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.

Thank You Butterflies

I think the movement of the butterflies in the background was perfect for this layout. Plus, having two-sided designer series paper made it easy to flip it for the circled sentiment and still have the colors match perfectly. Thoughts?

First, I adhered the Butterfly Bijou 6x6 DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Mint Macaron card front.

Next, I stamped and punched out the sentiment, using the 2" Circle Punch. 

I then adhered this circle onto the center of a 2-1/2" Basic Black square and adhered it to the bottom-left side of the card front, over the strip of DSP, as shown above.

Birthday Impressions

I have a difficult time using items from an ephemera pack. I look through each of the packs in hopes of using something, since I bought them, but there is always something that doesn't quite fit: size, color, font, or style. So, I started trying to create a card for the use of the item. This too, I find quite difficult. Any suggestions? Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Grapefruit Grove A-2

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Lily Impressions DSP 4 x 5-1/4

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Saying Something Ephemera Pack

   Rhinestone Basic Jewels

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Lily Impressions DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then adhered it onto the Grapefruit Grove card front.

I then added the sentiment from the Saying Something Ephemera Pack, using a Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Next, I randomly added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels for a bit of bling.

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

Accessories:

   Mini Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Birthday Bash DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Tangelo Twist card front.

I then stamped my image and sentiment onto the Basic White square. Both of my stamps are mounted on wooden blocks, so I dusted off my stamp-a-ma-jig and used it to center both on the square. 

Next, I colored in my image, using the markers listed above. I chose the colors to match the various pieces of confetti on the DSP.

I then matted the Basic White square with some Basic Black and adhered it onto the top-left corner of the card front.

Next, I adhered a strip of Basic Black to the right side of the card front.

I then took a bit of Bermuda Bay Polka Dot ribbon and threaded it through an Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware. I trimmed off the edges as shown and attached it to the lower-right side of the card front, using glue dots.

Lastly, I added a few pearls to the cake for decoration and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
