I'm Here

Choose any color from the designer series paper that you would like to highlight and add it to the embossing folder. Then emboss your Basic White panel and see it come alive. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Love & Strength

Paper:
   Petunia Pop A-2
   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)
   Thoughtful Journey 6x6 DSP 3-1/4 x 5-3/16
   Gold Foil Scrap

Ink:
   Mossy Meadow
   Peach Pie

Technique:
   Dry Embossing With Ink
   Die Cutting

Accessories:
   Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder
   Cross of Hope Framelits
   Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots
   Adhesive

First, I dry embossed a Basic White panel with Peach Pie ink:

   I added Peach Pie ink to the top panel of the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder. 
   I rubbed the ink pad gently across the top panel of the embossing folder. 
   Note: The top panel is the one with the SU Logo on the outside. 
   Carefully, place the Basic White panel on the inside of the folder without ink on it and close the folder. 
   Emboss the panel. 
   Remove the panel and clean the folder. 

I then added the embossed panel onto a Basic Black matte and then adhered it to the Petunia Pop card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on the top of the Thoughtful Journey DSP panel, using Mossy Meadow ink.

I then adhered the panel onto the center of the card front.

Next, I die cut and adhered a gold cross, using the Cross of Hope Dies, gold foil, and a bit of adhesive.

Lastly, I added a couple of Brushed Metallic Dots on each side of the sentiment and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Delightful Birthday Wreath

These brads fit perfectly in the center of these daisies. What do you think? 




Stamps:

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

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:
   Basic Black
   Merry Merlot

Technique:
   CAS

   Adhesive

First, I cut the card front panel from the 12 x 12 DSP panel.

I then adhered the panel onto the Pear Pizzazz card front.

Next, I added a yellow brad to the center of each daisy. You can add a panel (Pear Pizzazz or Basic White) to the back of the card front. This will hide the stems from the brads. I left mine alone.

 Although Stampin' Up! is known for its coordination of products and suite collections, remember that each item is sold individually. I chose to buy only the designer series paper from the Everyday Skies Suite Collection. I paired it with the Faith Collection stamp set. Thoughts?
