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.

Mambo Garden

I was so excited to be able to use some brads on this card. I seem to still have an endless supply of these in various colors. So, I am constantly trying to find ways to use them. Any thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Melon Mambo A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Garden Impressions DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Subtles Brads 

   Adhesive 

First, I added a So Saffron Brad to the center of each flower on the Garden Impressions DSP panel.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then adhered it onto a Melon Mambo card front.

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

You can easily attach a tag with a sentiment for a specific occasion. I chose to leave it as is and use it for whatever occasion is needed in the future. Its purpose will be determined by the message I personally write on the inside.

My Rolling Eyes

Whenever possible, I like to stamp directly onto the Designer Series Paper. What about you? Do you have a preference? 

My Rolling Eyes

Stamps:

   A Little Snarky by Sweet 'n Sassy

Paper:

   Old Olive A-2

   Chocolate Chip 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Tea & Crumpets DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 1-1/2 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Subtles Brads

   Googly Eyes

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, onto the center of a 1-1/2 x 4 inch strip of the Tea & Crumpets DSP. I chose a section without flowers.

I then adhered the sentiment onto the larger DSP panel, matching the lines as close as possible.

Next, I attached some So Saffron Brads onto the center of the flowers.

I then adhered the panel onto a Chocolate Chip matte and then added it to an Old Olive card front.

Lastly, I added some googly eyes to draw attention to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card, using the same products, but with the sentiment directly on the larger panel with fewer flowers. I hope you like it as well.

Delightful Birthday Wreath

These brads fit perfectly in the center of these daisies. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Delightful Day

Paper:

   Pear Pizzazz A-2

   Pressed Petals DSP 5-1/2 x 4-1/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Basic Black

   Merry Merlot

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Brads - Subtles

   Adhesive

First, I cut the card front panel from the 12 x 12 DSP panel.

I then stamped the sentiment in the center of the wreath, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I outlined and colored the confetti, using markers.

I then adhered the panel onto the Pear Pizzazz card front.

Next, I added a yellow brad to the center of each daisy. You can add a panel (Pear Pizzazz or Basic White) to the back of the card front. This will hide the stems from the brads. I left mine alone.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card. This allows the sender to write their own personal message to the birthday person.

Vellum Roses

I think vellum adds a beautiful elegance to any project. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Stippled Roses

Paper:

   Bashful Blue A-2

   Lovely Layers Vellum 3-3/4 x 5

   Rose Red 3-1/4 x 5

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Stippled Roses Dies

   Subtles Brads

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the image in the center of the vellum panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and making sure to not touch the image.

I then stamped the sentiment under the image as shown above. I then set the panel aside for drying. Note: The ink will smudge if you touch it.

Next, I die cut the floral shape, using the Stippled Roses Die and Rose Red panel.

I then placed the Rose Red shape under the stamped image on the vellum. I carefully placed these on the card front. You can add a couple of pencil marks on the card front to know the placement of the Rose Red die cut, or you may just eye-ball it.

Next, I adhered the Rose Red die cut onto the Bashful Blue card front.

I then aligned the stamped vellum panel, making sure the image lined up with the Rose Red panel. I secured the vellum with a brad on each corner of the vellum. Make sure the card is open and you are only adding the brad to the card front and not the entire card. You can add a Basic White or Bashful Blue panel behind the card front to hide the brads, or leave it alone, as I did.

Lastly, I added a couple of rhinestones to the roses and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Spotlight

Use a clear block to create a watercolor wash background. Simply color the clear block with a marker, spray it with a bit of water, and stamp. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Spotlight on Nature

Paper:

   Bravo Burgundy A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Bravo Burgundy

Markers:

   So Saffron

Technique:

First, I colored my clear block "E" with a So Saffron marker.

I then sprayed it with a bit of water, and then stamped my Basic White panel in the center. I did let it sit for a few seconds to make sure the color was absorbed by the paper.

Next, I stamped the flower image, using Bravo Burgundy ink. 

I then stamped the butterfly on the top right corner of the watercolor wash, and the sentiment on the bottom right, as shown above. 

I then added three So Saffron brads under the sentiment.

I let it dry for a couple of minutes. 

Next, I adhered it to the Garden Green panel and tied a Bravo Burgundy ribbon around the panel.

I then adhered it to the Bravo Burgundy card front.

Next, I stamped the fir tree, using Garden Green, onto the Ivory panel. I tore the bottom edge.

I then adhered it onto the Bravo Burgundy panel and stamped the greeting on the bottom of the panel.
