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.

Special Passion

These vivid colors jump right off the page toward you. You can easily add any sentiment you need on the card front. Thoughts? 

Special Passion

Stamps:

   Special Reason

Paper:

   Pink Passion A-2, 2" Sq. (2)

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Watercolor 4 x 5-1/4

   Real Red 2" Sq.

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Pink Passion

   Real Red

   Summer Sun

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Watercolor

Accessories:

   Gold Faceted Gems

   Aqua Painter

   Stylish Stems Framelits Dies

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I added three splotches of Summer Sun on a watercolor panel as shown above. I set the panel aside for a couple of minutes to dry.

I then die cut the flower framelits: 2 from Pink Passion and one from Real Red, using the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies. Note that you have to use the detailed petals as well as the whole flower die to detach it. You also have to use each one separately. They do not fit together through the die cutting machine. You can use washi tape to keep them in place if you like. 

Next, I stamped, two flower shapes, using Pink Passion ink on the left side of the card front. I stamped the Real Red flower shape on the right side of the card.

I then matched the framelits to the stamped colors and adhered them, using a Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Next, I adhered the watercolor panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Pink Passion card front.

I then added a gold faceted gem to the center of each flower.

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

Here is another card I made following the steps above, but I added a sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Although I did not use the Christmas Gleaming stamp set, it does coordinate with all of the elements I used on this card. Simply, substitute any of the image stamps in place of the DSP and/or the foil elements. Have some fun! Thoughts?
