Circles & Stars

Sketch Challenges are fairly easy to meet. These challenges allow you to flip the sketch if you need and you can use any sentiment you like. So, basically, you just need to find a way to fill the shape and size of the sketch. Thoughts?

Silver Ornament

 Although there are many ways to adhere intricate die cuts onto your cards, I find that multipurpose adhesive sheets are the way to go. Simply apply your paper onto an adhesive sheet, die cut, peel off the backing, and apply to your project. Have you tried it? Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Beautiful Baubles

Paper:

   Smoky Slate A-2

   Night of Navy 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 5-1/4 x 2, 2-3/4 x 2-1/2 (Adhesive-Backed)

   Siver Glimmer 2-1/4" Circle, 3/4 x 5-1/8 (Adhesive-Backed)

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

Ink:

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder

   Detailed Baubles Thinlits

   Flourish Thinlits

   Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets

   2-1/4" Circle Punch

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed the Basic White strip, using the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. I adhered it to the top of the Basic White panel.

I then adhered the Night of Navy 2" panel to the Basic White panel right under the dry embossed piece.

Next, I die cut the adhesive-backed Night of Navy piece, using the Detailed Baubles Thinlit die. I peeled off the backing and adhered it to the Silver Glimmer Circle.

I then die cut the adhesive-backed silver glimmer strip, using the Flourish Thinlit die. I peeled off the backing and adhered it to the center of the Night of Navy strip on the Basic White panel.

Next, I added dimensionals to the back of the ornament and adhered it to the left side of the Night of Navy strip as shown above.

I then stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the Basic White panel.

Next, I matted the panel with a Night of Navy matte and then adhered it to the Smoky Slate card front.

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Red Palette

 LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Cupid is at the ready and Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Just in case you do not express it often enough, here is a card to say, "I JUST LOVE YOU." 

Stamps:

   Petal Palette

Paper:

   Powder Pink A-2, Scraps

   Cerise DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Very Vanilla Scrap

   Silver Glimmer 1 x 4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink & Markers:

   Archival Basic Black

   Real Red

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Petals & More Thinlits Dies

   Stitched Labels Framelits Dies

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I cut my designer series paper and adhered it to the card front using my favorite adhesive. All of the other items and images are die cuts.

Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment. To get the word love in red you have two options.

    1. You can ink up the sentiment with black. Take a blender pen and wipe off the black ink from the word love. Use a red marker to ink it. Activate the ink with your breath and stamp on a scrap of Very Vanilla. Center it on the die cut and run it through the die cut machine.

    2. Take a black marker and color in I, JUST, YOU. Take a red marker and color in LOVE. Activate the ink with your breath. Stamp and die cut it. It is adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

    FYI: I did option 2.

Then I stamped my roses and bird on scraps of Powder Pink. I then die cut them and adhered them using dimensionals.

I cut a 1 x 4 piece of silver glimmer paper and die cut it. It is adhered using the fine tip glue pen.

Lastly, I added rhinestones to the center of the roses, and I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card. You may choose to use a Very Vanilla panel for the inside to match the outside. This is a personal choice.
