Gypsy and friends.

This card is made using the Gypsy Meadows "Gypsy and Napkin" and "Gypsys Friends" stamp sets, Hunkydory Prism ink pads and colouring is done using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers. 


To start I ran my "Rainforest Green" ink pad around the edge of the card to give it a border and then I cut a piece of smooth white card ¼" smaller than the base card.
I stamped the fox, Gypsy with Napkin and the duck straight onto the white card. Then I stamped them twice more another piece of card, once for the masking and once for the 3d layers. I masked off the stamps on the white card, used "Blue Lagoon" prism ink and the "Plane Cute" stencil from Hunkydory crafts to make the clouds. Then I drew a line for the grass and added some hand-drawn bushes. I coloured the grass, bushes and stamps in using my Tri-Blend markers. Making sure to use the same colours on my second set of stamping. Then I stuck the base picture to the base card.
I cut out the parts I wanted to 3d from the second set of stamping and layered them onto the base picture using 1mm foam pads. To finish I stamped the "Have a very Happy Birthday" sentiment from a separate stamp set from my own stash onto smooth white card, die-cut it out using a rectangle die, layered it onto a piece of card that I coloured using the "Rainforest Green" prism ink pad and stuck it to the base card using foam pads.

6x6" card made using Gypsy Meadows "Gypsys Friends" stamp set, Hunkydory Prism ink pads and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.


To start I covered a 6x6 card blank with Hobbycrafts green card, then I added a 5¾" x 5¾" piece of spotted paper from The Craft Place origami paper stack. Then I cut a 2"x 6" piece of green card and layered it up with a 1¾" x5¾" piece of zig-zag origami paper. I put a band of hessian ribbon around that layer and stuck it the base card.
I die cut a piece of smooth white card using Moonstone nesting dies Circle, then stamped the fox onto the circle. I then masked off the stamp and used "Blue Lagoon" prism ink and the "Plane Cute" stencil from Hunkdory for the clouds. I coloured in the fox in brown to make him look more like a dog and added flicks of different greens to the grass. Then I die-cut a scalloped circle from the green card using Hunkydory Scalloped nesting dies, layered the stamped image onto it and stuck it to the base card using 1mm foam pads. Using Time for Tea designs "friend" die, I cut the word from white card and the backing from green card, stuck them together and added it to the card, again using foam pads. To finish I coloured some white pearls green to match the card and stuck them along the hessian ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and thank you for stopping by.

My Little Duckling

For this card, I used the "Box Clever" die set from Time for tea designs, Hunkydory for the love of stamps "Totally Quackers" stamp set, "Blue Lagoon", "Rainforest Green" and "Arctic Mist" Prism ink pads and coloured with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.


I started by die-cutting some lime green adorable scorable card for the box and smooth white card for the inside strips. Then I created the background using For the Love of Masks "Plane Cute" stencil and arctic mist prism ink pad. I die-cut the sun and clouds using the box clever die accessories, coloured the sun in yellow and ran the arctic mist ink pad around the edge of the clouds. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the ducks, reeds and sentiment, then I stuck them to the inside strips that I had coloured using "Rainforest Green" and "Blue Lagoon" ink pads. To finish I glued the box altogether and added the sentiment to the outside.
