Here is another designer series paper panel that can be used with any sentiment. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Rose Wonder

Paper:
   Boho Blue A-2
   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   CAS

First, I stamped the bible verse on the top-center of the Thoughtful Journey DSP panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Boho Blue card front.

Lastly, I added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

You can easily add any embellishments that you wish: jewels, ribbon, die cuts, etc.. I chose to let the verse speak for itself.

Hangry

Physical and emotional needs cannot be separated. If a physical need is not being met, then an emotional need will suffer. Thus, this sentiment is proven constantly. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   A Little Snarky by Sweet 'n Sassy

Paper:
   Pear Pizzazz A-2
   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Leftover Tag 2-1/2 x 2-1/4
   Various DSP Scraps Adhered to Panel: 1-1/2 x 2-3/4, 3 x 2, 1-1/2 x 5/8, 5/8 x 1/2, 1-1/2 x 3/8, 2-1/8 x 1-1/8, 1-3/8 x 3/4, 3 x 5/8

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Share What You Love Kit (Tag & Clip)
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment on a leftover tag, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I listed the measurements in case you need to create your own tag.

I then cut various scraps of DSP to the sizes listed above. They begin with the top-left and then move across and down. I arranged the pieces on the Basic Black panel as shown above. 

Next, I adhered all of the pieces of DSP in place.

I then adhered the Basic Black panel onto a Pear Pizzazz card front.

Next, I attached the sentiment to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of paper clips to the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Feeling Young

The older we get, the more we want to laugh...sometimes this is the only exercise our stomach muscles get. We also tend to develop quite a few quirks, too many to name. And my point was...Still, I had fun coloring this lady. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Senior Years
   One More Year

Paper:
   Blushing Bride A-2
   Birthday Memories DSP 5 x 3-3/4
   Basic White 2 x 1-5/8 (2), 2" Sq., 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)
   Paper Pumpkin Leftover Tags

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento
   Blushing Bride

Markers:
   Blushing Bride
   Daffodil Delight
   Old Olive
   Pacific Point
   Petal Pink
   Real Red

Technique:
   CAS
   Coloring

Accessories:
   Adhesive

First, I stamped and colored the image on the 2" Basic White Square. I've listed the markers that I used, but you can choose your favorites. FYI: I always choose colors from the DSP to help bring everything together.

I then took two leftover paper pumpkin tags and stamped the two sentiments. 

Next, using Blushing Bride ink, I stamped the other two Basic White pieces with bursts of color.

I then added the two sentiments, diagonally, and trimmed off any excess. I thought this added a bit of interest to the card.

Next, I adhered the Birthday Memories DSP panel to the center of the Blushing Bride card front.

I then adhered the three squares in the center of the card front as shown above.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Bravo Roses

This specialty paper is already heat embossed in white. All I have to do is add whatever color I wish and then wipe away the excess. I think it looks great. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Stippled Roses

Paper:
   Handsome Hunter A-2
   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-1/2 x 3-1/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

First, I added color to the emboss-resist specialty paper, using Handsome Hunter re-inker and a watercolor brush.

I then set it aside to dry. Once it was dry, I wiped it clean with a paper towel. The ink on the embossed images will lift right up, leaving the background colored.

Next, I attached it to a Basic White matte and then adhered it to a Handsome Hunter card front.

I then stamped the stippled roses on the small Basic White piece, using Bravo Burgundy ink.

Next, I adhered it to a Bravo Burgundy matte and attached it to the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a couple of Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the roses and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Birthday Picture

Card front panels are sometimes included in a designer series paper pack. This one was perfect for this sentiment. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Picture Perfect Birthday

Paper:
   Rococo Rose A-2
   Pressed Petals DSP 5-1/2 x 4-1/4
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Basic Rhinestone Jewels
   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment in the center of the Pressed Petals DSP wreath, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered the DSP panel to a Rococo Rose card front. I chose to cover the entire card front with the DSP panel, but if you would like a Rococo Rose frame around the panel, you can cut it down to 5-1/4 x 4. In order to keep the wreath in the center, cut 1/8 off from each side.

Next, I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the center of the flowers.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Embellishment Passion

I decided to spotlight some of my embellishments on my card front. Too much? What do you think? 




Stamps:
   Special Someone

Paper:
   Orchid Opulence A-2, 1-1/4" Circle
   Elegant Eggplant 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-1/4" Circle (2)
   Bashful Blue 1-1/4" Circle
   Real Red 1-1/4" Circle
   So Saffron 1-1/4" Circle
   Petal Passion DSP 5-1/4 x 4
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Elegant Eggplant

Technique:
   CAS
   Punching

Accessories:
   1-1/4" Circle Punch
   Gold Holly Leaves
   Glitter Star Ornaments
   Glue Dots
   Dimensionals
   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Petal Passion DSP panel onto an Elegant Eggplant matte and then onto the Orchid Opulence card front.

I then punched 1-1/4" circles from scraps of Elegant Eggplant, Orchid Opulence, Bashful Blue, Real Red, and So Saffron. Note that there are two circles of Elegant Eggplant.

Next, I stamped a flower on the So Saffron circle, using Elegant Eggplant. I found an embellishment to go on each circle. I made sure the colors were the same as the circles or I used a neutral color. Each circle used a different embellishment. You can use whatever you have on hand. 

I then adhered each circle to the card front, and then added the embellishment I had chosen for it. I used glue dots or adhesive, depending on what was needed. Only the Glitter Star Ornament was attached with dimensionals. 

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Wildly Thank You

You can never have too many "Thank You" cards in your stash. Remember, sending a handmade card is always more impactful than a text message. There are definitely some traditions that should not be overtaken by technology. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Wildflower Designs

Paper:
   Wild Wheat A-2, 1 x 2
   Mossy Meadow 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
   Misty Moonlight 5-1/4 x 4
   Basic White 3-1/2 x 2-1/2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Misty Moonlight
   Mossy Meadow
   Wild Wheat

Technique:
   CAS
   Dry Embossing

Accessories:
   Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots
   Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder
   Adhesive

First, I randomly stamped wildflowers on the small panel of Basic White, using all three colors.

I then stamped the sentiment on the small Wild Wheat piece, using Mossy Meadow ink.

Next, I dry embossed the Misty Moonlight panel, using the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder. You can easily use any embossing folder design that you have on hand.

I then adhered the stamped, Basic White panel onto the center of the Misty Moonlight embossed panel.

Next, I added these panels onto a Mossy Meadow matte and finally onto the Wild Wheat card front.

Lastly, I adhered the sentiment, added a Textured Dot and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
