Gorgeous Hydrangea

Adding a bit of the Mercury Glass Designer Acetate along with the Hydrangea Hill DSP really made this card front interesting and beautiful. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Rococo Rose A-2, 2-1/4 x 2-3/4

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Hydrangea Hill DSP 4 x 5-1/4, 3" Scalloped Circle

   Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate 3-3/4 x 2 

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Layering Circles Framelits Dies

   Pastel Pearls

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the large Hydrangea Hill DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Rococo Rose card front.

I then adhered the Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate onto the lower part of the card front, using glue dots. Make sure you remove the film, protecting the acetate from scratching.

Next, I added the Rococo Rose panel slightly above and to the right of the acetate, as shown above.

I then die cut and added the Scalloped circle from the Hydrangea Hill DSP. I was able to die cut the Hydrangea from the DSP, flip the paper, and then add the hydrangea back over the die cut portion. This does not always work, but it did in this case. 

Lastly, I added some Pastel Pearls to the front of the card and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Irresistibly Crushed

If you like, you can easily add an image or sentiment to the card front. I prefer to leave cards blank and thus determine its purpose by what I choose to write on the inside as I prepare to send it. In this manner, I am always prepared for "All Occasions!" Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Petal Pink A-2

   Hello, Irresistible DSP 4" Sq. (Tear about 1 inch from the right side and move pieces apart, leaving an inch between them on the card front. Left side is 3 x 4 and right side is 1 x 4)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Crushed Curry Baker's Twine 4" (6)

   Stampin' Seal+

   Adhesive

First, I tore the Hello, Irresistible DSP panel about 1" from the right side. 

I then applied some Stampin' Seal+ on the back of each panel to attach the baker's twine. Three pieces on each side. Make sure the pieces are aligned, since the twine will be tied into bows. I added regular adhesive on the rest of the panel.

Next, I carefully adhered the DSP panels to the Petal Pink card front.

I then tied the twine into bows and trimmed the ends.

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

Artistically Mad

Do you like using ephemera packs? I don't mind the ones that are made to coordinate with a specific paper pack or stamp set, but the generic ones are a bit too blah for me. Thoughts? 

Artistically Mad

Artistically Mad Too

   Artistically Inked

Paper:

   Old Olive A-2

   Expressions in Ink DSP 1-1/2 x 5-1/2, 2-3/4 x 5-1/2

First, I adhered the two panels of Expressions in Ink DSP to the Old Olive card front. I placed the greens on the left and the colored flowers on the right. 

I then added the Pale Papaya panel to the center and tilted it to form a "diamond shape."

Next, I stamped and die cut the Magenta Madness flower, using the Artistic Dies. 

I then added the flower to the center of the Pale Papaya panel, using dimensionals.

Next, I added a few elements from the Expressions in Ink Ephemera Pack. I used a different frame on each of the cards above. I also added some gold leaves. I used glue dots and the Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere them.

Special Passion

These vivid colors jump right off the page toward you. You can easily add any sentiment you need on the card front. Thoughts? 

Special Passion

Stamps:

   Special Reason

Paper:

   Pink Passion A-2, 2" Sq. (2)

   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

   Watercolor 4 x 5-1/4

   Real Red 2" Sq.

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Pink Passion

   Real Red

   Summer Sun

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Watercolor

Accessories:

   Gold Faceted Gems

   Aqua Painter

   Stylish Stems Framelits Dies

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Adhesive

First, I added three splotches of Summer Sun on a watercolor panel as shown above. I set the panel aside for a couple of minutes to dry.

I then die cut the flower framelits: 2 from Pink Passion and one from Real Red, using the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies. Note that you have to use the detailed petals as well as the whole flower die to detach it. You also have to use each one separately. They do not fit together through the die cutting machine. You can use washi tape to keep them in place if you like. 

Next, I stamped, two flower shapes, using Pink Passion ink on the left side of the card front. I stamped the Real Red flower shape on the right side of the card.

I then matched the framelits to the stamped colors and adhered them, using a Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Next, I adhered the watercolor panel onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Pink Passion card front.

I then added a gold faceted gem to the center of each flower.

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

Here is another card I made following the steps above, but I added a sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

First, I grabbed a hat pin from the kit and filled it with a small flower, pearls, and beads. I added the stopper at the bottom to keep it all in place. 

I then adhered the larger DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then adhered this onto a Petal Pink card front.

Next, I adhered the smaller DSP panels onto their own Basic Black mattes and adhered them to the card front as shown above.

I then added a white floral to each of the smaller panels on the right side of the card front, using glue dots on each one.

Next, I added the hat pin at a diagonal on the left side of the card front, using glue dots as well.

Lastly, I adhered a half pearl from the Pretties Kit to each flower center and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Countryside Birthday

If you have the patience to score and fold back each piece of designer series paper, this technique is quite interesting. I do like the look of the various blues, and with double-sided designer series paper, the job is even easier. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Translucent Florals

Paper:

   Night of Navy A-2

   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (2)

   Countryside Inn DSP 1-7/8 x 2-1/2 (4)

Ink:

   Night of Navy

Technique:

   CAS

   Scoring

Accessories:

   Balmy Blue 1/4" Organdy Ribbon

   Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I cut the four pieces of Countryside Inn DSP and laid them onto the Basic White panel. 

I then made note of each corner that sits in the center of the card. This corner is then scored and folded back 1" on each side, forming a diagonal opening. I then used a bit of liquid adhesive to adhere each corner. You can easily use a glue dot as well. I placed each piece back onto the Basic White panel to keep them all in order. Each piece has a different corner folded. 

Next, I took each DSP piece and adhered it onto the Basic White panel as shown above.

I then stamped my sentiment in the center of the diamond, using Night of Navy ink.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Night of Navy card front.

I then tied some Balmy Blue 1/4" Organdy Ribbon into a bow and adhered it to the card front, using a glue dot. 

Lastly, I added a few Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

I then randomly added some Bermuda Bay sequins, along with some Bermuda Bay glimmer circles, to opposite ends of the card front, as shown above.

Next, I attached a Bermuda Bay shimmery ribbon around the Iridescent Ice panel, using glue dots at various points to keep the ribbon flowing as if floating.

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