Four at a Time

Make four different cards at one time. Simply choose four colors, patterns, and sentiments that can work together. Thoughts?

Praying for You Now

Welcome

You're So Sweet

Just Because 4

Stamps:

   Circle Circus

Paper:

   Strawberry Slush A-2 (2)

   Pistachio Pudding A-2 (2)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (4 for Stamping & 4 for Inside), Scraps

Ink:

   Coastal Cabana

   Crisp Cantaloupe

   Pistachio Pudding

   Strawberry Slush

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Swirls Embossing Folder (Cuttle Bug)

   Fancy Fan Embossing Folder

   Square Lattice Embossing Folder

   Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder

   Hodgepodge Hardware (Vanilla, Silver, Antique)

   Adhesive

I chose a stamp set that had circles with various patterns on them to stamp my backgrounds. I chose one color for each pattern. I stamped the 4 Basic White panels, using a stamp from the Circle Circus stamp set and one color from those listed above. I covered the entire panel with that pattern and color. 

I also wanted a different texture to each panel. So, I ran each panel through the die cutting and embossing machine, using a different embossing folder for each. They are listed above under accessories.

Next, I cut each panel exactly the same and then exchanged the cut panels so that each card had a piece from each of the other cards. 

    First cut was to cut one inch from the four inch side of each panel. 

    Second cut was to cut 1-3/4 off the 5-1/4" side of each 3 x 5-1/4" panel.

    Third cut was to cut 2" off the 5-1/4" side of each 1 x 5-1/4" panel.

I then found four sentiments that fit inside each of the Hodgepodge Hardware frames. I stamped them on scraps of Basic White, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I traced the frame for each one and fussy cut it to fit securely into each frame. You can also just add a glue dot behind it and then place the frame to fit directly on top of it.

I then added a sentiment and frame to each of the 3 x 3-1/2" panels and secured them with their matching brads. 

Next, I arranged each of the pieces onto 4 card bases as shown above. I chose to use only two of the colors as card bases.

Lastly, I adhered each panel onto the card front and added a Basic White panel to the inside of each card.

Live Well

Cutting two designer series paper panels at the same time, makes this technique a cinch. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Oh My Goodies

   Hello Life

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Stacked With Love DSP 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 (2)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scraps

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Starburst 

Accessories:

   Deco Labels Collection Framelits

   1/4" Black Grosgrain Ribbon 5-1/2"

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut two sheets of designer series paper together to be able to alternate colors. Each pattern is to face up so that every other triangle is switched between panels. I cut from the center of the panel outward to the edge, keeping the corners intact.

I then placed the triangles on the Basic White panel as shown above, creating the starburst effect. I adhered each piece to the Basic White panel. Trim off any excess.

Next, I added some black ribbon to hide the seam of the pattern paper and the Basic White panel.

I then stamped and punched the sentiment, using the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.

Next, I attached the sentiment using dimensionals.

Lastly, I stamped the heart doodle on the bottom of the card and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Whispy Dreams

Sometimes, I make a card simply to meet a challenge. This challenge called for me to use acrylic paint. I grabbed three of my favorite colors and created the background. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Blue Skies by Verve

Paper:

   Fresh Fig A-2

   Watercolor 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

   Fresh Fig

   Whisper White Craft

Acrylic Paint:

   Bright Yellow

   Bright Blue

   Purple

Technique:

   Acrylic Paint

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

I painted the watercolor panel with the acrylic paints: Bright Yellow, Bright Blue, Purple.

After it was completely dry (it doesn't take long at all), I stamped the butterfly and the sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I stamped some swirls in different directions to fill in the background. I used Fresh Fig, Whisper White Craft, Bright Yellow, and Bright Blue. To me, the swirls give the card movement and makes me think of wind. 

Next, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the butterfly and adhered the panel onto the Fresh Fig card front.

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

HAPPY STAMPING!

High Note

Note cards are fun and easier to fill. The smaller canvas somehow makes it all seem rather cute. One stamp can take up the entire front if you let it. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   High Tide

Paper:

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

   Night of Navy 4-7/8 x 3-3/8

Ink:

   Night of Navy

   Pacific Point

   Soft Suede

   So Saffron

Technique:

   Stamp-Off

Accessories:

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sand at the bottom of the Whisper White panel, using Soft Suede. I stamped-off to get a lighter shade of Soft Suede.

I then stamped the lighthouse, using Pacific Point. This is a two-step stamp, so I inked up the full lighthouse with Pacific Point, but I stamped-off on scratch paper first, and then stamped the white panel. I then took the detailed image of the light house and stamped it over the first image with a full strength of Pacific Point. You may want to play with this on a scratch paper before stamping your panel.

Next, I stamped the sentiment, using Night of Navy on the right side of the lighthouse.

I then added a beam of light with So Saffron ink.

Next, I stamped the birds, using Soft Suede and added gritty sand to the beach. I did NOT stamp-off for these.

I then adhered the panel onto a Night of Navy matte, and then onto the front of the Note Card.

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

Paper Trees

Anytime I create, using a special technique, I make more than what I intend to use. So, I actually used a leftover strip from another project that called for a shaving cream technique. I think it worked here. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Rooted in Natue

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   First Edition DSP 2-3/4 x 5-1/4

   Shaving Cream Leftover Strip 1-1/4 x 5-1/4

Ink:

   Call Me Clover

   Merry Merlot

Re-Inkers:

   Various Colors

Technique:

   Shaving Cream

Accessories:

   Shaving Cream

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the First Edition DSP to the bottom of a Basic White panel.

I then adhered the leftover shaving cream strip above it.

Next, I stamped the trees directly onto the panel, using Call Me Clover ink.

I then stamped the sentiment, using Merry Merlot.

Lastly, I adhered the panel onto a Very Vanilla card front and added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
