Trimming Pears

The Mossy Meadow & Gold Trim is so beautiful on both sides, I decided to feature both. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Perfectly Pears

Paper:

   Darling Duckling A-2, 1-3/8" Scallop Circle

   Secret Sea 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Painterly Pears DSP 1 x 5-1/4, 3 x 5-1/4

   Basic White 1-1/4" Circle, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Secret Sea

Technique:

   CAS

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-1/4" Circle Punch

   1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch

   Mossy Meadow & Gold Trim 6" Strips (3)

   Low-Profile Sparkle Dots

   Tear & Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut a 4 x 5-1/4" panel of Painterly Pears DSP. I then cut 1" from the left side and flipped it. Since, the DSP is two-sided, both sides coordinate and complement each other. Note, I did include the size of both panels above, in case you are using two different DSP packs.

I then adhered both panels onto a Secret Sea matte.

Next, I cut three strips of the Mossy Meadow & Gold trim. I laid them onto the DSP panel and flipped the two outer strips. I added tear & tape on the trim to make it easy to attach. You can use glue dots or liquid adhesive as well. I did make sure the strips of trim butted up against each other to make it look like one piece.

I then adhered the panel onto a Darling Duckling card front.

Next, I stamped and punched the sentiment and adhered it onto a Darling Duckling Scallop Circle. I attached it onto the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few Low-Profile Sparkle Dots and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Perennial Hugs

I was so glad I remembered to use the Hodgepodge Hardware that was collecting dust on my shelf. This sentiment fits perfectly inside the circle frame. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Perennial Postage

   Fresh Freesia A-2

   Gorgeous Grape 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Perennial Lavender DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 1-1/2 x 4

   Punching

Accessories:

   Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware

   1-1/8" Scallop Circle Punch

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and punched the sentiment.

I then placed it into the hardware.

Next, I attached it to the center of the DSP strip, using the matching brads from the hardware box.

I then adhered this DSP strip to the center of the DSP panel.

Next, I adhered the panel to the Gorgeous Grape matte and then onto the Fresh Freesia card front.

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

HAPPY STAMPING!

Hello, Spring

This designer series paper (DSP) was perfect for an indoor wall. I used the ribbon as a wainscoting between the wallpapers. Having double-sided DSP allowed both panels to coordinate perfectly. The image was gifted to me by a fellow stamper. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Circle of Spring

   Unknown

Paper:

   Rose Red A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 2 x 4, 1-1/2" Circle

   Very Vanilla 1-3/4 x 3-3/4, 1-1/4" Scallop Circle, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Springtime Vintage DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Pink Pirouette

Copic Markers:

   Various (Personal Choice)

Technique:

   Sponging

   Punching

Accessories:

   16" Black Grosgrain Ribbon

   Flower Brad

   1-1/2" Circle Punch

   1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut my DSP panel at the 2" mark from the bottom. I flipped the bottom over and then adhered the two panels onto the Basic Black panel. 

Next, I tied a ribbon around it, hiding the seam. I made sure the bow would be on the right side. If you do not want a bow, just wrap the ribbon around the panel and secure it on the back.

I then adhered this panel onto the card front.

Next, I colored my image using various Copic markers that I had on hand. I used greens, since that was the color on my background.

I sponged this panel using Pink Pirouette. I then adhered it to a Basic Black matte.

I then stamped and sponged my sentiment. I adhered it to a circled Basic Black matte, added a pink flower brad from my stash, and attached it to the upper right-hand corner of my card front using dimensionals.

I attached the girl image to the left of the sentiment, using dimensionals, and adhered the other Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.

Celebrate Center 6x6#16

 You will need six pieces from the Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack to create this beauty. This is card 16 out of 30 using the Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Itty Bitty Greetings

Paper:

   Peekaboo Peach A-2

   Playful Palette DSP 4 x 2 (2), 1-1/2" Sq. (4)

   Basic Black 1-3/8" Scallop Circle

   Very Vanilla 1-1/8" Scallop Circle

This card used Layouts #6 & #7:

Layout #6

Layout #7

First, I adhered the two 4 x 2 rectangles from Layout #7 onto my card base. I adhered one on the top and one on the bottom.

Next, I took the four 1-1/2" squares from Layout #6 and arranged them in the center of my card. I flipped two of the squares to the reverse side, since the DSP is double-sided.

I then stamped my sentiment and punched it out using the 1-1/8" scallop circle punch. I matted it with a Basic Black 1-3/8" scallop circle. The Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

You can see a video showing all 30 cards at Merla's No Left-Over DSP Layouts.
