New Year’s Eve – out with the old – Medley Mix. I know I should have found time to make a new year type card, but it was panic stations because I’d invested in this stamp set called Medley Mix and hadn’t got round to inking it up yet. I already had the Ink & Tiled bundle which came with the Ink & Tiled Punch pack so thought that the Medley Mix would be a good addition. So, here’s a medley of cards before Medley Mix retires.
Boho Blue/Misty Moonlight Card
- Use the block stamp to stamp the whole of the front mat layer to create a patterned background
- Punched a 1 ¾” circle from More Dazzle 6″x 6″ specialty paper
- Embellish the card with 2023-2025 In Color dots and 2023-2025 In Color Jute
- Inks used – Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight
Beginners card
- This little card is from the Memories & More Cards & Envelops pack. Stamp the circular design directly on to the card with Bubble Bath ink.
- On a scrap of paper, stamp “hello friend” with the same colour ink – trim. Add dimensionals on back of sentiment and adhere to the card .
Casual Crafter card
- In the Memories & More Cards & Envelops pack, there are also some large cards which measure 4 ½” x 6 ½”. Additional card stock used is Berry Burst and Gorgeous Grape.
- Stamp 4 stitched stars in Fresh Freesia in bottom right half of the card front
- Die cut a Stitched circle with the second to smalles Stylish Shapes circle die.
- Use post-it note to mask half the stamp and the stamp, ink up with Gorgeous Grape ink, remove mask before stamping on Basic White card stock.
- Mask the stamped Gorgeous Grape half, clean stamp and ink up with Berry Burst and stamp to get this dual toned effect on the circular stamp.
- Die cut this circular image with the smallest Stylish Shapes circle die.
- Stamp “Congratulations” with Versamark on Berry Burst card stock, sprinkle with white embossing powder and heat set.
- Then die cut with the narrow double end flag die from Stylish Shapes Dies set.
Inside card
I messed up, so I turned the card inside out so it could still be used but this meant that I had to cover up the messed up bit with a mat layer in Berry Burst and add an extra layer for stamping on.
- Cut a Berry Burst Mat layer 6″ x 4″ and adhere inside.
- Second mat layer in Basic White cut at 5 ¾” x 3 ¾”.
- Use the circular pattern stamp to stamp in the bottom left corner in Berry Burst ink.
- Clean stamp and ink up with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamp the opposite corner top right.
- Adhere to Berry Burst Mat layer and adhere both layers to card base.
Avid crafter – Soft Sea Foam card
- Stamp two each of the striped pattern and the stitched outline pattern with the cross-like stamps and punch out.
- Die cut a frame in Basic White card stock with the largest Radiating Stitches Die and adhere to the Soft Sea Foam card base.
- Assembled them in a grid-like formation on dimensionals on the Radiating Stitches Die cut frame.
- Use the circle pattern to stamp on Basic White card stock and punch out with a 1 ¾” circle punch.
- Stamp the cross-stitch pattern and zig zag pattern stamps on Soft Sea Foam card stock, trim and adhere behind circle.
- On a scrap of Basic White, stamp “happy birthday” and fussy cut. Adhere to Soft Sea Foam card stock and leave a ⅛” border and fussy cut that too.
- Adhere with glue dots on top of the circle.
- Stamp a variety of stitches at random on the frame.
