Powder Pink Daisy and White Roses card

  • Daisy in Powder Pink and white embossing
  • New Daisy Punch
  • Upcoming class with Hello Lovely Project Life set

Powder Pink Daisy


I continued working with the new In Color Powder Pink again today.  I used both the Wood Woods stamp set and the Daisy Delight Stamp Set.  The delicate flowers from the Wood Woods stamp set and the Daisy are both heat embossed in White embossing powder.  




The basecard is in Powder Pink, then a layer of Whisper White and then an image layer in Powder Pink.   The daisy is also stamped on Powder Pink cardstock and heat embossed in white.  

The card is accented with a 1/2" Powder Pink Finely Woven Ribbon.  The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy, and the sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set.  The size of the Thank You in Rose Wonder was a better fit for my card than the Thank You from the Daisy Delight stamp set.         







The close-up of the card below, shows the new Clear Faceted Gems used in the center of the flower.  The Daisy is actually a double layer.  The new Daisy punch was used to punch out the two Daisies which were layered together and popped up on a dimensional.  I also curled the edged of the Daisy with a bone folder to add a little curl to the Daisy.  

     

  
Now I'm anxious to try this same card with Silver embossing and another version with Gold embossing.  I think both will be stunning!

Life is Beautiful using the Colorful Seasons stamp set

  • Beautiful Life with the Colorful Season and new In Colors
  • Sneak Peek at new In Colors
  • Hello Lovely Project Life class

Life is beautiful


I played with a couple of the new In Colors today.  This card uses the new In Colors Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist.  Its a simple card with a Powder Pink basecard, a Whisper White layer, and it uses the new 1/2" Powder Pink Finely Woven Ribbon.    




The card would be a great make-and-take for new stampers.  You could add a Night of Navy layer and a sentiment block with the stitched Shapes Die Cuts to step up this card for experienced stampers. 

I use the Colorful Seasons stamp set for the leaf images and the sentiment.       







The large leaf in the Colorful Seasons set is a two step stamp set,  While the see-through photopolymer set is easy to position to create a perfect leaf, I chose to use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to align the two-step stamping perfectly.  The large leaf actually looks like a die cut with dimension after it's stamped and Powder Pink is so soft that it looks like it is covered with vellum.  I can't say enough about how much I love this new Colorful Seasons stamp set and these new In Colors.   

     


Thanks to Magical Scrapworld for the inspiration for this card.

Stamp: Colorful Seasons (sentiment)
Ink:  Night of Navy,Powder Pink Lemon Line Twist,

Butterfly drama

  • Bold Black and White Butterfly
  • Register now for Hello Lovely Project Life class

Black Butterfly drama


I did a very quick card  today.  It looks striking in real life, but the black on black doesn't photograph very well. think it looks very striking.  I've always loved black and white cards.  They can be very simple yet they can be quite elegant.   




The basecard is Thick Whisper White, then a layer of Basic Black, and finally a layer of Whisper White.  The black banner is 2 inches wide and the tag bottom is hand cut.  Tip.  In the center of the bottom cut up about 1/2".  Then cut from the left site to the top of the center cut and then cut from the right edge to the top of the center cut.  Sometimes its just faster to do banners by hand than to search for the punch or  dies.    






The butterfly is cut with the Butterfly Thinlits.  You will want to use your Precision Base Plate with your Big Shot to ensure the butterfly cuts cleanly.  Then use the Die brush and the foam pad to remove all of the small pieces cleanly and quickly. 

The square the butterfly sits on is the largest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  The butterfly is popped up on Dimensionals cut from the edge of the Dimensional sheet.  

     


Rhinestone Basic Jewels accent the body of the butterfly.  The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set, available from the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog which will be released June 1. 




Recipe:

Stamp: Colorful Seasons (sentiment)
Ink:  Basic Black, 
Paper:  Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Basic Black  
Accessories:   Stitched Shapes Thinlit Dies, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Standard Cutting Pads, Precision Base Plate, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals
