Sunburst Meets Botanical Blooms

This was one of my class projects for the night.  I decided to pair the Sunburst Thinlet with the Botanical Builder Blooms.  It was a lot of work at the Big Shot, but it was well worth it.

We started by Die cutting the Sunburst framelit using Hello Honey cardstock, after which the die cut was embossed with the Gently Falling Embossing Folder.
This embossed piece then was adhered to a 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Botanical Blooms DSP, and the ends extending over the edge trimmed off.

The following were Die Cut: 1 large 3D flower in Pool Party, 2 smaller 3D flowers (one in Daffodil Delight, and one in Cajun Craze), two tiny flowers (one in Hello Honey and one in Cajun Craze).  Then the centers of the flowers:  2 large (one in Basic Black and one in Hello Honey) and one small one in Basic Black, two large leaves and two small leaves in Old Olive (sponge edges with Mossy Meadow ink).

The following were punched:  One each of  1 3/8" circle in Basic Black; 1 1/2" circle in Hello Honey; and a 1 1/4 " circle in Old Olive.  The Basic Black and Hello Honey were adhered together using dimensionals: the other two adhered to the card base and the circle below it.

The sentiment, from "Sunburst Sayings" was stamped using Black Memento onto Whisper White and die cut using a Banners framelit.

Assemble the flowers as shown and adhere to the card front.  Put some rhinestones in the flower centers as one must have bling!!

This card was a class hit!

New Home

Today I made another card using the SAB "You Brighten My Day" stamp set.  This time the little house stamp was used to make a New Home card.
Again, I used a lot of the SAB products to make this card.

The base card is Coastal Cabana, lined with Whisper White, and then Best Year Ever DSP (SAB).  This paper reminds me so much of the Bokeh technique that is so popular right now.

Just a little more than half way down, the tree outline from the stamp set "Wood You Be Mine?" was stamped with Old Olive ink all the way across.  Just below that a strip of Old Olive cardstock embossed with the Chevron folder was attached.

Three houses were stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock with Memento ink.  They were coloured with blendabilities - two with just Crumb Cake, and the third (the new house) was coloured with Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, and Daffodil Delight.  All the houses were cut out.  The two crumb cake houses were glued  side by side with a space between them, with the bottom of the houses touching the Old Olive strip.

A piece of ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (coastal cabana) was added to the top of the seam line of the Old Olive piece, slightly covering the base of the houses.  The third house was added between and below the other 2 houses using dimensionals.

The sentiment was computer generated, punched with the small oval punch and matted with the Modern Word Label punch.

You Brighten My Day

Sale-a-bration is in full swing, and the stamp set and DSP I used are free with an order of $60.00 or more.
"You Brighten my Day" - isn't that what friends are all about?

The image was stamped with Memento ink onto White cardstock.  Then coloured with blendabilites - Daffodil Delight.  It was punched with the 1 3/4" circle punch, and layered with a Daffodil Delight die from the Circles framelit using dimensionals. It was then attached to a Coastal Cabana  window die cut using the Windows framelit.

The base card is Coastal Cabana, layered with Whisper White, and then You Brighten My Day DSP (SAB).  A smaller piece of the same DSP was matted with Soft Suede cardstock, and attached to the card, with a strip of Soft Suede laying across it.  The Soft Suede piece was embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing folder and a piece of Coastal Cabana ribbon (part of the Best Year Ever  accessory pack  SAB) spanned across it.  I also made a ribbon from it and attached it to the right side of the card.
The buttons are also from the SAB accessory pack.
