Favored Thanks

I curled my ribbon and draped it from one end to the other to create a bit of interest. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Kindest Expressions

Paper:

   Mossy Meadow A-2

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Favored Flowers DSP 4 x 5-1/4

   Fresh Freesia 3-3/4 x 2-1/4

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon 13"

   Textured Notes Dies

   2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I curled the Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon, using a pencil. You can also curl it around your finger or just twist it in one direction to form a circular motion. 

I then adhered the ribbon to the top-back of the Favored Flowers DSP panel, using glue dots. Honestly, I played with the ribbon for quite a while, until I achieved a look that I liked. 

Next, I adhered the Favored Flowers DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Mossy Meadow card front.

I then stamped and die cut a sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the Textured Notes Dies.

Next, I attached the sentiment to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

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.

Next, I adhered this panel onto the Bubble Bath card front.

First, I stamped the grasses using Mossy Meadow, and a sand dollar using Sahara Sand.

I then used the Seaside Seashells Dies to cut them.

Next, I cut my DSP panel and strip. I stamped my sentiment on the 3/4 x 4" strip using Tuxedo Black Memento. I adhered it to the bottom of the DSP panel.

I then adhered this panel onto the Basic Black panel and then onto the Seaside Spray card base.

I attached the sand dollar with dimensionals and added the grasses with adhesive. 

I found a left-over glittered sand dollar and starfish from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit and decided to attach them to the card front.

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