Wishing You all the Best

July 18, 2018 admin Comments 20 comments

Love the way this card turned out. It is so cool and clean looking, I suppose from the Whisper White card base and the Highland Heather colored flowers makes for a cool looking card.

I decided to play along with The Sisterhood of Crafters.

I started with a Whisper White card base. I then took a panel of Whisper White cardstock and embossed it using the Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder. Using one of the dies from the Blended Seasons Stamp Set Bundle, I cut the panel from the embossed panel. I had in the meantime, cut a plain panel from a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I cut leaves using Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White cardstock, again I used one of the dies from the Blended Seasons Stamp Bundle. A stamp bundle includes not only the stamps but the dies for cutting out the stamped image. With this bundle you also got the new watercolor pencils.

I stamped the flower images on Whisper White cardstock, colored with the Highland Heather Stampin Write Markers and used an Aqua Pen to add water to make the flowers the colored I was wanting. I then fussy cut all the flowers out. I also stamped and colored flowers for the inside sentiment panel but did not include a sentiment at-this-time.

I wrapped a length of Mini Striped Ribbon around the Pinewood Plank Embossed Panel, adhering it on the back with tape.

Hope you enjoyed seeing my card today. Visit again!

Touches of Texture

July 16, 2018 admin Comments 5 comments

I have a card to show you today using the stamp set Touches of Texture. I liked this stamp set when I saw it in last year’s catalog, but kept putting off buying it. I finally got it when it appeared in this year’s catalog.

I decided to play along with two challenges. The Paper Players and Inkspire_me Challenge

Love the colors and the layout of these challenges. They go together so well.

I started with a card base of Highland Heather. 4-1/4 x 11 scored at 5-1/2. Using Versa Mark Ink, I stamped the front of the card base.

Whisper White mat cut 2-1/2 x 5-1/4. Stamped using one of the background stamps from the Touch of Textures Stamp Set and Highland Heather Stampin Write Marker. After stamping wrapped a length of Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon around the edge, leaving half of it off the edge. Adhered to the Highland Heather card base.

Cut the 2 ½ and the 3 ½ squares for the art piece using the Layering Square Framelits Dies. I stamped the flowers from the Touches of Textures Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink. I colored the flowers using Lovely Lipstick, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather Stampin Write Markers. I popped both squares on the matted front with Stampin Dimensionals.

I used one of the background stamps to also make a border around the inside sentiment panel. The sentiment is from the Postcard Pals Stamp Set.

That’s all for today. Hope you enjoy my card.

Shining Star

July 15, 2018 admin Comments 2 comments

A cute little card today made using the Little Twinkle Stamp Set.

I decided to play along with the Global Design Project

I started with a card base using Night of Navy Cardstock. I adhered a panel from the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP cut 5-1/4 x 4. I then cut another panel from the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 and popped it on top of the first DSP mat. Before I popped the 3 -3/4 x 3-3/4 mat, I added three squares cut 1-1/2 x 1-1/2. These were popped onto the 3-3/4 mat. I decorated each square using designs cut from a piece of the Twinkle, Twinkle DSP. These designed were adhered to the 1-1/2 squares. I used a few of the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins on each square.

I wrapped a length of the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the card and adhered it on the back with tape. I then wrapped a length of the Petal Pink Metallic Ribbon over the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. I made a small bow and attached it with a glue dot.

The inside sentiment is also from the Little Twinkle Stamp Set. I stamped a sentiment on each panel of the card.

That’s it for today. Hope you enjoy! Visit again.

Red Tide At Sunset

July 11, 2018 admin Comments 10 comments

This is a cute little card, I think. I like the way this little watercolor piece turned out. I started out watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper with Merry Merlot, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. I had no idea out it would turn out. The first piece was not quite what I was wanting, so I tried again. This time I cut a smaller piece and watercolored it. After watercoloring about 3/4^th of the piece, I thought “Oh that looks like a sunset at the beach with the Red Tide coming into shore.

I used the 2 inch layering square framelits to cut the piece from the Iarger piece I had watercolored. I used a black Stampin Write Marker to draw the two birds.

I cut a panel 4 x 5-1/4 from Whisper White cardstock and embossed using the Seaside TIEF. I popped this on the Whisper White card base using Stampin Dimensionals. I then popped the watercolored pieced onto the embossed panel. The thanks greeting on the from is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it using Merry Merlot Stampin Pad on a scrap of the piece I had watercolored. I drew around the stamp that the word Thanks was on and fussy cut it. I popped it below the watercolor square.

The inside sentiment is also from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. I probably should have watercolored then stamped, so since I didn’t I used my heat tool to dry the sentiment I had stamped in Black Memento Ink. I sponged the colors around the sentiment and then used an Aqua Painter to spread the ink around very carefully, so I would not mess up the sentiment. I discovered that was a great way to watercolor, sponge the color on dry and then use water.

These are the Challenges I am playing with today: Inkspire_me CHALLENGE #358 and CAS ON FRIDAY

That’s it for today. Visit again, there will be more another day.
