Berry Delightful

 I so enjoy making a card when Stampin' Up! hands us designer paper that is already stamped and coordinates beautifully with their products. The Delightful Floral DSP is available only while supplies last. Obviously, when they are sold out, I will just stamp and die cut my own with the Translucent Floral Bundle. So, I bought them all. This way, my fun is never-ending. What do you prefer: designer paper, stamp set, die cuts or all? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Berry Burst A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Delightful Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Tinsel Gems Four-Pack

   Adhesive

First, I cut the DSP panel and adhered it to a Basic Black matte and then onto a Berry Burst card front.

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

Lastly, I added an embellishment from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

Here is another card, using Calypso Coral as a card base and another panel from the same 12 x 12 DSP sheet:

Berry Delightful Too

You can easily add a sentiment to the cards for a specific occasion. I chose to leave these alone to use as all occasion cards.

Serene

Here is one of those large stamps that you can color with any medium you wish. I decided to use my watercolor crayons this time, but I think I may try my watercolor pencils next. What medium would you choose? 

Stamps:

   Calm & Quiet

Paper:

   Pacific Point A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Watercolor 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Jet Black StazOn

Watercolor Crayons:

   Baja Breeze

   Basic Gray

   Chocolate Chip

   Crumb Cake

   Early Espresso

   Garden Green

   Pacific Point

   Soft Suede

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Watercolor

Accessories:

   Deckled Rectangles Dies

   Aqua Painter

   Paper Towel

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my image in the center of a watercolor panel, using Jet Black StazOn ink.

I then colored the image, using my watercolor crayons. Stampin' Up! has discontinued these, but any medium will work. I listed the colors I used above. Browns were used on the wood, greens were used on the greenery, and the blues were used on the water and sky.

I then went over the image with my Aqua Painter to spread the watercolor crayons on the image. I kept a paper towel handy to dab at areas that needed it.

Next, I used the second to the largest deckled rectangle die to center my image and to give the edges an interesting look.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black panel and then onto the Pacific Point card front. You will want to use whatever color matches one of your colors on your image for the card base.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card for a personal message. I left off a sentiment to keep the card as an all occasion card.

3-D Daisy

Daisies can brighten up anyone's day. Here is a daisy to say thank you to someone for their thoughtfulness. When was the last time you sent someone a card instead of a text? 

Stamps:

   Daisy Delight

Paper:

   Blushing Bride A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2), Scraps

Ink:

   Blushing Bride

   Crushed Curry

   Pear Pizzazz

   Pineapple Punch

   Pretty in Pink

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Daisy Punch

   Clear Faceted Gems

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment in Pear Pizzazz. I like to do this first, so that I do not mistakenly stamp over it or fail to leave enough room for it.

I then stamped daisies randomly in the background, using Pretty in Pink, Blushing Bride, and Pineapple Punch.

Next, I stamped the daisy twice on Basic White scraps, using Crushed Curry, and punched them with the Daisy Punch.

I adhered both of them together with a dimensional between them. Notice that I staggered them so the daisy was full.

Next, I added the daisy to the card front with a dimensional.

Lastly, I stamped a couple of stems with Pear Pizzazz, added a clear faceted gem, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is a technique to amuse your inner child. Unfortunately, mine did not want to play nicely, so I stamped a few bubbles in the end. Check it out. You might have better luck than I did. The tutorial is at: Soap Bubble Art. 

Stamps:

   Sea of Textures

   Bubble Over

   Sheltering Tree

Paper:

   Soft Suede A-2

First, I took the watercolor paper panel and tried to do the tutorial mentioned above, but my bubbles did not come up at all. So I watercolored the background, using Orchid Opulence, Pacific Point, and Pixie Pink. I let the panel dry and then stamped directly onto it.

I stamped the sand, using Baked Brown Sugar.

I then stamped the tall grasses with Tranquil Tide.

Next, I stamped the sentiment and the small plants, using Mossy Meadow.

I then stamped and die cut the Octopus, using Melon Mambo and Under the Sea Framelits.

I attached the octopus with a few dimensionals.

I then added the net, using More Mustard and added a few bubbles with a bit of Soft Sky.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the Soft Suede card front and adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.
