Hello
Well I
have to say I am spoilt for choice with a card for today...I have
lots of super cards ready mainly from the latest cds I've had over
the past week or two..
But today
my stamped project kit arrived from
and I
couldn't wait to have a go
Have to
just add that this card is their design – but keep an eye out as I
have so many ideas for this set of stamps
For anyone
interested the stamped project club runs for 12 months – its £10 a
month and when you first sign up you get a set of free stamps as a
welcome gift as well as a membership card that gives you 25% off
internet purchases, 20% of telephone purchases and 10% of any show
purchases
As well as
that you get an A5 set of stamps together with everything you need to
make a card, the step by step instructions and also several photos
and quick instructions for other projects.
The £10 a
month is taken from your bank the same time each month which is when
they despatch the stamps!
I have
thought long and hard about joining but looking at all the stamps and
cards made I knew it was a wise move!!!
And so to
the card!
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
Project
stamps & acrylic blocks
the
project kit – card of different colours and the ribbon
Memento
Tuxedo Black & Paris Dusk ink pads
Promarkers
Sticky
pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping
tool from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam
shaping mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card …
I started
by cutting the pale blue card down then stamped 2 anchors with
intertwined rope and 2 ships wheels in the 4 corners and then the
smaller lifebelts at the sides between the larger stamps using the
Paris Dusk ink pad.
I trimmed
a piece of white card down and stamped the lighthouse and the birds
using the Tuxedo Black ink pad – I stamped the lighthouse again on
the spare white card
I coloured
the spare lighthouse using the Cool Grey promarkers and a yellow for
the light.
This was
then cut out and after adding sticky pads to the back it was laid on
top of the original stamped lighthouse.
Going back
to the light blue now stamped sheet, I wrapped the small blue
gingham ribbon around the top left and bottom right corners securing
with tape at the back.
Then the
dark blue pearlescent card was stuck in the centre and finally the
lighthouse panel placed on top.
This
entire panel was then stuck to the main mid grey A5 card blank.
Have to
say I really did enjoy making this card – the stamps are top
quality so a real pleasure to stamp with
The stamp
set came with several words relating to the sea but as yet I've not
added anything.
This may
well be a card to do in class as its not difficult but looks fab when
finished!!!
Another
card for the “to use or sell” box
Right
that's all for today – same place tomorrow!

Can I have that one too please!
