3D Icecream Sundae Tutorial

I made this card ages ago when I first received the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits.

I have a short tutorial on how it was made.

 

I cut the Sundae dish shape from the framelits from vellum.

On the Stampin' Up! Piece Mat, I used the stylus from the Scoring Tool to draw the lines and dots on the dish.

 

 

To shape the dish, with the dish still on the Stampin Pierce mat I used the end of an Aquapainter, and small firm circles.

 

 

I attach the dish to the card, apply glue from the Fine Tip Glue To the edges of the dish.

 

 

Then hold the dish in the correct shape on the cardstock for numerous seconds to let the glue set.

 

 

I used the same technique on the Icecream scoops to also give them a 3D effect.

I attached the Icecream scoops with a couple of layers of Dimensionals under the scoops.

 

 

 

The Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits can be purchased as a bundle HERE.

Contact me for further details.

 

Happy Stampin,

Rachel

 

Art With Heart Easter Blog Hop, Hop, Hop

Today I am participating in a blog hop along with the super talented ladies in the Art With Heart Team. We thought it would be fun to share some Easter projects, seeing as Easter is only about 3 weeks away!

Blog Hops are full circles, so you can start hopping here and then at the end of each post is a link to the next one. There is also a list of participants at the end in case of any broken links. Now let’s get started!

The cards I have for you today were made using the Basket Bunch stamp set and the Basket Builder Framelit Dies. I love these cute Easter images, and you can save 10% if you buy the stamp set and framelits in a bundle.

On this card I put the bunny in the basket with a couple of the die cut Easter eggs. I made the grass die cut behind the bunny a little wider by cutting it in the middle and putting the basket over the gap.
The greeting used here is from the Crazy About You stamp set.

This card is about as easy as it gets, but its my favourite for today. I stamped and coloured three bows from the Basket Bunch set, two in Flirty Flamingo and one in Watermelon Wonder(I'm going to miss this colour when it finishes end of May!), then hand cut them as I didn't want a border around them.
The eggs are die cut using Basket Builder Framelits, from Affectionately Yours DSP. The greeting is from Crazy About You stamp set.

The next card is not an Easter card, although it could be with a different greeting. I wanted to demonstrate that the Basket Bunch set is not only for Easter. I have stamped the daffodil flowers on Delightful Daffodil (appropriate, hey!), and coloured a little with a blender pen in Calypso Coral and the leaves and grass on Cucumber Crush (another retiring colour). The remaining flowers are coloured with a blender pen using Calypso Coral and Pink Pirouette. Again, the greeting is from the Crazy About You stamp set.

Saleabration is a great time to join or place a $90 order to get extra free items – ask me how!
By purchasing the Basket Bunch Bundle and a set of blender pens you qualify for a FREE Saleabration gift! Here are a few of the options, contact me for more information.

Here is the third and final release of Saleabration rewards.

The next hop one our blog hop is back to the amazing Judy May and her beautiful projects.

Art With Heart Kids Party Blog Hop

 

 Today I’m excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team. 

Today we focus on the kids in our lives, from birthday cards to party ideas.

 

Sale-a-bration continues and this week we have three new additional items you can earn for free with a $90 order - ask me how!

 

I love the coloured glimmer paper that is one of the new Sale-a-bration rewards. I was excited to combine all three colours on these kids cards.

 

 Glimmer paper and Cool Treats framelits are combined with Cupcake and Carousel DSP stack on this card. The Stitched Oval thinlit adds a bit more detail.

The second card uses SAB glimmer paper, Balloon Adventures and Birthday Bright stamp set.

For the background on both cards I've used Timeless Textures stamp set to add a vintage feel to the cards.

Make a Medallion stamp set

I love the look of this new Sale-a-bration set, but I was a little nervous about lining up all of the circles. This was unfounded as firstly the set is photopolymer and very easy to use and secondly the circle are arranged so that two are one each stamp, as pictured on the cover.  

 

Here are two cards I made using this set.

 

The card on the left uses Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe, wth a tiny smidgen if Mint Macron Glimmer paper which is another Sale-a-bration reward. The card on the right is Tip Top Taupe, Black Memento ink and Copper Embossing powder. Love this combo.

Sale-a-bration is already half over, finishing on the 31st of March. Don't miss out on these offers. Contact me for more information.

 

Happy Stampin,

Rachel.

 

New Sale-a-bration Rewards

I'm finally getting organised after the kids returned to school. Today I had my first play with one of the new Sale-a-bration rewards, the 3pack of glimmer paper in Bermuda Bay, Mint Macron and Sweet Sugarplum.   Here's what I made...

I LOVE how the glimmer paper co ordinates perfectly with our colour range.

Back soon with a sample using the Mint Macron glimmer paper.

Happy Stampin,

 The projects I have for you today both use the new stamp set High Tide, Firstly,  using lots of heat embossing...

On Night of Navy I heat embossed the lighthouse with white Embossing powder. The shore is stamped in Night of Navy. The water is stamped in Versamark then a combination of clear Embossing powder and Dazzling Diamonds. The beam of light is stamped in Versamark and then embossed in a combination of white EP and Dazzling Diamonds.  Lots of embossing, but I love the effect. The second card is more colourful.

  I stamped the lighthouse first to ensure that it was straight. Then the shore. I masked the lighthouse and the shore before stamping the water in Dapper Denim and Pool Party. The sky was sponged with Soft Sky. The birds and the greeting are stamped in Basic Gray.
