Silver Flower

I like finding new ways to arrange my designer series paper on a card front to create a new card. Without a sentiment, I call these all-occasion cards and use them to celebrate any occasion that comes along. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Melon Mambo A-2

   Basic Black 2-1/8 x 4-1/8 (2), 1-5/8" Sq., 1" Sq. (2)

   Garden Impressions 6x6 DSP 2 x 4 (2), 1-1/2" Sq., 7/8" Sq. (2)

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Floral Silver Brad

   Subtle Brads (2)

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut the Garden Impressions DSP pieces along with the matching Basic Black pieces.

I then adhered the DSP piece onto its Basic Black matte. Each Basic Black matte is 1/8 larger than its corresponding DSP piece.

Next, I adhered the larger DSP panels onto the card front, with one panel overlapping the other a bit, as shown above.

I then added a subtle brad to the center of each of the small squares and a Floral Silver Brad to the center of the larger square.

Next, I placed these on the card front as shown above and then attached them, using dimensionals.

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

Christmas Ribbon

Sometimes, everything we need is sitting right in front of us. It is already made. All we need to do is bring it together to create something new. What do you think about this one? 

Christmas Ribbon

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Brightly Gleaming DSP 4 x 5-1/4

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements

   Natural Finish Ribbon 8" (3)

   Classic Weave Ribbon

   Clear Faceted Gems

   Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels

   Stampin' Seal

   Mini Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I wrapped three strips of the Natural Finish Ribbon around a panel of Brightly Gleaming DSP. I used glue dots to keep the ribbon in place. Stampin' Seal will also work.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Very Vanilla card front.

Next, I cut a sentiment from the Classic Weave Ribbon and placed it on the top-left side of the card to get a sense of the spacing.

I then searched through the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements and chose two leaves and an ornament for the card front.

Next, I placed these on the card front and then attached them, using glue dots.

I then snipped the ends of the ribbon sentiment and adhered it with Stampin' Seal.

Next, I chose to add a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and some Clear Faceted Gems to the card front.

Lastly, I adhered a Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card, using a Large Copper Star and two small ones from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements:

Polished Thanks

I hate to cover up beautiful paper. So, when I came across this sketch challenge, I had to grab this beautiful designer series paper pack and display a piece of it on this card front. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Go To Greetings

Paper:

   Polished Pink A-2

   Basic Black 3-3/4 x 3-5/8

   Expressions in Ink DSP 3-1/4 x 2-3/4 

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside) 

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Paper Piecing

Accessories:

   Clear Faceted Gems

   2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds

   Adhesive

First, I cut the Expressions in Ink DSP panel into 3 columns, cutting at the 1-1/16" mark for each one. Remember to measure twice and cut once.

I then took each column and cut 6 rectangles, measuring 7/16 each. Keep these in order and in the right direction. I laid mine out on top of the Basic Black panel.

Next, I took each piece and adhered it onto the Basic Black panel, keeping them as evenly spaced and straight as possible. Liquid adhesive is best because you can still move it for a few seconds before it sets permanently.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Polished Pink card front.

Next, I stamped my sentiment underneath the image, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Lastly, I added a couple of Clear Faceted Gems to the image, a couple of Opal Rounds to the sentiment, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

The Meadow

Create an interesting effect with this cutting and spacing technique. Choose an image and simply cut it into symmetrical pieces. Adhere it onto a solid complementary color with even spacing between the pieces. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Highland Heather A-2

   Basic White 4-1/8 x 5-3/8, 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

   Meandering Meadows DSP 4 x 4-1/2 (Cutting instructions below)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   Paper Piecing

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Basic White panel onto the Highland Heather card front.

I then took the Meandering Meadows DSP panel and cut it into sections with 1/8" or 1/4" spacing. Keep the pieces in order: Begin on bottom and cut 4 strips: 3-1/2 x 1/2 each. Lay them on the Basic White panel on the card front. 

Next, the remaining piece is cut vertically. I trimmed about 1/8" from each side first to keep the image I wanted in the center. I then cut the top left piece at 1/2 x 2, middle is 2-1/4 x 2, top right is 1/2 x 2. I laid these out on the top of the Basic White panel. 

Once the pieces were positioned where I wanted them, I added adhesive and adhered them permanently. 

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

Rococo Rose Pearls

I used a strip of the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate between the two strips of designer series paper. I think it adds a bit of interest and breaks it up a bit. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

Paper:

   Rococo Rose A-2

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Hydrangea Hill DSP 4 x 5-1/4, 3/4 x 4, 1/4 x 4, 2-1/2" Scalloped Circle

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None 

Technique:

   CAS

   Die Cutting

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the flowers from the Hydrangea Hill DSP, using the Layering Circles Framelits Dies.

I then adhered the 4 x 5-1/4" DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Rococo Rose card front.

Next, I added the 3/4 x 4" Hydrangea Hill DSP strip to the bottom of the card front.

I then adhered the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate, a bit above the DSP strip, followed by the 1/4 x 4" strip above the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate. I used a couple of glue dots to adhere the acetate to the card front.

Next, I adhered the scalloped circle die cut with the flowers to the center of the card front, as shown above.

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