Warm & Toasty Stampin’ Up Christmas Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Welcome to another Warm & Toasty Stampin’ Up! Christmas Card! Today I’m using the cute Skating Polar Bear. I love it when there’s lots of white in the image, less colouring!! – Even tho I love to colour, I it means I can create quicker!

Warm & Toasty Stampin' Up! Christmas Card by Alisa Tilsner

I actually started with my Ink Blending on this card first so I could tell if the colours would blend nicely together. I think they did, don’t you? I waited a little while, coloured the Polar Bear, cut him out etc. Then I thought I’d white emboss the snowflakes towards the top. (I forgot to do it before the ink blending!) But then this happened!

It appeared my ink was still a little damp and the embossing powder wanted to stick to it. There was NO WAY I was going to start over again. I gave it a really hard flick to the back of the card, and most of it came away. I then used a paint brush to remove more of it off around the snowflakes. There is still some on there, but I didn’t have to start again.

Warm & Toasty Stampin' Up! Christmas Card by Alisa Tilsner

Stampin’ Blends Colouring Tutorial

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards, Videos

Hi Everyone!! If you’ve been following my Facebook Page, you’ll know I’ve been playing around with colouring again. Today I have a Stampin’ Blends Colouring Tutorial for you featuring the So Much Love Stamp Set.

Let’s take a look at the Video first.

Here’s the card that I’ve created using both the flower images.

Stampin' Blends Colouring Tutorial featuring the So Much Love Stamp Set.

I used bits and pieces from different bundles in this card, so I’ll walk you through it.

The base is Old Olive, and I’ve done some light sponging around the sides, but made it a little heavier on the corners.

My die cut is from the Hippo Happiness Bundle, and then embossed with the 3D Dainty Diamonds folder from the Peony Gardens Suite. I’ve used Blushing Bride for this, even tho I didn’t use it in the colouring of my flowers.

My Sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set, which I stamped in Flirty Flamingo. Punched out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.

A few little strips of Flirty Flamingo tucked under some of the elements, just to tie it into the flowers and give some balance.

A double bow and some sequins finish my card off.

Stampin' Blends Colouring Tutorial featuring the So Much Love Stamp Set.

The colour combo for this card is Old Olive, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flaming and a bit of Rococo Rose in the Flowers. – Graphic for you to save to your Colour Combo Pinterest Board.

Stampin' Blends Colouring Tutorial featuring the So Much Love Stamp Set.

Here are the main products used in my card.

So Much Love Stamp Set
Hippo Happines Dies
Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder
Flirty Flamingo Blends
Rococo Rose Blends
Old Olive Blends

Just a reminder that my All Things Fabulous Class by Mail closes on the 26th July.

Cheers for now, hope you enjoyed the video – Alisa

Warm & Toasty Colouring Tutorial

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey folks! I made you all a Warm & Toasty Colouring Tutorial 🙂

I switched the bow out to Old Olive and also created an Old Olive version of the card I made yesterday.

And here’s the Old Olive Version:

Warm & Toasty Wishes to You! Cute stamp set from Stampin Up

I picked out the Old Olive Pattern from the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper. I love anything spots and stripes.

Warm & Toasty Wishes to You! Cute stamp set from Stampin Up

This card is pretty much identical to the card I made yesterday but I did leave out the stitched circle from behind the little deer. Mainly because I was being lazy and could be bothered die cutting! I think it still looks good.

Warm & Toasty Wishes to You! Cute stamp set from Stampin Up

Which one do you like best? Poppy Parade or Old Olive?

I’ve made my first Christmas card for the year! I’m sharing a little sneak peek at Warm & Toasty stamp set. This stamp set is soooo cute!! Great for colouring! If you’d like a video on the colouring with Stampin’ Blends, please let me know. I’ve gone simple with the colouring 🙂

Warm & Toasty Stamp Set from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue.

The paper is the B side of a pack called Trimming the Town. Trimming the Town DSP is part of a Suite with the same name that has houses etc to make street scapes. I love the pattern B side though as it goes with anything, including my little deer.

Warm & Toasty Stamp Set from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue.

The Colours of the Stampin’ Blends are:

  • Cinnamon Cider Combo and Ivory for the Deer Body
  • Calypso Coral Light for the ears and cheeks
  • Poppy Parade Combo for the bow
  • Smoky Slate Combo and Basic Black Light for the hooves
  • Mango Melody Combo for the antlers

The DSP is Poppy Parade and Misty Moonlight

Warm & Toasty Stamp Set from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue.

Now, don’t forget that this month we have our Bonus Days. Every $90 spent will get you a coupon code that you spend in August for $9. So it’s like getting 10% extra to spend. Guess what August is? New Holiday Catalogue month!! This Warm & Toasty set is $38, but you could get it for $29.

I have another card in mind using a skating polar bear from this set, so I’m off to play again!

Forever Fern Hello Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey Friends!! I’m creating a Pinterest Inspired Card today in the form of a Forever Fern Hello Card.

Here’s my inspiration:

I didn’t look at it while I was creating, it was just in my mind as a base. I had thought of using all greens and trying the masking technique for the leaf images. Instead I just stamped and die cut them, and used a variety of colours.

Forever Fern Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! Card by Alisa Tilsner Cardmaking Stampin' Up! Card Ideas

So I’ve pretty much just used the layout in the end. I’ve never been any good at layering and bunching elements together, but I think it turned out pretty nice in the end.

Forever Fern Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! Card by Alisa Tilsner Cardmaking Stampin' Up! Card Ideas

The leaf die in the background looks like it could be a yellow colour, but it’s actually Gold Foil which I think sets it off nicely. The other colours are Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Pretty Peacock.

Forever Fern Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! Card by Alisa Tilsner Magenta Madness, Just Jade, Pretty Peacock and Gold Foil Colour Combination. Cardmaking Stampin' Up! Card Ideas

That’s it for me, enjoy your day, and Happy Stamping! Will you be stamping with Forever Fern too?

Hippo Happiness Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey Hey! I have a bright and happy Hippo Happiness Card for you today! Lots of Ink Blending in the background.

Hippo Happiness Card by Alisa Tilsner

A very tall and skinny card today too. The finished size is 7cm x 21cm. For this card I started out with a piece of scrap paper, draw a hill shape on it and cut out it out. You’ll need to place the reverse piece (not the piece you cut out) on the card and sponge with Granny Apple Green. Move your piece of paper, and sponge again. And once more, move your paper, and sponge.

For the pink area, I sponged (from the hill side) Powder Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo then Melon Mambo right at the top, blending them as I went. I then flicked some water over the pink area.

Hippo Happiness Card by Alisa Tilsner

And how cute is that little Hippo? She’s stamped in Blushing Bride first, then two step stamped with Melon Mambo. Her face is stamped with Basic Gray. The balloons are Bermuda Bay and Mango Melody.

Now I know that I’ve used quite a few colours in the card, but here’s your Colour Combo graphic for Pinterest with the main colours that stand out.

Hippo Happiness Card by Alisa Tilsner

If you haven’t seen my video on how to Ink Blend with Stampin’ Up! Inks, here it is 🙂

If you have any questions about the card, feel free to send me a message! Hope you like my Hippo Happiness Card.
