Just for You - a Slim Line card for TSOT #641

 When I saw the sketch challenge at TSOT, I knew I was going to make a slim line card, and I also knew that I wanted to use the faux ribbon technique on the panel on the card front.

I wanted to make a St. Patrick's Day card, but it just wouldn't go together for me, so I abandoned those attempts and created the current card using the "Cheerful Daisies" bundle.

But the idea of using the faux ribbon technique for the panel persisted in my mind. I had some  "Fresh as a Daisy" DSP left over, so I cut a couple of small strips of two of the patterns.  These I adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock 1 1/2 by 8" which I had penciled marks every 1/2", starting with the solid coloured one. See picture below. Does it not look like a ribbon rolling down the paper?

The finished panel was added to a piece of Basic White card stock embossed with a slimline embossing folder that has dots on it. I love adding texture to my cards. This embossed piece was added to the Garden Green card base.

At the bottom left I added some Daisy flowers which I assembled after die cutting them using the dies that coordinate with the stamp set.

The sentiment is from "Celebrating You" and the embellishments are from the Holiday Rhinestone collection.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Cheerful Daisies, Celebrating You

Inks:  Crushed Curry, Garden Green

Papers: Garden Green, Basic White, Fresh as a Daisy DSP (retired), Daffodil Delight     

Accessories:  Slimline embossing folder (dots), Holiday rhinestone collection, Dimensionals                                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Just for You - a Shaker card for #601 Try Stampin on Tuesday

 For this challenge I decided to make a shaker card.  That circle in the sketch was calling out to me "shake it up" - so of course - I did.

The theme was to use pastel colours, so the cardstock used in this card featured Crumb Cake with Seaside Spray.

The theme for this card was to use pastel colours.  Keeping that in mind, I used Crumb Cake for the card base, and layered that with Basic White.  On top of that was adhered a 3 1/2 by 5 1/4" piece of Seaside Spray card stock embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing folder.

In the left end, I used a Circle Stylish Die to create a 2" aperture for the shaker. A piece of clear window sheet was adhered to the wrong side of the die cut circle. Strips of foam tape were added to the edges of the Seaside Spray piece, pastel sequins were added and the shaker was born.  

A frame was added around the outer circle.  This was made by die cutting a piece of Basic White card stock with 2 sizes of the circle die at the same time.

Around the bottom of the circle, I added flowers and greenery from the Framed Florets stamp set.  The flowers were coloured with Light Calypso Coral stampin blend.  The Daffodil Delight in the center was covered up with gold Prills giving the flowers a bit of texture.  I also die cut 2 daisy flowers using the Dainty Delight dies.  I coloured only the center of these .  The leaves and greenery were lightly coloured with Soft Succulent blends,

After lightly shaping the flowers and leaves, I added them around the bottom of the circle using dimensionals. After they were set in place I added some Crystal Effects around the edges of the petals.

The sentiment was stamped on a 1/2 by 3" piece of Basic White .  One edge was notched and then it was added across the middle of the circle using dimensionals.

To finish the card, I added some adhesive backed sequins and a dragonfly trinket.

Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Framed Florets, Celebrating You

Inks:  Black Memento, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent blends

Papers:  Basic White, Seaside Spray, Crumb Cake

Accessories:  Window sheet, Pastel shaker elements, Crystal Effects, Dragonfly Effects, Stylish Shape dies (circle), Dainty Delight Die , Adhesive backed sequins, Timeworn Type Embossing Folder, Gold prills (flower center), Dimensionals

Peaceful Reflection - Just for You - another catalogue sneak peak

This stamp set provided a bit of a challenge for me.  Sometimes it's not obvious how certain stamps of a set work together and this is one of those sets.

After experimenting with various combinations, I settled on this design.

The leaf and stem were stamped first using Old Olive ink, then I two step stamped the flower using Daffodil Delight first followed by Crushed Curry.

Below the flower I stamped three smaller leaves.and  the stem in the water was grounded by  a small eddy.

To add texture and dimension, I used the dot stamp from "Timeless Texture, and stamped "dots" around the plant using Balmy Blue ink (stamped off ).

The Labels framelit was used to die cut the image, and this was matted with green glimmer paper.

The sentiment, from "Root in Nature " was also die cut with the smallest to the label framelits and added to the die cut image with small dimensionals.  A double bow made using the 1/4" white organza ribbon was added at the bottom of the stem.

The base card is Old Olive, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Ruffles Texture Embossing folder. A 2" strip of Delightful Daisy DSP edged with green glimmer paper on both long sides was adhered towards the left of the card front.  A strip of1/4" white organza ribbon was also added.

The focal image was added to the card front using dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:Peaeeful Reflection, Rooted in Nature, Timeless Texture
Inks:  Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Balmy Blue
Papers:  Old Olive, Whisper Whit, Daisy Delight DSP, Green Glimmer Paper
Accessories:  Lots of Labels Framelits Ruffles Embossing folder, Green glitter gem, Dimensionals, 1/4" white organza ribbon.

Watercolor Wings - Just for You

Yes the retirement list is out, and one of the stamps on the list is one on my favourites - "Water Color Wings" on Pg. 134 as well as the accompanying "Bold Butterfly Framelits" on Pg. 213.  I do so hate to see them go, so today I am making a card with this favourite of mine

The Stamparatus makes triple stamping so much easier, so of course I used this new tool to stamp the butterfly.  I stamped it in now time!

Colors for the butterfly, in the order stamped:  Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide
Sentiment stamped in Tranquil Tide.

The butterfly was die cut with the retiring Bold Butterfly Framelit, and adhered by the body of the butterfly only, to a delicate doillie which  was placed on top of a Lots of Labels framelit which I embossed with the Striped Embossing Folder.

Some glitter enamel dots were added to the bottom and top butterfly wings.

The base card is Berry Burst, layered with Whisper White and then Fresh Florals Specialty DSP (Berry Burst).  Some 1/4" Metallic Edge Berry Burst was added to the left side of the card , wrapping it around the Whisper white and DSP layers.  A bow was added at the top.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Water Color Wings
Inks:  Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide
Papers:  Berry Burst, Whisper White, Fresh Florals DSP
Accessories:  Bold Butterfly Framelits, Labels Framelit, Stripes Embossing Folder, Glitter Enamel Dots, Stamparatus, Doillie

Friends & Flowers - Try Stampin' on Tuesday #262

For some reason tonight is the first time I have picked up this stamp set tonight, and I'm having a blast with it.  Those of you who know me know that I love flowers, and love making them.  The flower on this card is the second one I've made in half an hour.

I made this flower for the sketch challenge with Try Stampin' on Tuesday .  Originally, this sketch had an optional theme of St. Patrick's Day with it, but I'm somewhat late for that as St. Patrick's Day is long and gone.

 

• I started out by making the flower, and to do this I stamped 10 images of the petal from the stamp set "Friends & Flowers" in Hello Honey on a 1 3/4" strip of Whisper White cardstock and 2 of the smaller joined petals. Three smaller leaf petals were stamped in Pear Pizzaz
• Using the Festive Flower Builder Punch, each petal/leaf was punched out.
• These petals were hot glued to a 1 1/4" circle of Hello Honey - 5 on the bottom, and 5 on the top.  The two joined petals were crisscrossed and hot glued to the top.  The leaves were adhered two together at one side and singly on the other.
• Some SU gold dazzling details was added around each petal.
• Then a Designer Wooden button was added to the flower center; followed by a medium pearl.

• The basic card is Crumb Cake, layered with Whisper White and then English Country Garden DSP.
• A large banner was die cut using the banner framelits.  The banner was embossed using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.
• Across the bottom of the banner, the sentiment was stamped on a strip of Whisper White cardstock.
• The assembled flower was adhered to the top of the banner.  

Supplies:
Stamps: Friends & Flowers, Watercolor Wings
Inks:  Hello Honey, Pear Pizzazz, Black Memento
Papers:Crumb Cake, Whisper White, English Country Garden DSP
Accessories: Festive Flower Builder Punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Gold dazzling details, Fancy Fan embossing folder, Large Pearl, Designer Neutral wood button. Hot glue gun.

Butterfly Basics Just for You - Technostamper 364

Finally, I got some time to sit down and create something.  It seems all week I've been running here and running there, but tonight is my time.

For the sketch challenge with Technostamper I thought I would stamp and colour an image rather than use DSP.  I used the stamp set "Butterfly Basics" and coloured it using the new in-colours ink pads and an aqua painter.

 

• The basic cardstock is Delightful Dijon, layered with Whisper White and then Cherry on Top DSP stack.
• The image was stamped with Black Stazon ink onto Whisper White cardstock and coloured with ink pads and an aqua painter.  Some dazzline details was used on the flowers.
• The image panel was then cut into 3 pieces: 1/2" at the bottom, and then at 1".  When applied to the DSP a 1/8" space was allowed between the cut pieces.
• To make the ribbon flower, I cut a piece of 1" Delightful Dijon dotted lace trim, and with a large eyed needle, and linen thread, I placed stitches along the unscalloped edge.  Pulling the thread forms the flower.  After tying the linen thread off, a 5/8" neutral brad was inserted in the middle, and the unit was adhered using a glue gun.

Close up of ribbon flower

• The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny sayings, and punched using the Word Window punch.

Summer Silhouette - Faux Tile Technique

Another day closer to the day when the new catalogue comes out.  The retirement list is getting smaller and smaller, but there are still some deals to be had.
I tried a new technique today - the faux tile technique- and I used a stamp set and its coordinating punch that are retiring.

I used Frenchie's video here as my guide in doing this technique.  It was very helpful.

The base card is Early Espresso, layered with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that had been scored using the Scoring tool and the diagonal scoring plate.

The 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla was placed on the diagonal scoring plate with the 4" side at the top.  Rub the piece of cardstock with a crumpled piece of aluminum foil.  This makes scoring easier.  The cardstock was scored from the left hand corner across to the other side (1 1/4" from the bottom), and again at 2" and across to the other side.
Then on the edge below the corner it was scored again at 2" and 4" (all the way across).

The piece of cardstock was then turned so that the 5 1/4" side was on the top, and it was scored at the corner, 2" and 4" .  Below the corners down the left side, it was also scored at 2 and 4".  Again, these scores went all the way across to the other side.

Do the same thing on a piece of printer paper, and cut out a template for the tiles.

Place the template over the scored piece of cardstock, matching the scored lines.  Start on the second row from the bottom, and with a sponge dauber and Crumb Cake ink, lightly ink the cardstock on the scored line making a light swiping motion (not a rotating one) starting from the bottom "V".  Return to the "V" and apply a little more ink to make it darker.

Do this for all the squares.

When done, apply Early Espresso ink to the stamp from "Summer Silhouettes" and stamp along the left hand side.

Attach a piece of neutral chevron ribbon across the middle, and adhere this piece to the Early Espresso base.  On a separate piece of cardstock, stamp "Just for You" from "Label Love"stamp set and punch it out with the Artisan Label punch. Adhere to the front of the card using dimensionals.

Both the stamp set "Label Love" and the Artisan Label punch are retiring the end of the month.

Double winged Side View of Swallowtail - Just for you

I've seen cards on Pinterest of a sideview double winged Swallowtail and I just had to make one.  It took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I did it.  Here is the result:

Here is how I did it.
I stamped the full image of the Swallowtail twice using black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and coloured both images using blendabilities. Then I cut each butterfly in half, and glued the wings together only near the body.  I ended up with two 3D butterflies each facing a different direction.  I placed the butterfly on the card so that it was hovering over a flower.
The background was made by first embossing a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the tulip edge embossing folder, and then sponging the surface using Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink.  The edge was sponged with Soft suede ink.

The flower was made using the following punches:  pansy punch, 1/2" scallop circle punch and 3/4" circle punch.

Stamps: Swallowtail, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks: Black Memento, blendabilities, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Soft Suede
Papers: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Tulip framed embossing folder, dazzling details, Pansy punch, 1/2" scallop circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, rhinestone

Just for You - Butterfly card - Pals Paper Arts #193

Today I made sure I got the posting for the challenge with Pals Paper Arts correct.  Yesterday I did not.
I'm itching for Spring to arrive so that I can see butterflies in my garden again.  But it's so cold today I'm despairing that the temperature will ever get above 0 degrees (C).
This card is for the sketch challenge with Pals Paper Arts here, featuring vellum butterflies.

The card features a Pool Party base, layered with Whisper White cardstock and then with This and That Epic DSP.  A strip of Pool Party was attached to the left side of the card upon which 1 1/4" embossed circles were mounted and then the butterflies.

I placed a Pool Party ruffled ribbon on one edge of this Pool Party strip.

The butterflies were stamped with Versa Mark on vellum and embossed with black embossing powder.  They were then coloured on the wrong side using markers and the colours blended with an aqua painter.  Using the Backyard Basics framelits, the butterflies were die cut, folded in half and attached to the circles using glue dots.

Stamps: Backyard Basics, Label Love

Inks: Versa Mark, Pool Party, Markers (Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green)

Papers: Pool Party, Whisper White, This and That Epic DSP

Accessories: 3/8" ruffled Pool Party ribbon, Decorative dots embossing folder, black embossing powder, Aqua painter, Backyard Basics framelits, Artisan Label punch, pearls

I am still unable to e-mail any of my yahoo groups, so I hope as many of you as possible sign up to follow me by e-mail.

I phoned Yahoo yesterday only to have them direct me to their Help webside- which I had already done.  It seems my position may be permanent.  

I can e-mail individuals, but I can't e-mail groups.  I have no idea how this happened, but I guess with computers there are challenges.

Dahlia Fold Card - Technostamper #261

After this weekend, when the weather was so wonderfully warm, I began to feel in the Spring mood. Yes, there are still flood warnings in the community, but I've just had to put the worries aside.  Worrying isn't going to stop the waters from coming.  So I spent the weekend Spring cleaning, and painting (doors, windows, door frames etc).  I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Because I am in the Spring mood, the card I made for the Technostamper challenge  here reflects bright colours.

I wanted to make a Dahlia fold flower as the focal image of this card.  But first I needed a refresher in how to make them as I hadn't made one in a while. If any of you need a refresher  too check out the tutorial here

The Summer Smooches designer paper was used to make this folded flower, and a Summer Smooches brad was inserted in the center.  The flower was adhered to

The basic card is Island Indigo card stock, layered with Whisper White card stock, then Summer smooches DSP.

A separate platform was made for the flower, using first Daffodil Delight, then Whisper White card stock.  For both of these layers, the corners were rounded using a 1 1/4" circle punch.  The Whisper White card stock was embossed with the Honeycomb folder.  Near the top of this platform, a strip of Tangerine Tango, layered with Island Indigo was adhered.  The Tangerine Tango layer was embossed with the square Lattice embossing folder.

The flower was adhered to the left side of the Tangerine Tango strip.

The entire unit was attached to the DSP using dimensionals.

Here's a summary of the stamps/materials used
Stamp:  Teeny Tiny wishes
Ink: Black Stazon
Papers: Island Indigo, Whisper White, Summer Smooches DSP, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Honeycomb folder, Square Lattice folder, 1 3/8" circle punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, Summer Smooches brad, Word Window Punch, Modern Word Label punch, glue gun, dimensionals.

Feeling Sentimental Just For You - The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #201

The world Catholics have a new Pope - someone from Argentina!  I couldn't believe it when white smoke came out of the chimney!
I seem to be on a masculine card roll this week.  This card features one of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets and was made using the sketch challenge with The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge here

 

This 5 by 5" square card has a base of Early Espresso, layered with Very Vanilla card stock.  The next layer two different pieces of  DSP from the Print Poetry SDP stack.

I stamped the image using Early Espresso ink, stamping off 2 times backwards in order to create the semblance of motion. This image panel was matted with Midnight Muse cardstock using dimensionals. It was attached to the DSP at the level of the darkest DSP.  A piece of stitched Midnight Muse ribbon completed the card.  The embellishment is a Silver Soda Pop Top which I flattened in the Big Shot.  I place a 1/2" circle of Midnight Muse in the center of this pop top followed by a bow made with Blue/white Baker's twine.

Papers: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Print Poetry DSP stack

Just for You - Need for Speed - The Friday Mashup #60

"Boys will be boys" - the theme with the Friday Mashup this week here.  And when I think of boys I think of racing cars.
I live quite close to 2 major racing tracks, so car racing is part of the culture here.  So this card might just be appropriate for a special man from this area.

The car was stamped several times backwards from the main image to give the car the illusion of motion and speed.  It was colored with markers and an aqua painter.

 

Stamps:Need for Speed, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks: Black Stazon, SU markers, Not Quite Navy
Papers: Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake, Well worn Designer Series Paper, Whisper White, Cajun Craze
Accessories: Harlequin texturz plate, Early Espresso/white baker's twine, Aquapainter, dimensionals

One, Two, Three, and the Number Is......

It's Friday, and time for another mini blog hop with Sketch Frenzy Friday.  Today I have a guessing game for you.
But before we get into that, let's look at today's sketch, which is by Tammy Fife:

Okay, now my card.  Look it over carefully, and tell me what the number theme is!!

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, Just Believe, non SU Alphabet stamp
Inks: More Mustard, Basic Gray, Baja Breeze, Marina Mist
Papers: Marina Mist, More Mustard, Whisper White, Basic Gray
Accessories: Square lattice embossing folder, Butterfly punch, Modern Word Label punch, 1" circle punch, Word Window Punch, rhinestones, 1 1/4" Square punch, 1 3/8" square punch, 1/8" Marina Mist Taffeta ribbon, glue dots, dimensionals

Now you create something using the sketch.  It does not have to be theme related - that was just for my card, and to see how well you could guess.
When done, upload your creation to the Sketch Frenzy Friday home page here
The next stop on the blog hop is Patrice's blog here
Then visit the blogs of the other team members to see how they interpreted the sketch.

So, what was the number I was striving for?  Leave your guess as a comment on my blog.  And since I've taken that nasty word verification away, it should be easier than ever to leave comments.

Have a good day, and I'll see you next week.
