Label Love with Betsy's Blossoms

 

I don't think I have used Perfect Plum in a project for awhile so for today's sample, I have paired it with Whisper White and Silver on a wedding (or probably anniversary would work too) card.

 

The background starts with the Ampersand folder and then a layer of Silver Fancy Foil Vellum with a strip of 1/8" Silver ribbon over the top.  Next, I stamped the big flower from Betsy's Blossoms and punched it out with the 2 1/2" circle punch and layered it over the vellum.

 

Lastly, the Mr. & Mrs. is stamped with silver metallic ink and punched out with the Artisan label punch.

 

I really like this combination!

 

Supplies:

Label Love

Betsy's Blossoms

Silver Metallic, Perfect Plum ink

Whisper White, Perfect Plum card stock

Silver Fancy foil vellum

2 1/2" circle punch

1/8" silver ribbon

Ampersand folder

Strawberry Slush

 

This card came to be as a result of my love for this 2013 - 2015 In Color, Strawberry Slush!  It is in my stamp a stack rotation at the moment and has been a hit.

 

I chose the flower from Betsy's Blossoms as the main focus and added an In Color Dahlia to the middle before I layered it onto a Pink Pirouette circle.  A strip of Quatrefancy specialty paper, a dab of Retro Fresh washi tape and a "Hello friend" from Peachy Keen and there you have it!

More Too Kind

Some more fairly simple cards using the Too Kind stamp set and the Strawberry Slush and Primrose Petals ink combination.

 



 

On the first card, I have a Pistachio Pudding layer embossed with the Modern Mosaic folder as my background and I did not add a mat to the image and sentiment layer.

 

For the second one, I used the large flower from Betsy's Blossoms to create some homemade designer paper and used it for my background.  The mat for the sentiment and image layer is Pear Pizzazz and the card base is So Saffron.

 

 

Laughter

 

Our Late Night Stampers Challenge this week is to use a layout as inspiration for a card or vice versa.  It can also be a 3d item that is inspired by another type of item. 

 

I am using the layout I showed you yesterday (see below) as my inspiration for a card. 

 

 

I used not only the same layout, but the same dsp, card stock colors and stamped images.

 

The difference is instead of the picture, I layered a sentiment from Word Play.

 

Supplies:

Word Play, Betsy's Blossoms, Great Sport

Whisper White, Pacific Point and Basic Gray card stock

Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Bubblegum Green and Melon Mambo classic ink

Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp

sponge dauber

decorative label punch

7/8" scallop circle punch

neutrals designer button

dimensionals

glue dots

 

Hope you come over and play along!

So Different

 

I just love the picture I used on this scrapbook page.  It was taken last summer while we visited some family and it tells so much about these two.

 

 

I used Betsy's Blossoms stamp set for some background as well as the circle from Great Sport (the piece left over from the largest image) and a sponge dauber.

 

The dsp is Sunshine and Sprinkles - I thought it matched their clothing colors pretty well and I used MDS for the title and journaling.

 

If you can't read the t-shirt, it says "I don't need your attitude, I've got my own" - and it is a perfect shirt for Nora. 

Feel Better

 

As I mentioned earlier, my daughter had her tonsils out last week and since she is my little card making helper, I wanted to make her a special card. 

 

 

I used the Betsy's Blossoms and Sassy Salutations stamp sets and layered a Labels collection framelit over an Apothecary Accent.

 

The flower trim was dyed Calypso Coral with some reinkers and water and the background is embossed with the Cloudy Day folder.

 

I added a strip of Naturals Composition specialty paper behind the sentiment and then some flowers on the inside of the card.

 

Colors - Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla card stock

Baja Breeze and Raspberry Ripple classic ink

 

Patience of Nature

 

For this card, I combined Betsy's Blossoms and Nature's Pace stamp sets along with the background stamp Distressed Dots.

 

 

I used Wisteria Wonder, Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist, Early Espresso and Whisper White as my colors and  added a few in color designer brads to complete the card.

 

 

August Stamp Club

These are this month's Stamp Club projects...

Our layout uses Betsy's Blossoms as the stamp set and Comfort Cafe DSP combined with Pool Party, Elegant Eggplant, Wild Wasabi and Very Vanilla.

I went with simple cards this time - love the white gel pen effect!

Another quick and easy one...

and the whole collection.

Happiness

This is another card from my last Stamp A Stack using the Betsy's Blossoms and Pursuit of Happiness stamp sets.  We added a little bling with basic rhinestones and some Pool Party ruffled ribbon.

Colors:

Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Primrose Petals, Whisper White

Betsy's Blossoms

I left the sentiment off this card for now, but thought I would share it with you anyway.  Again, I am using the Naturals Composition specialty paper and I paired it with Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Gumball Green. 

The background behind the flowers and stems is just a clear block dipped in Primrose Petals ink.

Thanks a Million

I haven't been keeping up with posting very well this week since we have been planting potatoes but now that they are all in the ground hopefully I will find a little more time for playing with paper!  My preorder box arrived on Tuesday and I didn't even get a chance to look in it until last night.

This card uses a new stamp set called Betsy's Blossoms as well as three of the new In Colors - Gumball Green, Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple.  It is a little difficult to see in the picture, but I cut out several layers of the flower and popped them up with dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from Word Play.
