HAPPY STAMPING!

Hooray

This card might need some extra padding or postage if you mail it because the rosette is on dimensionals and pops up quite a bit. You might even add a layer of bubble wrap before placing it in an envelope. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Round We Go

Paper:

   Mango Melody A-2

   Dandy Designs DSP 5-1/4 x 4, 5-1/2 x 1-3/4 (2)

   Petal Pink 2" Sq. (2)

   Calypso Coral 2" Sq.

   Mango Melody 2" Sq.

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1-3/4" Circle, 2-1/2" Sq., 3-1/4 x 1 

Ink:

   Calypso Coral

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   1-3/4" Circle Punch

   Round We Go Dies

   Stylish Shapes Framelits

   Iridescent Pastel Gems

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Dandy Designs DSP panel onto the Mango Melody card front. Note that the orientation of the card is horizontal or landscape.

I then die cut all of the pieces, using the Round We Go Dies:

    5-1/2 x 1-3/4 DSP - I cut 2 pieces, folded them like an accordion and adhered them together to form a circle like a bracelet.

   Petal Pink 2" Sq. - I cut 2 rosettes with pointy ends. I used pink DSP so that you could see and notice them in the picture above. I used one for each rosette.

    Calypso Coral & Mango Melody 2" Sq. - Cut each one with a pointy rosette and adhered each one with a pink rosette. I added adhesive to the center circle.

    I used the 1-3/4" Basic White circle as the base for the large rosette. If you gently smash one end of the rosette (not the pointy end) toward the center, you can adhere it to the center of the Basic White circle. You will need to hold it down for a minute or so, to make sure it glues. Use any strong glue, large glue dots...

    2-1/2" Basic White Sq. was used as the base for the smaller rosette.

    3-1/4 x 1 Basic White strip was used for the sentiment. Stamp and then die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Framelits.

Next, I added the rosettes and sentiment to the card front as shown above. The smaller rosette was attached with dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few Iridescent Pastel Gems and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Free Butterfly

I chose to leave the butterfly alone. I decided to allow the Opal Rounds to color it for me. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Beautiful Butterflies

Paper:

   Bubble Bath A-2

   Beautiful Bokeh 6x6 DSP 4 x 3-3/4

   Granny Apple Green 4 x 1-1/2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 1-3/4 x 3, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Granny Apple Green

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder

   2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds

   Brushed Brass Butterflies

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Beautiful Bokeh DSP panel onto the top of the Basic Black matte. Note that the Black matte is slightly larger than the DSP and Granny Apple Green. 

I then dry embossed the Granny Apple Green panel, using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it below the Beautiful Bokeh DSP panel on the Basic Black matte.

Next, I adhered this panel onto the Bubble Bath card front.

I then stamped the sentiment on the top of the 1-3/4 x 3 Basic White piece, using Tuxedo Black ink.

Next, I stamped the butterfly below the sentiment, using Granny Apple Green ink.

I adhered this piece onto the top and slightly to the left portion of the card front. 

Next, I added a few Opal Rounds to the body of the butterfly and a Brushed Brass Butterfly to each side of the sentiment.

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

Dove in Flight

I chose to place a dimensional under the right wing of the dove, giving it some dimension. I also added some clear Wink of Stella, allowing the wings to sparkle. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Cloud Cover A-2

   Basic White 5-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-5/8 x 2-1/4, 3/4 x 1, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Peaceful Garden DSP 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Balmy Blue

   Darling Duckling

   Soft Sky

Technique:

   CAS

   Die Cutting

   Blending (Sponging)

Accessories:

   Blending Brushes

   Hues of Blue Flowers

   Peace on Earth Dies

   Black Marker (Fine)

   Wink of Stella Brush (Clear)

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Peaceful Garden DSP panel onto a Basic White matte, and then onto the Cloud Cover card front.

I then die cut the dove and envelope. The envelope die cut actually cuts two envelopes at one time. So, just save the other one to use on another card, or glue both together and create a dimensional look. 

Next, I used blending brushes to gently blend ink onto the dove. I used Balmy Blue on the tips of the wings and tail. I then added Darling Duckling onto the belly and a bit of the tail. Lastly, I added a bit of Soft Sky to blend the two colors together. 

    NOTE: Always begin blending on a your scratch paper and slowly move on to the image. This way your splotches will be on the throw away scrap and not on your image.

I then took a black permanent marker with a very fine tip and dotted an eye on the dove.

Next, I adhered the envelope on the card front.

I then added a bit of sparkle to the wings and tail of the dove, using my Clear Wink of Stella brush.

Next, I placed a dimensional on the back of the right wing and liquid adhesive on the rest of the dove. I attached it to the card front, as shown above.

Lastly, I added a few Hues of Blue Flowers on the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Beautiful paper does not need much to dress it. Here, I just added a few sequins and words. Thoughts?

Kinda Simple

You can easily change the sentiment on this card to suit your needs. If you need a masculine card, just leave off the sequins. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Simply Said

   Kinda Eclectic

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 1/2 x 2 

   Pretty Peacock 1/2 x 2, 1/4 x 5-1/4

   Cajun Craze 1/4 x 5-1/4

Markers:

   Pretty Peacock

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   1" Circle Punch

   Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the (1/4 x 5-1/4) strips of colored card stock to the card front as shown above. 

I then stamped the sentiment, using Pretty Peacock, on the strip of Basic White. 

Next, I added ink to the sunburst stamp from the Kinda Eclectic stamp set, using the Pretty Peacock marker. This way, I only added ink to each ray as I wanted. I varied the length of each one.

I then breathed on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamped it on the top portion of the card front. I stamped half onto the strips of card stock and half onto the Basic White card front.

Next, I punched a 1" circle from a scrap of Dusty Durango and adhered it onto the center of the sunburst, using dimensionals.

I then punched the ends of the sentiment and the Pretty Peacock strip, using the Circle Punch, giving the strips rounded edges.

Next, I adhered the Basic White sentiment on top and slightly upward of the Pretty Peacock strip. I attached these to the lower part of the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a few sequins to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Glimmery Garden

Here is a fun way to use the leftover strips of designer series paper. I matted each strip to make it sturdier. I also chose to use a strip of glimmer paper between them to add a bit of pizzazz. What do you think?

Simple Birthday

This is a nice layout to use some of your smaller leftover designer series paper pieces. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Simply Said

Paper:

   Petunia Pop A-2

   Basic Black 3-5/8 x 3-3/4

   2024-2026 In-Color Glimmer Specialty Paper 1-3/4 x 3-1/4

   2024-2026 In-Color DSP 1-5/8 x 2-3/4

   Paper Pumpkin Tag (2x1 rounded edges)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Shy Shamrock

Technique:

   CAS

   Punching

Accessories:

   1/8" Handheld Hole Punch

   White Baker's Twine

   Modern Oval Punch

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Basic Black piece to the lower part of the Petunia Pop card front.

I then adhered the glimmer paper at an angle, as shown above.

Next, I added the striped In-Color DSP to the card front, as shown above.

I then took a leftover Paper Pumpkin tag and stamped the sentiment, using Shy Shamrock ink.

I rounded the edges, using the Modern Oval Punch. You have to feed the tag through the bottom of the punch to round each side separately.

Next, I adhered it onto the card front. You can add dimensionals if you wish. I decided to keep it directly onto the other pieces. 

I then punched a small hole on the top of the card front, using the 1/8" Handheld Hole Punch. You want to make sure you are punching through only the top panel.

Next, I fed a leftover piece of Baker's Twine from a Paper Pumpkin kit and tied it off with a bow. 

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