Large Post it Note Cover - A Little Smile

This is another one of my items for my craft table next week.
I took a 8 1/4 by 6" piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock, scored it at 4 and 4 1/4", inserted the post it note and then decorated the cover using the stamp set "A Little Smile"

The image was coloured with blendabilities, then cut out.The banner with the word "smile" was stamped and coloured separately.  Then it was cut out and attached to the image using dimensionals. The image was attached to a Daffodil Delight circle die cut with the circles framelits.  This framelit in turn as attached to a Coastal Cabana die cut with the Apothecary Accents framelits.  Dimensionals were used to attach the focal image to the DSP so that the ribbon could move smoothly beneath it.

Here are the supplies I used:

Valentine Day Card - Be Mine

Today I'm working ahead and making card samples for future classes.  At the end of the month the theme is Valentine's Day.  Here is one card for that class.  The second card will be shown under a separate post.

The colour scheme for Valentine's Day this year seems to be Real Red, Calypso Coral and Black.  All these colours have been used in this card.

The focal image was stamped with Basic Black on Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the Circle Framelits.  A Real Red mat was die cut using Starburst Framelits.  Some dazzling Detail was added around the perimeter of the white circle, because what's a Valentine's Day card without bling.

For the rest of the card, Calypso Coral cardstock was used as the base, layered with Whisper White which was embossed with the Lucky Hearts folder.  A 1 1/4" strip of striped Real Red and Calypso coral DSP from the Stacked with Love DSP pack was attached along the left side.  A 3/4" strip of mainly Calypso Coral DSP from the same DSP pack was notched at both ends and added to the lower part of the card.

The focal image was now attached to the card towards the left side.  The sentiment was stamped in Real Red and added just above the Calypso Coral notched strip.  Small heart punchies in Real Red, and Calypso coral, from the heart border punch, were added randomly above the sentiment.  Some Dazzling Details was placed on these as well.

Finally, some large rhinestones were attached to the Calypso Coral strip.  One was coloured Real Red, and the other Calypso Coral.

Butterfly Happy Birthday - Technostamper #348

I have a few birthdays coming up - and besides a Stampin' Up order came today and I just had to play with some of the stuff.
So, for the Technostamper challenge this week here I thought I would make a birthday card featuring the new Butterfly framelit.  I love it!  The framelit I mean.

 

A 4 3/4 by 3" piece of Whisper White card stock was embossed with Alphabet Press embossing folder and the surface lightly inked with Blushing Bride ink.  Across the bottom of this strip a 3/4" strip of Flowerpot DSP was attached.  A 1/8" strip of Garden Green cardstock was attached to the top of this.

A circle was die cut using the Circle framelits, Versa Mark ink applied, followed by heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds.  Then using the new Butterfly thinlet die, a butterfly was die cut using Blushing Bride cardstock.  Placing wax paper between the cardstock and the die really helped in getting the "little pieces" out of the final product.  A little bit of tombo glue adhered the butterfly to the glittered circle.

This circle was adhered to the prepared card using dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green.  It is from the Sale-a-bration stamp set "Big Day".  It was punched out using the Decorative Label punch.  To make the punchie smaller it was re-inserted into the punch.  It was matted with Garden Green cardstock.  The sentiment was also attached to the card using dimensionals.

Using a Blushing Bride marker, a small area of Dazzling diamond glitter paper was coloured, then stamped with the small heart punch.  This heart was attached to the sentiment with a glue dot.

The image panel was matted with Garden Green cardstock, and a scalloped strip was placed at the top.  The entire image panel was attached to the card front using dimensionals.  The card front, which is Blushing Bride card stock was embossed with the Large Dots embossing folder first.

Today and Everyday Enjoy the Ride

For the next 3 posts I will be posting cards I made using the Today and Everyday stamp set.
Today is the scooter, which I coloured with blendabilities and then applied Crystal Effects on the body to give it that metal look.

The basic card is comprised of Basic Gray card stock, layered with Whisper White cardstock embossed with Stylish Stripes folder.  At the bottom of this layer, I applied a piece of designer paper from the All Abloom paper stack.  A piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock punched with a retired border punch.  Some daffodil Delight seam binding was attached just below this punched strip.

After colouring the image, I die cut it using the Circles Framelit.  This was attached to a piece of designer paper die cut using the Ovals Framelit.  Both of these were applied to a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock die cut using the Labels Collection framelits.
