Sadly we had a very close family member pass away just before Christmas and it has taken time to come to terms with and move forward. Thanks for your patience. <p></p><p>However I'm back and now joining the Totally Techniques Global Stampin' Up! demonstrator blog hop. We are sharing tips and ideas for using the baby wipe technique in different ways. I created the back ground of the card above, the flowers and the leaves by using a baby wipe. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Mdk2xTKXqemXjTJHNG8rAKvoJdRBFzY-SrfbjIdFbZGfU_xk3aQJ2btomAjw8HJNcLR2k7IgsdX1SSC64LtdxZDb1gL-zbDhJvWOwBnuZOKuzFAWeAunISsOdREAb_uuGamEgq4b1eEnOkv9GZWOSD4WDlVmJwlRbQ7aVzJjFI-OBixc2BiFK5ygeqg/s2088/baby%20wipe%20technique%20with%20zoe%20tant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2088" data-original-width="1355" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Mdk2xTKXqemXjTJHNG8rAKvoJdRBFzY-SrfbjIdFbZGfU_xk3aQJ2btomAjw8HJNcLR2k7IgsdX1SSC64LtdxZDb1gL-zbDhJvWOwBnuZOKuzFAWeAunISsOdREAb_uuGamEgq4b1eEnOkv9GZWOSD4WDlVmJwlRbQ7aVzJjFI-OBixc2BiFK5ygeqg/s320/baby%20wipe%20technique%20with%20zoe%20tant.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ytDO6FDcqW4" width="320" youtube-src-id="ytDO6FDcqW4"></iframe></div><br /><p>Once you have created your scrunched baby wipe backgrounds you can die cut the sheets or cut to suit your needs for your card background. If you make your own ink pad you can then stamp and die cut lots of images and save them for other cards. The ink pad you create will last for several stamps! Be aware that the ink will continue to bleed across the wipe and will eventually not be a nice colour so you'll need to dispense with it then responsibly. Wash out your stamp case and keep for another technique or to repeat this one another day. </p><p>This is my second card which as you will see in the video I stamped the background and then added flowers and foliage along with gems and sentiment. I used the Hooray for Surprises stamps and dies to stamp pretty flowers and then die cut them and also the leaves. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSJQU4zXdK4adj1_5gWEBnQE5ErgTZR_E3GAPMK4Mz2y3sESpkL5Na2CPSz4NLRk4emyp-YPDgFMrdGGFdRfUyO1nn1Jfl6BYEygV8THIiVHocMqrZRHxMW7Arc8A3cwPGoPQgttyCn-VdPWBGGWt_lb4218c9C7i1mv5NUWNCHB6pI4i9oeDP0CHX5Dg/s2120/babywipe%20technique%20card%20making.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="handmade card created using the baby wipe technique" border="0" data-original-height="2120" data-original-width="1701" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSJQU4zXdK4adj1_5gWEBnQE5ErgTZR_E3GAPMK4Mz2y3sESpkL5Na2CPSz4NLRk4emyp-YPDgFMrdGGFdRfUyO1nn1Jfl6BYEygV8THIiVHocMqrZRHxMW7Arc8A3cwPGoPQgttyCn-VdPWBGGWt_lb4218c9C7i1mv5NUWNCHB6pI4i9oeDP0CHX5Dg/w514-h640/babywipe%20technique%20card%20making.jpg" title="diecutting card making tutorial for baby wipe technique video tutorial" width="514" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I hope you have fun having a go at this technique and that you will also continue on the blog hop for more ideas. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">thanks for popping by and come back soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hugs Zoe x<!-- start InLinkz code -->

It's my first go and I'm delighted how it turned out. The pretty papers enhance it of course, but by just cutting circles with a punch or die in different sizes you can create this swirl effect pattern with any overlaps or mis cuts hidden under the sentiment strip. <p></p><p>Yes just cut 3 circles of different sizes and cut them in half. To make it easy fold them gently and pinch the ends of the fold to give you a cutting line. Then all you need to do is layer them and connect the patterns a little with the joins then being covered with your sentiment. </p><p>I added some stamped and punched flowers using the Petal Park stamp set. Although you can't tell in the picture I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp the flowers and sentiment and then to add a matt layer. It's not a colour I reach for often, but with a small amount on the DSP used it hightighted the designs and enhanced the pretty pink. </p><p>Using some flat backed pearls add a touch of luxe and the irridescent nature of the them added subtle shimmer. I also love the fern 3D embossing folder. </p><p>As a final touch I used a couple of markers to add some dots to carry the colour theme through the design, you can just spot them in the bottom right of my picture. </p><p>I hope you give this easy technique a try which looks great with patterned papers, plain card stock in different colours or something sparkly too. </p><p>Have a great week.</p><p>Happy stamping hugs Zoe x</p><p><br /></p><p>Supplies Used</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For mine I've used a new online exclusive stamp and die set called Garden Meadows. I stamped tone on tone for the background stripe using the hand fork and rake tool stamps. I've added a happy birthday from the same set and then stamped on white card the pretty wheelbarrow full of gorgeous flowers which I've coloured simply with alcohol markers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">A touch of trim continues that garden theme as it is like garden twine, but pretty and some sparkly silver sequins as you know I like my bling. The two sections of paper are from the fabulously mixed, but all usable, Delightfully Eclectic paper stack which includes 48 sheets of 12 x 12" papers. There are 4 of each of 12 double sided designs. You can do so much with DSP like this. The colours in this design include Petal Pink and Crushed Curry. I coloured with blends in Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Lemon Lolly. So happy with the result. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The best things is that many of these products are included in the Stampin' Up! seasonal sale on today through to Thursday night.

We are sharing the Bordered Sentiment technique. It's very simple. All you need to do is create a mask across your design layer and then stamp above and below or if you do it vertically to the left and the right. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For my mask I used some masking paper and first stamped the wheel barrow above the mask. I adjusted my mask to then stamp below it allowing the mask to stop any part of the stamp image I didn't want to show. If you look carefully you'll see I used the wheelbarrow stamp upside down to just stamp the flowers on my card. Both images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with alcohol markers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I used a strip of white card to go over the area originally masked. I didn't quite get my initial wheelbarrow stamp to drive right on the line of this piece so stamped the wheels and cut the card to make the partial image connect with the full wheelbarrow. A mishap recovered. I finished by stamping my sentiment which is part of a new online exclusive stamp set and suite of products launching on 7 November called Meandering Meadows. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I added a matt layer of Lemon Lime Twist card and some gold brushed dragonflies which are in this new suite and some gold thread to highlight the sentiment add on piece ie border it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It's been a busy week here with lots of local flooding. Thankfully we only had a small issue which pumped out quickly and is drying, but our thoughts are with those more badly hit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Take care all and keep stamping. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Zoe x<!-- start InLinkz code -->

I used rhinestones for the berries because I love bling and die cut the Happy from silver foil card. TOP TIP add double sided adhesive sheet to your piece of foil card before die cutting as it makes it much easier to adhere to your project and removes sticky smudge risk on the foil. </p><p>I matted my stamped layer on to some patterned paper (DSP) before adding to my base card, and a simple quick design was made. My customers have enjoyed making this card at the Christmas Card Buffet sessions also as they love the speed but the wow factor. It would look great in traditional festive colours too don't you think? </p><p>Keep dry all, it's raining all day here and one of those dirty days. My thoughts are with customers and local folk who have been flooded recently. We got off lightly so are very grateful. I hope everyone is able to keep as dry as possible. </p><p>Take card and keep crafting it is good for the soul. </p><p>Hugs Zoe x</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">LAST FEW DAYS TO JOIN MY STAMPIN' UP!

This month we are sharing ideas and tips for the reverse masking technique. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It's an easy one to do and you don't need many supplies. This is how I created mine. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpdePyvnI4gBCahdH-liqlWGs99zF6ZTJnCvOgNNVnIIcqm0CJMf4mD5wD7m3EzNzPhs2s2PYrmsC4SDyc28SsyoX8vbqXX7a5TyR0uH3qtww-cNXSLD4LlNGfnYUBWsHIXrBHYtsw7e0-Em1KdBXxFHRxXyAWaf5e0L8jfK-M2a6a6eNb_Seyw6rbhR0/s2192/reverse%20masking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="handmade christmas card showing the reverse masking technique with zoe tant stampin up uk demo" border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="1644" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpdePyvnI4gBCahdH-liqlWGs99zF6ZTJnCvOgNNVnIIcqm0CJMf4mD5wD7m3EzNzPhs2s2PYrmsC4SDyc28SsyoX8vbqXX7a5TyR0uH3qtww-cNXSLD4LlNGfnYUBWsHIXrBHYtsw7e0-Em1KdBXxFHRxXyAWaf5e0L8jfK-M2a6a6eNb_Seyw6rbhR0/w480-h640/reverse%20masking.jpg" title="handmade christmas card rubber stamping masking" width="480" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I die cut a deckle edged rectangle and then used a decorative mask and blending brush to create a back drop for my design. I added ink over the exposed area of card. Leaving the mask in place I stamped the holly from Sending Cheer stamp set. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've added a sentiment which is stamped in red and gold embossing and then attached it to the debossed side of a dry embossed piece of green card. It's an easy technique that you can add to or make even simpler with no bling or embossing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Have fun on the hop and we'll see you again soon. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Zoe x<!-- start InLinkz code -->

I hope you have some great plans and that the sun shines on us all. For everyone else happy weekend and have fun.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Our Totally Techniques crew are sharing cards made using the Floating Elements technique which is fun and can be done in several ways. I've chosen to use vellum and card strips with some simply stamped images to create a pretty girly birthday card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Start by cutting a piece of vellum that is bigger than the circle die you are going to cut as your floating island. I used a large circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Carefully glue strips of card of varying widths across your piece of vellum again making sure that the strips are wider than the circle die you will use. You can vary the depth between each strip of card too, but may wish to think about laying the circle die onto your card and vellum to see where the edge of the circle is likely to cut as it gives a different appearance if card is at the top or vellum. Now you understand why I have added stamped images from the Sentimental Park stamp set at the bottom of my circle as it didn't look quite right with only vellum at the bottom edge. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Once you are happy with where the circle will dissect the card and vellum , die cut your circle. To attach this to your card base or a matt layer if you so wish you need to add Stampin' dimensionals to the reverse of the circle making sure that you position them on the back of the card strips so that they don't show through the vellum. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Finally decorate your circle as you wish and add some bling. As I mentioned I stamped and diet some simple two step stamping images and added a sentiment. I used some Pretty Peacock sequins to add sparkle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My colours include Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafood, Bubble Bath and Pretty Peacock. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Enjoy checking out the rest of the inspiration and technique tweaks and see you again soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Happy crafting </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Zoe x<!-- start InLinkz code -->

The theme for the hop is simply Christmas and card club this fortnight we are making and sharing makes with the theme of humour or anything goes. I think mine is loosely humorous, but definitely anything goes.<p></p><p>I am a member of the 2023 Sales and Promotion Demonstrator Council and was lucky to be sent the Sending Cheer bundle to create samples to share in our global demonstrator group. Our new winter mini went live to demonstrators this week and will be open for orders from the public in September so if you NEED to see it sooner then please do contact me about joining to get early access and the chance to order. </p><p>I made this card using the Santa hat die from the bundle which is primarily a tag die so I disguised the ribbon hole with festive pearls and I've also added a beard from the Gnome dies and coloured the nose with Bubble Bath marker. </p><p>I've added the sentiment using the So Very Merry and Celebrate with Tags stamp sets. It's an easy but fun card and a quick make which is what we all want for our handmade Christmas cards isn't it!</p><p>The design is layered onto black and real red card stock to coordinate with Santa's regular outfit. </p><p>Enjoy the hop and don't forget to come back tomorrow to visit the Card Club ladies via the link above for lots of humorous card ideas. </p><p>Thanks for popping by and happy crafting </p><p>Zoe x<!-- start Blog Carousel script -->

Take a piece of watercolour paper and lay it onto of the bubbles and hold it gently. As the bubbles pop move it over to another cluster of bubbles. You'll get different sized bubble pops depending on the bubble size. Therefore if you like a large open design be sure to keep adding air to make big bubbles. If you pop any bubbles on the card once you turn it over you'll create a bubble shape too. You can add more ink if it is too pale. I started with the Azure Afternoon and then added some Night of Navy after a few sheets were created. I also tried it on Basic White card stock which worked fine, but avoid getting it too close to the smaller bubbles on top of the water edges. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Allow your sheets to dry before die cutting shapes or using as backgrounds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">For the card above I used the Tailor-made Tags to cut lots of small tags to then create a pattern and stamped a sentiment on one. I also used the Layering Leaves stamp set to stamp onto the bubble background and punch out one branch to add a focal point. I added sequins to add some sparkle and silver pearls. The stamping is in Blackberry Bliss. </div></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgbiDbPbrUKqCs1qxY_45nEF63ISgaiix3BFw981Z12f1wHBJbGgMSPrF-MPl7gVvUClq4eaxcneP7k5dShXGuytTGUUS65qOTamFfQz15WyP3YvAcOMtmj9x9SmBUA1zEhAa0tAxHubvaR1l44hnU-ju22cZZw96O2K3WurQDrOEgYkeS1P7Jkorphw/s2192/bubble%20technique%204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="1644" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtgbiDbPbrUKqCs1qxY_45nEF63ISgaiix3BFw981Z12f1wHBJbGgMSPrF-MPl7gVvUClq4eaxcneP7k5dShXGuytTGUUS65qOTamFfQz15WyP3YvAcOMtmj9x9SmBUA1zEhAa0tAxHubvaR1l44hnU-ju22cZZw96O2K3WurQDrOEgYkeS1P7Jkorphw/s320/bubble%20technique%204.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>After creating several blue sheets I added some Real Red.

I had thought I had nothing to share so was heading for the anything goes get out of jail option, but then opened my new pack of One Horse Open Sleigh 6" x 6" printed papers (DSP). I teamed this sheet with the Trucking Along bundle to create my village scene. <p></p><p>Using papers makes it easy to create a quick card or multiples especially with a pack of papers like this as there are 4 of each design. When you are making lots of seasonal cards then easy and quick designs make it much more fun and you can vary with each paper design. </p><p>The truck is so cute too and you can use the stamp set all year as there are numerous things to put inside it. I've also added some Wink of Stella to the lights for a little sparkle, but no matter how I tried it didn't want to show in my photograph. </p><p>Do take a few minutes to look around the other ladies in our club to see some different ideas for cards using the theme ranging from up cycling to stamping. </p><p>Thanks for checking in and do visit again soon. </p><p>Happy crafting Zoe x</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/stampin-up/image/upload/w_360,d_missing_image.png/v1/prod/images/default-source/product-image/162306.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="trucking along bundle stampin up" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="360" height="200" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/stampin-up/image/upload/w_360,d_missing_image.png/v1/prod/images/default-source/product-image/162306.jpg" title="punch stamps for christmas card making papercraft" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.stampinup.uk/products/trucking-along-bundle-english?demoid=5000191" target="_blank">Trucking Along Bundle</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/stampin-up/image/upload/w_360,d_missing_image.png/v1/prod/images/default-source/product-image/162118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="one horse open sleigh designer series paper" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="360" height="200" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/stampin-up/image/upload/w_360,d_missing_image.png/v1/prod/images/default-source/product-image/162118.jpg" title="printed papers for cardmaking christmas cards" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p><a href="https://www.stampinup.uk/products/one-horse-open-sleigh-6-x-6-15-2-x-15-2-cm-designer-series-paper?demoid=5000191" target="_blank">One Horse Open Sleigh DSP</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/stampin-up/image/upload/w_360,d_missing_image.png/v1/prod/images/default-source/product-image/141897.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="wink of stella to add sparkle to papercraft projects" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="360" height="200" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/stampin-up/image/upload/w_360,d_missing_image.png/v1/prod/images/default-source/product-image/141897.jpg" title="wink of stella for craft to add sparkle" width="200" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="https://www.stampinup.uk/products/wink-of-stella-clear-glitter-brush?demoid=5000191" target="_blank">Wink of Stella</a><div><br /></div><div><br /><p><br /></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">So glad you visited my blog.

Some of the coloured card I created myself by adding water colour washes to white card and allowing them to dry before either adding more colour or die cutting petals and leaves. </p><p>The dies allow you to create all sorts of flowers and you can do what you want with them. I also stamped splatters onto some of the petals and dipped the stamen centres into ink pads to add different colours and tones. I also used blending brushes to colour some white petals and some were simply cut from coloured card. </p><p>They are all wired and positioned in a piece of oasis which is in a floristry bottle neck holder that I bought many years ago. </p><p>I loved creating this and had so much fun doing it. The only issue is the wine bottle needs to be full to make sure the display doesn't fall over ! Good reason to buy another I guess. </p><p>This project was featured on my stand at a recent craft show at the National Motorcycle Museum near to the NEC at Birmingham. Show attendees joined me to make their own make and take using the same dies but on a card showing the versatility of the dies. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPDTQ0ZN4gof4IYWZIPSSl6zvMt_0nMA_piS7AJtN3WzNH7Qe96h5L50-SJ4-MWGUKNkijMOckJFlzesf1nxQtmXW3vuLfSgIf5gL6In7oPHp_O59eWU5svD-CbCxhNm9M7Rm6CiLoxpPQqw_ugIIhXf-oP5nBKhZ-_6uVTeM5wE7wHszS6sNapEyYsvA/s2192/paper%20florist%20make%20and%20take.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="card made using paper florist stampin up dies and tag dies" border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="1644" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPDTQ0ZN4gof4IYWZIPSSl6zvMt_0nMA_piS7AJtN3WzNH7Qe96h5L50-SJ4-MWGUKNkijMOckJFlzesf1nxQtmXW3vuLfSgIf5gL6In7oPHp_O59eWU5svD-CbCxhNm9M7Rm6CiLoxpPQqw_ugIIhXf-oP5nBKhZ-_6uVTeM5wE7wHszS6sNapEyYsvA/w480-h640/paper%20florist%20make%20and%20take.jpg" title="diecutting flowers make a wedding bouquet and cards papercraft fun" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This lovely Mum and Daughter were enjoying a girls day out visiting the show and loved adding their own take on the make and take.

This month we are sharing ways that you can dry emboss vellum and add it to your card making and scrapbooking. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I have used the new colour Bubble Bath - such a cute name for a lovely baby pink - and teamed it with some Distressed Gold Specialty Paper. It's lush and perfect for a girly card or summer wedding. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've also used the popular Layering Leaves stamp set and Bough punch to add detail to my circle focal point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_9ef_wRvbDRlTxV1OAbG7wqgQuWcdn2YDYMKa6kPVCF4RWdS-w3cirsOEtfDqnGS4utXqUFQXmg9Q25Jpcl7f7njDsjT0Lnci0B5Y_Gs8GNqBTM2mNMrTjMsmzlav8ZQPHQDTJ6m-AF7Smr7UN3M8tLsELTo-lHwc9wdmT1yLg1UBrKm04jrxZwNFCY/s2192/layering%20leaves%20thumb%20nail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="dry embossing on card and vellum thumbnail picture with zoe tant" border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="1644" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_9ef_wRvbDRlTxV1OAbG7wqgQuWcdn2YDYMKa6kPVCF4RWdS-w3cirsOEtfDqnGS4utXqUFQXmg9Q25Jpcl7f7njDsjT0Lnci0B5Y_Gs8GNqBTM2mNMrTjMsmzlav8ZQPHQDTJ6m-AF7Smr7UN3M8tLsELTo-lHwc9wdmT1yLg1UBrKm04jrxZwNFCY/w300-h400/layering%20leaves%20thumb%20nail.jpg" title="stampin up uk shop with zoe tant for cardmaking papercraft supplies" width="300" /></a></div><p>As you know this girl loves a bit of bling and so the subtle layering of dry embossed vellum over a piece of the specialty paper just softens it to add extra detail and is such an easy way to add some embossed vellum. When embossing vellum you want to make sure that you don't overload the pressure when passing your embossing folder through your die cutting machine. Too much pressure can actually cut the vellum as well as emboss and you may end up with unwanted die cut effect. Be gentle with it and if needs be play about with your plates. I also dry embossed the pink card with the Fern 3D folder and then gently added some ink around the edges using a blending brush. </p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6--ZMWhKi5pRLQjcSnrOfNDHBx_KJABRECqAXxVW7wjZSwsmM1d_GVzh1FlpEerISBy4eOkgEtnJoxkz-Toev-eiyeFQfiF7Kp3f19mcbz3e_jl5INMlu57rwrC4Oxy94k3W9dENcq-4JdLMC41JaeftbAWV3-124c13Mlumm5TPRx6V2FeSxxfibbo/s2193/layering%20leaves%20with%20embossed%20vellum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="dry embossing on card and vellum thumbnail picture with zoe tant" border="0" data-original-height="2193" data-original-width="1644" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6--ZMWhKi5pRLQjcSnrOfNDHBx_KJABRECqAXxVW7wjZSwsmM1d_GVzh1FlpEerISBy4eOkgEtnJoxkz-Toev-eiyeFQfiF7Kp3f19mcbz3e_jl5INMlu57rwrC4Oxy94k3W9dENcq-4JdLMC41JaeftbAWV3-124c13Mlumm5TPRx6V2FeSxxfibbo/w480-h640/layering%20leaves%20with%20embossed%20vellum.jpg" title="dry embossing vellum card papercraft tutorial technique" width="480" /></a></div><br />The specialty paper is thick enough to use a punch on it and adding just a touch of seed pods makes the little bouquet sparkle. You could use this layout and do the same with the gold paper with so many colours to match your occasion. <p></p><p>Do check out my lovely friends blogs for other ideas using dry embossed vellum. </p><p>Have an awesome weekend we are gardening hopefully if it's dry, but I also secretly hope it rains for the garden and a cosy weekend crafting and getting other indoor chores covered. </p><p>Happy crafting</p><p>Hugs Zoe x<!-- start InLinkz code -->

I love the sunshine, but keeping cool is best at the peak of the day and so what better to fill my time than creating a sentiment focused Christmas card!!!! Lol crazy or what?*?*! <p></p><p>I've used the Alphabet A La Mode alphabet dies for this simple message card. It takes a little time though as I've cut three of each letter to layer them using double sided adhesive sheets to add depth and make the letters pop even more. </p><p>I've used Real Red, Garden Green and Gold foil card and the retired Christmas Banners stamp set to add some #simplestamping holly. </p><p>A sprinkle of golden pearls and you have a sentiment focused card. </p><p>I'm part of a great group of crafters across the globe who share Christmas card makes every fortnight. If you'd like to join us then pop one of us a message. Do go see the others cards to inspire you for your festive makes. </p><p>Thanks for stopping in and enjoy the sunshine if you have it or the excitement of snow potentially elsewhere, at least more of a festive scene tee hee. </p><p>happy stamping </p><p>Zoe x</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCkUiJEYHcnfy9YdwiSTKRuHq6kPXSkrItDvCG7OgCwvmdPehdm66POxx_PMC28a3Bc9vd3v93a-0dwjL-yyus1ksrU2lK4EP9XEHzHjwdH3bHG99_4qLQS9rbcCvMC22G64uJ4YvWYo2UUopK0t1YNilYdw4tGux-B5-awVPI9llwEnDDH9rMJAsELU/s1200/Join%20stampin%20up%20with%20zoe%20tant%20uk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="join stampin up with zoe tant" border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCkUiJEYHcnfy9YdwiSTKRuHq6kPXSkrItDvCG7OgCwvmdPehdm66POxx_PMC28a3Bc9vd3v93a-0dwjL-yyus1ksrU2lK4EP9XEHzHjwdH3bHG99_4qLQS9rbcCvMC22G64uJ4YvWYo2UUopK0t1YNilYdw4tGux-B5-awVPI9llwEnDDH9rMJAsELU/w400-h400/Join%20stampin%20up%20with%20zoe%20tant%20uk.jpg" title="join stampin up uk with zoe tant" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.stampinup.uk/join?demoid=5000191" target="_blank">JOIN TODAY</a></span></p><p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer">So glad you visited my blog.

We are sharing handmade cards for kids. Mine is created using the fun Supremely Awesome stamp set from the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue on page 80. If you like my daughter 'LOVE PIZZA!' this is the stamp set for you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This is the perfect stamp set to create party invitations with too. I stamped mini pizza sliced tone on tone onto the red background and then die cut two lots of yellow DSP so that I could mix and match the paper designs. The Patchwork Pieces dies make this easy to do and to make it easy to secure them a little spaced out I glued the tip of each piece onto a punched circle for ease of adding to my card. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I used the Alpabest stamp set to create the 'party' part of my sentiment and pizza is part of the Supremely Awesome set and just needs some masking to get the part you want. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I stamped and coloured the pizza man using alcohol markers aka Stampin' Blends and used Lost Lagoon, Daffodil Delight, Bronze, Cherry Cobbler, Pebbled Path, Copper Clay and Sweet Sorbet. It's easy to fussy cut this fun image and pop him onto the starburst. This would be such a fun way to invite kids to a birthday party. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Enjoy the hop and lots of ideas for kids handmade cards. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hugs Zoe x<!--start Blog Carousel script-->

It's not difficult to fussy cut, colour or create masculine cards with. </div><div><br /></div><div>I started with some embossing paste to which I added one drop of ink from my Copper Clay refill and made sure it was well and truly mixed evenly through the paste. I then added a thin layer through an Artistic Mix mask/stencil adding additional texture to the DSP which had it's own texture already printed onto it in its design. Once dry I added the antennae for the moths by using a stampin' write marker to just ink that part of the stamp. </div><div><br /></div><div>I stamped several of the same moth coloured them in with alcohol markers and fussy cut them out to add to my design.

It's Nativity cards this time and I've used the retired stamp set called Peace to You. I stamped the image onto a piece of card and then fussy cut around the top which looks sort of stable shape and then I hand tore the bottom of the image. I matted this onto a layer with soft blending brush ink and then onto a deckled rectangle die cut. <p></p><p>The image itself is stamped in navy and then I used Stampin' Blends to colour the remainder of the image. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and stamped simply onto a piece of card which I snipped at both ends. Simple, but the message is clear. </p><p>Enjoy touring the other ladies in the Christmas CC and come back to visit again soon. </p><p>Thank you </p><p>Zoe x</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctzkpCMs_Srkr9gfQB3t0FJ0qXYL3Nj_yThE-koelk44rF7MqMXhy6p0iA5S2TcnF4tUtqn9dn3q2afTYv8q57TjQgYnO-QdFd15Ym-9ORBkZb7-fnxRWEwmoGOOGlGy5_wHG6aD2s2W3rSkx3VA72QgiKCfCMOz2GTRoklNygm1w4BQDjm_4Jfg-/s1200/dsp%20sale%20june%202023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Patterned paper sale announcement for June 2023" border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgctzkpCMs_Srkr9gfQB3t0FJ0qXYL3Nj_yThE-koelk44rF7MqMXhy6p0iA5S2TcnF4tUtqn9dn3q2afTYv8q57TjQgYnO-QdFd15Ym-9ORBkZb7-fnxRWEwmoGOOGlGy5_wHG6aD2s2W3rSkx3VA72QgiKCfCMOz2GTRoklNygm1w4BQDjm_4Jfg-/w400-h400/dsp%20sale%20june%202023.JPG" title="DSP designer series paper sale at Stampin' Up!

DSP packs you have double sided papers so can make 3 with one side of the paper and 3 with the other. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">With an additional 12"x 12" piece of DSP from the same pack I have created a gift pack that will comfortably fit 3 cards and envelopes inside to make a fun teacher gift or a thank you for someone who has helped you or just a treat for a neighbour. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxAXuphyoNNmjWhwg6BAZavXMlmSt-nako9-6ZPIXabILrz93d1TnEEy05f9JmPLxoOPKILyeYH8dnu8FLbTVh-j4wbEcOwBGtDIZ27fNueCH1ioN8XJPpKGZth-wTjKWAyKs_5JVIkRLQICXXAhKq3vTVFyTV_7eTu-RH1ncM3JrzBoU093Pn6Sm/s2192/6%22%20x6%22%20one%20sheet%20wonder%20zt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="cards and envelope made with OSW paper from Stampin' Up! with zoe tant uk demo" border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="1644" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxAXuphyoNNmjWhwg6BAZavXMlmSt-nako9-6ZPIXabILrz93d1TnEEy05f9JmPLxoOPKILyeYH8dnu8FLbTVh-j4wbEcOwBGtDIZ27fNueCH1ioN8XJPpKGZth-wTjKWAyKs_5JVIkRLQICXXAhKq3vTVFyTV_7eTu-RH1ncM3JrzBoU093Pn6Sm/w480-h640/6%22%20x6%22%20one%20sheet%20wonder%20zt.jpg" title="cardmaking ideas one sheet wonder idea" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Some folk say you should never send a naked envelope so you can see that I've stamped the envelope flaps using the Layering Leaves stamp set from the new Stampin' Up! annual catalogue and I've used it and the coordinating punch to create a topper for the envelope which is attached with stampin' dimensional and allows you to tuck the flap of the packaging neatly underneath the topper without then having to tear the package to open it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've kept the stamping very simple using just one ink, Fresh Freesia and have also added some sparkle with the Tinsel Gems Three Pack. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">On the bottom trio I have also used a score board to add some detailing behind the DSP squares. All of the sentiments and stamping are from the Layering Leaves stamp set. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I hope you'll have a try at a OSW soon and to make it easier to decide don't forget that in June many of Stampin' Up!'s DSP packs are on sale with a 15% discount. Buy any 4 packs of DSP on sale, from me in June using host/demo code T9D47SFB to receive a free pack of Stampin' Dimensionals. Please note these will be posted to you separately by me and this offer is only available from me and is not offered by Stampin' Up!. <a href="https://www.stampinup.uk?hostcode=T9D47SFB" target="_blank">SHOP DSP</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Lovely Lynsay Mahon in Canada chose our theme of Shaker Cards and I created this card for the 2023 Sales and Promotions Demonstrator Council new product spotlights for our global facebook group for demonstrators and it also happens to be a simple shaker card to make. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">You'll need the following</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><ul><li>A tent fold base card mine is Bubble Bath a new Stampin' Up! colour. </li><li>A matt layer 0.5cm/0.25" narrower and shorter than the base card. Same or coordinating as base </li><li>circle die - Stylish Shapes</li><li>Gorgeous Garden dies - yes they are in the annual catalogue page 164</li><li>Wanted to Say dies - page 167 for the flowers</li><li>Sending Smiles stamp set for the sentiment</li><li>Shaker sparkle of your choice</li><li>Irrisdescent Pearls</li><li>window sheet</li><li>foam adhesive strips</li></ul><div>Start by cutting an aperture in the matt layer. To the reverse of this adhere a piece of the leaf dies from the Gorgeous Garden dies that is big enough to more than cover the aperture. On top of this layer on the reverse add a rectangle of window sheet again large enough to cover beyond the circle aperture. You can add glue dots to the back of the leaves once the window sheet is in place from the front of the card by lifting them carefully with a pokey tool to save getting wet glue everywhere.</div><div><br /></div><div>Add some foam adhesive strips in a square bigger than the circle again on the reverse side making sure there are no gaps at the corners or along the side so that your shaker sparkle doesn't leak out. Also add foam adhesive across the top and bottom of the matt layer reverse so that when you come to stick this onto the card base this whole layer is supported. </div><div><br /></div><div>Add your shaker sparkle to the front of the closed card roughly where your circle aperture will be over it and then remove the backing paper from the matt layer and stick onto the front of the card. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now to the front of the card you can add the sweet die cut flowers with iridescent pearls and also a flower in the bottom right corner of the card front. If you use the flower from the Wanted To Say dies I carefully stuck three layers on top of each other and kept the pink centres from the other flowers used to add a coordinating centre to the white flower again sticking them together carefully first. </div><div><br /></div><div>Heat emboss a sentiment in white onto black for a finishing touch. </div><div><br /></div><div>A simple but wow card to impress your friends. Have fun making one yourself. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of the hop </div><div><br /></div><div>Happy stamping</div><div>Zoe x<!-- start InLinkz code -->

It's not rocket science and is actually a very forgiving technique that could lend itself to lots of different stamp images and creates fun cards using as few or as many ink colours as you wish. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I used the stamp set Wild and Sweet which includes a Racoon, Koala and a Panda.

This image is matted onto a Mossy Meadow border and then onto the returning colour Pretty Peacock which can be green or blue depending upon which colours you team it with and makes it very flexible and a popular returning colour to our main colour offering. I stamped a simple Happy Birthday in copper embossing and added some copper brushed metal dots onto dry embossed card base.

We're sharing Annette's choice this month and are using the Stampin' Up! Gilded Leafing. You'll find lots of ideas of how to use this fun product. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4Vzi14sfNvNlNeOFjhD6eyndiBJeXEnydAKBINXj7YIjPFLWiaFlmYuTU0frsEAGpzcRdf6bpyBFK4kDoX8KcGXF_QhijY7I4Q20fUbu1etKxjXTq9OUjT_ihhGuZs9ePPHmGQ0eveeiwFioXjWnEAhkh7bXHpx3Vrhp-Xl69KEL_s8NoQHd-zw7/s1945/gilded%20leafing%20with%20Daisy%20Garden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="gold embossed card with daisy garden stamp and gilded leafing sentiment from amazing thanks double dies" border="0" data-original-height="1853" data-original-width="1945" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4Vzi14sfNvNlNeOFjhD6eyndiBJeXEnydAKBINXj7YIjPFLWiaFlmYuTU0frsEAGpzcRdf6bpyBFK4kDoX8KcGXF_QhijY7I4Q20fUbu1etKxjXTq9OUjT_ihhGuZs9ePPHmGQ0eveeiwFioXjWnEAhkh7bXHpx3Vrhp-Xl69KEL_s8NoQHd-zw7/w400-h381/gilded%20leafing%20with%20Daisy%20Garden.jpg" title="heat embossing and gilded leafing techniques for handmade cards" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Starting with Polished Pink card I gold embossed the lovely soon to retire Daisy Garden stamp onto the card. I then used blending brushes to add an ombre effect to the card using Polished Pink and Poppy Parade Ink. </p><p>Using a clean water brush I added some water splatters to the design and moped up excess water with a paper towel. I put some craft white ink onto a cello bag and added some water. Mixed the paint and water with the water brush before adding splatters to the design. I also added splatters using the inside lid of a marker pen and flicking the brush nib from inside out. </p><p>My sentiment was created using the retiring Amazing Thanks dies. One die cuts the black framing thanks and another die cut the top layer detail. For the top layer I added double sided adhesive to to both side of a piece of white card big enough to cut the word thanks out. Once die cut I peeled off the backing paper from the facing side of the word. I then added gilded leafing to the revealed adhesive sheet and gently brush off the excess with a small blending brush before removing the reverse side backing paper to stick the word to the black background. From the Kind and Sincere stamp set I added the 'FOR EVERYTHING' and some elegant faceted gems for the all important bling. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKP1LFMkRznbW0qTX7JlE02rnNS456GWdnrDXlna3npe7pw6k6Co5Nj_fVlhNyc1QPbl3YMKPbiyj6j0IcU5OqqjtKZzTg7DDR5nLLGYofy8tfJxv4lhktrYXZhg4Ue-f7zmsXrPwwxaHCCrPP7KW0DZv-4YDbDRMHDFC-bKWliFvNUNIUgXwyB4J/s2192/gilded%20leafing%20thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="close up view of gold leaf gilded leafing sentiment on handmade card" border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="1644" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKP1LFMkRznbW0qTX7JlE02rnNS456GWdnrDXlna3npe7pw6k6Co5Nj_fVlhNyc1QPbl3YMKPbiyj6j0IcU5OqqjtKZzTg7DDR5nLLGYofy8tfJxv4lhktrYXZhg4Ue-f7zmsXrPwwxaHCCrPP7KW0DZv-4YDbDRMHDFC-bKWliFvNUNIUgXwyB4J/w300-h400/gilded%20leafing%20thumb.jpg" title="how to use gilded leafing from stampin up blog hop" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>You could use any stamp for this technique and add a variation of colours for different effects.

Today I've gone for a very neutral palette creating a scene with simple stamping and die cutting. <p></p><div>I stamped the sand first and this stamp includes some seashells, that as a group didn't stand out as much as I wanted for this particular design so I left one and then stamped one to die cut and add after I'd created a border using my trusty Stampin' Up! trimmer with a scoring blade in it to on the reverse scored around the design layer and just off the stamping. It really makes the actual images stand out even more than the scored card. I added other die cut from gold foil card and stamped images and I added kraft and white die cut reeds. </div><div><br /></div><div>Before adding the design to a base card with stampin' dimensionals I stamped my sentiment and added the bird also on sticky pads. This is the perfect stamp set for #simplestamping as the stamps are so finely detailed that they look amazing just simply stamped. </div><div><br /></div><div>You can see alternative ideas with the By The Bay Suite by visiting my<a href="https://stampingscene.blogspot.com/2023/02/masking-techniques-for-card-making.html"> masking technique</a>s post from last Friday or Monday's post showcasing the <a href="https://stampingscene.blogspot.com/2023/02/seaside-bay-delivers-pearls.html">Seaside Bay </a>stamps and dies teamed with the By the Bay DSP. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope you've enjoyed my ideas for using this fabulous bundle of products.
