Jungle Celebration with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Jun 12, 2019 | Uncategorized

Today I have a jungle themed card to share, featuring the cute Portrait Pals stamp set. I began with a panel of white card, and inked over a stencil from Echo Park with clear embossing ink. I then heat embossed the pattern with WOW Colour Blend Verdigris embossing powder. I added this panel to my card base. Next, I stamped some images from the Portrait Pals stamp set and coloured with copic markers. I die cut them with the coordinating dies. From blue card, I die cut the larger of the frames from the Photo Stack die set. I...

Toad-ally Awesome with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | May 8, 2019 | Uncategorized

Today I’m sharing a card featuring the toad-ally awesome Garden Friends set. This set can be used with the new Fairy Garden set, but works equally well on its own. On a panel of white card, I used a circle die to create a window. This is where I’ll set my scene. I also stamped a greeting from Garden Friends below the circle. Next, I added some grass and clouds to my card, using stencils and distress oxide inks. I then adhered the card panel over the top. I coloured some images from Garden Friends with Copic Markers. For the...

Unicorn Tales with Gemma

Hello, Gemma here today with a card using some fabulous April release products – Unicorn Tales, After the Rain scene die, and the Magical Sparkle Words die set. I began by die cutting the After the Rain scene die from both white card and vellum. This die is great as it cuts the scene in one pass, but all the die cut pieces are separate. This means you can add different colours to each of the pieces. I blended on colour to an A2 card base, using distress oxides in picked raspberry, spun sugar, dried marigold, and squeezed lemonade. I adhered...

Thinking of You with Gemma

As I made this card, it was snowing outside. I must have been dreaming of spring sunshine and flowers! I stamped lots of flowers from the Hello Bluebird Wildflower Bouquet stamp set. Once the ink was dry, I stamped the second layer with WOW embossing ink and embossed with WOW Metallic Copper embossing powder. On the leaves, I added some WOW Metallic Silver embossing powder. I die cut a couple of tags from the Hello Bluebird Stitched Tag Builder die set. From one of these, I die cut the rectangle stitched window. I added some light blue ink to...

Hashtag Smile with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card featuring some fabulous new products from the February release – Spring Gatherings and Typed Everyday stamp sets and the Photo Stack stand-alone die set. I began by working on the background, blending some mowed lawn and twisted citron distress oxide inks on to a white card panel. I concentrated the colour at the edges, fading out to white towards the centre. Using a grass image from the Spring Gatherings stamp set, I stamped it with the twisted citron distress oxide ink around the edges of the panel. Next, I stamped some more images from...
