Owl Builder and Natural Composition Specialty DSP

Hello again

The Natural Composition Specialty designer series Paper has a glossy raised pattern on Natural paper, and this Woodgrain paper which is part of this pack is ideal for this Owl card.





The base card is Early Espresso which was stamped with the Woodgrain background stamp using the Whisper White craft pad. I cut the oval in the Natural Composition paper using the Ovals Collection Framelits. I then cut an oval from Early Espresso (using 2 oval framelits) to go around the outside of the cut out oval. Before glueing to the card I used the distressing tool to roughen the inside edges.
The Owl was made using More Mustard for the body, Very Vanilla for the chest and part of the eye. Real Red and Basic Black are also used for the eye. I used the Perfect Polka dots embossing folder for the chest, and 2-way glue to assemble. Dimensionals were used to attach the owl to the card.
The leaves from the French Foliage stamp set were stamped using the "rock and roll" method. To do this, ink the stamp with the lighter colour of ink that you want to use- I used More Mustard. Then taking the darker colour, - I used Early Espresso and Cajun Craze - roll the edges of the stamp onto the ink pad then stamp onto the card. After cutting out the leaves I shaped them using the scoring tool. The sentiment is from the stamp set Bring on the Cake, stamped with More Mustard ink, cut with an oval framelit, sponged the edges with Early Espresso and Dimensionals used to attach to the card.

Field Flowers

Hi

I went to a friends card class yesterday, and this is one of the cards we made. You can check out her beautiful creations at www.lynwebb.stampinup.net



The card stock used for this card are Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals and Very Vanilla. The words and splatters from French Foliage were used on the background, using Crumb Cake ink, as well as on the Very Vanilla inside the frame. this frame was embossed using the Designer Frames folder and cut by hand. I sponged all the edges with Crumb Cake ink.
The flowers and leaves are from the stamp set Field Flowers. The flowers are stamped with Early Espresso and Primrose Petals. I then used the blender pen to add some extra colour to the flowers. Always Artichoke was the ink used for the leaves, then sponged with crumb cake. To make the Always Artichoke more subtle, I stamped onto scrap paper first then onto the card.
I punched the scalloped edge with the Scallop Edge Border punch, then taped the Crumb Cake Seam Binding before attaching to the card.
The Modern Label punch was used for the top embellishment with a Antique brad, with another brad on the bow.
The leaves and stalks were hand cut then glued to the card. The frame, flowers and embellishments were attached with Dimensionals.

Flowering Flourishes

Hi
I have been enjoying using the colour coach once again to choose the colours for today's card. One of the colour combinations suggested for Pacific Point included Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzleberry, so here it is.



These lovely bright colours look great together. I stamped the Flowering Flourish with versa mark and embossed with White embossing powder.
The scalloped edges were punched with the Scallop Trim border and corner punches. The ribbons are the 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain which fitted nicely through the scallops to attach to the back of the card stock. The smallest of the Daydream Medallions stamp and co- ordinating Floral Frames Framelits were used for the embellishment with the button. The button is from the Sycamore Street designer buttons from Saleabration and attached with a Glue dot. The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set and punched with the Modern Label punch and sponged the edges with Rich Razzleberry ink.

Countryside Happy Birthday

Hello
The Countryside stamp set is one that I love to use for a masculine card.



I combined Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Gumball Green for this card. The truck and sentiment were both stamped with versa mark and using Basic Black embossing powder which gives a glossy, raised finish. Gumball green was used for the apples. The Gumball Green base card was embossed with the Big Shot and Chevron Folder.
The ovals are from the Ovals Collection Framelits and the sentiment was cut with Hearts a Flutter Framelits. The Happy Birthday is from the stamp set Made for You. Basic Glimmer Brads were added to the tag and ovals. The tag was attached with Dimensionals.

Postage Stamp punch

Hi

I chose Daffodil Delight from the Designer Series Paper Stack for today's card, then consulting the colour coach I chose Cherry Cobbler from the Creative Combination suggestions. They do look great together and probably wouldn't have selected these 2 colours myself for a card.


I punched Whisper White and Cherry Cobbler with the Postage Stamp punch. I embossed the Whisper white with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the Cherry Cobbler with the Argyle folder. The flowers are from the Language of Friendship and punched with Boho Blossoms. The butterflies are from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and punched with the Bitty Butterfly. Pearls were added to the flower centres and butterfly bodies. Happy Birthday is from Fabulous Phrases and punched with Word Window. Because this punch is larger than what I wanted for these words, after punching the first time, I then put it in the punch again to cut a second time to get the correct size as shown below.




I cut a piece of daffodil delight for the bottom of the card using the Finishing Touches Edgelits and taped to the back of the DSP before attaching to the card. The ribbon is Daffodil Delight Stitched Grosgrain.
The butterflies, flowers and sentiment were all attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Trifold card

Hello

I was asked to make a card for a 70th birthday, and I often make this tri-fold card for special occasions.




I have used a retired DSP and retired Poppy Parade card stock but I love this DSP so decided to use it (and red is her favorite colour.)

To make the card, take a full A4 piece of card. I used Shimmery White. On the longer side score at 9.9cm each end. Also score at 5cm from each end but only score down to 5cm from the top and from 5cm from the bottom. Now cut along the long side between these score lines.
Fold as shown below.



I cut the DSP slightly smaller than each of the surfaces and attached them. At the top and bottom of the 3 pieces of Shimmery White I added the Scallop Border punched from Poppy Parade card. The Butterflies and flowers were stamped with versamark and Poppy Parade ink, then sprinkled with Iridescent Ice embossing powder and set with the Heat tool, to give a lovely glitter. The butterflies inside the card are stamped the same except onto vellum card. All butterflies were punched with Elegant Butterfly punch.
The stamp set for The Happy Birthday is Curly Cute. I stamped this with versa mark and poppy parade ink, Then used clear embossing powder and set with the heat tool. I added pearls to the butterflies and flower centres.
