Vintage Verse Butterfly

The card I have for you today uses some Print Poetry dsp behind a tag from the Two Tags die.  I used the 1 1/4" and 7/8" scallop circle punches on the tag so the dsp would show through.

 

 

The elegant butterfly was also punched from from the same dsp stack.

 

The background is the Distressed Dots stamp with Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake card stock. 

 

Supplies:

Vintage Verses, Distressed Dots

Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake ink

Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler card stock

Natural 7/16" trim ribbon

7/8" and 1 1/4" scallop circle punches

elegant butterfly punch

Two Tags die

basic pearls

Print Poetry dsp stack

If you have not tried the Delicate Details Lace Tape, you don't know what you are missing :)  It is super easy to use and quick to add a little something to a project.

 

 

On this card, I sponged some Primrose Petals on the edge of my Whisper White and then added the lace tape over the top, but you can also use it as a mask by placing it on your card stock, adding color and then removing it. 

 

The base for my sentiment is actually some packaging that comes with the Artisan Embellishment kit and I thought it would be fun to add it to this card.

 

Supplies:

Pursuit of Happiness

Whisper White card stock

Primrose Petals ink

Whisper White card stock

1/8" Certainly Celery taffeta ribbon

Delicate Details Lace tape

basic rhinestones

 

Peaceful Memories

 

 

I have been in need of lots of sympathy cards lately so in the next little while I plan to show you a few new ones that I have made to restock my card stash.

 

 

For this one, I used some Tea for Two dsp as my background and stamped my sentiment right on it since it is light enough to show the ink.

 

Supplies:

Blessings From Heaven, Serene Silhouettes

Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake card stock

Tea for Two dsp

Crumb Cake ink

Victoria crochet trim

Vintage trinkets

 

Oh Happy Day!

 

The Late Night Stampers challenge this week is to Celebrate St Patrick's Day...well, I don't have any stamps for that occasion so this is what I came up with.

 

 

The paper doily is dyed with some Crumb Cake reinker and my four leaf clover is made from the heart punch.

 

Supplies:

Bloomin' Marvelous

Nature's Pace

 

I am using this card as one of my stamp a stack projects this month.  It is fairly quick to put together and uses the Hello Doily and Nature's Pace stamp sets.

 

 

I added an In color dahlia and some stitched satin Raspberry Ripple ribbon to complete the card.

 

Supplies:

Once again, I really love Mary Jo's sketch for this week so I had to play along. 

 

 

I chose Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals, Soft Suede, Early Espresso and Baja Breeze for my colors and used the Elements of Style stamp set.

 

Instead of ribbon, I used a strip of Beau Chateau designer fabric and tied a knot around the crumb cake and top note layer.

Simple Birthday

 

The Late Night Stampers challenge this week is Happy Birthday projects and the card I have to show you today is a pretty simple one.

 

 

I layered some Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp on some Midnight Muse card stock and added some two tone Basic Gray/Basic Black ribbon.

 

I used the Oh Hello and Sassy Salutations stamp sets along with the Ovals framelits for the sentiment.  The final touch was a designer button with some linen thread through it.

 

Make sure you come and join us!

Night of Navy and Primrose Petals classic ink

February Stamp Camp

 

We had another fun Stamp Camp not too long ago and I wanted to share the projects we created.

 

 

This little treat holder was CASEd from one Dawn created that I thought was so cute!

 

This card was also CASEd with a little change, the original was created by Bronwyn Eastley.

 

Lisa created this one and it uses a stamp set I never looked twice at in the spring catalog, but like what she came up with!

Sharing Some More Love

 

Well, I didn't get these posted before Valentine's Day but thought I would still share them with you.  A few of them could be used for weddings, etc. as well.

 

 

The stamp set I used on these is called You are Loved.

 

A variety of framelits, embossing folders and embellishments were used as well as the Artisan Embellishment kit.

 

The saying on the card above is actually printed on the dsp (More Amore).

 

Hope you enjoy them! 

Love always

 

I was playing with the Affection Collection stamp set again and came up with these two similar cards. 

 

 

The ribbons are from the Artisan Embellishment kit and I chose Wisteria Wonder, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla and Primrose Petals for my colors.

 

Each ones also has a strip of Very Vanilla that was embossed with the Needlepoint Border folder.

TSSC250

 

I found time to play along with Mary Jo's sketch challenge again, hopefully I can make it a consistent thing again!

 

 

I used the Heart a Flutter, Teeny Tiny Wishes and Affection Collection stamp sets and some More Amore specialty paper.

 

The scalloped circle is die cut from the Perfect Pennants die and the strip of dsp along the bottom is cut from the Petal Cone die.  The circle is from the 1 3/4" circle punch.

 

I made mine into an anniversary card since I need one today - 15 years for my husband and I!  Originally I was planning to use Primrose Petals as my card base color, but thought Basic Gray might be a little bit more masculine :)

Oh Hello!

 

The third of my projects for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Grow Creative Love 2013 is a card set made with the Oh Hello stamp set.  I am really loving this set and the matching Tea for Two designer series paper!

 

 

There are so many great project and more to come including a project from the creator of the Pop n Cuts!  Come and join us at www.ustampwithdawnandfriends.com

 

 

Remember When

 

The Late Night Stampers challenge this week involves the Sale-a-bration goodies!  I have two cards to share with you using the same stamp set - Feeling Sentimental, although remember I said I wasn't committed to it so I was using it digitally?  These images are still digital ones, but I have since purchased the set :)

 

 

I embossed the sentiment from Word Play with Gold embossing powder and added some Sprinkles and Sunshine dsp and Naturals designer buttons.  The Early Espresso layer is embossed with the Cloudy Day folder.

 

These cards are also digital except for the sentiment which comes from Lacy and Lovely.  I used Pool Party and Basic Gray as my colors and the dsp is from the Simply Scrappin' Kit called Afternoon Daydream.

 

The embossing on the two cards above was done with the Vintage Wallpaper and Honeycomb folders.

 

Hope you come and play along with us!
