Flirty Thank You

I used the leftover centers from the Gallery Blooms Frame Die to adorn my card front. I matted them with a bit of Basic Black to get them to stand out a bit more. What do you think?

   Textured Notes

Paper:

   Flirty Flamingo A-2

First, I matted each of the Berry Delightful DSP leftover centers from the Gallery Blooms Dies, using Basic Black. I included the measurements of the pieces in case you just need to create your own panels.

I then adhered these two panels to the Flirty Flamingo card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the top-right corner of the card front, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then added a bow to the lower left-side of the card front, using a glue dot.

Lastly, I added a few In-Color Enamel Shapes and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Blue Ribbon

Using Ephemera Packs is the most difficult way for me to create a card or project of any kind. Prefabricated images, sentiments, or die cuts are difficult for me to piece together. Having an open "canvas" with coordinating products is best for me. What about you? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes

   Basic Black Scrap

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

   Ephemera Packs

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Perfectly Pears Dies

   Saying Something Ephemera Pack

   Something for Everything Ephemera Pack

   Colored Dots by Crafter's Square

   Glue Dots

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I went through the Saying Something Ephemera Pack and chose a sentiment: Congrats.

I then grabbed two cards & envelopes from the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes.

Next, I went through the Something for Everything Ephemera Pack and chose a ribbon and banner.

I placed these elements on the card front and decided to add a mesh under the ribbon to help it stand out a bit more. So, I die cut the Basic Black mesh, using the Perfectly Pears Dies. 

Next, I adhered all of these pieces onto the card front, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen for the sentiment, glue dots for the mesh and the ribbon, and finally adhesive for the banner.

Lastly, I added a few colored dots by Crafter's Square and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Special Congratulations

I like the vintage look and feel of this card. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Special Reason

Paper:

   River Rock A-2

   Basic Black 3-7/8 x 3-3/8, 2-5/8" Circle, 1-3/4" Oval

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 2-1/2" Circle, 1-7/8" Oval

   Springtime Vintage DSP 1-1/8 x 3-1/8 (3), 3-3/4 x 3-3/16

   Real Red 2-3/4" Sq.

Ink:

   Rose Red 

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

Accessories:

   Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder

   Layering Circles Framelits

   Layering Ovals Framelits

   Double Oval Punch

   2-1/2" Circle Punch

   Stylish Stems Framelits

   Red Rhinestone Circle Brads (Large & Small)

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

I know the list is long and it does make everything seem complicated, but I assure you it is NOT. I have used quite a bit of products, but that is because they are part of my supplies. You, on the other hand, can keep it simple. For example, you can omit all of the paper layers and embellishments. Adhere 3 pieces of DSP directly on the card front. Add the floral and sentiment on the DSP. Keep the embellishments down to a rhinestone or dot of some sort. Now, on to what I did...

First, I dry embossed the card front, using the Eyelet 3D embossing folder.

Next, I adhered the three strips of DSP onto the 3-3/4 x 3-3/16 DSP piece.

I then matted this with a Basic Black matte. This panel was then adhered directly onto the card front by placing it at an angle.

I then stamped the floral image, using Rose Red ink, and punched it out with the 2-1/2" Circle punch.

Next, I die cut the matching floral framelit in Real Red and adhered it onto the floral image, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. 

I adhered it onto a Basic Black matte and then added a Red Circle Brad to the center. This was then adhered on top of the DSP panel as shown above.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and punched it out, using the Double Oval Punch. I added this onto a Basic Black matte. I added a small red circle brad to each end and attached it to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Note: the Basic Black Circle and Oval mattes were die cut using the Layering Circle & Oval Framelits. If you do not have these, omit them, or fussy cut them.

Hooray

This card might need some extra padding or postage if you mail it because the rosette is on dimensionals and pops up quite a bit. You might even add a layer of bubble wrap before placing it in an envelope. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Round We Go

Paper:

   Mango Melody A-2

   Dandy Designs DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 5-1/2 x 1-3/4 (2)

   Petal Pink 2" Sq. (2)

   Calypso Coral 2" Sq.

   Mango Melody 2" Sq.

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1-3/4" Circle, 2-1/2" Sq., 3-1/4 x 1 

Ink:

   Calypso Coral

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-3/4" Circle Punch

   Round We Go Dies

   Stylish Shapes Framelits

   Iridescent Pastel Gems

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Dandy Designs DSP panel onto the Mango Melody card front. Note that the orientation of the card is horizontal or landscape.

I then die cut all of the pieces, using the Round We Go Dies:

    5-1/2 x 1-3/4 DSP - I cut 2 pieces, folded them like an accordion and adhered them together to form a circle like a bracelet.

   Petal Pink 2" Sq. - I cut 2 rosettes with pointy ends. I used pink DSP so that you could see and notice them in the picture above. I used one for each rosette.

    Calypso Coral & Mango Melody 2" Sq. - Cut each one with a pointy rosette and adhered each one with a pink rosette. I added adhesive to the center circle.

    I used the 1-3/4" Basic White circle as the base for the large rosette. If you gently smash one end of the rosette (not the pointy end) toward the center, you can adhere it to the center of the Basic White circle. You will need to hold it down for a minute or so, to make sure it glues. Use any strong glue, large glue dots...

    2-1/2" Basic White Sq. was used as the base for the smaller rosette.

    3-1/4 x 1 Basic White strip was used for the sentiment. Stamp and then die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Framelits.

Next, I added the rosettes and sentiment to the card front as shown above. The smaller rosette was attached with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
