HAPPY STAMPING!

Golden Anniversary

Anniversaries should be celebrated. In today's fast-paced world, where technology provides us information instantaneously, few take the time to create, nourish, and grow a relationship with someone face-to-face in real time. So, take the time to celebrate all milestones. Golden anniversaries are truly rare. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Itty Bitty Greetings

Paper:

   Garden Green A-2, Scraps

   Irresistibly Yours DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), Scrap

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   So Saffron

Technique:

   Sponging

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Petals & More Thinlits

   Classic Label Punch

   Sponge

   Paper Towel

   Share What You Love Artisan Pearls

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

First, I sponged So Saffron ink on the Irresistibly Yours DSP panel and then wiped it with a paper towel. This allows the embossed leaves to shine through, since they resist the ink. 

I then took a scrap of Garden Green cardstock and die cut the leaves, using the Petals & More Thinlits.

Next, I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White and punched it, using the Classic Labels Punch.

I then adhered the sponged DSP panel onto the Garden Green card front.

I attached the Garden Green leaves, using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Next, I added the sentiment with a couple of dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a pearl, and adhered a Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

Hey Gorgeous

Sometimes things do not turn out as we intended. Can you even see her? What do you think? Trash? Even the greats have incomplete works. The problem is that I did finish mine...I just looked and somehow, sometime, somewhere, someone bought it. It is gone! It must be true: One person's trash is another man's treasure. Would you have bought it?

Pearly Slider

Don't forget to use those discontinued items sitting on your shelves. If you are like me, your shelves, stacks, or boxes of discontinued or retired items is much LARGER than the current, available while supplies last, hot trendy items. So, although I am a current Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I like to use everything in my craft room, including the discontinued items. I think there are still some of you out there who have these same items and want some ideas on using them. What do you think of this one?

Paper:

   Groovy Guava A-2

   1/4" Chocolate Chip Ribbon

   Glue Dot

   Fast Fuse

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my sentiment, using Chocolate Chip ink and the Stitched Labels Framelits Dies.

I then adhered the DSP panel onto a Chocolate Chip matte. 

Next, I threaded the Chocolate Chip ribbon through an Antique Brass slider, and wrapped the ribbon around the panel, making sure the slider landed in the center of the panel. I adhered the ribbon to the back of the panel, using Fast Fuse.

I then attached the panel to the Groovy Guava card front.

Next, I added the die cut sentiment to the top part of the card front, using dimensionals.

Lastly, I added a pearl in the center of the slider with a glue dot and adhered a Whisper White panel to the inside of the card. If the slider is moving, you can add a glue dot underneath it to hold it in place.
