Awesome You - a Case

I cased this card from Craftyhallett on Pinterest.  I just loved her combination of the "Botanicals for You" stamp set and the Botanical Blooms and coordinating framelits and dies.









The base card if Marina Mist, layered with Whisper White.
Using the vine from the Botanical Builder die set, the left side of the Whisper White was die cut.  After this was done, the sentiment "Just for You" was stamped in Marina Mist, with the additional sentiment "...because you're awesome"

The smaller flowers were stamped with Marina Mist and Pink Pirouette, and tiny sprigs with Mossy Meadow.

Using the Botanical Builder dies/framelits, a yellow 2D flower was die cut as well as a black stamen center.  The stamen was adhered to the flower.

On a piece of  Old Olive cardstock, two large leaves were stamped in Old Olive Ink, and the veins in Mossy Meadow.  These two leaves, as well as the fringed leaf were die cut.

Before adhering the flower and the leaves, a 1" strip of vellum was adhered across the card.
The leaves and flower were attached to the card front as shown.

Rhinestones were added to the center of the larger flower, and the smaller stamped flowers as well.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Botanical for You, Botanical Blooms
Inks: Marina Mist, Pink Pirouette, Mossy Meadown, Old Olive
Papers: Marina Mist, Whisper White, Vellum, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Old Olive
Accessories: Botanical Builder Dies/framelits, rhinestones, dimensional.

Just for You - a Shaker Card

I just love the size of the font of this SAB stamp set.  When I saw it I immediately thought Shaker card.

This is a large card, mainly because the shaker part is the size of an A2 card.
I stamped the sentiment first using Memento ink, and then stamped the flowers around it using Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, Pool Party, and some tiny branches in Old Olive.

This is how I made the large shaker portiion.
On a 5 1/4 by 4" of Watercolor Wonder cardstock, a made 2 pencil marks in each corner at the 1/4" mark.  Then with the Stampin' Trimmer, I used those as landmarks to cut the 4 sides at 1/4", leaving a rectangle with a 1/4" border.
Then I attached a piece of Window Sheet  5 1/4 by 4" to the back of this rectangle.
I had some long pieces of 1/8" double sided foam strips which I placed on the pack of the window sheet.

The shaker elements consists of the following:  sequins in various colours, small punched fowers in Old Olive, yellow, Watermelon wonder, 1/8" circle punchies, 1/16" circle punchies.  You can see them in the picture below.

The base card if a 5 by 7" piece of Watermelon Wonder, layered with Whisper White, and then Wildflower Fields DSP.
Belore adding the Whisper White/DSP layers to the card base,, I placed a piece of 1" dotted Lace Watermelon Wonder ribbon across the middle of the card.
The shaker element was then added using dimensionals, and a ribbon make from the dotted lace ribbon was added to the left side.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Botanicals for You
Inks: Black Memento, Watermelon Wonder, Pool Party, Delightful Dijon, Old Olive
Papers: Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White, Wildflower Fields DSP, Window Sheet
Accessories: Stampin' Up trimmer, sequins, punchies of various sorts, dimensionals, small flower punch, 1/8" hand held punch, 1/16" hand held punch, 1" dotted Lace Watermelon Wonder ribbon.
