HAPPY STAMPING!

Glittered Organdy Thanks

I like the large bold print on this sentiment. I decided to add a glittered ribbon and a rhinestone for a bit more glimmer, but it is not necessary with such beautiful DSP. The colorful flowers do make a gorgeous background. Thoughts? 

Glittered Organdy Thanks

Stamps:

   Ornate Thanks

Paper:

   Mint Macaron/Bumblebee A-2

   Early Espresso 1-1/4 x 4, 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Mint Macaron/Bumblebee 1 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Ornate Garden DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Early Espresso

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Glittered Organdy Ribbon 20"

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I took the strip of Mint Macaron and stamped the sentiment, using Early Espresso.

I then adhered it onto an Early Espresso matte.

Next, I adhered the matted sentiment onto the top portion of an Ornate Garden DSP panel.

I then matted the panel with Early Espresso.

Next, I tied the Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the panel and into a bow in front.

I then adhered this to the Mint Macaron card front.

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

I made another card using Bumblebee in place of the Mint Macaron:

Glittered Organdy Thanks Too

Poppy Petals

This is a great layout to use up those small squares of DSP. Rounding two opposite corners turned these squares into petals. Once they were placed with a point toward the center, they resembled a flower. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Peaceful Moments

Paper:

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

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-5/8" Sq. (4)

   Peaceful Poppies DSP 3" Sq. cut at 1-1/2" to get 4 squares 

Ink:

   Poppy Parade

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Project Life Corner Rounder Punch

   Peaceful Poppies Sequins

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I gathered all of my paper, and cut it into squares with two opposite sides rounded off, using a corner rounder punch. 

*Note if you are cutting floral paper or any DSP that has a right-side up, make sure you are cutting the correct corner.

I then assembled the petals onto the Basic Black matte without adhering any of them. 

Next, I stamped and rounded off two opposite corners on the Basic White sentiment. I laid it in place as well.

Once everything looked fine, I adhered each petal: Basic White on the bottom, followed by a Basic Black, and the DSP on the top. 

I then adhered the petals and the sentiment on the Basic Black matte, and then onto the Basic White card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of sequins, using glue dots, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I then stamped my sentiment onto a scrap of Blushing Bride, using Fresh Fig ink. I then used the Double Oval Punch on it.
