Dove of Hope - watercolor technique

 

This amazing card is so easy to make and yet so elegant. There is a YouTube video by Beth Hill Rush that shows you step by step how to make. Thank you Beth for the awesome card and techniques. The supplies I used will be listed below since I did change a few things. I will also write out instructions below. I was amazed how well you can tell the difference between the white card front and the Dove. I used Shimmery White on the dove and our Fluid 101 watercolor paper for the card front. Here is a list of the supplies I used. 

All supplies Stampin' Up! unless noted

Stamps: Dove of Hope

Ink: VersaMark and Misty Moonlight

Ink Refills: Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

Paper: Misty Moonlight and Whisper White cardstock, Silver Foil, Fluid 101 Watercolor paper and                 Shimmery White
Accessories: Stamp, Cut and Emboss machine, Magnetic Cutting Plate, Detailed Doves dies, Simply             Scored scoring tool, Paper trimmer, Paper snips, Tear & Tape, Silver embossing powder, Heat tool,         Water painters, Silver metallic pearls. Tombo Multi purpose liquid glue, Simply Shammy, Stampin'         Scrub, Stamparatus, Stampin' Dimensionals, Take Your Pick tool, Embossing Buddy (retired)                 Watercolor palette (not Stampin' Up!) I also used Ornate Layer dies*

Instructions:

Card Base: Misty Moonlight 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", Silver Foil 4" x 5 1/4" (*I used the Ornate Layer die in the         center to die cut a piece to use on another project later, since you only see a small portion of the            silver), Watercolor paper 5" x 3 3/4"

Inside panel: Whisper White 4" X 5 1/4"

Dove: Shimmery White 

Place one drop of ink refill in lid of ink pad or in separate wells on a watercolor palette. Using a Sharpie I labeled each color (You can remove the sharpie writing later with paper towel and hand sanitizer. 

Lay the Tear & Tape on Watercolor paper where you want your color to go. Hold in place and use largest Water painter wet the entire circle, squeezing the water painter to keep it really wet. You can now remove the tear tape. Use the Medium water painter and squeeze a drop of water in each well with re-inker. Pick up ink and touch near the edge of the wet circle and ink will run, keep adding color until you have the desired amount. Squeeze water painter over your Stampin' Scrub to get wet and wipe off color before moving on to the next color. I did the Balmy Blue first the the Highland Heather and the Misty Moonlight last. Set aside to dry.

Die cut the Dove body and two of both detail and solid wings. I added liquid glue to solid portion and left the rest unglued. Glue one wing to back of body upward and one to front between the back wing and tail of body. 

When your watercolor paper is completely dry  rub where sentiment will go with embossing buddy or dryer sheet. Stamp sentiment in VersaMark and pout on Silver Embossing Power. Tap off excess back into container. I store my embossing powder in a plastic sandwich size container. If you keep yours in original container use a scrap of paper to catch excess power and bend to make a funnel to pour back into container. Heat with Heat tool until shiny. Do not over heat as you can scorch your paper. 

Add silver and water color paper to card front. Add dove with Stampin' Dimensionals. Using the Take Your Pick tool pick up and place three Silver Metallic pearls to card. 

I placed the dove and sentiment both on my Stamparatus for perfect placement and stamped on Whisper White panel in Misty Moonlight. Then glued to inside of the card. Add the small dove also to back tap of envelope if desired. 

Whale swinging card

Love that the whale on this card swings back and forth. Here is the video I cased this card from: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/swingingtentcard/?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=.

I made the following changes: 1. I did not make it a tent card. 2. I turned the brad because I did not like the back showing. 3. I used the Whale of a Time designer series paper, putting the cut out portion on the inside. 4. I changed the sentiment. I left off the ribbon and embellishments. I used a turtle from the designer paper instead of stamping it. 5. I used Pretty Peacock as my card base. Pretty Peacock is not used in the paper but I feel is coordinate beautifully. I also stamped my whale in Pretty Peacock. 

All supplies used are current Stampin' Up! except for the mini brad and 1/8" hole punch, both are retired products.

Way to Goat spinner card

I wanted to make a spinner card and was going through my stamps looking for an image to spin when I came across the Way to Goat stamp set.

I chose not to color him in but just do some gray shadows following the artists lines. I will post below the products used and step by step instructions.

Playful Pets slimline cat and dog card

Two great cards and neither use any stamps or ink! Shocking I know. But I really love these cards. I tried to find the cards I cased but couldn't, if I find them later I will edit and give credit where credit is due. What is funny is that I saw these cards, made them and then looked at the cards I was inspired by and we used the same cats and dogs. Great minds think alike, right? I did use different paper for my background and I always have to add something to the inside. I did fussy cut the cats and dogs and popped them up. Also the cute words on both cards were cut from a sheet of the paper. The inside is a great place to use a dog from the designer paper that has been cut off on the edge of the paper. I think it is still adorable. For the cat card I opted for a ball of yarn from the paper I used as the background. There are stamps and dies that match this paper but I did not use them on these cards.

Have a Hoot owl on Round Tin

These awesome round tins are in the current Holiday catalog. With a size of 3 3/4" x 1 1/4" there is plenty of room to treats for your favorite goblin. I cased this topper with a minor change using the Have a Hoot bundle. The layering round circle dies fit perfect on this tin. I used a sponge dauber to sponge Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee on the white background. Stamped the Owl with Momento Black on white circle and scrap. Colored the owl on the scrap with Stampin blends, die cut and popped up with Stampin Dimensionals. I colored the moon with the dark Daffodil. The owl with the light and dark Crumb Cake, his wings with light and dark Rich Razzleberry, his feet with dark Crumb Cake and the branch with Light Soft Suede.

I couldn't decide about the Have a Hoot bundle. I wanted it but it wasn't at the top of my list. Then I saw someone make a card similar to this and that was it. I had to have it.

There is also five great coordinating sentiments. So with this stamp set you can make all your Halloween and Christmas cards. The dies that come in this bundle are amazing.

Love of Leaves Slimline card

 

Here is my version of the popular Slimline card. I am really loving the Love Of Leaves stamp set and coordination dies. I have seen a lot of cards where they cut a leaf out of the card front and put designer paper in the negative space so I thought why not do three leaves with three different patterns of designer paper. I thought even with the three different papers it still needed something subtle to fill the white space and chose to use the Birch background stamp in Mint Macaroon stamped off. I really like how it turned out. I then took one of the cut out leaves and added it to the inside tucking the stem under my sentiment piece with one petal over top. I then added a sentiment to the bottom and some linen thread. I am happy with the result. All supplies are from Stampin' Up! and available at my online store at www.Janetloves2stamp.stampinup.net
