A Spring Flower for SUO Challenges #241

This week the theme at SUO Challenges is "Flowers".  I love flowers, any flower, paper, or real.  I love them all.

And I particularly like the flower for this card, the crocus. This bulb flower sticks its head above the ground while the snow is still on the ground. This is a welcome sight after a long Canadian winter.

Although the sentiment on this card is an Easter one, it could be a birthday, anniversary or even a sympathy card.




This one layer card in Whisper White card stock, is made elegant by the stitched embossed rectangular frame in the center.  This frame was made using the Stitched Rectangle Die using the Stampin' Up embossing mat and the Big Shot.


The flower was stamped inside this frame and coloured with light and dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends.  The leaves and stems were coloured with a Granny Apple Green marker.   A blue wash  around the flowers made them stand out a bit more.


Then another embossed frame, centered in the rectangle frame, was made around the flower using the new Stitched So Sweetly Die and the Embossing mats.

The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes is punched with the Classic Label punch, matted with Daffodil Delight ,and added at an angle just below the flowers.

A bow, made with some 3/8" Whisper White crumpled seam binding coloured with a Mango Melody Stampin' Blend was added to the stems just below the flowers

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Easter Blessings, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks:  Black Memento, Mango Melody (Light and Dark) Stampin' Blends, Granny Apply Green Blend, Balmy Blue ink
Papers:  Whisper White
Accessories:  3/8" Whisper White crumpled seam binding, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Die, Embossing Mats, Big Shot, Classic Label Punch.

Leftover to Marvelous

My mother was the guru of making wonderful meals from left overs. I have never been able to emulate her with meals.  I am much better with paper crafting.

Today I thought I would make a wonderful card from 'leftovers' from yesterday's Lily birthday card here

Th

The Lily, lily pads and leaves were left over from yesterday's card  I adhered them to a die cut Whisper White rectangle which was  placed inside another die cut piece that has a rectangular frame embossed in it. Inside that was another embossed frame. All were embossed with the Sweetly Stitched Dies and the embossing mats. 
I coloured the white 3/8" Seam Binding with the Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Blend, and when it was dry, it was made into a bow and added to bottom edge of the lily.
The punched sentiment is added emerging between the leaves of the flowers.




The Gorgeous Grape card base is layered with Whisper White. The framed Highland Heather  layer is added to the card front at an angle, as is the die cut art piece.

Noble Peacock rhinestones finish the card.


Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Lovely Lily, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks:  Versa Mark, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape Stampin' Blend (colour ribbon)
Papers:  Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Watercolour paper
Accessories: 3/8" Whisper White crinkled seam binding (coloured), Noble Peacock rhinestones, Stitched So Sweetly dies, Embossing mats, Lovely Lily dies, Dimensionals, White embossing powder, Classic Label punch

Reverse Eclipse Technique in an Embossed Frame

A major winter storm is blasting southern Ontario.  It is expected to dump a significant amount of snow accompanied by high winds and sub zero temperatures.  BRRRRR! It's not as bad as in Newfoundland where 70 cm of snow was dumped yesterday.

So what do Canadians do with weather forecasts like that?  Why craft of course!  And think of Spring!  And combine thinking of spring and crafting. And nothing speaks of Spring like the crocus, a bulb flower which is one of the first to emerge from the snowy ground- usually in March.


For this card I decided to do something different.  Not only did I do the reverse Eclipse technique, I also used the Embossing mats and the largest of the rectangle  Stitched So Sweetly Die to create an embossed frame around the image.

The card base for this card is Thick Whisper White which is layered with some Highland Heather DSP from the Subtles DSP stack.

The crocus from the stamp set "Easter Promise" is stamped in the middle of the layering piece of Whisper White card stock and coloured with Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. To make the flowers pop I coloured around them with a Petal Pink Stampin' blend. This coloured image was die cut with one of the window like shapes of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and set aside.



The largest of the rectangle dies was centered around the die cut opening on the Whisper White piece and embossed using the Stampin' Up embossing mats. Using strips of foam adhesive tape, this Whisper White piece was then adhered to the card front on top of the DSP.  The die cut was then placed into the die cut opening and  adhered to the DSP of the card front. 






The sentiment, from Teeny Tiny Wishes , was punched with the Classical Label punch, layered with Highland Heather card stock and added to the card front just under the flower.  A bow made with the retired Highland Heather Organza ribbon was adhered below the die cut.  Some rhinestones from the Noble Peacock collection finished the card.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Easter Promise, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks:  Black Memento, Highland Heather Light and dark,Granny Apple Green light and dark, Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends as well as Petal Pink.
Papers:  Thick White card stock, Whisper White, Subtles DSP, Highland Heather card stock
Accessories:  Stitched  So Sweetly Dies, Embossing Mats, Noble Peacock rhinestones, Foam adhesive strips, Classic Label Punch, 3/8" Highland Heather organza ribbon (retired), dimensionals

Thinking of You - FabFriday #151

Masculine Cards are traditionally difficult to make, so for the sketch challenge with Fab Friday #501
I used several stamps to make  this  "Thinking of You" card.


The card base is Soft Suede which I embossed using the Rooted in Nature framelits (the leaves) and the Big Shot Embossing Mats.  The Whisper White art piece matted with Crumb cake card stock was adhered to this card front using dimensionals.

The art piece was created using the following:
  • Water - Bermuda Bay and Waterfront stamp set
  • Shore rocks - Soft Suede and Waterfront stamp set
  • Two trees - Rooted in Nature and Mossy Meadow ink
  • Sun - Waterfront Stamp set and Crushed Curry ink.

At the bottom of the Whisper White art piece I added 2 pieces of  3/8" Shimmer basic gray ribbon, with some 1/16" braided twine tied in a bow at the left edge.

The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede ink using Teeny Tiny wishes, & punched with the Classic Label punch.  Before adhering it to the art piece above the ribbons I sponged the edges with the same colored ink.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Waterfront, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Rooted in Nature
Inks:  Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry
Papers:  Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Accessories:  Rooted in Nature framelits, Big Shot Embossing mats, Classic Label Punch, 3/8" shimmer Basic Gray ribbon, Braided Twine

Rooted in Nature - Thinking of You

The Rooted in Nature stamp set and coordinating framelits is the most versatile stamp set I have worked with so far since the Annual catalogue was launched the beginning of June.  I think I have made a card for each stamp in the set, and today is no different.

Today I stamped the individual leaf with Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White card stock die cut with the stitched square framelits.  After mounting them with Mossy Meadow cardstock they were adhered to a Whisper White square, also matted with Mossy Meadow.  This art piece will be mounted onto the card front using dimensionals.



The card front is Mossy Meadow, layered with Crumb cake card stock embossed with the Basket Weave embossing folder.

On the left I stamped a Whisper White panel randomly with pine trees and branches and layered it with Mossy Meadow card stock, then wrapped  some Crumb Cake twine around it tying it in a bow near the top before adhering it to the card front.



The art piece was added to the card front overlapping this stamped panel.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes punched with the Classic Label punch mounted on a Mossy Meadow small oval punch.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Rooted in Nature, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks:  Mossy Meadow
Papers:  Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake
Accessories:  Square stitched framelits, thick Crumb Cake twine, Basket Weave embossing folder, dimensionals.

Happy Retirement - Try Stampin' on Tuesday or Not #337

This week the theme associated with the sketch is "special celebration"  Having retired myself, the best celebration I can think of next to birthdays, and anniversaries, is retirement.

This week I discovered how to press flowers and leaves using the Big Shot.  I incorporated one of these background pieces into this card.



I used the Banner's framelit to die cut the pressed flower background and built the rest of the card around it.

Below is what the background looked like before I removed the pressed Geranium florets.  When the florets were removed, you could see where the "juice" from each flower was pressed right into the watercolor paper.



A small square of Sweet Sugarplum card stock with its corners rounded was placed on the right half of this banner.  The sentiment was layered on this and then  a medium Blushing Bride glimmer star was added to the lower left, and a smaller star at the lower right edge.

A Whisper White card stock layering the card front was embossed with the Starburst embossing folder prior to adhering it to the Berry Burst card base.


Before adhering this to a Berry Burst rectangle at the top of the card front, I adhered some Blushing Bride glimmer ribbon at an angle across this Berry Burst piece. The banner art piece was adhered over the ribbon with dimensionals.  A ribbon bow at the left side completed the art piece.

To complete the card I  added glimmer.  I placed three glimmer enamel dots above the sentiment, and one to the center of each of the two stars.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks:  Black Memento
Papers:  Berry Burst, Whisper White, Water color Paper, Sweet Sugarplum, Blushing Bride Glimmer paper
Accessories:  Star burst embossing folder, 3/8" Blushing Bride glimmer ribbon, Glitter enamel dots, Medium star punch, Itty Bitty star punch, Corner rounder punch, Word Label Punch, Modern Word Label Punch, Banners Framelits

Floral Delight - Try Stampin on Tuesday or Not #321

While I am enjoying the spring weather, I am missing flowers growing in my garden.  It has been too cool for the plants to emerge from the ground.

Making paper flowers is a good substitute for working with real plants and encourages the use of my creative side.

For the sketch challenge with Try Stampin on Tuesday or Not this week, I challenged myself to make some 3D flowers for this sketch - not so 3D that the card wouldn't fit into an envelope or the card wouldn't  fit through that dreaded "slot" at the post office.


I must admit I selected the DSP first and colored the flowers to coordinate with that. The Blooms & Bliss DSP is just beautiful and am sad to see it retire by June. I used a 3 3/4 by 5 piece of the DSP which was adhered to a 4 by 5 1/4" Whisper White cardstock layer.

The art piece is a 3 by 3 3/4" piece of Whisper White embossed with the decorative dots embossing folder.  This I matted with Sahara Sand card stock before adhering it to the card front.

Instead of placing circles on the art panel, I made 2 different styles of paper flowers.

The two smaller flowers were made by punching 2 whisper White daisies, coloring them with an Island Indigo marker and then spritzed each flower lightly to blend the colors.  When the flowers were dry enough I shaped both flowers and adhered them together alternating the petals.  Two small stamens were die cut using the Botanical Builder framelits, shaped using a stylus, and added to the center of each flower. Some liquid pearls in the center and the flower itself is complete.  I punched two leaves for each flower and glued them to the flower bottom.

For the flower in the center I used the Pansy punch, again punching 2 flowers, coloring and spritzing them, and when partially dry shaped the petals by literally squeezing each petal between thumb and forefinger. After adhering them together alternating petals, two black stamens (die cut using the Botanical builder framelit) were inserted into the center. Two leaves were glued to the underside.

All three flowers were spritzed with a glimmer spray and then adhered to the art panel using tombo glue. A close up of the flowers is below.


Supplies Used:
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks: Island Indigo, Old Olive
Papers: Island Indigo, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Blooms & Bliss DSP, Old Olive, Mint Macaron, Basic Black
Accessories: Decorative Dots embossing folder, Botanical Builder framelits, Daisy punch, Pansy Punch, Liquid Pearls (non SU), flower forming tools, spritzer (with water)

Now it's your turn to create something using this sketch, then upload it to the Try Stampin' on Tuesday or Not blog site or their Facebook page
The challenge runs for 2 weeks.
Looking forward to seeing your work.

Two versions of the Sending Love DSP was used on the panels on the rest of the card.  Both are matted with Basic Black cardstock tying the card elements together.
The taller one has a 1/4" real red ribbon tied around it.
The focal point (art piece) is DSP with a heart pattern.  In the middle is a Whisper White punched heart embossed with the Decorative dots embossing folder.
The sentiment punched with the  Classic label punch is adhered to the top of the art piece.  Silver enamel hearts embellishments are placed on both sides of this, with a third embellishment placed randomly. The art piece is adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Teeny Tiny wishes
Inks: Black Memento
Papers: Basic Black, Whisper White, Real Red, Sending Love DSP

Petite Christmas Notes

Today I created something a little different.  I made two collections of Petite Christmas notes.  During my various craft shows I noticed people coming to my booth were drawn to my business card which lookes like a small card.  So, drawing on that, I decided to design some petite notes and put them in a hand made box.

Two stamp sets were used:  Seasonal Bells and Hang Your Stockings.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Each card is 3 3/8 by 4 1/2" scored at 2 1/4" to make a 2 1/4 by 3 3/8" petite note card

The base for each note card is Shimmery White cardstock, layered with 3 3/4 by 2 1/8" of Presents
and Pinecones DSP.  The art piece is 2 3/4 by 1 5/8"

Each note card set consists of 4 Petite note cards with a hand made envelope for each card.  They are placed in a hand made box which was made using the Thick Whisper White card stock.

Two petite note cards were made of this design.

The art piece was stamped randomly first with the snowflake stamp from Hang Your Stocking, in Mint Macaron ink, followed by the flower in Cherry Cobbler ink.

A 1 3/4" gold foil circle was adhered to this piece, and some 3/8" Delightful Dijon ribbon near the bottom.

On this background were placed two bells from the Seasonal Bells stamp set.

These bells were stamped in Delightful Dijon ink, and punched out using the Bell Punch. A gold glimmer star was attached to the center of each bell.  Both bells are joined to each other at an angle, and a bow made with the 3/8" Delightful Dijon ribbon was adhered at the top.

The sentiment, from Teeny Tiny wishes was stamped in Cherry Cobbler was punched out using the Word Label punch and attached to the top of the note front at an angle.

Two other note cards were made of this design.  This time the bells are stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink, a dazzling diamond snowflake adhered to the bell center, and a bow made with a b bow made using Cherry Cobbler ribbon adhered to the top.

Two stockings were stamped with Delightful Dijon ink and die cut using the Christmas Stockings Thinlet Die. Some ivy was also die cut as well as the berries.  On this note I use 3/8" silver glitter ribbon.

Two others were made using stockings stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Hang Your Stockings, Seasonal Bells, Teeny Tiny wishes
Inks: Cherry Cobbler , Garden Green, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron

Paper Purse and a set of 4 cards

This is the project for the class in 2 weeks.
The purse is made from one 12 by 12" piece of DSP.  The four cards are fairly simple, and rather than put sentiments on the front, 4 different sentiments (4 of each) were stamped on Whisper White, punched with the Word Window Punch and included in the purse in a plastic bag.


Purse:
The body of the purse is made using one 12 by 12" DSP (English Garden).  I used the design created by Connie and Mary.


  • Cut one piece of DSP to 7 x 11, with 11″ at top of Simply Score Tool, score at 4-1/2 & 6-1/2.  Cut two pieces of DSP to 2 x 6, score at 3/4 and 5-3/8 on each.
  • With 7″ at top of large piece and using a pencil, make a tick mark at 1-1/4 & 5-3/4 on both ends.  Score from the tick mark to the first score line, repeat on other side to form a triangle as shown.  Fold on all score lines
  • Adhere the 3/4″ tab on the side pieces to the base as shown.
     


  • Fold in angled sides.  Adhere sides pieces to tabs along the scored seams.  Fold the top tab over inside the purse to help hold the sides in place.
  •  
 I used retired brads to attach the deco label and to strengthen the handles.

  • Decorate and embellish as desired.  I used the Deco Label Framelit for the purse “latch”.  The handle is 1 x 11 Old Olive, the trim is 1/2 x 11 Old Olive (needed two pieces).

I made a large flower using the retired Fun Flower die; a smaller rose using the Flower Bunch Punch, and a rolled rose using the Spiral Flower die.

Cards:




Stamp: Garden to Bloom
Inks: Black Memento, Blushing Bride, Rose Red, Hello Honey, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow, Daffodil Delight
Papers: English Garden DSP, Rose Red, Whisper White,
Accessories: 1/4" Melon Mambo cotton ribbon, Dazzling details applied to bee's wings with a blender pen.
