Dragonflies

I have only spotted a dragonfly once or twice in my backyard. They don't seem to be too common around here. Of course, there is the possibility that I stay indoors so much that the dragonflies go unnoticed. Anyway, here are a few I captured on paper. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Dragonfly Garden

Paper:

   Mossy Meadow A-2

   Bumblebee 2-3/4 x 3-3/4

   Basic White 2-1/2 x 3-1/2, 5 1/4 x 4 (Inside), 2-3/4" Sq. 

   Dandy Garden DSP 3/4 x 3-3/4 (3), 2-3/4" Sq. 

Ink:

   Blackberry Bliss

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Dragonflies Punch

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I took the DSP and Basic White squares and punched a dragonfly from each. The DSP dragonfly is adhered to the top center of the Basic White one.

I then took the three strips of DSP and adhered them onto the card front. 

Next, I stamped a dragonfly and sentiment on the Basic White panel and adhered it onto the Bumblebee matte. 

This panel was then adhered to the center of the card front on top of the three strips of DSP.

I then adhered the large and small dragonflies onto the card front using glue dots.

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

Note, I also punched several small dragonflies from the left-over Basic White square and set them aside for future use. These can be colored or left white as embellishments on future cards.

HAPPY STAMPING!

Perfection

Sometimes we just have to find humor in our lives. Laugh Out Loud or at least SMILE! Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Approaching Perfection

Paper:

   Mossy Meadow A-2

   Bumblebee 3 x 4

   Fine Art Floral DSP 1-1/2 x 4

   Golden Garden Designer Acetate 1-1/2 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Fern 3D Embossing Folder

   Water Mister

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I misted the Mossy Meadow card front with a bit of water and dry embossed it using the Fern 3D embossing folder. The moisture helps to keep the paper from tearing during the embossing.

I then stamped the sentiment on the top part of the Bumblebee panel. I used Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then adhered this piece to the center of the card front using liquid adhesive. 

Next, I adhered the acetate piece onto the matching DSP, using glue dots. I applied the glue dots in places that would not be easily visible, like under the gold.

I attached these two pieces onto the card front below the sentiment.

Lastly, I added some rhinestones and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Golden Leaves

I like the stunning look of the Calypso Coral against the Blackberry Bliss. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Biggest Wish (None)

Paper:

   Blackberry Bliss A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Calypso Coral 1-1/4 x 7-1/4, Scrap (Heart)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Amazing Thanks Dies

   Naturally Eclectic Card Overlays

   Itty Bitty Accents Punch

   Calypso Coral 1/4" Shimmery Ribbon

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Stampin' Seal+ 

   Adhesive

First, I cut the Naturally Eclectic Card Overlay in half and attached the upper half to the Blackberry Bliss Card front. I used glue dots behind the golden leaves to attach it.

Next, I die cut the words, using the Amazing Thanks dies on a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock.

I then punched out a heart from the extra left-over piece between the words.

I used glue dots to adhere these pieces onto the card front. 

I added a strip of Calypso Coral Shimmery ribbon and adhered it using Stampin' Seal+. I added it to cover up the seam between the overlay and cardstock.

Lastly, I added a rhinestone to the heart and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I mentioned the Biggest Wish stamp set because it coordinates with these die cuts, but there was no stamping required on this card. I merely die cut, punched, and adhered the pieces together. This is a very quick and easy card to create.
