Pick A Pennant For You - Hinge Step

Having used the Pick A Pennant stamp set and Hinge Step Technique with the Stamparatus for this black and white card, I decided to try something similar with some colour.

Hinge Step Technique with the Stamparatus and Pick A Pennant stamp set

The base card is Coastal Cabana with layers of Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla under the decorated Gray Granite layer which is stamped with Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral inks.

It doesn't show in this photograph but I added a layer of Wink of Stella to the pennants before I added the spots and stripes.

The birthday greeting is one of the stamps included in the Darling Label Punch Box and I punched it out with the coordinating punch which is also included in the box.  The tin itself is so gorgeous that one could be forgiven for buying it just for pleasure of having the box!

There are so many rectangles on the card that I chose to adhere the Darling Label onto a circle of Coastal Cabana cut with one of the Layering Circles dies.  This is adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Special Guest: Danielle Kassing

Click to visit Danielle's Blog

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters' Blog Hop with our Special Guest stamper, Danielle Kassing - we are thrilled to have Danielle join us this month and so excited to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by her.

Whether you are starting the blog hop here at my blog, Stephanie Fischer - The Crafty Thinker, or have come from the person before me, be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey through the blog hop.

The balanced layout and use of Designer Series Paper really appealed to me in the card of Danielle's that I decided to CASE and I changed very little.

A simple, masculine card using the Tea Room paper and card pack

My base card is made from Thick Very Vanilla cardstock and, for a masculine feel, I've used layers of  Mossy Meadow cardstock.    I also used two cards from the Tea Room Memories & More card pack and a small piece of Tea Room Designer Series Paper.

I cut the leaves with dies from the new Foliage Frame Framelits.  The greeting, stamped onto Very Vanilla card with Mossy Meadow ink, is from the Botanical Bliss stamp set.  I cut it out with one of the dies in the Bunch of Banners Framelits and trimmed off one end.  

To make it look "anchored", I added a Faceted Dot.

I also made one more card that's even more simple, using the same Tea Room paper and card pack.  The greeting is also from the same stamp set.  I fussy cut one of the leaves from an off-cut of Tea Room card and adhered it under the corner of one of the layers.

Pick A Pennant Black & White Hinge-Step

This card is included in the Crazy Crafters Team Highlights.  Click here to see all the entrants and vote for your favourites.

Pick A Pennant is a very versatile little stamp set.  It includes not only two different types of bunting but also patterns to enhance the little flags, bows, tassels, little floral and bird images but also a complete alpha-numeric set!  What's more, there are multiples of some letters, making it easier to build words or names.  The letters can be used in conjunction with the bunting or on their own.

There is also a coordinating die set (Playful Pennants Framelits) and both can be purchased together as a bundle for a 10% saving!

A simple black & white card created with the Pick A Pennant stamp set in a graphic style

I kept this card simple.

Using my fave new tool - the Stamparatus - and the Hinge Step technique, I stamped the pennants twice onto Basic Black cardstock with Versamark.  I then heat embossed with Whisper White embossing powder.

HINT:  Since photopolymer stamps are easy to manoeuvre, I curved the stamp slightly before I started inking.

I also white heat embossed the little greeting in the corner with a stamp from the Eastern Beauty stamp set.

I stamped another greeting from the Eastern Beauty set onto Whisper White cardstock  and cut the black and white layers with the Layering Circles Framelits.

Thank you for visiting.

Stained Glass Window card

I made this for a much-loved cousin who is struggling with serious ill-health and hospitalisation.  I thought the soothing colours and church window design would be uplifting for his spirits.

Graceful Glass Designer Vellum coloured with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers for a Get Well Card

I coloured the piece of Graceful Glass Designer Vellum with a variety of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers - choosing to colour the front of the vellum for stronger, brighter colours.

Having adhered the vellum to a piece of Whisper White cardstock, I added it to the front of the card.

The card layers are Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy and Sahara Sand.
