Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember ( Picket Fence - Tri Fold Scene Card)

Welcome to the next collaboration for Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember, Shake Your Flake This Season by Picket Fence Studios!

Throughout STAMPtember we will be celebrating every day posting exclusive collaborations, contests, prizes, special promotions, announcements, and more surprises! Simon’s blog will announce what we have planned every day.

Today I'm sharing how to create an extended winter scene card with this exclusive limited edition 6" x 8" STAMPtember Picket Fence Shake Your Flake This Seasons Stamp Set! I love the snowmen in this set so much that I had to use them all! In order to get them to fit a card I decided to use one of my favorite techniques: a one layer tri-fold card featuring stamping, masking, inking, and coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

A 9" x 12" piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock was trimmed to 5 1/2" x 12". Images from the Picket Fence Shake Your Flake This Seasons Stamp Set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and masked as shown.

Hero Hues Splash and Blue Hawaii Reactive Inks were applied over the masked images to create the "sky". Sentiments and snowflakes from the Picket Fence Shake Your Flake This Seasons Stamp Set were stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Lawn Fawn Liquid Shimmer was splattered over the background for additional sparkly "falling snow"

The masks were removed from the card and the images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The markers are linked below in the supplies.

Detail was added to the eyes on the snowmen with a black gel pen.

The card was scored at 4" and 8" to create the tri-fold and so it fits in a standard A2 size envelope!

Honey Bee Stamps | Purrrfect Birthday No Line Coloring Tri-Fold Card

Hello friends! Extended scene tri-fold cards continue to be one of my favorite techniques. I thought it would be fun to incorporate no-line coloring into the mix and create this Purrrfect Birthday No Line Coloring Tri-Fold Scene Card! I combined images from the Oh My Whiskers Stamp Set, Birds and the Bees Stamp Set, Bee Hive Stamp Set, and Bill the Bear Stamp Set for the scene with sentiments from the Purrfect Sentiments Stamp Set and background stenciling with the clouds Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil! This one's going to a dear cat-loving friend for her birthday. I hope she loves it as much as I loved creating it! Let's get started...

For the card base, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12". Once the background is stamped, colored, and stenciled I will score it at 4" and 8". I recommend waiting until the coloring and inking are complete for best results.

I stamped the images from Oh My Whiskers, Birds and the Bees, and Bill the Bear with Inkon3 Fadeout No Line Coloring Ink.

I recommend going ahead and stenciling the background at this point with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and the clouds Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil before coloring to reduce the risk of smearing the Zigs.

The images were colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker Color combinations:

• Branch and leaves: 062 Dark Brown, 064 Oatmeal, 041 Light Green, 053 Yellow Green
• Gray kittens: 902 Natural Gray, 900 Warm Gray 2, 999 Blender, 028 Pale Pink
• Black/white kittens: 902 Natural Gray, 900 Warm Gray 2, 999 Blender, 028 Pale Pink
• Orange kittens: 060 Brown, 061 Light Brown
• Bird: 031 Cobalt Blue, 036 Light Blue, 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow, 055 Pale Yellow
• Butterflies: 030 Blue, 803 English Lavender, 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow, 202 Peach Pink, 200 Sugared Almond Pink
• Bees: 902 Natural Gray, 900 Warm Gray 2, 999 Blender, 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow, 803 English Lavender
• Cattails: 041 Light Green, 053 Yellow Green, 062 Dark Brown, 067 Mustard
• Mushrooms: 062 Dark Brown, 067 Mustard, 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow
• Beehive: 062 Dark Brown, 067 Mustard, 076 Medium Beige
• Bucket: 022 Carmine Red, 021 Light Carmine
• Balloons: 202 Peach Pink, 200 Sugared Almond Pink, 052 Bright Yellow, 050 Yellow, 042 Turquoise Green, 049 Green Shadow, 041 Light Green, 053 Yellow Green, 030 Blue, 803 English Lavender

Sentiments from the Purrfect Sentiments Stamp Set were stamped on the background with Versafine Onyx Black Ink as shown.

Bee "trails" from the Bee Hive Stamp Set were stamped on the behind the butterflies and some of the bees with black ink as well.

A Scor Pal was used to scor the panel at 4" and 8" to finish the design.

Bee Happy Birthday Tri-Fold Extended Scene Card

I can't get enough of tri-fold cards. The bees in the Simon Says Stamp Bee Happy Stamp Set are a nice big size and because I wanted to use multiple bees I decided an extended scene tri-fold card was just the thing. Greetings from the same stamp set and the Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Stamp Set and Hexagon Patterns Stencils were the perfect thing to compliment the sweet bees!

A 9" x 12" piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock was trimmed to 5 1/2" x 12.

The background was stenciled with Wild Honey Distress Ink and a Honey Bee Stamps Hexagon Pattern. I purposely inked some of the areas darker than others for interest.

Greetings from the Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Stamp Set and Simon Says Stamp Bee Happy Stamp Set were stamped over the background with Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink. Images from the Simon Says Stamp Bee Happy Stamp Set were stamped directly over the stenciling with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Because the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and Distress Inks are both water based, it's easy to color over a lightly stenciled background without stamping and masking first. I love how much time this saves!

The following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker color combinations were used to color the images:

• Bees: Natural Gray, Warm Gray 2, Pink Haze, English Lavender, Mustard, Blender
• Hearts: Carmine Red, Light Carmine
• Cupcake: Cobalt Blue, Light Blue, Mustard, Blender, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Bright Yellow
• Honey Pot: Mid Brown, Oatmeal, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Mustard, Blender

Butterflies: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Light Blue, Natural Gray

A Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle Pen was used to add subtle sparkle to the bees' wings.

White and black pen detail was added to the eyes on the bees. More white pen highlights were added to the bees and other images for detail.

The Scor Pal was used to scor the panel at 4" and 8" and folded to complete the design.

Mama Elephant | One Layer Tri-Fold Fly with Me & Friends Card

I love revisiting past designs that I loved to create brand new cards. This card is inspired by last year's Fly With Me Card HERE. I'm combining the Flying With Friends Stamp Set with the Fly With Me Stamp Set. Greetings from the Friendship Sentiments and Color Me Letters stamp sets are the perfect greetings for this thank you friendship card!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this one layer tri-fold card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

This card features very minimal masking. I masked the letter "k" and the foot on one elephant but otherwise, no masking! I stenciled the card first, stamped over the background, then colored and embellished!

 

The 5 1/2" x 12 card base was stenciled with Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink and the MFT Cloud Stencil. This no-masking technique works best with lighter colors of ink. If you want to go with darker colors, stamp and mask first, then stencil. Because Distress Inks and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers are water based so they work together seamlessly!

I stamped the greetings from the Friendship Sentiments and Color Me Letters stamp sets were stamped first. The letter "k" was masked and then I stamped images from the Fly With Me and Flying With Friends stamp sets to finish building the scene.

The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

The design was finished with a scattering of Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Star Confetti.

Honey Bee Stamps | Brie Mine Blog Hop Day 2 (GIVEAWAY)

Hello friends and welcome to the Honey Bee Stamp Brie Mine Release Blog Hop Day 2! Today I'm sharing one of my favorite kinds of cards, tri-fold one layer cards with extreme masking and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The sweets from the Piece of Cake and Mae the Mouse Stamp Sets are perfect for this technique and doesn't this make your mouth water just looking at this yummy display?!!!!

V I D E O  T U T O R I A L

Watch the creation of this one layer tri-fold card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:

 

I always start by trimming Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12" and lightly drawing a pencil line at 4" and 8". Then I start stamping the images I'm using to create the scene. Make sure to stamp the images in the foreground first, mask them, and then stamp the next layer, mask them, and so on. I followed this all the way across the panel until I had filled the entire design with sweet treats.

I drew in a line with a black pen to "ground" the images and create a table or counter for the sweets to be sitting on.

Sentiments from Piece of Cake and Mae the Mouse were stamped above and below the treats as shown. I erased the pencil lines before coloring.

The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I love using water based markers as they don't bleed through the cardstock to the backside of the tri-fold card.

The gift tag was customized with a sentiment from the Piece of Cake Stamp Set. I stamped and embossed the greeting with white embossing powder. The hershey kisses tags were stamped with greetings using red ink.

Prisma Glitter was added to the two "frosted" cupcakes to look like decorative sugar and Glossy Accents was added to the cherries.

Once dry, the card was scored at 4" and 8" to finish the design.

I'm so super excited to share this one layer tri fold beach scene card with you today! The new 5x7 Sandy Toes Stamp Set images were just too stinkin' cute to not use every single one on a card!

I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12 and lightly penciled a line at 4" and 8". I stamped the images from the Sandy Toes Stamp Set along the card base with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and also stamped and cut out masks for each image.

The sky was inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, the sand with Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, and the ocean with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. Foam was created with dabbing Picket Fence paint along the ocean's edge where it meets the sand and a Salty Ocean Distress Marker and water brush pen add detail to the water.

Sentiments from the Sandy Toes Stamp Set were stamped along the "horizon" line was Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. 

The masks were removed and the images colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

A Scor Pal was used to score the card at 4" and 8" to finish the design.

Mama Elephant | Extreme Masking Tri Fold Card

Hello friends! I'm so excited to share this one layer tri-fold card birthday card with you today! Tri fold cards are a great way to extend your cards for a fun surprise for the recipient. I love the look of tri-fold cards, especially one layer cards. They are easy to fold, easy to mail, and there is no white outline from die cutting the images! I'll be sharing tips and tricks on masking, stenciling, what kinds of coloring mediums to use, and how and when to fold your tri-fold card in my video today. Let's get started...

I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12" and gently drew in pencil lines at the 4" and 8" marks to note where the card will be scored (when all the inking and coloring is done! Save this step for last!). 

Next I gently traced the MFT Drifts and Hills Stencil so I knew about where I would be inking the landscape. I stamped and masked the images from the Mama Elephant Tea With Friends and Picnic With Friends stamp sets using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The masks will protect the images from the background stenciling.

The landscape was inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink using the MFT Drifts and Hills Stencil. The cloudy sky was created with the MFT Mini Cloud Edges Stencil and Salty Ocean Distress Ink. The Tim Holtz Layering Woodland Trees were inked with Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover Distress Inks.

The masks were removed and sentiments from the Tea With Friends and Picnic With Friends stamp sets were stamped on the first and last panels of the card design as shown.

The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and details were added with white and black jelly roll pens.

The card was scored at 4" and 8" with a Scor Pal and folded and creased with a Teflon Bone Folder to finish the one layer design.

Mama Elephant Stamp Highlight | Fly With Me (tri-fold card)

Hello! Today the Mama Elephant Design Team is showcasing the new Fly With Me Stamp Set and coordinating dies! I wanted to use all the elephant/balloon images from the stamp set and decided the best way to showcase the cute critters is with a tri-fold card. I love tri-fold cards for giving me plenty of room to build an extended scene! In addition to the Fly With Me images I used the new Hello Friend Script die and Occasional Labels greeting as well as a sentiment from the previously released Hello Friend Wishes, balloons from the Celebration Balloons Stamp Set, and the stars from the Confetti Stamp Set! Mixing and matching is always my very favorite way to create.

To create the base of my tri-fold card, I trimmed the 9x12 Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 5 1/2" x 12 and lightly penciled in lines at 4" and 8". I stamped the elephant/balloon images from the Fly With Me Stamp Set throughout the three "panels" with Versafine Onyx Black Ink. The pencil lines provide a guideline to know exactly where to stamp the focal point images.

Next, without any masking, I stenciled and inked the background with the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil using Blueprint Sketch and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks. I chose not to mask because both Distress Inks and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers are water based meaning the zig markers will cover up the background inking. 

In addition to the Fly With Me images I stamped balloons from the Celebration Balloons Stamp Set to fill in the background. The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I adhered Stick It Adhesive to both sides of a piece of Fun Foam and then adhered smooth white cardstock to one side. I die cut the Hello Friend Script die greeting from the dimensional material, inked it with Blueprint Sketch and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks and adhered the greeting to the top of the extended scene card. 

Next, I stamped an additional sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black Ink using a Occasional Labels greeting, trimmed it into a thin strip and adhered it underneath the dimensional greeting.

I also stamped a sentiment from the Hello Friend Wishes at the bottom of the design.

I finished the card with a scattering of stamped stars using the images from the Confetti Stamp Set.
