Petal Messages

I have a collection of cards to show you today using the Many Messages Bundle and Paper Blooms designer series paper 

from Sale-a-bration.  

I chose a couple different textures for my backgrounds, using the Honeycomb folder and Painted Textures folder.

There are several patterns of the designer series paper on these cards as well as some linen thread and bakers twine to break up the colors.

Each of the sentiments was stamped with Many Messages and then die cut with the Messages die - one stamp and one cut through the die cutting machine for all the cards, plus lots of sentiments left over for later use.

Supplies:

Basic Black ink

Whisper white, Seaside Spray, Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive, Balmy Blue card stock

Linen thread

Gummy Bear Wishes

Today I have some fun birthday cards to share with you that are made with Sale-a-bration and Occasions catalog items.  Unfortunately they aren't available to purchase anymore but I made them when they were current and just didn't have time to share them with you before now!  

I thought they would be good cards for any age...The stamp set is called Hello Cupcake and I paired it with the How Sweet It Is designer series paper.  The colors are Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight.

Supplies:

Hello Cupcake (SAB 2019)

Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green ink

Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Gorgeous Grape card stock

Stitched Seasons framelits

I've Got This

The sentiment on this card is the reason I purchased this stamp set Sending Thoughts even though I like others in the set.  I know it will be used quite a bit around here...

I paired it with the Butterfly Basics stamp set and the Honeycomb embossing folder.  The striped piece of card stock behind the flower layer is a random Project Life card.

Supplies:

Butterfly Basics, Sending Thoughts

Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi, Sweet Sugarplum ink and markers

Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Crumb Cake card stock

honeycomb folder

linen thread

Stylish Stems framelits

Friends Who Know

The saying on this stamp set probably holds true for a lot of friendships or at least is fun to joke about :) 

 

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then used blendabilities to color in the uninked spots before I cut it out.

 



 

The Honeycomb folder was used directly on the card base this time and I added a small piece of Flashback designer series paper as well.

 

Supplies:

Friends Who Know

Memento Tuxedo black ink

Coastal Cabana, Very Vanilla card stock

Flashback dsp

Rich Razzleberry cotton ribbon

Seize the Cake

 

On this card, I used a stamp from a past My Paper Pumpkin kit along with the Work of Art and Something to Say stamp sets. I thought is would work for a masculine card pretty well with the color combination I used (Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Coastal Cabana).

 

The Happy Birthday is punched out with the new 2" circle punch and I used the 2 1/2" punch for the Coastal Cabana layer.

 

Supplies:

My Paper Pumpkin, Something to Say, Work of Art

Happy Dahlia

I think I tend to stay away using certain colors on a regular basis and the oranges are one of those.  In fact, I was planning to use the other side of the Retro Fresh designer series paper that is on this card, but at the last minute I changed my mind and I like the way it turned out.

 



 

There is some texture on the bottom layer created by the Honeycomb folder and then I added some linen thread around the dsp layer and just wrapped it around a few times. 

 

Sometimes a this Dahlia image just needs to be cut out and popped up on the front of a card, LOL!  It really doesn't take that long to do it, but I wouldn't want to make a large swap like that!

See ya later!

 

Well, this card is kind of for my kids...we are on vacation without them and missing them like crazy.  It also ties in with the Late Night Stampers challenge of using embossing of some type on your project.  

 

My background is from the Gingham Garden designer series paper pack and I added some Decorative Dots embossing on Daffodil Delight and some Honeycomb embossing on my Apothecary accent. 

 

The sentiment is stamped on an image from Everything Eleanor that I cut out with my paper snips.

You & Me

 

I was playing with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch and layers on this card by using a strip of Strawberry Slush that was about 1 3/4" and one of Whisper White that was 2".  They are just so much fun to play with!

 

The sentiment comes from Countless Sayings 2 and is stamped in Island Indigo and Strawberry Slush.  I placed both the you and me stamps on the same block and stamped them at the same time over the ampersand.

 

A little bit of 5/8" natural Chevron ribbon and Quatrefancy specialty paper and the card is good to go!

Kind and Cozy - two ways

I seem to have a difficult time using the Kind and Cozy stamp set even though I really like the images.  For some reason, I just can't figure out fun ways to use it most of the time.

 

 

One thing I really like about the set is the circle that you pop out when you mount the image used above - as you can see I used the circle as a stamp as well to add some color to the middle of the outer image.

 

On each card, I used some scraps of Strawberry Slush that I had embossed with the Honeycomb folder and the circle with its stamped images.

 

Which one do you like better?

Non Winning Artisan Project #6

 

I played around with so many techniques and ideas on this page and really didn't want to give it up when I was done with it, but also didn't know if I wanted to spend another 3 hours on one scrapbook page! 

 

 

Some of the background texture is from inked embossing folders and other is from inked up saran wrap.

 

I did LOTS of sponging and some distressing of card stock along with lots of layering.

Today's card goes along with our Late Night Stampers Challenge of using lace on your project.  You can see the design team ideas and entries here.  Hope you play along!

Here is card #4 for you, just one left for tomorrow and then on to the scrapbook pages!  I used the More Amour specialty paper and the coordinating colors along with the Artisan Embellishment kit.

Texture was added using the Perfect Polka Dots and Honeycomb folders.

Bombs Away Birthday

I wanted to make some fun cards using the Bombs Away Birthday photopolymer stamp set and this is what I came up with...

 



 

I took some tags made from the Two Tags Die (retired) and used them a my focus.  The circles are 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" punched circles that have been embossed with the Honeycomb folder.

 

My background on the top ones is stamped with the Mosaic Madness stamp set, Smoky Slate ink on the same color card stock.

 

The background on this one is the bomb stamp, Bravo Burgundy ink on the same color card stock.
