the black ribbon  making sure it is level and only then did I stick the Ivory pearly heart onto the front securing the ribbon and it looks neat, plus the ribbon over the middle panel means that extra printed instructions or other info can be added and stay neatly in place.  I also added little pockets, these are cut to size a bit narrower, stamped and embossed with white powder, I edged mine with more black ribbon and stuck down with foam pads around the edges creating a pocket.  All the black card on the pockets and the right flap have pinstripes that I made with a stardust pen. 

 (2) This is a 6 x 6" cream card with the inside pockets added with foam pads.  The front panel is the small flower stamp on the Live each moment Lace stamp sheet stamped and embossed white onto a piece of black card.  Then I layed a piece of Ivory spiderweb netting on the top and taping it on the back to hold it in place. I stamped the Lace border onto black card with white embossing powder, cut out and added it to the panel, after I added a strip of black ribbon, I glued it to the front of the card. I made a simple cream Rose to the ribbon.  The Letters for Invitation on the fron are die cut with cream card using Tim Holtz Decorative Typeset Strip Alphabets die.

 Inside I added a black card panel.  Then I cut a piece of cream card the same width, stamped both the Lace Corners , trimmed to the shape then matt and layered onto black card and stuck it down with foam pads on the edges. I printed out the information, stamped the lace borders along the tops, added the black ribbon bow to finish it.

(3) This invitation used the Goals you reach stamp sheet.   Again it is 6 x 6" cream card.  I used an embossing folder on vellum to create the top panel. The lacey strip is also stamped onto vellum and cut out then stuck onto the embossed panel with thin DST, I added the red ribbon folding it round the edges and stuck it as one panel onto the card.  The Wedding invitation was stamped onto vellum with Mahogany distress ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

 Inside, again like the previous invite,  I added a panel with rounded corners. To get the exact border I used Mahogany distress ink to colour the edges of a panel and used that to mount the cream cut out panel onto and then timmed it.  I stamped 2 of the corner lace stamps onto vellum cutting the corner edges a bit bigger I scored and folded inwards, rounded the corners then I added pinflair to the folded pieces sticking them down lining them up to the edges. Then I printed out the info, stamped the lace border onto each piece with Mahogany distress ink, rounded the corners again and popped them in the pockets once the pinflair was completely dry.

(4)  This card invitation used the corner stamped onto a panel and embossed with white in each corner, then inked with Antique linen distress ink, then matt and layered onto red card leaving a panel at the bottom where I used a border punch. The layered panel and the words are also stamped, embossed and inked the same way.  Pretty spoty ivory ribbon around the panel and as a bow were added then I glued everything to the card base.

 The inside panel is a printout with the info  and a printed border.  I used the edge of the corner lace stamp to create the borders down the sides.. again with white embossing powder and inked with Antique linen ink.

(5) This card used the Take one step Lace stamp sheet.    On other invites I've made before (with pressed flowers) I have used a piece of long card to fold this type of card, but I don't have any large white card sheets, so I used 2 6 x 6" cards stuck together creating 3 sides. I cut one side to create the bottom flap.I used a pale green/grey colour thin card to add the panels shown.. The front raised piece has tiny white polka dots which I thought looked pretty.  I used both the hearts and the border from the stamp sheet on the front and inside

 For the lacey heart on the printed panels, I stamped with versamark and used chalk to colour, I didn't have the right colour so scraped the dust of a few colours mixing them until I was happy with the shade and dusted the stamped image with a brush.

 (6) This last card used the border from the sheet.  I stamped and embossed it with white powder 4 times then inked with blue distress ink, cut them all out.  On the 8x8" card, I glued a piece of white spider web netting cut to 6 x 6" in the middle of the net.  The middle can be anything, decoupage, a photo, a sentiment... I chose to use a Rose I made.  first I stuck down the borders using only 3 segmants from each border arranged as shown.  Then I added the rose in the middle.  3 pearls in 2 corners balanced the words in the other corners. I added a few punched butterflies too.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope I've inspired someone to have a go at using the Lace stamps to create your own invititions and cards.  

See you soon

LIM Week 67 One layer card

It's been ages since I made a card for the LIM blog challenge.  I have a bit of free time on my hands and decided to have a go.   I really enjoyed making this card for this week's one layer card using just 3 stamps.  I used 3 stamps from the sheet Joanna Sheen Knitting stamps., I have used one of the new spring colour distress inks by Tim Holtz - Peacock feathers...it's a gorgeous colour.

Here's my card for this week...

I stampted the Home sweet home heart directly onto the card first, masked it and the margins each side so that I could stamp the 2 borders in the same colour.  It would look really lovely in different colours too so I might have a go at that later.

Thank you for looking today

Cameo meets Anna Griffin

Here are some cards I made with the Lace and Cameo stamps with some of my stash.

I used some of the lovely Anna Griffin frame and quote stamps when they were on QVC a while ago.  The backing paper used on this card is from the Thomas Kinkade CD... there are some gorgeous backing papers on this fab CD collection that I use all the time. I used the square lattice embossing folder by SU for the cream panel.. I love this folder because I love the texture.  The Lace is from the Live each moment stamp sheet stamped onto cream paper with aged mahogony Tim Holtz distress ink.  Those lovely Roses are from a lovely pack of Anna Griffin Rose 3D stickers ... I love those Lol...

 Another similar card here but using the Tied together embossing folder inked one side on the folder with TH Antique linen before running through my cuttlebug.. I love this effect, it's so soft. I used two layers of white embossed lace that I coloured after with ink .. adding a bow from the same Live each moment Lace stamp sheet and two gorgeous Anna Griffin yellow 3D Rose stickers.

For this card I stamped one of the Cameos onto black card and embossed with Gilded Ivory embossing powder then die cut the cameo using a spellbinders oval die.  I then stamped one of the lovely Anna Griffin oval frames using the same embossing powder - layering the cameo over the frame.  Using a small 4" doily and some lovely black patterned card (which is card from packaging that I had to save!).. to tone down the white card I inked the edges using TH Antique linen ink.  Quite a simple card to make but I think looks fab!

I did the cameo the same way as above but stamped onto cream card and then inked it green...for the frame I inked TH Bundled sage green on the outside of frame and TH weathered wood in the inside.  I added some lace from the Take one step lace stamp sheet that was stamped and embossed with seafoam white and inked with the TH bundled sage green... this is layered over some  gorgeous  backing paper from the Ivory cats CD

This Card using the same technique used above to create this kind of cameo but this time using shades of pink ink to create the coloured cameo   The gorgeous backing paper is from the lovely Ivory cats CD.

Knitting Stamps

Sorry it's been a while, I did mean to add these Joanna Sheen Knitting stamp sample cards much earlier.

I made 4 cards for the shows but I cant wait to make more Lol..
Here is the first one.. a knitting bag card.

...and when you open it up it has all this inside...

To make this card I created my own template.. Feel free to download it and use it yourselves .. click on the image and save.

You will need to use the template to cut 2 parts and then you overlap the flaps on the bottom and glue them together... this makes the bag ready to embelish etc.
I used the template to cut out the paper to both line and cover the bag. I used the stamps to create the patterned paper for the inside, adding extra stamps from the Joanna Sheen Haberdashery range of stamps . For the outside I stamped the images first and then embossed them throught the cuttlebug using the Square lattice embossing folder by Stampin up. Acetate scored and folded created a little stand inside the bag to glue other bits and pieces that I stamped out using the Haberdashery stamps.. the little gift card holder is a piece of card with corners to hold the card.
The flap over the bag is also embossed with the square latice folder then glued to the back with velcro added for the front to hold the bag card shut with a button to embellish.
The handle of the bag is coloured with a Tan promarker pen. I used a die to create the rose but embossed it before rolling up.. to make a 'knitted' Rose..Lol..
.. This bag was alot of fun to make and I hope that some of you will be inspired to use the template and make one for youreselves, if you do, I'd love to see it.

Here is the second card I made...

I stamped the borders on the sheet in various colours direct onto the card. The lovely house is stamped from Joanna Sheen's Garden of dreams Countryside stamps and coloured with promarkers. The heart is stamped with a mixture of ink and then embossed through the cuttlebug with the Square lattice folder.

For the third card I cut out a square of card... embossed it with the square lattice folder... then pricked some holes and used wool to do blanket stitch around the edge. I then stamped the lovely knitted heart and the I love knitting stamp and added it to the card.

and here is the forth card

I stamped onto brown craft paper the borders and tile square.... making sure to stamp the ones I wanted white - with versamark to emboss with white powder. and then run it through the cuttlebug in the square lattice folder. (you might have guessed by now that this folder is fabulous for knitting theme or embroidery theme cards) I made a tassel out of the wool and added some under the little greeting.

Thank you for visiting my blog today... I hope I've inspired some of you to use the templates and have play too.
