Life is Better With a Friend Like You

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card that I made using the die cut coloring hack I shared during this weeks Facebook Live.  If you missed that post and video you can click here to see it.  I used the Peaceful Moments Bundle to create my card for today's project.  The sentiment from today's card came from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.  Here's a look at the card I created.

This is a little more geared toward the casual or avid crafter with all the die cutting involved.  The technique is the same just a little more die cutting involved.  I started out by cutting everything out using the Poppy Moments Dies.  I started out by cutting the Poppy Parade piece of cardstock first.  I cut it first to 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" and then ran it through the die cutting machine twice with the more decorative die.  Once facing one way and then flipped it around and cut it again in the other direction.
For the poppies and leaves I used the following cardstocks; Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Shaded Spruce, and Pear Pizzazz.  I used the following ink to add the coloring for the die cuts.  I added a little Poppy Parade ink in the center of the Vanilla flower and added a little daffodil delight in the center.  I then added the craft white around the edges.  On the poppy parade flower I used poppy parade ink around the center and white around the edges.  For the buds I used Daffodil Delight at the base of the buds and white at the top just a little.  For the leaves I used Shaded Spruce on the dark part and came in and used a little white just around the edges.  I did the same what the Pear Pizzazz just but used the matching ink.  This allows for multiple tones and values on the same leaves and flowers. 
Once everything was cut colored and died I could put them together.  I glued everything together using Multipurpose liquid glue.  I popped the Poppy Parade die cut panel up on Stampin' Dimensionals in the center of a Pear Pizzazz card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4).  I then arranged all the die cuts around the card popping some up with dimensionals and letting others flat on the die cut panel.  I stamped the sentiment in pear Pizzazz ink on a strip of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 5/8" x 4 1/4".  I tucked one end under the poppies just where the sentiment showed.

Peaceful Moments Thank You Cards

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the card that I made during last nights Facebook Live.  I go live every Wednesday night at 8 pm CST if you have never joined me.  This week I featured the Peaceful Moments Bundle from Stampin' Up! and showcased a Double Dry Embossed Technique and a way to coloring hack for die cuts.  Here's a look at my cards.

Tips & Tricks: 

I did the Flirty Flamingo version before the live, and did the Blackberry Bliss version during.  With the coloring hack you can see a lot of different color values.  The thing is all the die cut flower and leaves are one color cardstock.  Well the leaves was done with Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz Cardstocks.  I absolutely love the Poppy Moments Dies and all the wonderful floral creations that can be made with the dies and just some cardstock.  I created the multi-colored look with some ink and my sponge daubers.  For the Blackberry Bliss Poppy I used Blackberry Bliss ink in the center and Whisper White Craft Ink on the outside.  The craft ink makes the cardstock a little lighter so you naturally have a different hue.  
I did the same thing with the Flirty Flamingo version of the card but just used Flirty Flamingo ink in the center.  I also changed up the Designer Series paper and picked a pattern that had the Flirty Flamingo in it.  I used the same packs of Designer Series paper as the other card.  I used the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper from the Mini Catalog; and the Golden Honey Saleabration Speciality Paper as the other.  
As far as the Double Dry Embossing technique it's super easy.  The main thing is that you have to have one that's not as strong of an emboss as the other.  I used the Subtle 3d Embossing Folder first and then used the Country Floral 3d embossing folder next.
