Flowering Foils Blooming Tag Thank You Card

Hello and welcome to my blog again today!  I have another card to share with you today featuring the Flowering Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper and Tags In Bloom Stamp Set Saleabration items.  I wanted to share with you the fun thank you card that i created for Kylie's International Blog Highlights today.  Please make sure you vote for my card.  Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks: 

I started out my card by coloring the designer series paper.  I find that this paper colors in so many ways; I've used blends, stampin' write markers, and ink to color it.  Get this high-quality patterned paper featuring various floral designs and a checker design. This printed paper is great for card making, scrapbooking, and other paper crafts. The rose gold and silver foil designs will make any project shine. You can even color the white areas using your favorite coloring tools. Earn this fancy paper FREE March 3–March 31, 2020, during part two of our Sale-A-Bration promotion!  After coloring I cut mine down to 4 x 5 1/4.  For my metric friends you will cut your DSP to 14.2cm x 9.8cm.  

I then matted my dsp to a piece of Soft Seafoam Cardstock cut at 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 (metric will do 14.4 cm x 10 cm).  I then took some of the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon and colored it with my Soft Seafoam Stampin' Blends.  I love to color white ribbon with my blends to get a custom ribbon that will match all my projects.  This is so easy to do since Stampin' Up! has perfect color coordination.  

After attaching the ribbon and tie a bow with the extra I added it to my layer and secured the bow on with a Mini Glue Dot.  I stamped my outside sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock using the Tags in Bloom Saleabration Stamp Set.  I stamped the outside image in Flirty Flamingo Ink and the sentiment in Soft Seafoam.  Then I used the Label Me Fancy Punch and punched it out.  I attached the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

At this point it was time to attach everything to my Sahara Sand card base which was cut at 4 1/4 x 11.  For my metric friends you will do 10.5 cm x 29.8 cm and score in half.  


For the inside of my card I added a strip of the Flowering Foil Speciality Designer Series paper and my Thank you Sentiment from the So Sentimental Stamp Set (in Flirty Flamingo ink) onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock cut at 4 x 5 1/4 (or 10 cm x 14.4 cm).

CASE the Catalog - Easter Promise

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you one of the CASE the Catalog Swap cards that I got back in November.  Easter is around the corner and I wanted to share this cute card with you today.  I am not sure who made this card in the swap group but I love what they did.  The card that was CASED (Copy and Share Everything) from the Easter Promise Card on the top of page 44 of the January-June Mini Catalog.  Here's a look at the card I received.

Tips & Tricks: 

For this card the card base was made from Purple Posy Cardstock (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4).  There's a strip of Purple Posy Cardstock that has been embossed with the Spripty 3D embossing folder along with the stitched nestled label die cuts.  The center square was made with the largest square in the Stitched Shapes Dies.  

The flowers and the Happy Easter Sentiment were both heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and then heat set.  The flowers where colored in with stampin blends in the following colors; Purple Posy, Rococo Rose, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive.  Once the flowers where colored they were cut out using snips.  


Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.  If you need any of the supplies you can order them in my online store by clicking on the items in the shopping list below.  
Happy Stampin'

Sending Flowers Little Ladybug - Hey Lady Card for #PCC371

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you may card that I designed based off of this week's Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge.  I decided to use the Sending Flowers Dies which are part of the Coordinating Product Release (while supplies last of until March 31, 2020) and the Little Ladybug Saleabration Host Stamp Set.  I used the two to create a super cute window card that I just love.  Here's a look at my card.

Here's a look at the sketch that inspired today's card.

Tips & Tricks:

I made my card by die cutting the large floral circle die cut from the center of a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock to make the card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2).  Once the center of the card was cut out I needed to die cut all the flowers in from the different colors.  I cut them multiple times from Purple Posy, Calypso Color, Flirty Flamingo, and So Saffron Cardstocks.  This is a great way to use up some scraps, which is what I did.  I actually cut a few more than I needed.  I then attached each of the colored flowers to each flower.  I added each alternating the colors with a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Before gluing all the flowers down I placed my Silicone Craft Mat underneath the card front.  The silicon craft mat is a must have item since snail, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, tear & tape, and hot glue will not stick to it.

Once I had all the flowers covered, I then stamped three of the ladybugs from the Little Ladybug Saleabration Host Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  Once the ink dried I colored each of them with my Stampin' Blends in the following colors; Flirty Flamingo & Petal Pink, Purple Posy & Gray Granite, Calypso Coral & Petal Pink Combo Packs.  The first color listed is the colors of the wings and the second color is the face and belly color.  Once they were colored I used the Ladybugs Dies (also part of the Coordinating Product Release) to cut them out.  Once I had them cut out I cut out two of the grass clumps from a scrap of Mossy Meadow Cardstock.  I then stamped a sentiment on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock in Purple Posy Ink (Discontinued).  But, you could use the Purple Posy Stampin' Write Marker from the 2019-2020 In Color Stampin' Write Markers.

I pulled up all the little flaps that the floral die made on the outside of the circle.  I then added a piece of the 2019-2021 In Colors Designer Series Paper (in Seaside Spray) behind the floral die cut with liquid glue.  I then added the flirty flamingo ladybug tucked into the top left corner secured with a little liquid glue.  I added one of the tulip die cut to her flower with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional.  I then added the Purple Posy ladybug at the top with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I then used the scalloped banner die from the Sending Flowers Dies and cut out the sentiment.  I added it to the card with a Dimensional and a little liquid glue.  I then popped the other ladybug on the card over the end of the sentiment strip with a dimensional.  The grass was added the same way.  I did take a little mossy meadow ink and did a little ink blending up to the grass clumps to have a little bit of a contrast.
