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? 




Stamps:
   Simply Said

Paper:
   Mint Macaron A-2
   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2-1/2" Sq.
   Butterfly Bijou 6x6 DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 2" Circle
   Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 DSP 5-1/4 x 1-1/4
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   Punching
   CAS

Accessories:
   2" Circle Punch
   Brushed Brass Butterflies
   Genial Gems
   Adhesive

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

I then adhered the Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 DSP strip to the lower part of the card front. It fits perfectly across the DSP panel already in place. Do not cover the Basic Black matte.

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.

Next, I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies and some Genial Gems to the card front.

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

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
   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

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.

Birthday Moments

Birthdays should always be celebrated because you never know when it will be your last one. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Happy Moments
   Birthday Whimsey

Paper:
   Tangelo Twist A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8, 2-1/4" Sq., 3/16 x 5-1/4
   Birthday Bash DSP 4 x 5-1/4
   Basic White 2-1/8" Sq., 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:
   Bermuda Bay
   Calypso Coral
   Crushed Curry
   Night of Navy
   Tangelo Twist

Technique:
   Coloring
   Precise Stamping

Accessories:
   Stamp-a-ma-jig
   Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware
   Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon
   Blooming Pearls
   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.
