Hello Cupcake

Hello Cupcake

My card is created from the Hello Cupcake stamp set (free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  I also used the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper.  The Vellum makes the greeting look blurry in the picture, but in real time it is not so.

My design and inspiration come from the Fusion Card Challenge. 

  1. The card base is Coastal Cabana card stock cut at 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″ and folded on the scoreline. It is stamped using Versa Mark and the Hello Cupcake Sweet Wishes stamp.  This makes a great background.  
  2. A length of Granny Apple Ribbon is wrapped around the card base and secured on the opposite side.
  3.  A  3-1/8″ x 3-1/4″ panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock is cut for the background of the focal panel.
  4. The focal panel is from the How Sweet It Is DSP and cut 3″ x 3-1/8″.  The mat and focal panel are adhered together using Liquid Glue, then popped onto the Coastal Cabana card base.
  5. A panel of vellum is cut 3″ x 3-1/8″ and adhered over the focal panel with Liquid Glue that is carefully put on each corner and then spread very thin so it would not show.  But before the vellum is adhered to the focal panel it is stamped with the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink.
  6. The two cupcakes are fussy cut from another panel of How Sweet It Is DSP and color is added by using Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, and Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write Markers.
  7. Sprinkles are added to the cupcake tops by using Adhesive Backed Sequins and Glitter Enamel Dots.
  8. The sentiment is stamped on a 3-3/4″ x 5″ panel of Whisper White card stock in Gorgeous Grape ink using the stamp set Hello Cupcake.  A large cupcake is also stamped in Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green ink.
  9. A Gorgeous Grape panel is cut 4″ x 5-1/2″ for the mat.
  10. The sentiment panel is adhered to the mat and then the mat is adhered to the card base.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card.  Have a blessed day!

Beauty Abounds with Botanical Butterfly

Beauty Abounds with Botanical Butterfly

It seems I am making great use of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper.  It is just so versatile and can be used for any card you chose to make.  Beauty Abounds is the stamp set the greeting and sentiment are from.  The Stitched Label Framelits makes a pretty addition to the card with the greeting stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.

My sketch and inspiration come from the TGIF Challenge 200.  Such a lovely sketch for the challenge.

I also decided to play at As You See It because this is a very simple card in spite of my detailed instructions.  I could have just said cut your paper the sizes I have listed and adhere them with Liquid Glue, cut you some butterflies out and stick them on.  I wanted to make it detailed to show how easy it really is.  It is all about wording.   When I think SIMPLE  I think of making it easy so the novice has a chance to make a beautiful card.   

This is a really simple and easy card but it will look complicated when I number the steps to creating.  Do not let that deter you from making it.  You will see the majority of the card is cutting.  If you can cut, you can make.  Follow the card recipe below:

  1. Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base using thick Whisper White card stock.   
  2. Score the card at 5-1/2″ and fold on the scoreline.
  3. Cut a 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ mat using Basic Black card stock.
  4. Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel using a sheet of the Botanical Butterfly DSP
  5. Adhere the Botanical Butterfly DSP to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue.
  6. Cut a 2-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ panel using the Basic Black card stock.
  7. Cut a 2″ x 5-1/4″ panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP using one of the sheets that have the above butterflies on it.
  8. Adhere the 2″ panel to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue.
  9. Adhere these two panels to the green Botanical Butterfly panel.  I realized when taking pictures I could have used only half a panel of this DSP.
  10. Fussy cut 2 small butterflies and 1 large butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP.
  11. Using thick Whisper White card stock cut a label using the large framelits from the Stitched Labels Framelits set.
  12. Stamp in Gorgeous Grape the greeting from the Beauty Abounds stamp set.
  13. Pop the Stitched Label over the focal panels of butterflies and greenery using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  14. Adhere the large butterfly to the left corner of the Stitched Label using a Glue Dot.
  15. Adhere the two small butterflies using Glue Dots, one to the lower right corner of the Stitched Label and the other on one of the stems of the green flowers at the top of the left panel.
  16. The inside sentiment from the Beauty Abounds stamp set is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been matted on a panel of Basic Black card stock using Liquid Glue.
  17. Fussy cut a large butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhered with Liquid Glue.
  18. Using Liquid Glue adhere the finished panel to the card base.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you found enjoyment in seeing my card and that you like it.  My wish is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.  Have a blessed day!

Happiness Blooms with Love What You Do

Happiness Blooms with Love What You Do

Seems I used a lot of stamp sets; Love What You Do, Incredible Like You, Well Said in creating this card plus the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP)

My design comes from Freshly Made Sketches.  At first, I thought what can I do with this sketch and then it just all seemed to come together and the card turned out to be rather pretty.

My card starts with a Whisper White Thick card base.

The card base is embossed using the Subtles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).

Flowers are fussy cut from a panel of the Happiness Blooms DSP.  They are adhered to the Subtles embossed card front using Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin Dimensionals.

A  2″ x 4-1/4″  panel of the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered across the bottom of the card base covering the tip ends of the flowers.

There are four cuts of the Happy from a panel of the DSP  like the panel  used at the bottom. A piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet is adhered to the back of the panel so when the cuts were made it would be easier to adhere them together.  By having four adhered together it gives a bit of dimension to the word.  The same was done for the word Birthday only it was cut from a panel of Calypso Coral card stock.

Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequin package is scattered on the card front.

The inside sentiment from the Incredible Like You Stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been trimmed with a section of the same DSP used on the card front.  Flowers are from the Love What You Do stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral and Call Me Clover ink.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you like my card.  Have a blessed day!
