Shady Impressions

If you change the color of your ink and card base to match the colors in the Designer Series Paper, you will have a different card. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Simply Said
   Healing Hugs

Paper:
   Melon Mambo A-2
   Garden Impressions DSP 5-1/2 x 3-3/4
   Basic White 2-1/2" Circle, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Petal Pink 1-3/4 x 1/2

Technique:
   CAS
   Punching

Accessories:

   Gold Buttons
   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped a rose in the center of a Basic White 2-3/4" scrap, using Melon Mambo ink.

I then punched it, using a 2-1/2" Circle Punch.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of Petal Pink, using Shaded Spruce ink. I snipped the ends to size.

I then adhered the Garden Impressions DSP panel onto the Melon Mambo card front, scooting it to align with the left edge and the top and bottom of the card.

Next, I adhered the stamped Rose on the top portion of the card front and adhered the sentiment below it, as shown above.

I then attached a couple of gold buttons to the lower right side of the card along the seam of the DSP and the card front, using glue dots.

Lastly, I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Kinda Simple

You can easily change the sentiment on this card to suit your needs. If you need a masculine card, just leave off the sequins. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Simply Said
   Kinda Eclectic

Paper:
   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1/2 x 2 
   Pretty Peacock 1/2 x 2, 1/4 x 5-1/4
   Cajun Craze 1/4 x 5-1/4
   Dusty Durango 1/4 x 5-1/4, 1" Circle 
   Barely Banana 1/4 x 5-1/4

Ink:
   Pretty Peacock

Markers:
   Pretty Peacock

Technique:
   CAS
   Punching

Accessories:
   1" Circle Punch
   Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I adhered the (1/4 x 5-1/4) strips of colored card stock to the card front as shown above. 

I then stamped the sentiment, using Pretty Peacock, on the strip of Basic White. 

Next, I added ink to the sunburst stamp from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set, using the Pretty Peacock marker. This way, I only added ink to each ray as I wanted. I varied the length of each one.

I then breathed on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamped it on the top portion of the card front. I stamped half onto the strips of card stock and half onto the Basic White card front.

Next, I punched a 1" circle from a scrap of Dusty Durango and adhered it onto the center of the sunburst, using dimensionals.

I then punched the ends of the sentiment and the Pretty Peacock strip, using the Circle Punch, giving the strips rounded edges.

Next, I adhered the Basic White sentiment on top and slightly upward of the Pretty Peacock strip. I attached these to the lower part of the card front, using dimensionals.

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

Favored Petals

Next, I adhered the panel onto the Petal Pink card front.

I then stamped the sentiment on a strip of Basic White, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I used the Washi Label Punch on one end of the strip to add a bit of interest.

Simple Birthday

This is a nice layout to use some of your smaller leftover designer series paper pieces. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Simply Said

Paper:
   Petunia Pop A-2
   Basic Black 3-5/8 x 3-3/4
   2024-2026 In-Color Glimmer Specialty Paper 1-3/4 x 3-1/4
   2024-2026 In-Color DSP 1-5/8 x 2-3/4
   Paper Pumpkin Tag (2x1 rounded edges)
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Shy Shamrock

Technique:
   CAS
   Punching

Accessories:
   1/8" Handheld Hole Punch
   White Baker's Twine
   Modern Oval Punch
   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Basic Black piece to the lower part of the Petunia Pop card front.

I then adhered the glimmer paper at an angle, as shown above.

Next, I added the striped In-Color DSP to the card front, as shown above.

I then took a leftover Paper Pumpkin tag and stamped the sentiment, using Shy Shamrock ink.

I rounded the edges, using the Modern Oval Punch. You have to feed the tag through the bottom of the punch to round each side separately.

Next, I adhered it onto the card front. You can add dimensionals if you wish. I decided to keep it directly onto the other pieces. 

I then punched a small hole on the top of the card front, using the 1/8" Handheld Hole Punch. You want to make sure you are punching through only the top panel.

Next, I fed a leftover piece of Baker's Twine from a Paper Pumpkin kit and tied it off with a bow. 

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

Cheerful Thanks

Do you like daisies? There is usually an abundance of daisies in various types, colors, and sizes. I think they are known as a friendly flower or a friendship flower. I'm not sure. Thoughts? 






Stamps:
   Cheerful Daisies
   Simply Said 2024

Paper:
   Crushed Curry A-2
   Early Espresso 4-5/8 x 3-5/8, 1-7/8" Sq. (2)
   Fresh as a Daisy DSP 4-1/2 x 3-1/2
   Basic White 1-3/4" Sq. (2), 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Copper Clay
   Crushed Curry

Technique:
   2-Step Stamping

Accessories:
   Gold Faceted Gems
   Adhesive

First, I stamped the two Basic White squares. I stamped a small daisy on one, using Copper Clay as an outline and Crushed Curry as the filler. The other was used for the sentiment: thanks. I used the Simply Said stamp set and the same two inks.

I then adhered the Basic White squares to the two Early Espresso mattes.

Next, I adhered the Fresh as a Daisy DSP panel onto an Early Espresso matte and then onto the Crushed Curry card front.

I then adhered the two squares on the top portion of the DSP panel.

Lastly, I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center of the daisy and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
