Sun Prints DSP

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Sun Prints DSP

~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project may look familiar, that is deliberate!

At a previous class, there was a lot of love for this project, and I was asked for something similar but with a masculine feel. I don’t like to disappoint!

Also, you know that I’m not one to turn down an opportunity to create one of my stripe projects!

This card uses the Sun Prints DSP as the stripes. Night of Navy and Gray Granite, along with Basic White, the colours from the paper, provide the the coordinating items.

The stripey background is made, then given a some extra inking around the edge using a Blending Brush.

A length of the Shimmer Ribbon sits across the project.

Leaves cut from the Bough Punch and the Flowers & Leaves Punch are given a touch of extra colour and sit behind.

Happy Birthday is from the Lovely & Lasting Stamp Set and cut out with the Lasting Label Punch from the Bundle.

Another stem of leaves sits to the side. Using Dimensionals, the sentiment piece is then stuck to the project.

Finally, some coordinating Solid Faceted Gems are dotted around the project.

Don’t miss my announcement about Card & Cuppa classes later today.

Finishing Up Friday – Brilliant Wings & Sun Prints DSP

~ Karen Young

This week’s Finishing Up Friday uses some of the many pre-cut butterflies from the Brilliant Wings Dies that I have in my stash.

I know I only shared a butterfly project with you a few days ago, but I have a lot of pre-cut ones ready to use!

This project is a monochrome design and uses the Brilliant Wings Dies and Sun Prints DSP.

It is a version of this project I designed for my Fabulous Florals online class during lockdown back in September 2020.

For this version, the DSP is Night of Navy and this chose my colour accents to work alongside Basic White. I really love the depth of colour and the mottled effect of this sheet of DSP.

Using my pre-cut butterflies, these are layered randomly onto the strip and the overhang is then cut away. Some of the cut away pieces then filled some of the remaining gaps.

A sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set is stamped on a cut out from the Stylish Shapes Dies. This sits on a thin strip of the DSP to make a contrasting background.

The whole sentiment piece is then raised up on Mini Dimensionals.

Finally, some Basic Rhinestones are scattered around the butterflies.

Sun Prints Suite & Stripes

~ Karen Young

I haven’t shared a stripes project with you for a while, so this Best Wishes card seemed like the perfect opportunity!

It uses items from the Sun Prints Suite Collection, the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set & Natural Prints Dies Bundle and Sun Prints DSP. These are in the Annual Catalogue.

I took my colour combination of Gray Granite, Night of Navy and Basic White from the sheets of DSP I was using.

The DSP strips create a stripe background, using one strip in the middle and two other patterns to mirror on either side.

Next, using a Blending Brush and coordinating Ink, I added some extra colour around the edges.

A length of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon sits across the stripes.

The flower is stamped and cut out using the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set and Natural Prints Dies. A Blender Pen then colours the flower.

Leaf shapes are also cut from the Dies.

For the senitment, I used a Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the ‘Best Wishes’ part of one of the stamps. This is then also cut out using the Dies from the Sun Prints Suite Collection.

All of the pieces are then stuck to the project, with the sentiment raised up on Dimensionals above the Ribbon.

Finally, a few Iridescent Rhinestones are added for a touch of sparkle.

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Sun Prints Suite Collection

~ Karen Young

After a three week break due to Bank Holidays and my own holiday, Card & (Your) Cuppa returned with this pretty project.

Sun Prints Suite Collection. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

It is inspired by the projects on Page 92 of the new Annual Catalogue.

This card uses items from the Sun Prints Suite Collection (Nature’s Prints Stamp Set, Natural Prints Dies, Sun Prints DSP, Fern 3D Embossing Folder).

The colours in the DSP are the reasons for my colour combination of Gray Granite, Night of Navy and Basic White.

Using the shape of the sentiment piece, cut from the Natural Prints Dies, it is drawn round to mirror the shape onto the piece of DSP.

The DSP is stuck to the embossed piece of Basic White cardstock.

A sentiment from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set in Night of Navy has die cut leaves stuck both under and on top of it.

Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon is stuck behind it, before it is attached using Dimensionals.
