Creation Station – Artfully Stepped Up

September 5, 2021 by Mikaela Titheridge 5 Comments

Welcome to the Creation Station Blog Hop where this month we’re sharing things that are Artfully Stepped Up.

The Creation Station Design Team and Artisan Design Team Member 2019, Mikaela Titheridge, UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

Welcome to this month’s blog hop, where we are sharing our Artfully Stepped Up projects to inspire you. A series of stepped up cards can be a fun way of advancing and using your products. Being a lover of texture, layers and detail, I often find peeling things back a little difficult. I often start with the stepped up version and peel things backwards, rather than Step it up.

I hope you’ve seen what inspiration Yvonne Spikmans – Van Bruggen has shared with us today before joining me and if not, that you’ll hop round to see all of the inspiration.

My peeled back card consisted of a white card base and a simple Gray Granite layer. Stamping the floral image from the Hand-Penned Bundle in Whisper White Craft Ink, I added a simple sentiment.

The Lovely Labels Pick a Punch is perfect for adding detail to a sentiment panel. Mounting this over a pretty Blushing Bride ribbon, I added a scattering of Elegant Faceted Gems.

Artfully Stepped Up

This next card steps things up a little, as I add more texture, layers and detail.

Stamping the same image over the same colour matting layer, I coloured the flower heads with a Chalk marker. Using a chalk marker on a darker cardbase, allows you to add colour easily. Very subtly, I added Calypso Coral from a Watercolour Pencil before Embossing the entire panel with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. This gives great texture and interest.

Stepping things up, I die cut from Basic White cardstock, a skeleton flourish of flowers to sit beneath my ribbon layer. This time I Die cut a label form the Meadow Dies set, which also has this cute little tag.

Detail like the Elegant Faceted Gems and a Gray Granite Twine Bow, help to finish this card beautifully.

I was pleased with the finish of these two cards and I hope I have inspired you.

Something Old, Something New, Something borrowed, Something Old, Something New, Something borrowed, Something Blue is the theme for today's Let's Get Hopping InstaHop. Based from a card layout borrowed from former 2019 Artisan, Jackie Aitken, I proceeded to use the new Nature's Print Bundle. My sentiment came from a retired stamp set, Heartfelt Wishes. 

Could you work with this theme?
