Thank You Garden

I was able to use the reverse side of the designer series paper (DSP) to stamp my sentiment. I like that it added a splash of color to it. What do you think? 




Stamps:
   Abstract Impressions

Paper:
   Mango Melody A-2
   Powder Pink 3-1/4 x 5-1/4, 7/8 x 2-1/2
   Garden Impressions DSP 3/4 x 2-3/8, 3 x 5
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Night of Navy

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Basic Rhinestone Jewels
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I cut and adhered the DSP panel to the Powder Pink panel.

I then adhered this panel to the left side of the Mango Melody card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the reverse side of the left-over DSP. I cut it to size and matted it with a bit of Powder Pink. I attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones to the upper right side of the card front and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside.

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

Thanks Golden Stars

Create a card front without stamping! This is easy when you have decorative die cuts on hand. I always try to punch out hearts, stars, or other small shapes with the extra small pieces of foil before they go in the trash. Keeping these readily available can help to embellish your project. What do you think? 




Stamps:
   None

Paper:
   Merry Merlot A-2
   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Gold Metallic 3-1/2 x 4-1/2, 2-1/2 x 1

Ink:
   None

Technique:
   Die Cutting

Accessories:
   Flourishing Thinlits Dies
   Well Written Framelits
   Myths & Magic Washi Tape
   Itty Bitty Accents Punch
   Glue Dots
   Fine-Tip Glue Pen
   Adhesive

First, I die cut the flourish and sentiment out of Gold Metallic Paper. I punched out stars from the extra pieces on the panel. 

Note, this die is so intricate that the gold metallic paper gets stuck. I tore the die cut in three places while I was removing it. I think I did a fairly decent job putting it back together on the card front. I used the fine-tip glue pen to adhere it.

I then placed a strip of silver washi tape on the bottom of the panel.

Next, I adhered the sentiment right above the strip of washi tape.

I then added a few gold stars and adhered the panel to the Merry Merlot card base.

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

Beautiful Thank You

Color your images quickly with this two-step stamp set. Step 1 stamps the outline of the image and Step 2 fills in the color. The set is a photopolymer stamp set, so alignment is not a problem. If you would like to get your hands on this set, you will have to go shopping on my online store and purchase $50 worth of product. You have only until the end of February to earn this beautiful stamp set. Don't delay! Thoughts?




Stamps:
   Beautifully Happy (SAB)

Paper:
   Fresh Freesia A-2
   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:
   Balmy Blue
   Fresh Freesia

   2-Step Stamping

Accessories:

First, I stamped the large floral arrangement in the center of the Basic White panel using Pacific Point.

Next, I filled in the flowers with Balmy Blue, the leaves with Mossy Meadow, and the small flowers with Fresh Freesia.

I then added two small flowers on either side using Polished Pink. I then filled them with Fresh Freesia and the buds with Balmy Blue.

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom right with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I dabbed a few dots or sprinkles using Balmy Blue.

I added a strip of ribbon to the bottom of the panel and then adhered it to the Basic Black matte and then onto the Fresh Freesia card base. 

Lastly, I added a few in-color jewels and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card using the same things, but I placed the ribbon at the top of the panel. Which one do you like better?

First, I stamped my sentiment using Evening Evergreen on the top of a Basic White panel.

I then randomly stamped the small group of flowers, using Orchid Oasis and Pool Party (Step 1). I then added the detail using Calypso Coral and Night of Navy (Step 2).

I added the large leaves with Evening Evergreen.

Next, I stamped the two larger flowers on a scrap of Basic White. One flower was stamped using Orchid Oasis with Calypso Coral and the other using Pool Party with Night of Navy.

I then die cut these two with the Two-Tone Flora Dies. I attached them to the card front with dimensionals. I then decided to add a couple of leaves to the large flowers with a bit of Soft Succulent ink.

I then cut two strips of the fine shimmer paper and added one to each side of the Basic White panel.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a DSP panel and then onto the Early Espresso card base.

I tied a bow with the Natural Finish Ribbon and attached it to the bottom of the card, using a glue dot.

Lastly, I added two brushed metallic dots and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
