In My Prayers

I think the bits of gold on the background places this card into the elegant category. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Hope & Prayer

Paper:

   Soft Succulent A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Texture Chic DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Pool Party - Negative from Framelit

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Framed Florets Dies (Negative Oval)

   Pool Party 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dot

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the Texture Chic DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Soft Succulent card front.

I then took the leftover Pool Party negative from a Framed Floret Die cut and stamped it, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. If you don't have a negative piece to use, then create one and save the frame for another project, or use it on this one.

Next, I attached the oval to the center of the card front, using dimensionals.

I then tied some ribbon into a bow and attached it to the bottom of the oval, using a glue dot.

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

Textured Thanks

This Designer Series Paper (DSP) makes the card. The bits of gold make you want to reach out and touch it. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Texture Chic DSP 5-1/4 x 4

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

   Soft Succulent 3-1/2 x 2-1/2

   Stitched Shapes Framelits

   Cross of Hope Framelits

   Gingham Gala Sequins

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Natural Finish Ribbon

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I die cut the Soft Succulent Oval and the Basic White circle, using the Stitched Shaped Framelits.

I then die cut the Soft Suede cross, using the Cross of Hope Framelits.

I stamped the sentiment on the Basic White stitched circle, and adhered the Natural Finish Ribbon around the DSP panel.

Next, I adhered the DSP panel onto the Basic Black matte, and then onto the Pool Party card front.

I adhered the cross onto the Soft Succulent oval and added it to the card front, using liquid adhesive.

I then layered the sentiment onto the bottom of the oval with a few dimensionals.

I grabbed some punched gold foil flowers from my stash and added a sequin to the center of them. These were added, using glue dots.

*Note, when I have small amounts of metallic paper left-over, I punch small shapes to use whenever I need them. The flowers were perfect for this card.

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

Manly Baptism

Check out this oval on its side. I like it. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Blessed by God

Paper:

   Soft Succulent A-2, 3 x 2-1/4 Oval

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Texture Chic DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Gold Paper Scrap

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Cross of Hope Framelits

   Framed Florets Dies

   Black Rhinestone Jewels

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I grabbed a Soft Succulent oval that I had in my stash of left-overs. It was left-over from a Framed Florets Die that I had cut for another card. This is the center of the frame. 

I then stamped the sentiment on the left side of the oval, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I added a gold cross on the right of the sentiment. The cross was die cut, using the Cross of Hope Framelits. When I have small pieces of Metallic paper, I die cut or punch basic images like crosses, hearts, stars, and flowers. I keep them to use when I need a small embellishment. The cross was perfect in this case.

FYI: When the metallic piece is too small, I punch small circles to use in shaker cards. I know, I don't like to throw anything away...but I do find use for all my scraps!

Next, I adhered the DSP panel onto the Basic Black matte, and then onto the Soft Succulent card base.

I attached the oval, using dimensionals, in the center of the card.

Lastly, I added three Black Rhinestone Jewels and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Foiled Cross

The gold highlights on this Designer Series Paper (DSP) offered the perfect background for my golden cross. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Texture Chic DSP 5-1/4 x 4

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

   Soft Succulent 3-1/2 x 2-1/2

Accessories:

   Stitched Shapes Framelits

   Cross of Hope Framelits

   Gingham Gala Sequins

   Basic Pearl Jewels

   Natural Finish Ribbon

   Glue Dots

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I cut my DSP panel and wrapped 6" of the Natural Finish Ribbon around the lower third of the panel. I used Stampin' Seal+ to adhere it to the DSP.

I then adhered this panel onto the Basic Black matte and then onto the Pool Party card front.

I stamped a small scrap of Basic White with my sentiment, using Teeny Tiny Wishes. You can change the sentiment to suit your needs.

Next, I die cut a stitched oval from the Soft Succulent paper, and a white stitched circle, using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I did make sure the sentiment was centered on the circle die cut.

I also die cut a gold cross, using the Cross of Hope Framelits. You can punch out small shapes from the left-over gold pieces. I had a few gold flower shapes in my stash that had been punched from previous scraps of gold.

I then adhered the gold cross to the center of the Soft Succulent oval and attached it to the card front.

Next, I added the sentiment, using dimensionals and adhered the gold flowers to the front of the card, using glue dots. 

Lastly, I adhered a sequin to the center of each gold flower, a few pearls, and the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

His Love

As you savor that chocolate bunny, think of the reason you are celebrating Easter. Here is a clean and simple card to remind you of the true reason to celebrate. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Rejoice in Him

Paper:

   Pool Party A-2

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

   Texture Chic DSP 3/4 x 4 (2)

   Soft Succulent 2-1/2 x 1-1/2 

Ink:

   Pool Party

   Evening Evergreen

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Brushing/Sponging

Accessories:

   Brushes/Sponges

   Adhesive

   Dimensionals

   Paper Snips

First, I stamped the image of Jesus in the center of a Basic White panel, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then stamped the leaves, using Evening Evergreen ink.

Next, I brushed some Pool Party ink around the Jesus image, leaving white surrounding him. You can sponge the ink on with a sponge, if you do not have a brush. 

I then adhered a strip of Texture Chic DSP to the top and the bottom of the Basic White panel.

This was then adhered to the 5-3/8 x 4-1/8 Basic White matte, and then onto the Pool Party card front.

Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Soft Succulent card-stock, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Using my paper snips, I cut around the sentiment to get rid of any straight edge and to add a bit of interest to it. 

Lastly, I adhered the sentiment with dimensionals and added the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Rejoice in Him

While bunnies are cute and chocolate is delicious, let's not forget the true meaning of Easter. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Rejoice in Him

Paper:

   Soft Suede A-2

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

   Texture Chic DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Dry Embossing

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Framed Florets Dies

   Black Embossing Powder

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

   Stampin' Seal

First, I stamped my image on the 1-1/2 x 3-3/4 inch Basic White panel. I also stamped the dove on a small scrap of Basic White. I used Tuxedo Black Memento ink for both of these.

I then fussy cut the dove and put it aside. I then ran the White image through the die cutting machine, using the Framed Florets Dies.

Next, I took the Pool Party panel and ran it through the die cutting/embossing machine as well. I made sure the Basic White fit nicely inside the Pool Party frame.

I then took the scrap of Soft Succulent and stamped the sentiment, using VersaMark. I applied Black embossing powder and heat set it, using my heating tool. I then playfully cut around it. You can easily use a punch or die cut as well.

Finally, I assembled the card. I adhered the DSP panel to a Basic White matte and then onto the Soft Suede card front.

I laid out the sentiment, image, and dove on the front panel. I then attached the image and embossed frame using liquid adhesive. The dove and sentiment were added with dimensionals.

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