IT’S TIME FOR TIPS & TECHNIQUE TUESDAY

This week I am focusing on the Joyful Squares Bundle and the Square Snippets 12″x 12″ DSP.

Today’s project features a see through feature using a panel of Window Sheet.

Using A4 card, my cards measure 5 3/4″x 4 1/8″. For this card I cut a base measuring 7″x 4 1/8″ and scored it at 5 3/4″.

Then I cut a 1 1/4″x 4 1/8″ panel in the smae card ase colour – Pool Party. I also cut a window sheet panel measuring 4 1/2″x 4 1/8″.

TIP: Adhere the bottom Pool Party panel to one end of the window sheet. Then, add Stampin’ Seal+ to the back of the card base 1 1/4″ scored section. Hold the window sheet panel firmly at the bottom of the card base and then press the top 1 1/4″ flap to the window sheet panel.

I used the square and frame dies to cut the two DSP shapes and the Pool Party frame for the card front.

The two DSP squares were layered and adhered together. I added a Pool Party square to the back of each DSP square. The Pool Party frame was attached using Foam Adhesive Strips.

This layered DSP and frame piece was adhered to the window sheet using Stampin’ Seal+.

I stamped a Basic White square using Strawberry Slush ink.

TIP: Position the stamped white card insert over the Pool Party square on the window sheet. Use a strip of Post-it Tape to hold it in place. Add adhesive to the back of the white square and close the card to glue the card insert in place.

The back of the envelope was stamped with the same image.

I stamped the greeting on Basic White card and used the irregular circle die to cut it out. It was popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A length of Strawberry SLush Faux Linen Ribbon was cut in half and tied into a bow with three lengths of white Baker’s Twine that was coloured with the Dark Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blend. It took one of the amazing Mini Glue Dots to secure the bow in place.

Finally, I added three of the Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls to embellish the card.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you, as well as some extras to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

Colour INKspiration #202

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Me! We welcome Sandra Strobel as our Guest Designer.

See the photo credit here.

This photo was perfect to use as INKspiration to use the new Sunshine & Tulips Bundle.

For this card I used a Basic White card base. After die cutting the tulips, I wrapped white Baker’s Twine around the panel and added a triple bow feature.

I die cut the tulip petals using a variety of 2025 6″x 6″ DSP and the leaves from Garden Green card.

The greeting was stamped and cut using the Three Banner Punch. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I was able to lift the banner up on the card front.

I added some Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls to embellish the card front.

The back of the envelope and inside the card were stamped with the row of 5 small tulips.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED – TIME FOR SOME FUN

For my Friday Fun Fold card I have an Easel Card for you, featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection.

I will definitely need to make some more projects, using this Suite, because I haven’t even touched the Puffy Stickers yet.

I couldn’t resist using the palm trees paper again!

In addition to the DSP, I die cut three palm trees and addded them to the grove of trees. I thinly cut strips of Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the trees up over the DSP palms.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of Basic White card and trimmed to a neat rectangle. I used Dimensionals to add the greeting to the card front.

The ribbon embellishment was created by cutting a length of Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon, fraying it and then tying a multiple-looped bow. I secured it place using a Mini Glue Dot.

I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend pen and added them as ‘coconuts’ to one of the palms.

Now, let’s check out the easel.

I added a strip of the DSP at the bottom edge of the Basic White card insert. This works as the edge to hold the card front up.

Some extra coloured Pearls were added to this DSP panel.

I stamped the greeting on the Basic White card insert before adhering another die cut palm tree.

This week was fun – I hope you enjoyed all my shares.

Make sure you leave me a comment to tell which is your favourite project.
