Beautiful Difference

 

This is my first time playing with the Timeless Tulips Bundle.  I adore the shading that is built into the stamps.  It makes any stamping look very professional.

 

 

The stamps I have used are all included in the stamp set.  I used all of the flowers and only one of the stems and leaves.  I was trying to keep it simple.

The flowers are stamped using Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. The leaves and stems are stamped in Old Olive.  The large flower is stamped onto the white layer, and additionally on a scrap that is punched out using the Tulip Builder Punch.  I like to stamp it so that you can see it underneath if it is not exactly lined up.

I stamped the sentiment onto Highland Heather card stock using Gorgeous Grape Ink.  The flower with the sentiment is Highland Heather so it is a tad lighter.  And I got to use the Label Me Lovely Punch!  I love the taller size.  This one is different from any of the other punches in that it is taller.  I didn’t necessarily need the height here, but it fits what I intended.

To finish off the card I wrapped the Tri Color Ribbon (shades of our gorgeous purples) around the layer.  I added the sentiment a bit to the left with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I also added a few pearls around just for some bling!

Thank you for stopping in.  I will be back before too long.  Please continue prayers for a speedy recovery.

Poppies

This is the second card from last Sunday’s Stamp Club.  I really adore these poppies and especially the dies.  I have made a similar card previously.

 

I paired the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper with the Poppy Moments Dies.  The flower  base is the DSP and the outline is the Poppy Parade card stock.  I layered this with leaves cut out in Old Olive.  The background stripes are a reverse side of the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.  It is layered onto a piece of Basic Black card stock.

For a touch of brightness, I added Granny Apple Green ribbon.  I think it is just the right amount of bright to compliment the Poppy Parade card stock.

Thank you for checking in today.  I will have another card ready to post on Friday.  I will try to pop in and let you know when I will be back after that.

Be Bold

Before I share my card, I want to give you a heads up.  I will have three cards to share this week.  They are the cards I made with my Stamp Club on Sunday.  But after these I will absent for a couple of weeks.  I am having a minor surgery this week. So Prayers are appreciated!!!  The downside is that my stamping room is in the basement and I will not be able to handle the steps immediately.  Please don’t give up on me, I will return before you really miss me!

Now for a Bold card today.

 

 

I really love the Dressed To Impress Suite of products!  I am not a Bold Lipstick sort of person, but I do really Love the Idea of the sentiment!.  Does that make sense?

I paired these stamps with the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper which is part of the suite.  I intended to use the opposite side that is Lovely Lipstick with white outlines of lipstick cases.  That was the plan right up until I flipped it over to add adhesive and saw the flowers.  I had layed it on top of the other layers and it just seemed a much better fit.  I really like the Scripty Embossing Folder showing behind the strip of DSP.

I cut the image layers using the fabulous Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  They are awesome!  You get six shapes like I used and four sentiment shapes.  I really hope these carry over to the next catalog.  They are so versatile.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I will go ahead and schedule the other posts for Wednesday and Friday.  Then I will be absent for a bit.  I am sure I will get restless and have to get down to my craft room sooner rather than later!!

February InKing Royalty Blog Hop

 

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects celebrate birthdays, so prepare yourself for a wonderful mix of celebratory cards. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My card is for celebrating.  I have made it as a birthday card, but it would work for a variety of events.  I cased it from page 50 of the Mini Catalog.  The thing that first caught my eye, was the Circle Tab Punch for the pull out tab.   I have not used it lately except for tabs for my catalogs.  The thought of using it on a card again was exciting.  I do love my punches.

 

 

And here is a picture of the inside of the card.

 

 

In the catalog, this card is an invitation.  I rarely need invitations, but loved the pull out element.  I  liked the card and layout so much I actually made two of these cards .  Both are using the Under The Umbrella Bundle of products.  The only change in the two are the colors I used.  Here is the second version.

 

 

For both cards, I used the Under The Umbrella Bundle.  This bundle is a stamp set and punch.  I also used the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper for the umbrella on the pull out piece. The flower is punched from the Pleased As Punch DSP also using the Small Bloom Punch from Sale-A-Bration.

After I adhered the pocket together, I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners of the pocket.  For the purple card, I also rounded the corners of the insert.  I did not do that on the Pool Party version.  I think I like the insert rounded best.

The umbrella on the inside of the Pool Party card is the multi colored flower one.  The “Love” tag on both is from the Cup Of Cheer Dies ( which happily carried over!) I love that tag.  And the next SAB release for March has a new matching stamp set for those dies!  Woohoo!

This card is actually very quick to do.  I have two pictures and directions for cutting the angle.  I will place that beneath the Blog Hop List. Some people may not be interested in the how to make it.  Shocking I know!!LOL!!  The supplies I have listed are for the purple version.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Robin Myren at Songbird Designs by Robin. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Card Directions:  The card stock is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, like a normal card.  After scoring, but before folding, place on the trimmer with the scored line on the cutting track.  Use the ruler on the blade holder and score down 1″.  Turn the card the opposite direction and cut from the end of the first cut across the card.  You are removing a 1″ section from the top of the front piece of your card.  Next, angle the cut edge up above the cutting track to that 1″ mark on the cutter.  See picture:

 

You can see from the picture what I meant about cutting the 1″ section away from the top of that right side.  After getting the top edge lined up at 1″ mark, make sure the score line cut intersection is on the cutting track.  Now cut that piece off.  See picture.

 

Now you have your angled card.  I used Tear & Tape around the bottom and outside edge (place it on the top layer).  The inside white layer measures 3 3/4 X 4.  4 is the height.  Place that piece inside the pocket, well away from the tape, when securing the card.  This insures you have a little extra room for ease of inserting and removing the tabbed card.  If I have confused you…..please contact me and I will be happy to explain further.

Blooming Hugs

I am once again sharing Sale-A-Bration items.  I believe this year’s choices are awesome.  Today I am showing the Thoughtful Blooms and the matching Small Bloom Punch.  The punch is going to carry over to the annual catalog.  But you can get it now and it can be Free!  Woohoo!!

 

 

I have a little bit of an unusual combination for this card.  The background designer series paper is the Come Sail Away DSP.  I wanted a matching green that was not flowery.  This piece fit the idea I had perfectly.

The Whisper White layer is first Die Cut using the die from the Nature’s Thoughts dies.  They match the Positive Thoughts Stamp set from the Mini Catalog.  The dies were part of the February Special Release AND they will carry over!!  Another WooHoo!!!

I stamped the leaves and flowers in two greens, Daffodil Delight and added Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.  I stamped extra flowers and punched them out using the Small Bloom Punch.  The striped flowers are glued down and the others are either adhered with a glue dot to the center or with a small dimensional.

The tag is the new Label Me Lovely Punch paired with the Darling Label Punch.  I like for tags to have a backing so went with the two layer tag.  I added the Pineapple Punch ribbon to ground the label.  I had already adhered the right hand flower and split the ribbon to go around it.  I looked at it and decided that it worked just fine like that.

The rhinestones do not show up very well in the photo.  There is one large rhinestone on the left side striped flower and tiny ones on the two flowers on the tag.  I had to give it a little bit of bling!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will return tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop!!

Music

Happy Valentine’s Day to all!  When I made this card, I did not realize, or I didn’t think of it being Valentine’s Day.  I just adore this stamp set.  It is the Music From My Heart.  I saw a sampler someone had made the other day and it was so pretty.  I decided to make a card from that idea.  But for a music lover, or music teacher, the sampler would be an awesome gift!

 

 

I am not a Red and Black person at all.  But I love it for this card.  They seem to just fit this perfectly.  I have a couple of layers going on with this card.  I usually layer, but this is a bit more even for me.  I just didn’t like the black on the red then red on the black.  I felt like it needed to be broken up a little.   The thin Whisper White layer fixed it for me.

I stamped all of the images in either Memento Tuxedo Black, my GoTo black, or in Real Red.  The squares are from the Layering Squares Dies.  I used the smallest ones that would fit my idea.  The Real Red Ribbon down the side is the Real Red Double Stitched Ribbon from the Mini Catalog.  I was so happy that I had that.  I was trying to make it work with a White ribbon and it just wasn’t the perfect thing.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have an Awesome Day and Wonderful Weekend!!
