It’s Your Day! Floral Essence

It’s Your Day! Floral Essence

Here is a sneak peek of the Perennial Essence DSP.  I think I am going to love, love, love it.  But…  every time I use one of the new Designer Series Paper, I end up saying I love it.  Guess I just love them all.

My sketch design is based on the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #321.   I alter it a bit an put the triangles more in the middle.

My card is created using the Perennial Essence DSP  and the Floral Essence stamp set.  

Recipe:

Card Front

  • Card Base — Blackberry Bliss.
  • Balmy Blue card stock panel for a mat for Perennial Essence DSP.  Adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A Perennial Essence DSP panel cut for the focal panel.
  • Mossy Meadow card stock mat for the Balmy Blue card stock triangles.
  • A scrap of Balmy Blue card stock for greeting from the Best Catch stamp set.

  • Three Pearl Basic Jewel added to the card front. 

Inside:

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!

Heartfelt with Well Said

Heartfelt with Well Said

Welcome, I get the honor of being a guest designer for WWYS2.  Thank you for dropping by today.   We are using the Well Said stamp bundle.  I am in shock that I could actually come up with a card from a stamp set that is majority greeting and sentiments.  I am thrilled for the challenge and I think the card turned out ok.  Goes to show what you can create with a little imagination.

 

 

Of course, you always start with a card base, which I have chosen Pool Party that has been embossed using the Layered Leaves TIEF for mine.  I then took a sponge with Pool Party ink and lightly sponged a few areas of the embossing.  A  3-1/4″ x 4-1/8″ panel of Pear Pizzazz was cut and sponged with Pool Party also.  A panel of Very Vanilla sponged with the Pool Party ink is cut and adhered at an angle over the Pear Pizzazz panel.  Flower stems in Pear Pizzazz and flowers in Rich Razzleberry have been cut using the Well Said stamp set.  These are adhered to the Very Vanilla panel using Liquid Glue in various spots.  The flowers have a pearl from the Basic Pearl Jewels adhered to their center.  The word “Heartfelt” is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink in the upper left corner.  The word “sympathy has been cut using the sympathy die in the Well Written Framelits Dies.  I cut four so the word would have dimension.  I also used an Adhesive Backed Sheet when cutting so that adhering them together would be easier.

Again, thank you for stopping by today.!

Stampin’ Up! Products Used in Creating This Card

 

Beautiful — Botanical Butterfly!

Beautiful — Botanical Butterfly!

My card today is created using the beautiful Botanical Butterfly DSP (free with $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration).

My sketch layout is from Tuesday Morning Sketches who is honoring Jessi Fogan this week by using one of her last sketches.  My butterfly design is in memory of Jessi also.  Jessi’s spirit like my butterflies will forever flutter around her family letting them know she is close.

The card base is Highland Heather.  A Basic Black mat is cut and a panel of Thick Whisper White is adhered to the Basic Black using Liquid Glue after running it through the Big Shot to emboss using the Subtles TIEF. These two are then adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue.  

Next are two panels of the Botanical Butterfly DSP, both matted on Basic Black card stock and adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.

The square of the Botanical Butterfly DSP is cut with a square Stitched Shapes Framelits die and the greeting from Postcard Pals stamp set is stamped in Memento Black ink on a diagonal, it is then matted on a square of Basic Black card stock and popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Butterflies are fussy cut from a piece of the Botanical Butterfly DSP and popped on the card front with Glue Dots. Two Pearl Basic Jewels are adhered to butterflies and one is adhered in the corner of the square. 

That’s the card front.

The inside sentiment is stamped in Memento Black Ink on a panel of Whisper White that has a Basic Black mat.  Butterflies have again been cut from the beautiful Botanical Butterfly DSP and scatter around the sentiment panel and adhered with Liquid Glue.

Isn’t this a pretty card.  It turned out great! Hope you like it!  May you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.

Shirley

Incredible Like You

Incredible Like You

Welcome!

Three days until Christmas! Are you all ready!  This person hasn’t bought the first gift!  Haven’t had the time.  Is that a good excuse?  Enough of that on to the card for today.  I am  using Incredible Like You (available January 3, which isn’t too long), Butterfly Gala (also available January 3) and  Bunches of Blossoms from the Annual catalog.

I am playing along at Watercooler Wednesday “Anything Goes“.  

The card is started with a Pear Pizzazz card base, then a Whisper White mat that has been embossed using the Pinewood Plank embossing folder, then adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  A  panel of Basic Black card stock is cut for the mat to the art piece.  The art piece is stamped using Lovely Lipstick and Pear Pizzazz ink.  The flowers are a two step process and  from the stamp set Incredible Like You (available January 3), This technique is something I have never tried before.  It took me practice and three tries before I finally was able to think this piece was acceptable.  As always practice makes perfect, so I must try it again to see  the results.  You stamp the darkest color first or that is the way I did it and then you stamp the lightest color, stamping off once to make the color lighter.  The color is Lovely Lipstick, but to me it looks more like Cherry Cobbler.  The art piece is now adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue and a length of Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ ribbon is wrapped around the art piece.  This is now adhered to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a scrap of Whisper White, then cropped using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies. It is popped over the ribbon in the lower right corner of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A tiny butterfly is cut using one of the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (available January  3). A pearl from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearl pack is glued to the butterfly. A Glue Dot is used to adhere to the card front.  Three pearls from the same pack are adhered to the upper right corner.

The inside sentiment is a big Happy Birthday stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a panel of Whisper White.

You can find the products used in creating this card along with the card cuts at the end of this post.  Thank you for stopping by, my wish as usual is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
