Jungle Pals TSOT#641

The mid-month sketch challenge from Try Stamping on Tuesday (TSOT) #641 runs to March 3rd, 2024.  I decided to give it a try.  Here is the sketch:

Here is My Card:

This card is for one of my stamping friends who's currently going through some pretty rough health issues and needs something to lift her spirits. I decided I would use one of my Sale-a-bration stamp sets called Jungle Pals and the coordinating dies and try and create a fun card. 

Stamping Products Used:

Stamp Set & Dies: Jungle Pals (Sale-a-bration now retired)
Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Whisper White
Ink: Momento Black Ink, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Lemon Lolly, Wheat, Sweet Sorbet
Blends: L&D Crumb Cake, L&D Gray Granite, L&D Black
Accessories:  White and Pink Pearlized L&S adhesive sequins, Dimensionals, Mini Cut and Emboss Machine, Tom Bow Adhesive, Acrylic Blocks, Regular and Mini blender brushes.  
  • The card base measures 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" and is scored at 4 1/4"
  • Mat Layer 5 1/4 x 4" piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock, adhered to the base
  • 51/8 x 3 7/8" layer of Whisper White for top layer.  I used this piece of card stock beneath my die cut images when I was colouring them with blends to colour the background and make it more interesting. 
  • All the leaves, tree trunk and flowers were cut from scraps of Whisper White card stock and then coloured with blending brushes (see Products). 
  • The Sloth and the cat were stamped in Momento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock and then coloured with blends and cut out with the coordinating dies.  The Sloth was mounted with Dimensionals to the tree branch.  

For my version of the TSOT #651 sketch, I used the tree for the long vertical  layer.  The leaves at the bottom actually cross over and behind the tree so they represent the strip that runs horizontal on the card, and, the Sloth and flowers and additional leaves are the focal .  


I love the images of the leaves on the background layer I created just by colouring the leaves and flowers with the various layers of ink on top of this whisper white layer.  I moved the images around as I coloured so that the ink would cover the whole area of the layer.  It really looks like the jungle.  

I enhanced the size of the tree trunk by leaving a margin on the right hand side of the tree when I made the first cut.  Then I ran it through the mini cut n' emboss again, moving the die so it cut to the left on the margin which left little stubs of the branches on the side.  You can see them in the photo below.  


Well that's it for this sketch challenge and my Jungle Pals get well card.  I had a lot of fun playing with the dies and stamps in this set and have already started a couple of other cards that I'll post later this week.  What fun!  

HAPPY STAMPING!

NOTE:  I wasn't paying attention to the TSOT deadline, thinking I had all day, unfortunately it closed at 1pm MT today, so I missed entering my card.  Oh well the sketch still inspired me to make a card and there's lots of great samples on the web link for TSOT.!

WWC172 - Anything Goes Challenge

Hi stampers.  May is a five week month so that means we get to do a no host "Anything Goes" challenge at Watercooler Wednesday this week.  Are you up for the challenge.
This challenge runs until 5:00pm Mountain Time on Monday June 4th, 2018.  Check out the rules and the linky here. Hope you'll join in and have some fun!

For my project today I'd like to share a "Get Well" card that I've been working on which features one of the new Hostess sets for the upcoming catalogue year, called Hand Delivered.  I think you're going to like it.

Here's My Card:
I pulled my colour scheme for this card from the absolutely stunning new designer paper called "Tranquil Textures".  Although you're going to see this designer paper as the focus in many nautical themed projects, it also works well with other themes.  The designs are so beautiful and the colour mix is so soothing.  
The inside features more of the Tranquil Textures paper and a beautiful samp set called "Sorry For Everything".  
Supplies:

Stamp Sets:
Hand Delivered #146808 and Sorry For Everything #143820

Card Stock and Designer Paper:
Whisper White, Mint Macaron, Night of Navy and Tranquil Textures DSP #146331

Ink:  
Mint Macaron, Pineapple Punch, Night of Navy, Momento Tuxedo Black

Accessories:
Sizzix Rectangular Pin Point Frames (Non-SU), Big Shot, Paper Trimmer, Aqua Painter, Dimensionals, Tom Bow Glue, Misti

Details:


1.  This is an A2 card with a top fold.  The card base is a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Whisper White that is scored and folded at 5 1/2".  

2. The first layer is a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Tranquil Textures designer series paper. Because I never like to waste anything, I stamped the girl's skirt in the center of this panel and cut it out before adhering the DSP to the card base.

 3. I used Sizzix Rectangle Pinpoint Dies to cut a 3" x 4" Whisper White panel and a 3 3/8" x 4 3/4" Mint Macaron panel. The Night of Navy panel measures 3 1/8" x 4 1/8" and was cut out with my paper trimmer. All three panels were glued together with Tom Bow glue and then attached to the center of the card with Tear N' Tape. 
The Pinpoint Rectangles add a nice finished touch to these layers.

4.  The image of the girl's skirt and legs was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and cut out with detail scissors.   As noted above I also stamped this image on the center of the DSP layer and fussy cut out just the skirt, which was glued to the Whisper White skirt/legs image. I lightly coloured around the DSP design on the skirt with my aqua painter and Pineapple Punch ink.  The girls legs were coloured with a skin toned blender pen.

5.  To get the mottled effect on the Whisper White layer I applied Mint Macaron ink to an Acryllic Block and stamped it straight onto the card stock.  I stamped the small cluster of dots randomly in Night of Navy ink and then stamped the flowers and coloured them with the Aqua Painter. 

6.  The sign the girl is holding was created by stamping the  image on Whisper White card stock and cutting it out with detail scissors.  I added Dimensionals to the back of this piece and it was attached above the waist band on the girl's skirt.  The sentiment "Hope You Feel Better Soon" was stamped in Night of Navy Ink on Mint Macaron.  This piece was punched out with a 1" square punch and adhered to a 1 1/8" x 1 1/8" layer of Night of Navy cardstock.  These layers were adhered to the center of the sign.  The girls fingers were coloured with a skin toned blender pen. 

7.  For the inside panel I cut a 5 1/4" x 4" panel of Whisper White Card stock and stamped the sentiment "Sorry" in Mint Macaron ink.  The "to hear you're not feeling well" sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink.  Two groupings of flowers were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with an aqua painter.  A 1" x 4" strip of the Tranquil Textures DSP was adhered to the bottom of the panel.  

On June 1st Stampin' Ups! new Annual catalogue will be available and you'll be able to check out all the images for the stamps and papers used in this card.  In the meantime I hope you've enjoyed this new product sneak peak and my card design.

Happy Stamping!

MOJO Monday - MOJO289 Get Well Soon Card


I was a little late with posting my card for the Mojo Monday #289 Sketch Challenge, but that's alright.  The nice thing about these sketch challenges is that you can really do it just as a challenge to yourself and then you can do them anytime.  

I liked the layout on this sketch with its paper splitting theme.  I hadn't tried that before and let me tell you it challenged my accuracy with a cutting blade. It worked out okay in the end, and I'm proud to share my rendition here today.

I chose a Get Well Card theme for this sketch.  I have a few folks who have just recently had surgery or it is imminent and I thought this was a cheery way to express my good thoughts to them.
