ANOTHER FINE ART FLORAL CARD

Hello to all my stamping friends – thanks for popping by.

Today, I want to shae another card I made using the FINE ART FLORAL SUITE. Full disclosure and warning – once you start creating with this suite, you will be hooked.

The sheet of DSP has some tiny flecks of Night of Navy amongst the flowers and that was enough for me to use a navy card base. The layout for this card is an uncomplicated one – three evenly spaced strips of DSP and an oval shaped focal point.

I stamped the floral image onto Basic White card stock and die cut it. The colour was added directly onto the stamp. The flowers were popped up onto the STITCHED OVAL die cut piece of vellum and this was popped up onto the card front as well.

The navy jewels are from the HOLIDAY RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS and the twine is from the WELL SUITED TWINE COMBO PACK.

I am so pleased with how the ‘congratualtions’ sentiment stands out so clearly from the background.

Who would you send this card to?

Happy stamping.

TECHNIQUE TIME – MASKS

Hello to my card making friends. Many of you may know that one of my goals this year is to participate more regularly in Blog Hops.

It has been a while since I joined the FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS blog hop, but I’m working on my stamping schedule to make sure I include the themes and dates (fingers crossed).

The theme this week is MASKS. I chose to use a very simple masking technique for this card.

I wanted to create stacked ice cream cones but didn’t want to punch out separate ice cream tops.

I stamped one ice cream image onto a post it note and fussy cut it out. To create the ice cream trio stack I stamped the image in Gorgeous Grape onto Basic White card stock. The post it note was secured over that stamped image. I cleaned and reinked the stamp in Pretty Peacock and stamped the image a little lower. I repeated this step using Bermuda Bay.

The two ice cream stack was created using the same steps using Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody.

And, the Magenta Madness ice cream went solo. Finally, there was fussy cutting.

The waffle looking sheet from the ICE CREAM CORNER DSP pack was cut the cake cones.

Joy Kids Cake Ice Cream Cone - 1260/Case

The greetings were stamped using Bermuda Bay and Magenta Madness. This double stamping creates a colourful shadow.

Make sure you hop along to the other Freshly Brewed Projects participants for other great ways to make your cards shimmer.

The colours I chose to use are also the colours for #CI91.

No photo description available.

I didn’t add glitter paper to the card but did use CLEAR WINK OF STELLA.

Happy stamping.

OH, SO PRETTY

Hello to my paper crafting friends. Thanks for popping by.

I spent yesterday enjoying the FINE ART FLORAL SUITE and it is OH, SO PRETTY! What do you think?

FINE ART FLORAL SUITE COLLECTION

The FINE ART FLORAL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER is stunning. I would love to see the painted canvases that were created for this DSP. When you look at the DSP you want to touch it because it looks like the texture is real. And, the colours are great as well.

FINE ART FLORAL SUITE COLLECTION

For my first card I used the PAINTED TEXTURE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER, some of the DSP (look above – third from the right, bottom row) and the ‘just want to say’ dies from the FLORAL GALLERY DIES.

FINE ART FLORAL SUITE COLLECTION

I used the ENJOY THE MOMENT STAMP SET for the image and the ART GALLERY STAMP SET for the sentiment.

Oops, one the ELEGANT FACETED GEMS has fallen off my card.

Before I cut the ‘just want to say’ I placed ADHESIVE SHEETS behind the DSP, making it easy to place the words onto the STITCHED RECTANGLE piece of vellum. Then, I used cut pieces of dimensionals to position behind most of the letters so the vellum could by raised above the textured card stock.

I placed a strip of one of the SQUARE VELLUM DOILIES under the left hand side of the stamped image. I added colour directly, in small sections, onto the stamp using Stampin’ Write Markers™ and my Stamparatus.

The two dies that cut the ‘banner’ are awesome. I love the shape – they have a postage stamp edge.

Happy stamping.
