Tea Together

Tea Together

I love the looks of this card.  It is created using the Tea Together stamp set and the greeting is from the Rooted In Nature stamp set.  An easy card, I think, for a beginner, but advanced enough that the most seasoned card maker will like.

My sketch design and inspiration comes from the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge 189  for the week.

Cut your Basic Black card base, along with the Whisper White mat for the front and for the inside sentiment.  Then cut the black/white panel that is from the Botanical Butterfly DSP.  This DSP is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration, which ends on March 31.  I find it easier if you do all your cutting at once instead of just cutting a piece as you need it.

Adhere the Whisper White panel which has been embossed using the Subtle Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF)  to the card base after you have popped the black/white panel from the Botanical Butterfly on it.

Stamp 4 roses from the Tea Together stamp set on thick Whisper White card stock using Versa Mark Ink.   One of the roses is for the inside sentiment panel. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder over the Versa Mark Ink and using your heat tool, heat emboss.  I like heat embossing when coloring because it prevents the colors from running.  Cut the roses out using the Tea Time Framelits Dies (the easy way), I fussy cut because I picked up the wrong stamp set with roses and dies and thought oh, there is not a die for this rose, after fussy cutting, I realized my mistake.

Color the roses using Garden Green and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers. The roses are popped across the bottom of the black/white checked panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the greeting in Real Red ink on a scrap of paper.  I traced the shape of the stamp for the greeting and fussy cut it also.  The greeting was popped in the center of the black/white checked panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink stamp the sentiment from the stamp set Strong and Beautiful on a panel of Whisper White card stock.  Pop the rose in the lower right corner using a Mini Stampin Dimensional.  Adhere the sentiment panel to the card base using Liquid Glue.  The card is finished.

That is it for today!  Hope you like the card!!  Have a blessed day.

A Little Hello with Lovely Lattice

A Little Hello with Lovely Lattice

My card today is created using a Sale-A-Bration stamp set called Lovely Lattice.  It is a beautiful stamp and can be yours for free with a $50 purchase.

My sketch design comes from the Tuesday Morning Sketches

Start with a card base Whisper White card stock.

  • The next card stock cut is a panel of Basic Black for the mat of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP)
  • Cut a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP and adhere to the Basic Black mat.
  • Adhere the Basic Black mat to the Whisper White card base.
  • Cut a panel of Basic Black, Whisper White, and Blueberry Bushel card stock.
  • Adhere the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black panel using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.
  • Wrap a strip of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape down the left side of the Blueberry Bushel panel, then adhere the panel to the Whisper White panel.
  • Before you adhere the Blueberry Bushel panel to the Whisper White panel emboss it using the Subtle TIEF.
  • Once all three of the panels have been adhered together pop it over the Botanical Butterfly panel using Mini Stampin Dimensionals.  Cut the Stamipn’ Dimensionals in half so that it only needs a little dimension off of the other panel.
  • Using the Lovely Lattice stamp set, stamp the image on a panel of Basic Black card stock using Versa Mark ink.
  • Embossing the image using White Embossing Powder and your heat tool.  Embossing the white on black gives for a beautiful image without color, but I chose to color the flowers.
  • Color the flowers using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Balmy Blue, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, and Lovely Lipstick.  Coloring on the black sure gives each color a different color.
  • Pop the flowers on the Blueberry Bushel panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The flowers appear to be stamped on the Blueberry Bushel panel instead of being stamped on Basic Black and then colored.
  • Stamp on a scrap of paper the greeting from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set.  Trim and add a bit of Washi Tape.  Pop on the Blueberry Bushel panel.
  • Add three Basic Jewel Pearls in various spots on the card and the card front is finished.
  • The inside sentiment panel is left blank for a note.  A strip of Pick A Pattern Washi Tape is adhered down the left side so it won’t look so plain.

That’s the card for today.  I hope you like it.  Visit again soon.  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!

Painted Seasons with Botanical Butterfly

Painted Seasons with Botanical Butterfly

My card is created using the Painted Seasons Bundle.  The Designer Series Paper is so pretty.  This panel that I have used for this card is so cool and clean looking.  It makes me think of a hot afternoon sitting in the cool parlor of an old house long ago.  I remember it had a big ceiling fan that swirled around slowly but the coolness was divine on a hot summer day.  The Happy Day greeting is from the Itty Bitty Greeting stamp set.  I just can’t get away from that Itty Bitty, can I? Be it Itty Bitty Greetings or Itty Bitty Birthday!

My sketch design comes from Try Stamping On Tuesday.  

My card base is Lemon Lime Twist with a Pool Party mat for the Painted Seasons DSP.  The two different designs of the DSP make a good contrast.  A Coastal Cabana- Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon is wrapped around the focal panel and tied in a bow. Three butterflies cut from a panel of Botanical Butterfly DSP are scattered on the focal panel and adhered with Glue Dots.  The focal panel is adhered to the Pool Party mat then the panels are adhered to the card base.

The inside Whisper White sentiment panel is stamped in Call Me Clover ink using a stamp from the Cake Soriee stamp set.  A flower is also stamped in Call Me Clover on the panel.  The panel is matted on a panel of Pool Party card stock and adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.  It amazes me how the flower look once it has been added to the blog post it looks nothing like that in real time.  I took several pictures and each one turned out with that effect. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  May you find encouragement and inspiration just a bit from my card.  Have a blessed day.

Climbing Roses with Botanical Butterfly DSP

Climbing Roses with Botanical Butterfly DSP

In creating my card for today I used the Climbing Roses stamp set and Botanical Butterfly DSP.  This was a fun card to make, but then they all are fun, what am I saying, but I do love butterflies.  My inspiration and design come from the challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches.

I started with a Basic Black card base.  You can see the layers in the picture above and the ones below.  First is a Highland Heather panel layer, next is a panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP for the next layer.  Two butterflies are colored on this panel using Light Old Olive, Light Highland Heather, and Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends.  The next layer is another Highland Heather panel that is the mat for the Whisper White panel that has the greeting stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink.   The greeting is from the Climbing Roses stamp set.  This panel has two fussy cut butterflies from the Botanical Butterfly DSP adhered with Glue Dots.  The long vertical panel is Highland Heather for the mat and Whisper White for the art piece.  The butterflies for the art piece has been fussy cut from the Botanical Butterfly DSP also and adhered with Glue Dots to the Whisper White panel.  To me, they do not look fussy cut from a panel of the Botanical Butterfly DSP but stamped and colored with watercolor pens or Stampin’ Blend Markers.  Using a black fine point pen (non-Stampin’ Up!) just a regular pen you write with, I made dots on this panel.  After all the panels were adhered using Liquid Glue the final thing was to pop the finished panel on the Basic Black base.  

 The inside sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black Ink on the label made from one of the dies in the Climbing Rose bundle.  It is adhered to a panel from the Botanical Butterfly DSP that has been matted on a panel of Highland Heather card stock.  The butterflies on the Botanical Butterfly DSP panel are colored using Light Balmy Blue, Highland Heather, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blend Markers.  A Whisper White panel is adhered above the sentiment panel for a note whether it birthday, thinking of you, or sympathy that you are using it for, you will be able to have a spot for a personal note.

Thank you for stopping by.  Here’s hoping you find encouragement and inspiration for your creations.  Have a blessed day!
