Add ink to your embossing folder and let your card front demand attention from all who feast their eyes upon it. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Love & Strength

Paper:

   Petunia Pop A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Thoughtful Journey DSP 2-3/4 x 5-3/16

   Peach Pie

Technique:

   Dry Embossing with Ink

Accessories:

   Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder

   Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots

   Adhesive

First, I applied Peach Pie ink to the top panel of the Plaster Painting 3D embossing folder. You can gently swipe the ink pad across the panel, or gently tap it. 

I then carefully placed a Basic White panel inside the folder and carefully closed it and embossed it without moving the panel. I set the panel aside to dry and quickly rinsed the embossing folder under running water. You can let it drip dry or gently dry it yourself.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the top of the Thoughtful Journey DSP panel, using Mossy Meadow ink.

I then adhered this panel onto the center of the embossed panel. 

Next, I adhered it onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Petunia Pop card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of Brushed Metallic Dots to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

 Although Stampin' Up! is known for its coordination of products and suite collections, remember that each item is sold individually. I chose to buy only the designer series paper from the Everyday Skies Suite Collection. I paired it with the Faith Collection stamp set. Thoughts?

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.
