First, I stamped, colored and die cut a couple of magnolias on the squares of Basic White. I used the markers and the Magnolia Memory Dies.

I then adhered the Magnolia Lane DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Mossy Meadow card front.

Next, I stamped a sentiment on the right side of the Basic White 1-1/2 x 4 inch strip, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered it onto the DSP panel as shown above.

I added the two colored magnolias to the left side of the sentiment, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a Frosted Flower and an Elegant Faceted Gem to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card I made using a different sentiment from the same stamp set:

Birthday Ruffles

Adding ink to an embossing folder can give you some surprising results. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   A Grand Kid

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), 2-1/2 x 1-1/4

Ink:

   Petal Pink

   Pool Party

   Real Red

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Stitched Rectangles Framelits

   Pool Party Baker's Twine 36"

   Frosted Flower Embellishments

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I added Petal Pink to the inside of the Cascading Ruffles embossing folder. I gently placed my Basic White panel inside, making sure it did not move. I ran it through the dry embossing machine and set it aside. I then rinsed the embossing folder and dried it.

Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment, using Real Red ink and the Stitched Rectangles Framelits.

I then sponged the edges with a bit of Pool Party.

I took 36 inches of Baker's twine from my stash and wrapped it around the embossed panel. I tied it off with a bow. I fanned out the strands of twine for a bit of a different look.

Next, I adhered the panel to the Pool Party card front and attached the sentiment using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a Frosted Flower embellishment to the sentiment and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Bouquet of Thoughts

I decided to use my paper pumpkin left-overs quickly. Although, I was late in putting my kit together, I was able to make many more cards with the left-overs. It is the box that keeps on giving!

   Sponge

   Glue Dot

   Adhesive

   *Tag, Twine, & Flower Cut-Out - Left-over PP 6/22

First, I sponged the Basic White panel with a bit of Calypso Coral ink.

I then added the flower cut-outs from the Paper Pumpkin 6/22 kit.

Next, I adhered the panel onto the Blackberry Bliss card front.

I then added the tag and twine, also left-over from the kit. I used adhesive on the tag and added the twine with a glue dot.

Straight Face

It's not easy to keep a straight face. How often do you find yourself biting your tongue, digging your fingernails into your palms, or just laughing so hard inside, you are about to burst? My next words are usually, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..." But, we have to be there for each other. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Counting Sheep

   Lighthearted Lines

Paper:

   Blush Blossom A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Irresistibly Yours DSP 5-1/4 x 4

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

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Pale Plum

   Blush Blossom

   Basic Black

   Chalk Marker

Technique:

   CAS

   Blending Brush/Sponging

   Frosted Flower Embellishments

   Adhesive

First, I applied Pale Plum ink to the Irresistibly Yours DSP, using a blending brush. I then wiped it down with a paper towel to let the white petals blossom.

Next, I stamped my sentiment and image on the small panel of Basic White.

I colored in the sheep with markers: face and hooves with Blush Blossom, wool with white chalk, and I outlined his eyes, mouth, nose, and hooves with Basic Black.

I then adhered this panel to the center of the DSP panel. This was then adhered to the Basic Black matte and then onto the Blush Blossom card front.

Lastly, I added a few frosted flower embellishments and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
