To start I have stamped the Little
darlings stamps on the ultra-smooth White card stock by Personal impressions
using Black Tuxedo Memento Ink which works well when colouring with pens.
Now for the therapeutic bit and the
colouring, I have used my Promarker pens for this project and the colours are
shown or listed in the photos. I have chosen a colour scheme for the images
based on the JBS collection as shown in Photo 1 which is pinks and lilacs.
All finished and ready to trim around and
to start the construction of the cards. I have cut the cute the characters into
panels for the cards today but you could fussy cut them out if you wish,
At this point of designing I have selected
the papers I would like to use from the pad and placed everything out so I can
see that everything works well before I start. I have rounded the corners on
the images using an X-cut corner punch. Once you are happy with your colours
and embellishments now we can start constructing the cards.
Firstly I have taken the A4 card sheets
and cut them to create 2 square card blanks (14.8cm is the trim line for this
shape).
Then using the 2 main backing pieces of
patterned paper I have trimmed them to squares measuring at 13.8cm and then I
have stuck them centrally on the card blanks.
Now it’s time to layer the other elements
to create the cards, I have used coordinating papers to matt and layer the
coloured images leaving an edge around each piece.
I am going to construct the card using the
image called ‘Abbi & Boots’ first, I am a believer in things don’t have to
be in neat rows all the time and with this one I have stuck the layers down off
centre and at angles for a fun effect. I have left a strip down the left hand
side so that I can then tie the 2 ribbons together down that side. The next
stage is to tie the pink twine on each of the 3 pink polka dot buttons and I
have then stuck these down alongside the ribbon.
Now I am working on the next image called
‘Shop Til You Drop’, this time I have gone with placing the layers on level and
straight, this time gluing the image down in the bottom right hand corner of
the card but again leaving the left hand side free for me to tie the 2 ribbons
together. On this card I have used the twine on the buttons again but this time
stuck them down along the top right hand side of the card.
Now it’s time to finish these super cute
cards off with some ‘bling’ using the Sparkly adhesive gems, I have added
details to the toppers and cards.
All finished and now we have a super cute
pair of cards. You can add a sentiment or even a chipboard number for a special
birthday or make more and make a notelet set for a special gift for someone.
Review of the Products used: Out of 5 Stars
I have to say I love stamping and these
stamps are exceptional quality and stamp perfectly and great for colouring. – 5 Stars
The card from Personal Impressions is
brilliant for colouring with pens as it doesn’t bleed or run due to being super
smooth – 5 Stars
Studio Light – JBS collection pad – I love
pastel colours and this pad is full of stunning papers to choose from and also
a great thickness at 170gsm per sheet – Great to use for all projects – 5 Stars
Eleganza Sticker Gems – This is the second
time I have used these gems and they stick to anything which is great as I have
had some in the past from other companies that I have had to use glue to stick
them properly. So well done Eleganza & Personal Impressions, they are great
– 5 Stars
Absolutely beautiful I love the stamps and your designs are wonderful I love the papers you have used.
