The card I have created for you today features the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder and the Mixed Bunch stamp set (wood mount and clear mount).  It is not only beautiful, but also very quick!  The best of both worlds for this busy mom and teacher!  If you enjoy this card, please leave me a comment.  I would love to hear what you think.  On March 31st, I will do a drawing and one lucky person who left me a comment will receive a beautiful handcrafted card in the mail!  Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically.  Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar.

Beautifully Baroque Mixed Bunch7

This card is loosely based on the Freshly Made Sketches #124.

I began my card by cutting a panel of Whisper White stock, which I dry embossed using the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder and my Big Shot.  Then I cut my panel into thirds and adhered them to a Whisper White card base using  SNAIL adhesive, leaving about 1/8″ of space between the three panels.

Next, I cut a thin strip of card stock and adhered a length of Strawberry Slush Stretch Ruffle Trim to it using SNAIL.  I layered that at the bottom of my embossed panels, then I stamped my flower from the Mixed Bunch stamp set on whisper white card stock using my Strawberry Slush Classic Stampin’ Pad and cut it out using the Blossom Punch.  For the center of my flower, I stamped a small medallion from the stamp set with the same ink on Strawberry Slush card stock.  The medallion was punched using the 7/8″ scalloped circle punch and layered on top of the flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals and finished with a Basic Pearl Jewel Accent.  I used my Banner Punch (Sale-a-bration item available FREE with a $50 purchase until March 31st) to cut out two small banners and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere them to the card behind the flower.

I finished my card by stamping the “Happy Birthday Wishes” greeting from the Simply Sketched stamp set (Hostess Reward Item) in the bottom corner of the card.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure I got the placement just right.  I just love that tool!  

As you can see, this card was very simple to make, but elegant none-the-less.  If you enjoyed my post, please pin it to Pinterest for me.  I am working on building up my blog following and could use your help in getting the word out!  If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you will find a “pin it” button just below my supply list for the project… and, don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win a handcrafted card in the mail!

Sweet Sorbet and Chalk Talk Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

Today I have created a lovely card for you featuring the Chalk Talk stamp set (wood mount and clear mount) and Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item available FREE with a $50 purchase through March 31st!).  I wanted to create a beautiful card that would be quick and easy to put together.  If you enjoy this card, please leave me a comment.  I would love to hear what you think.  On March 31st, I will do a drawing and one lucky person who left me a comment will receive this beautiful card in the mail!  Also, if you enjoy reading my posts, why not have them delivered to your inbox automatically.  Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar.

Chalk Talk & Sweet Sorbet15

I started my creation by cutting panels of Basic Black card stock, Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, and Whisper White card stock.  I adhered the black and Sweet Sorbet panels together with SNAIL adhesive.  Then I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the Chalk Talk stamp on the Whisper White panel using my Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad.  I added a strip of Coastal Cabana Stretch Ruffle Trim and adhered the white panel to the top of the Sweet Sorbet panel.   Then I adhered my layered panels to a Soft Sky card base.

Chalk Talk & Sweet Sorbet13

Next, I used my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to color in a portion of the Chalk Talk stamp I used on the front of my card.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place it where I wanted it above and below my layered panels, recoloring the stamp before stamping it again.

Chalk Talk & Sweet Sorbet19

Finally, I used the Decorative Label Punch to create a background for my greeting with Pool Party card stock.  I stamped the “I’m So Grateful There’s You” sentiment from the Chalk Talk stamp set on Whisper White card stock using my Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad.  I layered those on the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, then I added a Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accent to each of the scrollwork details at the top and bottom of the card.

Chalk Talk & Sweet Sorbet7

I finished the inside of my card by layering a panel of Whisper White card stock on top of a Basic Black one.  I colored the Chalk Talk  stamp again with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to center it at the bottom of the card.

This card was fun to create, and I hope that you have enjoyed reading about it.  If you did, please pin it to Pinterest for me.  I am new to blogging and I would love your help in developing a blog following.  If you scroll to the bottom of the post, you will find a “pin it” button just below my supply list for the project… and, don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win today’s card!

A “See Ya Later” Birthday Sale-A-Bration – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

0

Today’s share was created using the See Ya Later stamp set and Decorative Dots (Sale-a-bration items) embossing folder from Stampin’ Up! Both of these items are available FREE with a $50 purchase through March 31st!  I just love this card!  I can’t wait to send it to someone special.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB7

I wish I could take full credit for this cute design, but I actually got the idea from a similar card I saw on Pinterest, created by Selene Kempton.  I changed it up a little bit to make it my own, but I want to be sure to give credit where credit is due.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB9

I started by cutting panels of Coastal Cabana and Pink Pirouette card stock.  Next, I dry embossed the pink panel using the Decorative Dots embossing folder and my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB11

I used the three largest Banner Framelits Dies to cut banners from the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper.  I wanted my banners to be different lengths, but they were too wide for my project, so I trimmed each of them to be 1-1/4 inches wide. Then I adhered them to the Pink Pirouette panel using SNAIL adhesive.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB12

I wrapped my pink panel with Coastal Cabana Stretch Ruffle Trim and tied it in a knot. Then I adhered the two panels together and placed them on a Whisper White card base using SNAIL.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB8

I used stampin’ write markers (So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Strawberry Slush, & Coastal Cabana) to color the birthday sentiment from the See Ya Later stamp set.  Then I used the Labels Collection Framelits to cut it out.

Next I used a sponge dauber to color the edges of the sentiment using my Strawberry Slush Classic Stampin’ Pad and adhered the final product to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB3

Finally, I completed the front of the card by adding three small Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accents in the bottom right hand corner.

See Ya Later Birthday SAB4

I finished the inside of my card by adding a strip of Coastal Cabana card stock along the bottom.  Then I used the banner punch (Sale-a-bration item) to create three small banners using the same Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper which was used on the front of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed my share today.  I certainly enjoyed creating it.  If you would like to place an order and earn the See Ya Later stamp set, Decorative Dots embossing folder, or the banner punch for FREE (Sale-a-bration items), please click here to shop in my online store.
