Birthday Memories

This designer paper works for any age group and gender. This is also an easy layout for a clean and simple card. If you don't have ribbon, you can easily add a strip of designer series paper or completely eliminate it. The tag can be attached directly to the card front. What do you think?

First, I adhered the ribbon to the bottom third of the DSP. I used glue dots to hold it in place and a strong adhesive on the back.

I then attached the DSP to a Pacific Point matte, and then onto the Tangerine Tango card front.

Next, I stamped and die cut the tag, using Pacific Point ink and the Rose Garden Thinlits.

I then attached the tag with a few dimensionals.

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

Spooky Spiders

Do you remember wheels? I still have several on my shelf. This one is entitled "Spooky Spiders." I am not sure if the spiders were meant to spook someone, or if they were spooked. They look very frightened. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Spooky Spiders Wheel

Paper:

   Pumpkin Pie A-2

   Motley Monsters DSP 5/8 x 5-1/2

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

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Pumpkin Pie

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Rose Garden Thinlits Dies

   Wheel Guide

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my background of spiders. I used a wheel guide to keep the spiders straight. 

Next, I added a strip of DSP for interest and to break up the orange. The strip was left over from another project and included the right colors to blend in with my card base. This is a great way to use up the strips that are always left over from a 12 x 12 sheet.

I then stamped, die cut, and sponged my sentiment. I attached it, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card. I did not have any other embellishments, but if you have any Halloween trinkets, this would be the place to add them.

Foiled Flowers

 Can you believe that you can create an amazing background using foil paper right out of your pantry? I could not believe it until I actually did it. What do you think of this embossed foil background? 

Stamps:

   Rose Wonder

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Real Red 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Red Foil 2" Sq. (3)

   Foil 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Spring Flowers Embossing Folder

   Rose Garden Thinlits Dies

   Simple Flower Embossilits

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I covered a Whisper White panel in foil paper. You do not need to glue it down and the back of it does not need to be pretty. Do not pull the foil too tightly, so it does not tear during the embossing. 

I then placed this panel into my Spring Flowers Embossing Folder and ran it through my embossing machine.

I then adhered this panel onto the Real Red panel and then onto the Basic Black card front.

Next, I ran each of the red foil squares through the embossing machine using the Simple Flower Embossilits. You do have to do these individually, since the embossilit die cuts and embosses the image.

I stamped and die cut my sentiment, using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the Rose Garden Thinlits Die. This was adhered using my liquid adhesive, but you can prop it up using dimensionals. 

Lastly, I added some basic pearl jewels and adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Sunburst Sympathy

First, I stamped my sun's rays using a stamp from Kinda Eclectic and Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped on a scrap of Whisper White and then die cut it using the Sunburst Framelits Dies.

Next, I used a stamp from Just Believe to create the center of the sun. I used Blushing Bride ink and punched it out with the 1-1/4" circle punch. This was adhered to the sun's rays using dimensionals.

I then stamped my sentiment with Mossy Meadow and a stamp from Rose Wonder. I then die cut it using the Rose Garden thinlits dies.  This was also adhered using dimensionals. 

I then adhered the DSP panel to the Mossy Meadow card front. The sun's rays and the sentiment are attached with dimensionals. I adhered the 5-1/4 x 4" Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Leaves on the Wall

Over the years people have collected and pressed leaves. Others have created art while others just enjoy playing in a big pile of leaves. Either way, images of leaves can be used to express just about anything. Check out this one.

Leaves on the Wall

Stamps:

   Vintage Leaves

   Rose Wonder

Paper:

   Crumb Cake A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

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

Ink:

   Crumb Cake

   Pumpkin Pie

   Sweet Sugarplum

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Rose Garden Thinlits Dies

   Leaflets Framelits Dies

   Brick Wall Embossing Folder

   Linen Thread 

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

Did you know that you can take a leaf from a fruit tree and know the fruit it will bear? All you have to do is tear the leaf in half and smell it. The leaf will smell the same as the fruit it will bear. Here is another card with another purpose, but using the same materials. Notice the subtleties that make each card unique.

Leaves on the Wall Too

So, my first step was to ink up my Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder with my Sweet Sugarplum Classic Ink Pad. I applied ink to the smooth side of the embossing folder. I then carefully placed my Whisper White panel inside the folder, making sure it did not shift or move. I then ran it through my embossing machine. Make sure you clean your folder when you are done.

Next, I stamped and die cut my leaves. I used Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie ink. Using the Vintage Leaves stamp set, I stamped two large leaves and two small ones. I then die cut them using the Leaflits Framelits Dies.

I added linen thread to my large leaf. I used a glue dot to hold the linen thread in place on the back of the leaf. I then just wrapped it around the leaf pulling it around each indentation on the middle section. I added another glue dot to hold the thread on the back. I used about 36" of thread.

I then arranged these leaves and attached them to the brick wall using dimensionals. I tied a bow with linen thread and adhered it with a glue dot where the stems crossed. 

I then stamped my frames and sentiments with my Archival Basic Black Ink Pad. I die cut these using the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies. These were also attached using dimensionals.

I then adhered these panels onto the Basic Black cardstock and then onto the card fronts. I like to add a 5-1/4 x 4" Whisper White panel to the inside of the card as well. So, you actually need 4 panels, instead of 2. 

Lastly, add a few pearls to the sentiment on each card.

Praying Rose

 I like the bold colors for this sympathy card. Using watercolors gives you the option to subdue the color if you wish. You can add more water and dilute the color, or leave it full strength with little water. I always keep a paper towel handy just in case I begin to go overboard. 

Stamps:

   Rose Wonder

Paper:

   Melon Mambo A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/8 x 3-7/8 (2)

   Brights DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Watercolor 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Melon Mambo

   Old Olive

   Daffodil Delight

   Jet Black StazOn

Technique:

   Watercolor

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Rose Garden Thinlits Dies

   Aqua Painters

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

It is best to use a Stamparatus, MISTI, or Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp your sentiment. This way you can stamp several times and get a better impression than I did.

I also die cut the black outline of the rose and leaves and placed it over the image.

Goblin Greetings

Whenever you are in a hurry, let the paper do all of the work for you!

Stamps:

   Sweet Home

   Grateful Greetings

Paper:

   Tangerine Tango A-2

   Motley Monsters DSP 5 1/4 x 4

   Whisper White Scraps

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Tangerine Tango

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Rose Garden Thinlits Dies, Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies, Sponge, Dimensionals, Adhesive

I used a few scraps of Whisper White cardstock to stamp and die cut two ghosts and one sentiment. I adhered these with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped using the Grateful Greetings stamp set. It was then die cut using the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies and sponged with Tangerine Tango.

The tree background is the designer series paper. It does all of the work. I think it is a great scene. What do you think?
