Stampin’ Up! Peace & Joy meets Detailed Doves

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

I have a very different card for you today where the Stampin’ Up! Peace & Joy meets Detailed Doves Dies.

Peace & Joy Card

I’ve started by cutting two of the detailed wings and two solid ones from Vellum. Flip one over, I know that the cuts are the wrong side, but it’s a minor detail 🙂 Curve up the wings and adhere to the solid wings, but only at the head of the wings.

I’ve embossed Peace onto vellum with gold, cut out with matching die. I also gold embossed On Earth on white card. The white label is from the Tasteful Labels Dies.

And how gorgeous with the Gold Foil? I’ve embossed it with Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. Finished the card off with a few Gold Sequins from the Sequins for Everything pack.

So, quite a different card from me don’t you think? What do you think of it?

No Layer, Quick Christmas Card with Poinsettia Petals

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

I have a really great No Layer, Quick Christmas Card with Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set.

One piece of cardstock (you will need an insert though) will make 2 cards.

Poinsettia Petals Christmas Card

Here are the step by step instructions to make the card:

  • Fold your Cherry Cobbler card base in half – mine is 10.5cm x 26cm scored at 13cm
  • Using a Blending Brush/Sponge/Brayer Cherry Cobbler Ink around the outside edges of the card like a halo.
  • Splatter some water over card. Allow to dry!
  • Stamp Sentiment and Poinsettia Flowers in Versamark on your card front. Gold Emboss the images.
  • Adhere Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to card front.

That’s it!! SIMPLE!! You could create these in ANY colour you like. Switch out the Gold for Silver or even White Embossing.

My big tip is to allow your card to dry before embossing. The sponging on your card might still be slightly damp and you’ll end up with embossing powder over the entire card – Ask me how I know 😉

Just another reminder that my Peace & Joy Class by Mail is closing on Friday. side note: Sorry but I don’t sell the PDF’s for my Class by Mails. My Artful Stampers Team Community do get them for free after the event.

Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey everyone!! I have got some Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Alternatives for you today. Have you got your kit yet? If not, you’ll need to get in quick, this kit is while stocks last!

The first two cards are made directly from the kit. These are BIG cards, well they feel big to me 🙂

Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin
Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin

The following two cards use all the kit contents, but I’ve just added a few extra pieces of card and the matching Cherry Cobbler inkpad.

Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin

Don’t you just love the font they’ve used in the Sentiments? The stamp set includes the flower, the wreath, and several sentiments. You’ll be able to keep creating your Christmas cards with the stamp set, long after you’ve used up your kit supplies.

For the top card I added Cherry Cobbler Card and Ink. I stamped the flower image and the little berry dots over the Cherry Cobbler Card with matching Ink.

For the bottom card, I added Soft Seafoam Card. It was just a scrap I had in my drawer which fit perfectly! I’ve stamped on the card with the Just Jade Ink that is provided in the kit.

Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin

Here’s a quick video to show you the contents and the cards I’ve made so far.

You can purchase your own Paper Pumpkin Kit HERE for just $37. If you’re not sure what Paper Pumpkin is all about, you can find extra information HERE

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Oh my Gosh! I’ve had this Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Card sitting by my computer ready to blog for nearly 2 weeks now!! It’s been a crazy couple of days with our Virtual Stampin’ Up! Convention.

But here it is!

Quite Curvy Card

I started out by stamping the vine and birds on Shimmery Cardstock with Stazon Ink. The vine is coloured with Mint Macaron and then Shaded Spruce Inks. The birds are coloured with Soft Suede, Flirty Flamingo and Crushed Curry. The dies cut them out beautifully!

My card base is Mint Macaron, with a layer of the new Classic Christmas 6 x 6 Paper pack in Shaded Spruce. White emboss the sentiment on a strip of Shaded spruce, mount to the card front. Assemble all your pieces and add some bling!

Click on the photos above to see the full list of supplies used in this card.

Remember that the Quite Curvy Bundle is from the upcoming Jan – June Catalogue, but the paper and the Christmas Set are only available while stocks last.

Why not think about joining my Artful Stampers Community and get the bundle in your starter kit.

Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Ink Art Triangle Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

So I was a good girl and I used my Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Ink Art play piece and turned it into a card using the Triangle Dies. It’s great to try new techniques as sometimes it forces you out of your comfort zone when creating your card. This card is far from my usual style, don’t you think?

After I’d created my piece of art on Vellum, I cut triangles from it using the Triangle Dies. I also cut matching pieces of Whisper White card and adhered them together.

Such a simple card, I mounted the triangles onto a Thick Whisper White card base. I die cut the small triangle strip from Cherry Cobbler and adhered it over the alcohol ink triangles. Finished with a sentiment and a scattering of Rhinestones.

The Triangle Dies are a really great way to showcase your Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Ink Art. In case you missed the video in yesterday’s post, here it is again.

I’ve got some other ideas brewing now too! This won’t be the last time you see me playing with this, it’s addictive!
