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.

Stylish Rounds

This layout can be used for a masculine card as well. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Round We Go

Paper:

   Summer Splash A-2, 2" Sq. (2)

   Melon Mambo 2" Sq. (3), 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

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

Ink:

   Summer Splash

   VersaMark

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Heat Embossing

Accessories:

   White Baker's Twine (24")

   White Embossing Powder

   Round We Go Dies

   Stylish Shapes Framelits

   Brights Enamel Shapes

   2024-2026 In-Color Shimmer Gems

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the dotted circles on the 3-3/4 x 5 Basic White panel, using the Round We Go Dies. I did intertwine two of the circles.

I then stamped the sparkles around the Basic White panel, using Summer Splash ink.

Next, I adhered this panel onto its Melon Mambo matte. The circles then appear to be Melon Mambo dots.

I then wrapped the White Baker's Twine around the bottom of the panel and tied it off with a bow. I placed the bow to the left of the panel, and then adhered the panel onto the Summer Splash card front.

Next, I die cut the rest of the pieces, using both sets of dies. The stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes Dies, and the others use the Round We Go Dies.

Using VersaMark and White Embossing Powder, I heat embossed the sentiment on the Stitched Circle. This is the only circle that was adhered with dimensionals. I then adhered the other circles, as shown above.

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

Be Mine, Love

I like the movement of the banner on this card. It looks like it is glued down to the card front, but if you stand it up, the banner can swing back and forth. You can easily use this as a traditional Valentine's Day card, or simply to express your love toward that special someone. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   You Plus Me

   Banner Blast

   Post Card

Paper:

   Real Red A-2, Scraps

   Very Vanilla 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scraps

   Red Glimmer Scraps

Ink:

   Early Espresso

   Real Red

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine 12"

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Hearts Border Punch

   Banner Punch

   Sticky Strip

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the Post Card image onto a Very Vanilla panel, using Early Espresso ink.

I then stamped and punched three banners out of Very Vanilla scraps, using Early Espresso ink and the Banner punch. 

Next, I stamped a Real Red heart in the center of each of these three banners.

I then stamped and punched two love banners, using Real Red ink and the Banner punch. I added a rhinestone to the letter O on each one.

Next, I adhered the Post Card Very Vanilla panel onto the Real Red card front.

I then made two tiny bows out of Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine.

Next, I placed the baker's twine across the front of the card as shown above. I placed the banners on the card and on top of the twine to see how it would look. This is the step to make adjustments or changes to the "look of the card." 

Once, I was happy, I added a glue dot to the two ends of the twine and adhered it to the two corners of the post card.

I then added a very thin piece of sticky strip to the back of each banner - just enough to hold it in place and on the twine. I attached each banner in place on the twine. 

Using a glue dot, I then adhered a bow to each of the ends on the twine.

Next, I stamped a sentiment to the left side of the post card, using Real Red ink.

Lastly, I punched and attached three red glimmer hearts to the bottom of the post card and adhered a Very Vanilla panel to the inside of the card.

Hello Little Girl

Sometimes you just want a card that says, "Hello." Here is a Clean And Simple hello card to brighten someone's day. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Thoughtful Banners

Paper:

   Lavender Lace A-2

   Irresistibly Yours DSP 5-1/4 x 4

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

   Basic White 4-1/4 x 1-7/8, 3/4" Circle, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside) 

Ink:

   Summer Sun

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Copic Markers:

   Personal Choice

Technique:

   Watercolor (Emboss-Resist)

   Punching

   Coloring

Accessories:

   1" Circle Punch

   3/4" Circle Punch

   Blackberry Bliss Thick Twine

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I must say, the image was a gift, so I cannot duplicate this card. I colored the image using various Copic Markers. Sorry, I did not write down the numbers. Oops.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Gray matte and set it aside.

Next, I watercolored a panel of Irresistibly Yours DSP, using Summer Sun Ink. I let it dry for a couple of minutes and went over it with a paper towel to bring out the embossed flowers. This is a pack of specialty paper that is already embossed, but if you need to create it, you can do an emboss-resist technique.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Gray matte and then onto the Lavender Lace card front.

Next, I stamped and punched the sentiment, using a 3/4" circle punch and Tuxedo Black Memento ink. 

I then added this to a Basic Gray circle matte.

Next, I adhered the image and sentiment to the card front.

I then tied a bit of Blackberry Bliss Thick Twine into a bow and attached it with a glue dot.

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

Sketchy Thank You

Here is a clean and simple triptych card. The background, cut into three panels, is a coloring book page. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Lemon Lime Twist A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Coloring Book Page 5 x 3-3/4 cut @ 1" on both sides

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

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Florescent - Personal Choice

Technique:

   Triptych

Accessories:

   Small Oval Punch

   Large Oval Punch

   1/8" Handheld Punch

   Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine

   Tacky Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I colored a page in my coloring book and then cut it to the measurements listed above.

I then adhered the three panels onto a Basic Black matte.

Next, I stamped a sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and a scrap of Basic White. 

I punched it out with a Small Oval Punch and adhered it to a Basic Black Oval. I used the Large Oval Punch and a scrap of Basic Black for the matte. I added a few dimensionals to the oval.

Next, I used a handheld punch to poke a hole on each side of the Basic Black oval, and I threaded some Black Baker's Twine through it and secured the twine on the back of the panel with a bit of tacky tape. I made sure the sentiment was centered on the front of the card.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto the Lemon Lime Twist card front. 

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

HAPPY STAMPING!

Hippest Waterfall

Watch a person's face light up as they pull on the twine to reveal how these happy hippos dance in celebration. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Hippest Hippos

Paper:

   Sahara Sand 5-1/4 x 8 score @ 4", 1-7/8" Sq. (4)

   Berry Burst 5-1/2 x 4-1/4, 3/4 x 4

   Purple 9 x 2 scored @ 2", 2-3/4", 3-1/2", 4-1/4"

   Daffodil Delight 2" Sq.

   Only Orange 2" Sq.

   Bermuda Bay 2" Sq.

   Melon Mambo 2" Sq.

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Personal Choice

Technique:

   Waterfall

Accessories:

   Eyelets (3)

   Baker's Twine

   Adhesive

I followed the steps at SCS Tutorials for the Waterfall Card. They do an excellent explanation with pictures for you to follow along.

First, I randomly stamped all the hippos on the Sahara Sand card front, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then stamped a different hippo on each of the 1-7/8" Sahara Sand squares and colored them, using various markers.

Next, I adhered the Sahara Sand squares to a colored 2" square and laid them out on my table in the order I wanted them to appear on the card.

I scored the long purple piece and adhered the squares onto it, keeping them in order. Note that only the top of the square is attached to the strip.

Next, I placed this strip on the card front to see where I should attach the Berry Burst strip. I did not adhere the hippos yet. You want to make sure the strip is somewhat in the center of the card. I removed the strip and attached the Berry Burst strip to the card front only, using two eyelets.

I then adhered the strip permanently onto the Berry Burst strip as shown in the instructions from the link above.

Lastly, I added an eyelet at the bottom of the strip and threaded some twine for pulling the waterfall card down. I left the inside blank for a handwritten message to be added when it is given.

Here are the pictures of the rest of the squares:
