Peek a Boo Celebrations

This designer series paper is so perfect, all I had to do was stamp a sentiment on the bottom and attach it to a card. It truly is picture perfect. Thoughts?

   Something to Celebrate

Paper:

   Peek a Boo Peach A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/2 x 3-1/4

Ink:

First, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom of the DSP panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then adhered the DSP panel onto the Basic Black panel and then onto the Peek a Boo Peach card front.

Next, I adhered a bitty bow in the middle of the party hat and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card, using a different color bow.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Anniversary in Ivory

This is a Clean And Simple (CAS), yet elegant anniversary card. It takes less than five minutes to create. Of course, the sentiment can be changed to any current need you may have. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Something to Celebrate

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   CAS

Accessories:

   Ellison Embossing Folder by Sizzix

   Adhesive

First, I took a Very Vanilla panel and dry embossed it using an embossing folder by Sizzix.

I then stamped my sentiment in the designated space using Archival Basic Black.

Next, I adhered this panel onto the Very Vanilla card front and added the other panel to the inside of the card.

I kept this card CAS. Still, if you want to add some embellishments, you can easily add a ribbon, rhinestones, or possibly pearls. If you would like to add dimension, stamp your sentiment on a tag and attach it using dimensionals. The possibilities are endless. Have fun!

Bubbly Seahorses

 Did you know that hair gel can look like water? It even has air bubbles in it! I made this birthday card for my grandson and already gave it to him. He just loved playing with the gel on the card. Amazingly, it is not too difficult to make! 

Stamps:

   By the Tide

   Something to Celebrate

Paper:

   Marina Mist A-2, Scraps

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

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Early Espresso

   Marina Mist

   Pistachio Pudding

Technique:

   Hair Gel or Water Shaker

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

   Punching

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Seaside Embossing Folder

   Layering Circles Framelits Dies

   Washi Label Punch

   Small Ziplock Clear Plastic Bag 

   Tear & Tape Adhesive

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

These are all of the items I used to make my card, but you can substitute what you have on hand. You may also choose to delete some of the things I did on my card. Keep it simple.

First, I inked up my embossing folder and ran it through the big shot using my Seaside Embossing Folder. I then used my Layering Circles Framelits to cut out a circle in the top center of my panel.

I then penciled this circle onto a scrap of Whisper White, larger than the circle, but smaller than the embossed panel. 

Next, I stamped some Pistachio Pudding Seaweed onto the Whisper White panel, using the penciled circle as my window. I also stamped 3 Seahorse Silhouettes on top of the seaweed.

Using the same size circle and the next larger size circle, I die cut the frame that will go around this circle in Marina Mist. 

I added hair gel to the small ziplock clear plastic bag. I made sure the bag was not going to leak any gel onto my card. This was then secured over the stamped image, using strong adhesive. 

Next, I added strong adhesive to this smaller panel and secured it onto the back of my embossed panel, making sure the image and hair gel were centered on my circle.

I added the circle frame around the opening and positioned pearls around it. I attached the sentiment on the bottom using dimensionals.

This was all then added to the card base. The other Whisper White panel was for the inside of the card.

I took this idea from Dawn's video. You can see it HERE.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Cupcakes

 It seems like more people are celebrating with cupcakes instead of cakes nowadays. On the upside, there is less cleanup, and everyone gets the same amount. There is no more fighting for the corner piece or the one with the flower on top. So, everyone get the same, but is treated like an individual with their own serving.

Dad's Day

Stamps, ink and paper is all the beginner crafter needs to make a card. If you want to Step-It-Up, you can add a simple technique like sponging or flagging a sentiment. Then you can easily become an Avid crafter by adding more embellishments like ribbon or other elements. Check out this Father's Day Card:

Stamps:

   The Open Sea

   Something to Celebrate

Paper:

   Early Espresso A-2

   Whisper White 2-1/2" Circle, Scrap

   Adventure Bound DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Early Espresso

Technique:

   Sponging

Accessories:

   2-1/2" Circle Punch

   Sponge

   4-3/4" Ribbon

   Paper Snips

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

Always remember to stamp first and then punch out your image. This way your image is exactly where you want it. I did the same for the sentiment. I stamped, and then I snipped it down to size. 

Next, I sponged the edges of the circle and the sentiment using Early Espresso ink.

I propped up the image and sentiment using dimensionals.

Note the sentiment can be changed to whatever you need.
