Build a Blossom

Hello again
This card shows lots of dimension and texture, using the honeycomb embossing folder for the background and the vintage wallpaper on the petals. I also used the iridescent ice embossing powder on the top petals to give a bit of glitter to the flower which shows up on the close up.

Dress up dies

Hello
This is the 2nd card we made at the team meeting (thanks Kim Gavarra).



The scallop oval from the Ovals Collection Framelits was used to cut the base card and the largest plain oval was used for the whisper white. Place the die on the red folded card as shown below, before putting through the big shot. Looks great with the dress from the Dress Up Framelits. The white background was embossed with Lacy Brocade Embossing folder, then sponged with shimmer paint.




This is what it looks like open

Chalkboard technique

Hi

I attended a team meeting where we did this chalkboard technique, (demonstrated by Tina White) which is very effective - really does look like a blackboard. With clear stamps it is easy to put all these sentiments onto a clear block so you can stamp them at one time. Of course you can use a single image as well. Versa mark was used with white embossing powder. After being heat set we used a slightly damp sponge and dabbing onto white craft ink, then lightly rubbing over the black card.

Shimmer Paint

Hi
Today's card uses Frost White Shimmer Paint sprayed onto Rich Razzleberry card using a Stampin' Spritzer to give a beautiful shimmer. Add some isocol to the spritzer then add a small amount of shimmer paint. It's best to start with a small quantity and add more if necessary depending on the look you want. It doesn't take long to dry before being able to stamp on it. I used versa mark and black embossing powder for the happy birthday.




The 1 3/4" scallop circle punch co-ordinates with the flower from the Button Buddies. The great thing with Stampin' Up is that so many things co-ordinate - card, inks, accessories, stamps, punches, Framelits etc, so it makes it so easy to make cards that look so great.

Very vintage

Hi everyone

A very easy way to create a background is with the wheels, as shown on this card using the very vintage jumbo wheel. I had embossed with the Fancy fan folder before using the wheel. To add to the vintage look I used the crochet trim.

Sycamore Street DSP from Sale-a-bration

Hi again

I was looking at the Sycamore Street DSP deciding what card I could make. I chose the piece I would use then realised that there was a co-ordinating Die in the Floral Frames Framelits so just had to use it. I then used the co-ordinating coloured card stock to make the card.
