Tropical Congratulations

I liked this bright fruity designer series paper. So, I thought why not send a congratulatory greeting with it. Thoughts? 





Stamps:
   A Greeting for All Reasons

Paper:
   Grapefruit Grove A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
   Tropical Oasis DSP 4 x 5-1/4, 4 x 1-1/2
   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   1/4" Organdy Ribbon (Sale-A-Bration 8")
   Tropical Oasis Trinkets
   Mini Glue Dots
   Stampin' Seal+
   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment onto the strip of DSP, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered the strip onto the bottom of the Tropical Oasis DSP panel.

Next, I wrapped 8" of Organdy Ribbon around the card front to hide the seam a bit.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Grapefruit Grove card front.

Next, I attached a Tropical Oasis Trinket beside the sentiment, using a glue dot.

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

Thank you so much for giving me a bit of your time. Please Contact Me if I can return the favor.

Eclectic Birthday

The most challenging part of this card is finding the bits and pieces of designer series paper that will coordinate with each other. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Translucent Florals

Paper:
   Bubble Bath A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
   Delightfully Eclectic DSP 4 x 5-1/4, 1-1/2 x 4-1/2, 3-3/4 x 2-1/2, 3-5/8 x 1-1/4
   Basic White 2 x 2-1/4, 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Calypso Coral

Technique:
   Punching

Accessories:
   Iridescent Pastel Gems
   Corner Rounder Punch
   Banners Pick a Punch
   Adhesive

First, I chose the bits and pieces of DSP that would coordinate, but stand out in the background. 

I then took the 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 piece that will fit vertically from the top and punched the bottom, using the Banners Pick a Punch.

Next, I took the 3-5/8 x 1-1/4 piece and rounded all four corners, using the Corner Rounder Punch.

I then adhered the largest panel of DSP to a Basic Black matte and then onto the Bubble Bath card front.

Next, I added the vertical "banner" piece as shown above.

I then adhered the 3-3/4 x 2-1/2 (black and white) piece, aligning it with the left side of the DSP panel on the card front.

Next, I added the corner rounded piece on top, aligning the right side of the DSP, as shown above.

I then stamped a translucent flower in Calypso Coral and a sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I adhered the stamped piece on top of the DSP, as shown above.

Lastly, I added an Iridescent Pastel Gem to the translucent flower and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Sparkly Thanks

I really like how this specialty paper shines as you move it around. I also decided to add a splash of purple to the mix. Thoughts? 


Sparkly Thanks


Stamps:
   Artistically Inked

Paper:
   Highland Heather A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
   Splash of Sparkles DSP 4 x 5-1/4
   Watercolor Paper 4" Sq. (Tear after coloring)
   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Re-Inker:
   Highland Heather

Technique:
   Watercolor
   Tearing
   CAS

Accessories:
   Aqua Painter
   Pastel Pearls
   Adhesive

First, I watercolored a 4" square of watercolor paper, using Highland Heather ink.

I then stamped a sentiment in the center, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

Next, I tore the watercolor paper around the sentiment, leaving a purple border around it. I tore the paper towards me, exposing the white edge on the border of it. I wanted a rough jagged edge, so I made sure I tore it in different directions without any precision.

I then adhered the Splash of Sparkles DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Highland Heather card front.

Next, I attached the sentiment to the center of the card front, using adhesive. You can easily use dimensionals as well.

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

Here is another card I made, using the same supplies:

Bursting With Charm

Here is a cute layout to try when you have a busy background. I used the Petal Pink Braided Trim and the Pecan Pie strip to somewhat frame the three flowers in the center. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Charming Day

Paper:
   Berry Burst A-2
   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
   Floral Charm DSP 5-1/4 x 4
   Petal Pink 1-1/2" Sq. (3)
   Pecan Pie 5-1/4 x 1/4
   Basic White 1-3/8" Sq. (3), 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Blackberry Bliss

Markers/Blends:
   Berry Burst
   Mossy Meadow

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Petal Pink Braided Trim
   Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots
   Glue Dots
   Adhesive

First, I stamped the three Basic White squares with a flower from the Charming Day stamp set, using Blackberry Bliss.

I then colored the images with markers: Berry Burst and Mossy Meadow.

Next, I adhered them onto a Petal Pink matte and arranged them on the Floral Charm DSP panel. I turned the squares so the leaves would be oriented differently, giving each flower a unique feel. Once, I was happy with the placement, I adhered them.

I then added the Petal Pink Braided Trim across the top of the panel and the Pecan Pie strip to the bottom of the panel. I used glue dots for the trim and liquid adhesive for the Pecan Pie strip.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Berry Burst card front.

Lastly, I added a Charming Shimmer Faceted Dot to the center of each of the flowers and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
