Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch Archives

At last week’s Card & Cuppa class, I chose to create a monochromatic-style project.

I like creating designs that are in shades of the same colour, in this case, blue.

My colour combination was Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy. These colours are next to each other on the Colour Coach, a great tool available from Stampin’ Up!

First, the background was given a touch of colour using a Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon ink. This was in the area behind where the toadstools would sit.

Next, the toadstools and stalks from the Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set were stamped onto a separate piece. They were then cut out using a combination of fussy cutting and the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch.

A sentiment from the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set, from the Online Exclusives range was then stamped onto a long strip.

This was stuck to an Azure Afternoon strip across the project.

The toadstools were all assembled and the three larger ones were stuck to the project using a Dimensional at the head end and glue at the base. Glue Dots were then used to attach the smaller two.

Finally, three Iridescent Pearls were coloured in a Stampin’ Blend and stuck to the project.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project followed the ‘It’s all new to me!’ theme from this month’s Card Making Class.

For this project, I used the Terrific Toadstools Bundle. I’d looked at it for a while, and when I saw it was transferring over to the new Annual Catalogue it jumped into my basket!

I chose a bright and cheery colour combination with Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade caps and Lemon Lime Twist grass. Balmy Blue added some colour for the sky and Crumb Cake for the stalks and sentiment. Everything was set on a Basic White background.

First, the sentiment from the Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set was stamped.

Next, a hint of blue sky was created using a Blending Brush.

Then, the grass and different parts of the toadstools were stamped.

The two smaller stalks and all of the caps were cut out using the coordinating Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch. Fussy cutting was needed for the grass and large stalk.

All of the toadstools were then assembled and the scene was created with the smaller toadstools attached first. The grass section were added next, with the overhang cut away from the edges.

Finally, the centre toadstool was added using Dimensionals.

I think I’m definitely going to be creating more projects with this Terrific Toadstools Bundle.
