Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Autumn Ombre

~ Karen Young

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, the attendees made this pretty autumn ombre Birthday card.

It’s a CASE of a project I’ve made previously, but I chose autumnal colours and also used different stamp sets.

The colours were Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie, with Old Olive for the stamping and card layer.

Using some offcuts of cardstock, the section to ombre was masked off. It was then coloured using Stampin’ Pads and Blending Brushes. As the name suggests, these helped to mix the colours together beautifully.

Once the masking was removed, the leaf from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set was stamped on top.

An oval was cut out of the offcuts used for masking. It was coloured at the same time as the centre section. Then, a sentiment from the Medley Mix Stamp Set was added.

Next, three strands of Linen Thread were strung across the project. The sentiment then sits on top on Mini Dimensionals.

Finally, some Rustic Metallic Dots add a subtle touch of sparkle.

Birthday Card with Gorgeously Made Stamp Set

~ Karen Young

There wasn’t a Card & Cuppa class last week due to my annual break, so I’m sharing this Birthday Card I made for a friend.

My friend likes Crumb Cake and also purple, so I of course chose Crumb Cake, along with Moody Mauve. These were combined with Very Vanilla.

The Gorgeously Made Stamp Set provided the images. I then used a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink to add a more vintage look around the edges.

A length of coordinating In Color Textured Ribbon in Moody Mauve and Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack sit across the centre.

Happy Birthday is from the Circle Sayings Stamp Set and this is punched out and layered. Both circles are cut using the Circle Punches from the Online Exclusives.

As my friend also loves sparkle, I added some Wink of Stella to the berry parts of each stem. I’m not sure that you can see it properly in the pictures.

Finally, some extra bling was added using some Iridescent Pearls.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Gorgeously Made

~ Karen Young

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project I used the Gorgeously Made Bundle from the Annual Catalogue.

My colour combination is Berry Burst, Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. These colours create a lovely jewel-toned thank you project.

I decided to design a grunge-style card and the dies from the Gorgeously Made Bundle allowed this to happen really easily. It’s a great set of dies for those who don’t like to rip and tear!

The Very Vanilla piece is cut using the dies down each edge and then stamped with the stamps from the Stamp Set.

Blending Brushes and Crumb Cake are then used to add to the grunge effect. It also makes it look a bit vintage.

A separate leaf shape is cut out. The sentiment from the stamp set is also cut out using the dies and again given an aged look with a Blending Brush.

Using a length of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine, a swoosh is added, with the sentiment attached over the top with Mini Dimensionals.

Finally, some coordinating Pretty Peacock sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio add a little touch of understated bling.
