A Spring Lever Card - SUO Challenges #144

This is my first attempt at a Lever Card, and I will admit it was not easy.  I used the tutorial with Splitcoaststampers and I found that very helpful.

The challenge with SUO this week is "Welcome Spring"   and what is more of a harbinger of spring than a Robin.  So, I made the colouring of the bird from Honeycomb Happiness into that of a Robin and used several other SAB stamp sets to make a spring card.

 

Supplies Used: 
Stamps: Honeycomb Happiness, In the Meadow, Perfect Pairing
Inks: Black Memento, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, Markers: Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive), Marina Mist
Papers: Calypso Coral, Pretty Petals DSP, Whisper White, Old Olive
Accessories: Curvy Corner Trio Punch, dimensionals, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Screen Divider Card with Flowering Fields

I think the Field Flowering SAB stamp set is one my most favourite stamp sets.  And the coordinating DSP is just marvelous.

Today's card is a Screen Divider card with this stamp set and DSP as the focal elements.

I used the You Tube Tutorial made by Dawn here to make the basic frame of this card.

• The base card is Whisper White
• The top of the screen divider card is made using the heart edge punch
• The bottom of the card is made using the Decorative Label punch
• Each panel is lined with Blackberry Bliss, followed by Flowering Fields DSP and finally Whisper White cardstock.
• At the base of each panel are 2 different colours of Washi tape.
• Each panel is stamped with a different flower and coloured using ink pads and a blender pen. Glitter is added using the Wink of Stella glitter brush

• The sentiment is from "Up in the Air" and" Perfect Pairing"

Stamps: Flowering Fields, Up in the Air, Perfect Pairing
Inks: Black Memento, Perfect Plum, Always Artichoke, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Hello Honey, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon
Papers: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Flowering Field DSP
Accessories: Heart Edge Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Washi tape (retired), blender pen, Wink of Stella glitter brush

Happy Birthday Little Chick - a CASE from the SAB catalogue

Another sneak peak from the contents of the SAB catalogue.  This time I Cased a picture (well, almost Cased) from the catalogue itself, and used 2 of the stamp sets.

The basic card is a sidefold A2 card (in the catalogue the card is a top fold) in Bermuda Bay cardstock.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock, the image of the chick, holding a balloon was stamped using the "Honeycomb Happiness" stamp set.  The image stamped in Real Red is from" Perfect Pairing".  The "to you" in Black Memento underneath the main sentiment is from the same stamp set.

The images were coloured with ink pads and Aqua brushes.  The chick in Daffodil Delight and shaded with a bit of Hello Honey with the beak and feet in Pumpkin Pie.  Bermuda Bay was used to colour the balloon and the bow underneath it.  Then I added a new product from the upcoming Occasions catalogue - the clear Wink of Stella glitter brush- to the balloon.

A red heart, punched with the small heart punch was placed above the chick, and a rhinestone placed in the middle of it.

Some more rhinestones were adhered to the top left as well.

The image panel was adhered to the Bermuda Bay card front and underneath this was attached a piece of Bermuda Bay DSP.  Then some thick Bermuda Bay Baker's twine was wrapped around the card and tied into a bow right at the seam.  To do this I made a slit in the fold of the card with a craft knife where I wanted the twine to go through. The twine was pulled through the slit, around the inside and back to the front and tied into a bow.
