LAYERED FLORALS MEETS WHITE INK

Today’s card features a new 3D Embossing Folder named Layered Florals.  The depth of the embossing on this folder is really special and I wanted to do something to highlight that.  So I went to work using different techniques and this is what I came up with…

 

The card base is Starry Sky cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut a piece of Gold Foil to 4 x 5 ¼” and before doing anything else with it I cut the second to the smallest of the labels from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies out to use later.  Once that was cut out I embossed the gold layer with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and added it to my card base.  I cut a piece of Starry Sky cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and embossed it with the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder. 

Once it was embossed, I simply used a Sponge Dauber and gently added White Craft Ink to the raised areas to make them really pop.  Remember go light because you can add more but you can’t take it away once it is there.  I stamped my sentiment “Hope You’re Feeling Better Soon” from the So Sincere Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using VersaMark Ink and added Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it.  I cut this out using the smallest of those labels from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies and attached it to the larger one I had cut from the gold.  I twisted a little of the Simply Elegant Trim around the back of the sentiment allowing it to stick out on both sides and then attached this whole thing to my card using Dimensionals.  The final addition was three of the gold sequins from the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins. 

For the inside I took a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed just about the bottom 1” of it using that Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.  Once it was embossed, I flipped it over and lined up the edge with my cutter and used the score blade to add a nice little line to separate the areas, I love how it looks.  I also embossed the flap on the envelope to give the whole card a coordinating look.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:

BLUEBERRY HELLO

Today’s card features the cute new Blueberry Bunches Stamp set from the January – April Mini Catalog.  As soon as I saw this stamp set I just couldn’t get over how cute it was and all the things I could think of to do with it (I even have some blueberry paper left over from a previous Sale-A-Bration that I can’t wait to use with it).  So I decided for this card I would do some stamping, coloring and a little fussy cutting.  Now these berries are super easy to fussy cut so don’t be intimidated.  Here is what I came up with…

 

The card base is Orchid Oasis cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Starry Sky (love that dark against the lighter) that measured 3 ¼ x 4 ½” and then I cut my Basic White layer to 3 x 4 ¼”.  For my Basic White layer, I wanted to add some additional interest so I turned the piece over and scored from the back at ½ and 5/8” on the top and bottom (this adds some lines that you may or may not be able to see in the photo but they look great on the card and add some nice detail).  Then I took my Petal Park Stamp Set and grabbed out the stamp with these little dots (there are lots of sets with these or you could even create them yourself with a Stampin’ Write or Stampin’ Blend Marker) I used Starry Sky Ink. 

I stamped my image from the Blueberry Bunches Stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored with with Orchid Oasis, and Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends (note: I did use my color lifter Stampin’ Blend just to remove a little of the Orchid Oasis marker in some areas to give it a look of a shadow.  I stamped my sentiment “Hello There” also from the Blueberry Bunches Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the oval die from the All That Dies (you could use any shape die or punch you have to create this.  Then I added the whole thing to the front of my card with Dimensionals and finished it off with a bow made from the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon which I added using a Mini Glue Dot.

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped two of the blueberry bunches off the sides, added my dot stamp and colored them the same as I did on the front.

SENDING COMFORT AND STRENGHT

Today’s card features the Paper Florist Dies from the annual catalog along with the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.  I think these two products work great together and I also threw in the Dainty Delight Dies and the Sending Smiles Stamp and Dies for good measures.

Here is what I came up with…

 

The card base is Bubble Bath cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I cut a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8” (note here, if you want to maximize your paper cut all the melon mambo flowers from the center of this layer before adding the Designer Series Paper, no one will see it or know but you can save a lot of paper) and added a piece of the beautiful Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper to it that measures 4 x 5 ¼” (I love this paper as it replicates an old technique of paper tearing without all the work).  Once I had the base all prepared, I went to work on cutting out my flowers (see photos below).  Using the Paper Florist Dies, for the largest of the flowers, I actually cut half in Basic White and half in Bubble Bath and added some Bubble Bath Ink to the white ones for a tonal difference (this can be done with a dauber or blending brush).  To create this flower simply curl the petals with a bone folder for movement and adhere together off setting with the largest petals on the bottom.  For the second largest flower I cut 2 sets of the petals out of Melon Mambo cardstock (for a total of 8 petal pieces) and again curled with a bone folder and adhered them together off setting with the largest petals on the bottom.  I also cut the pistil (center of the flower) out of a scrap of Basic White cardstock and added it.  For the smaller of the flowers, I used the Dainty Delight Dies (see below) and cut three of the Daisies out of Melon Mambo cardstock and again curled the petals and adhered to one another offset.  I cut the three little tulips from Melon Mambo cardstock and the two leaves and stems of the tulips from Parakeet Party cardstock.  Now just assemble and attach to card.

For my sentiment I stamped “COMFORT & STRENGHT” from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set onto a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock and used one of the sentiment labels from the coordinating Sending Smiles Dies to cut it out.  I cut out a second of those labels from Melon Mambo, cut it in half and attached it behind the sentiment so that about ¼” was sticking out from each side.  The sentiment was then attached to the card using Mini Dimensionals.  For the final additions I added some of the Tinsel Gems (inside the two larger flowers) and some of the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (one in the small daisy and three on the card front).  All in all I have to say I was really pleased with how the card turned out.
