Birthday in silver & ribbon - The Joy of SetsTic Tac Toe Challenge

Every month the team at The Joy of Sets Facebook Group has a challenge. For January, the challenge with the Joy of Sets is a Tic Tac Toe one #JOSTTT001




I chose to do the silver, birthday, ribbon

To make this card, I used the silver blank cards with coordinating envelopes which were offered in the Christmas catalogue, along with the current SAB stamp "Lovely Lace".

After embossing the image with silver embossing powder on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock, it was coloured  with Stampin' Blends.   3 different colours (Lovely Lipstick, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight)were used  for the flowers - Old Olive for the leaves. The lace was coloured in a light smokey slate.

The new stitched rectangular framelits were used to die cut the image, die cutting it twice to make the image square.  After matting this piece  with silver foil card stock, I added some 3/8" white silver edged ribbon along the left edge and a double bow at the top.

Dimensionals were used to add the art piece to the card front.

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment, from "Cake Soiree" was also silver embossed before being die cut and mounted on silver foil.  Dimensionals were also used to add it to the card front at the bottom.

On the left lower corner, I added 3 silver foil flowers punched with the retired Petite Flower punch.  After shaping them a tiny pearl was added to each center and they were adhered to the card using glue dots.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Cake Soiree, Lovely Lattice
Inks:  Versa Mark, Stampin' Blends (Light and dark Lovely Lipstick, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Smokey Slate)
Papers:  Whisper White, Silver Foil, A2 silver edged foil card and coordinating envelope
Accessories:  3/8" white silver edged ribbon, pearls, Silver embossing powder, dimensionals.

Happy Anniversary Cake Soiree using Eclipse Technique

I'm really happy with the way this anniversary card turned out.

I opted to use a silver and white color scheme for this elegant card with just a hint of color on the flowers on the cake. Using the eclipse technique contributed to the elegance of this card.

The basic card is a top fold Thick Whisper White, layered with Silver Foil and then Whisper White embossed with the Sequins embossing folder.

Before adhering the embossed Whisper White layer to the Silver Foil layer, it was die cut with 2 sizes of oval framelits.  I did the same thing using Silver Foil.  The cake was built on the die cut oval, which was adhered to the silver foil layer.  The silver foil frame was added to the card front using foam adhesive strips (eclipse technique).  The embellishment at the upper right was made by silver embossing and die cutting one of the flowers and two leaves and adhering them with dimensionals.

Here's a side view of the eclipsed oval frame.

Sentiment is from "Best Birds"

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Cake Soiree, Best Birds
Inks:  Versa Mark, Markers (Sea side foam, powder pink)
Papers:  Thick Whisper White, Silver Foil, Whisper White
Accessories:  Silver embossing powder, Sweet Cake Framelits, Layering Oval Framelits, Scattered Sequins embossing folder, Dimensionals

Mr. & Mrs. - Technostamper #263

My nephew is getting married in June, so I needed a wedding card, using the sketch challenge with Technostamper here to make the card.  It's the first time I've been invited to a family wedding for about 10 years.  It will be nice to see everyone.

 

The focal image sentiment was stamped with Versa Mark onto Whisper White card stock, and embossed with silver embossing powder.  Then, with a silver Stampin' Dazzle marker I drew lines around the edges of the panel.  This panel was layered first with Silver card stock, and then with Not Quite Navy card stock.  Rhinestones were placed on 3 corners.

The base card is Not Quite Navy, layered with Whisper White, then Silver card stock embossed with the Beautifully Baroque folder.  A Not Quite Navy banner was attached to the left side of the card, and the image panel was adhered so that the left end almost fit over the entire banner.  A smaller Lucky Limeade banner was embossed with the Square Lattice folder and adhered on top of the other banner and part of the image panel

A white crepe flower was made using the 1 1/4" scallop circle punch and the 7/8" scallop circle punch.  A regal brad was inserted in the middle of all layers, and the layers were fluffed up.  I sprayed some silver spritz on the top of the flower.  The flower was adhered to the top of a bow made with 5/8" white organza ribbon and attached to the top of the Lucky Limeade banner with glue dots.

Here's a summary of supplies used:
Stamp: Mr & Mrs
Ink: Versa Mark
Papers: Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, Silver, Lucky Limeade, Crepe Paper
Accessories: Beautifully baroque folder, Square Lattice folder, Silver embossing powder, 5/8" White Organza ribbon, 1 1/4" scallop circle punch, 7/8" scallop circle punch, Regal brad, rhinestones
