Gala Thanks

This is a wonderful layout to use those 1/4" strips of cardstock that fill up our scrap boxes. You can add any of the colors found on the designer series paper panel. I chose Basic Black Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Butterfly Gala

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 2 x 3, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Botanical Butterfly DSP 2 x 5-1/2

   Basic Black 1/4 x 5-1/2 (2)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Stitched Shapes Framelits

   Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder

   Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed the Basic White card front, using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I then adhered the Botanical Butterfly DSP panel onto the center of the card front. 

Next, I added a 1/4" strip of Basic Black to each side of the designer series paper panel.

I then stamped and die cut the sentiment, using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I attached the sentiment toward the bottom of the card front, using dimensionals. You can place the sentiment anywhere on the card front, and change it to suit your current need.

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

Paper:

   Melon Mambo A-2, Brights DSP 3" Sq.

   Chocolate Chip 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1/2 x 2-7/8, Scraps

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I ran the Chocolate Chip panel through the Embossing machine, using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

I then adhered this panel to the Melon Mambo card front, using liquid adhesive.

Next, I stamped the tall vase with Misty Moonlight and the ferns with Garden Green.

Using the Earthen Textures Dies, I die cut the vase and the ferns.

I then took the 3" square of Melon Mambo designer paper from the Brights collection and ran it through with the fan like die cut. I folded the top edges a bit to give it some dimension.

I added the Melon Mambo image to the card front with a glue dot. I lined it up with the top edge of the Chocolate Chip panel. 

I then adhered the Misty Moonlight vase with some liquid adhesive, as well as the Garden Green ferns. (I snipped the bottom stem of the ferns.)

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White strip, using Misty Moonlight and punched the edges with the Banners Pick a Punch. I attached it with a few dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a Clear Faceted Gem to the Melon Mambo floral, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Textured Birthday

Dry emboss a panel of vellum and be amazed at the results. As the fibers are broken up by the embossing, the vellum turns white. I really like the look and feel that is created. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Amazing Silhouettes

   Best Year

Paper:

   Evening Evergreen A-2

   Vellum 5-1/4 x 4

   Soft Succulent 2-1/2 x 3-1/2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Evening Evergreen

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder

   Genial Gems

   Stampin' Seal+

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed a vellum panel.

I then stamped my image and sentiment on a piece of Soft Succulent.

I adhered the stamped panel to the center of the vellum panel.

Next, I applied Stampin' Seal+ to the back of the vellum behind the Soft Succulent piece and added it to the card front. This will keep the marks left by the adhesive hidden from view.

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

Leaves Forever

I used two different embossing folders to create the faux tin metal squares behind the image. Surprisingly, I only applied one layer of silver embossing powder to my paper. I can't decide which one I like better. Thoughts?

Leaves Forever

Stamps:

   Queen Anne's Lace

   Forever Fern

Paper:

   Strawberry Slush A-2, 4-1/4 x 2-1/4

   Mossy Meadow 4-1/2 x 2-1/2

   Whisper White 4 x 2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Sahara Sand 8-1/2 x 2-3/4 (10 - 1-1/4" Sq.)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Strawberry Slush

   Mossy Meadow

   VersaMark

Technique:

   Faux Tin Metal

Accessories:

   Layered Leaves/Painted Texture Embossing Folder

   Silver Embossing Powder

   1-1/4" Sq. Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

Here is another card using the Painted Texture Embossing Folder instead of the Layered Leaves. Which do you like better?

Leaves Forever Too

First, I created my faux tin metal squares. I covered the Sahara Sand strip with VersaMark, applied silver embossing powder, and heat set it. I then punched out ten 1-1/4" squares. I then glued these onto the outer edges of the Basic Black panel. The center of the panel will be covered with an image.

If you do not have a square punch, you can score lines on the strip and fussy cut them after the heat embossing has cooled.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Strawberry Slush card front. Strawberry Slush has been discontinued, but you can choose Melon Mambo, Magenta Madness, Poppy Parade, or choose your favorite hue.

Next, I stamped and colored my image. I also stamped my sentiment on it. 

I adhered the Whisper White panel onto the Strawberry Slush, and then onto the Mossy Meadow. This panel was attached to the center of the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones and adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Granny Art

 Create more backgrounds by adding ink to your embossing folder. I like the dramatic look and textured feel on this background. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Coastal Cabana A-2

   Whisper White 2-1/2 x 3 (2), 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scrap

Ink:

   Coastal Cabana

   Gorgeous Grape

   Granny Apple Green

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

   Stamp-Off

   2-Step Stamping

Accessories:

   Painted Texture 3-D Embossing Folder

   Floral Gallery Dies

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I applied my Granny Apple Green to the smooth side of the embossing folder. I dabbed a bit of Coastal Cabana on a bit of it, but I didn't want to mix my colors on my ink pads.

I carefully placed my Whisper White panel in the center of the embossing folder and ran it through my machine, making sure the white panel did not move. I did rinse and dry my embossing folder right after using it. 

Next, I stamped my flowers using Gorgeous Grape. I stamped-off once before adding the first step. The second step (accents) I added the ink at full strength. I die cut these using the Floral Gallery Dies. I attached the flowers to the top of the embossed panel using dimensionals.

I then used Coastal Cabana to stamp my sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White. I die cut it and attached it with dimensionals.

I added rhinestones to give the card a bit of glimmer.

Lastly, I adhered the embossed panel to the Coastal Cabana card base. The other Whisper White panel was added to the inside of the card.
