Birthday Fern

Cards are rather easy to create when you have coordinating products and stamps. I used the designer series paper on one side and the stamp set on the other side. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Forever Fern

   A Grand Kid

Paper:

   Pear Pizzazz A-2

   Forever Greenery DSP 2 x 5-1/2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Pretty Peacock

   Shaded Spruce

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Butterfly Gems

   Black Glitter Washi Tape

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment on the right center of the Pear Pizzazz card front, using Pretty Peacock ink.

I then stamped the various images around the sentiment. The floral image was stamped using Pretty Peacock and the leaves were stamped using Shaded Spruce.

Next, I cut and adhered the DSP to the left side of the card front.

I added a strip of Black Glitter washi tape for a bit of glimmer and to hide the seam.

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

Birthday Ruffles

Adding ink to an embossing folder can give you some surprising results. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   A Grand Kid

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

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

Ink:

   Petal Pink

   Pool Party

   Real Red

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

   Sponging

   Die Cutting

   Stitched Rectangles Framelits

   Pool Party Baker's Twine 36"

   Frosted Flower Embellishments

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I added Petal Pink to the inside of the Cascading Ruffles embossing folder. I gently placed my Basic White panel inside, making sure it did not move. I ran it through the dry embossing machine and set it aside. I then rinsed the embossing folder and dried it.

Next, I stamped and die cut my sentiment, using Real Red ink and the Stitched Rectangles Framelits.

I then sponged the edges with a bit of Pool Party.

I took 36 inches of Baker's twine from my stash and wrapped it around the embossed panel. I tied it off with a bow. I fanned out the strands of twine for a bit of a different look.

Next, I adhered the panel to the Pool Party card front and attached the sentiment using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a Frosted Flower embellishment to the sentiment and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Floral Sprinkles

Pigment sprinkles react with water. So, a unique background is created each time they are used. Here is a bright and colorful one. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Granny Apple Green A-2

   Irresistibly Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   None

Pigment Sprinkles:

   Daffodil Delight

   Granny Apple Green

   Melon Mambo

Technique:

   Watercolor

   Emboss Resist

Accessories:

   Clear Faceted Gems

   Pop-Up Stickers

   Adhesive

First, I cut my Irresistibly Floral DSP to size. This paper is embossed with a glossy white finish. It is perfect to use with any watercolor, sponging, or coloring technique.

I sprinkled the colors lightly on the panel and then misted it with water. I dabbed at the places that accumulated excess water or color. 

Note, you do not want to add too many sprinkles or mix too many colors because it will only give you a muddy look. I was rather pleased with my result.

I set the panel aside to dry. I did speed the process up a bit by using a heating tool. You do have to be careful not to burn your panel.

Once the panel dried, I adhered it to the Granny Apple Green card front.

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

First, I cut the DSP to size and adhered it to a Pale Papaya matte.

Peaceful Times

When you have a sheet of 12 x 12 designer paper that is too beautiful to cut, grit your teeth and make at least six cards, using the whole sheet. What do you think of these? 

Stamps:

   Peaceful Moments

Paper:

   Blackberry Bliss A-2 (2)

   Calypso Coral A-2 (2)

   Poppy Parade A-2 (2)

   Peaceful Poppies DSP 5-1/2 x 4 (6), 1 x 3-1/4 (3)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (6) 

Ink:

   Blackberry Bliss

Technique:

   CAS

   Punching

   OSW 12 X 12

Accessories:

   Lovely Labels Pick a Punch

   Peaceful Poppies Sequins

   Dimensionals

   Micro Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, holding the DSP right side up, I cut it at 4" twice, giving me three 12 x 12 strips.

I then cut each panel at 5-1/2, measuring from the green stems upward. This gave me six panels and left me with three small white speckled strips to use for 3 sentiments. I cut these a tiny bit more to make sure they measured 1" in width to fit the punch.

Next, I adhered each of the panels to a card front.

I then stamped a sentiment on each of the three strips and punched the ends, using the Lovely Labels pick a punch. I attached them with dimensionals.

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

Splashy Thank You

Stamp your own background using the Nature's Prints stamp set. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Nature's Prints

Paper:

   Gray Granite A-2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Sun Prints DSP 3/4 x 4

Ink:

   Cajun Craze

   Mossy Meadow

   Pool Party

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   White Twine 36" 

   Rhinestone Basic Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my sentiment, using Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic White panel.

I then stamped the large leaves, using Cajun Craze.

Next, I stamped the ferns with Mossy Meadow.

I then added the smaller images with Cajun Craze.

Next, I used Pool Party to fill in the white with some splashes.

I then adhered the strip of Sun Prints designer series paper across the panel.

I wrapped the white twine around it three times and tied a bow. I spread the threads out on each end.

Next, I adhered the panel to the Gray Granite card front.

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

Note that the strip of DSP and the white twine are both left-over from other projects. The twine is from a Paper Pumpkin kit and the DSP is a left-over strip from the Nature's Thank You card. Always hang on to the bits that are not immediately used. They do come in handy!
