In Stitches

I used a panel of fabric as my background. Thoughts?

   Stitched All Around

Paper:

   Cherry Cobbler A-2

Ink:

   Adhesive

First, I sprayed a Whisper White panel with adhesive.

I then added the fabric to the panel, turned it over, and cut off any of the excess.

I then adhered it to the Cherry Cobbler card front.

Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment.

I attached it to the center of the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few rhinestones and adhered the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Pearly Slider

Don't forget to use those discontinued items sitting on your shelves. If you are like me, your shelves, stacks, or boxes of discontinued or retired items is much LARGER than the current, available while supplies last, hot trendy items. So, although I am a current Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I like to use everything in my craft room, including the discontinued items. I think there are still some of you out there who have these same items and want some ideas on using them. What do you think of this one? 

Stamps:

   Rooted in Nature

Paper:

   Groovy Guava A-2

   Chocolate Chip 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Afternoon Tea DSP 5-1/4 x 4

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

Ink:

   Chocolate Chip

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Stitched Labels Framelits Dies

   1/4" Chocolate Chip Ribbon

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dot

   Fast Fuse

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my sentiment, using Chocolate Chip ink and the Stitched Labels Framelits Dies.

I then adhered the DSP panel onto a Chocolate Chip matte. 

Next, I threaded the Chocolate Chip ribbon through an Antique Brass slider, and wrapped the ribbon around the panel, making sure the slider landed in the center of the panel. I adhered the ribbon to the back of the panel, using Fast Fuse.

I then attached the panel to the Groovy Guava card front.

Next, I added the die cut sentiment to the top part of the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a pearl in the center of the slider with a glue dot and adhered a Whisper White panel to the inside of the card. If the slider is moving, you can add a glue dot underneath it to hold it in place.

Chocolate Slider

Sometimes we have to combine the new with the old. Or maybe we just need to use up some of the items in our stash. Otherwise, there is no room to add more new things! What do you think?

Stamps:

   Rooted in Nature

Paper:

   Groovy Guava A-2

   Chocolate Chip 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Afternoon Tea DSP 5-1/4 x 4

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

Ink:

   Chocolate Chip

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Stitched Labels Framelits Dies

   1/4" Chocolate Chip Ribbon

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Fast Fuse

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my sentiment on Whisper White. The sentiment is from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set, and the die cut is from the Stitched Labels Framelits Dies. These are my new items.

I then chose some discontinued designer series paper and cut a 5-1/4 x 4 inch panel. I matched up some ribbon, cardstock, and embellishments. 

Next, I slid the chocolate chip ribbon through the slider and attached it to the bottom of the designer series paper.

I adhered this panel to a Chocolate Chip panel and then onto a Groovy Guava card base.

I added the sentiment using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few pearls and adhered the Whisper 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.
