Ornate Style in Pastel Colours

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey Everyone! I’m trying the Ornate Style in Pastel Colours today. Going really soft, I’m not sure if its even too soft?

Ornate Style in Pastel Colours. Going for nice soft colours in this card.

For this card I white embosses on Fluid Watercolour paper, and very loosely coloured over it with my inks using an aqua painter.

Eeek! you can see how bad I am with a craft knife here, but I feel that I need to remove all that extra white space from this image for some reason!

The colours I’ve used for this card are Soft Sea Foam, Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray. The back ground layer of Soft Sea Foam has been embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder.

Take care, and enjoy your cardmaking! – Alisa

Stampin’ Up! Young at Heart

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

I finally inked up the Stampin’ Up! Young at Heart stamp set! I just did basic colouring with image using my Blends, I didn’t get too fancy with shading or anything, just used the 2 combos for each element of the image.

We’re playing a Post it Forward game over on my team group, where you post your name and address, and when the next person posts theirs, you send a card to them. Hope that makes sense. I thought this might be a good happy card to send.

Stampin' Up! Young at Heart stamp set from the Annual Catalogue. Card made by Alisa Tilsner

I have used a STACK of colours in the image, I can’t even remember them all now, but the background DSP is from the Brights 6×6 Packs and are Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo.

The sentiment is from Rooted in Nature, thought it was perfect for our current world.

Stampin' Up! Young at Heart stamp set from the Annual Catalogue. Coloured with Stampin' Blends. Card made by Alisa Tilsner

So for today, I challenge you to get out a stamp set that has not been inked yet, have a play and send your card to someone in your address book.

PS you can see who won my Stampin’ Blends Giveaway on my Facebook Page

Ornate Garden Stamping Society Video Class

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

The first of the month means a Stamping Society Video Class is being released. This month we are sharing projects from the new Ornate Garden Suite.

click on graphic to download flyer

You may have recalled that I had created a video earlier in the month showing you how I coloured the flower image from Ornate Style stamp set, well I finally made it into a card, and saved it for today.

I loved how it turned out. After colouring, I cut the image out, and yes it is fussy cut. I even got my craft knife out to remove the white between the flowers and leaves!!

The background I ink blended Old Olive with Daffodil Delight, ran through the die machine using Brick and Mortar Folder, and flicked a bit of water over the card. Finished off with a sentiment and a few sequins.

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards, Videos

Here’s another card I finally got made up! Using the Happy Birthday To You Sale a Bration Set and colouring with Blends.

Happy Birthday To You Sale a Bration Set

This one I fussy cut the image. Layered a few strips of matching colour behind the image. Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and So Saffron. Instead of embossing on Black like i normally would, I chose Grey to match the cake stand. A little bit of Silver Metallic Thread behind the cake, some Rhinestones and you’re done!

Here’s the video that went with this image.

And a Colour Combination Graphic for your Pinterest Board (let me know if these are helpful to you, and I’ll keep putting them here)

Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – Happy Birthday To You

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop for March!! This month the theme is Monochromatic!!

I’m using the Sale a Bration set Happy Birthday to You and have tried my hand at colouring to give a little bit of a Sepia look. I’m hoping I’ve pulled it off.

Happy Birthday To You Sale a Bration Set from Stampin' Up! Card by Alisa Tilsner

I stamped the Birthday Cake on Shimmery Card with Crumb Cake Ink, then coloured with Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Early Espresso ink and an AquaPainter.

I rarely use Very Vanilla card, but thought it would work best with the brown tones. I’ve kept the card pretty simple because I think the coloured cake is pretty busy looking.

And the Bling!! Well those Gilded Gems are new, being released in April along with the rest of the Ornate Garden Suite.

Ornate Style Birthday Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Some more colouring for me today, it helps me get lost in my own world instead of the one that’s out there. Today I made an Ornate Style Birthday Card, as in Ornate Style the new stamp set coming out!

Ornate Style Birthday Card, created by Alisa Tilsner

The card I kept simple, the colouring – not so simple! I stamped Saddle Brown Stazon onto our Fluid Watercolour Paper and just played. I put colours together that I normally wouldn’t to see what I’d end up with. Here’s a breakdown of each:

  • Leaves – Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green
  • Pink Flowers – Petal Pink, Caylpso Coral, Cherry Cobbler
  • Blue Flowers – Seaside Spray, Night of Navy
  • Yellow Flowers – So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Ornate Style Birthday Card, created by Alisa Tilsner

Close up to show you it’s not perfect, but I don’t care. I was over an hour of blissful colouring while watching Netflix. I figure now is the perfect time to spend practicing my colouring.

I’ll come back with a video soon to show you how I coloured it, so you can spend some time colouring with me too.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

I am so excited to share projects with you from demonstrator friends around the world all using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. I am honored to be a part of this design team and love that we can all share projects using the same DSP. Make sure to check out all the blogs (list at the bottom) and enjoy these projects from around the world.

For my card I’ve used the soft and feminine floral side of the Best Dressed Papers. I found that the Beautiful Friendship stamp set works really well the paper I chose.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! Card by Alisa Tilsner

I love how you can put large patterns with small patterns to give a nice balanced finish.

I’ve taken the sentiment from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set, and white embossed on Petal Pink card. I used the Painted Dies to cut out the sentiment and a little border edging to the bottom (from Mossy Meadow) Behind it, I’ve stamped a flower and some leaves from the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set in Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, and Mossy Meadow inks.

The twine is from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack, with a few sequins to finish off my card.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! Card by Alisa Tilsner

With so many paper patterns and colours in this pack, you really make a dent in your card stash!

So now it’s time to see what the rest of the Design Team has made using the DSP. Make sure to visit everyone to see all the fun things you can do with this paper.
