The card I created for today reminds me of some jeans I had in the late 60’s. I was probably about 12 years old and can still see them in my mind. HaHa !!
Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle, 145301
Can you picture that print and colors on a pair of white jeans? Now you are laughing with me! And yes, I have used Lemon Lime Twist again. I am addicted!!
I hope you will join with me in loving this wonderful bundle. This is the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle. It is the stamp set and the Happy Birthday Thinlits. It is a wonderful combination.
To go perfectly with the Happy Birthday Thinlits is the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheets. If you are like me, I could never really get the hang of using the Fine Tip Glue Pen on the little tiny words and not make a mess. Yes I used it but the adhesive sheets are SOOOOOO much easier. I cut a piece of the adhesive sheet a little larger than the Happy Birthday Die and adhere it to the scrap of paper I am using and that it that. Once you have the die cut, just peel off the paper and stick it to your card. No Mess and only smiles!
I got a little out of order on the card in talking about the adhesive sheets. Oops! I used the Touches of Texture speckle stamp for some background on my card. I used Lemon Lime Twist ink and then stamped off to soften it a little. I then stamped the outline of the flowers in Berry Burst ink. Since the set is photopolymer it is so easy to line up the inside of the flower and it is stamped in Powder Pink ink. The Powder Pink is the perfect pink. It is still a pretty pink but quite a bit darker than Pink Pirouette. It really does show up.
This is such a quick card and would be easy to make multiples of. This background could be done on a full sheet of Whisper White card stock and then cut into the layers that you need for later. My tip of the day!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Please do not forget the Host Rewards Extras for June!!
Have you been wondering why I am suddenly posting every day, and even on the weekend? My wonderful SU UPLINE, Brian King, present a challenge to our group of InKing Royalty. We are supposed to make a card with the new products every day from June 5 – 19! What a challenge, but Oh What Fun!!! Twist my arm and make me play, YES!!
Today’s card is a mixture of items. But I think it has a little bit of whimsy look. What do you think?
Happy Birthday Gorgeous, Lovely Words,
I used the new Color Theory DSP Stack, Happy Birthday Gorgeous, and the Lovely Words Thinlits. Of course I have to get some Lemon Lime Twist involved. I know I should back off of using it so much. I am trying!
The base of the card is Crushed Curry card stock cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and folded in half
The layer of Lemon Lime Twist card stock is cut to 5 1/4 X 4
The next layer of Crushed Curry is cut to 5 1/8 X 3 7/8
The layer of Color Theory DSP is cut to 5 X 3 3/4
The “Friend” is cut from the Lovely Words Thinlits Die from Lemon Lime Twist card stock with the Multii-purpose adhesive sheet added to the card stock prior to die cutting. (It adds glue all over the die for easy adhesion)
Make A Wish is stamped directly onto the DSP using Lemon Lime Twist Ink
The balloons are stamped in Lemon Lime Twist on scrap Whisper White and punched with the Balloon Bouquet Punch and then raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals
And that is a pretty simple card. Before long I will have all of you addicted to Lemon Lime Twist too !!
Even though I listed all of the products, the photos are below and you can click on any of them to go directly to my on line store.
Thank you for stopping by today!! Please do not forge the wonderful ADDITIONAL HOST DOLLARS for this month.
I seem to be doing a lot of FIRSTS lately, and that is a good thing. 🙂 My card today is my first 4 X 4 card that I have posted. It is a very quick and easy card for any reason just by changing the sentiment. But this one is a Happy Birthday.
Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits, Awesomely Artistic
Aren’t those dragonflies awesome? I used Awesomely Artistic set for the flowers , the badge, and the splatter. The Happy Birthday is from the Sweet Cupcake set. And the dragonflies are from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits. That is pretty much the card!
The base is Smoky Slate cut to 8 X 4 and folded in half. The Tempting Turquoise layer is 3 7/8 X 3 7/8, and the Whisper White layer is 3 3/4 X 3 3/4. I am really falling in love with these square cards! I stamped the foliage in Wild Wasabi and then colored it with Pear Pizzaz and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Markers. The splatter is stamped off and done in Smoky Slate. The banner is stamped in Smoky Slate with the words in Tempting Turquoise. It was very easy to fussy cut and then pop up with our Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The dragonflies actually die cut a connection of five. But for this small card it was too much. So I trimmed them down to three and added a glue dot under two of the dragonfly bodies. Glue dots are extremely sticky so no worries about them falling off!
All of the items I used today are carrying over to the new catalog. But don’t forget to check the retiring list for things that are not carrying over!
These are the items I used for this Dragonfly Birthday card.
This is my first post that is not a card! Oh MY !! But who does not like to receive cute little treats, especially chocolate. And this is a really quick pouch to make so if would be perfect for a little treat for a group and can be decorated to match the occasion. Here is my Delightful Daisy Treat Pouch:
Daisy Delight Bundle, 145361
Is this not Delightfully Cute ? HaHa…. I received the prototype for this little treat pouch at a swap and there was no name, so I cannot give the original maker credit. (Always put your name on your swaps!)
Too bad you cannot really see the beautiful Delightful Daisy DSP that is the band around the pouch. It is gorgeous!! I will give you the measurements for everything and show a picture of the inside piece. But trust me, this is super quick and easy if you were making multiples !!
The base of the pouch is done in Powder Pink card stock and measures 6 1/2 X 2
Score from each end at 3″, then punch each end with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch
The Band is done with the Delightful Daisy DSP and measures 5 1/4 X 2
Score the band at 1/2, 1, 3 , & 3 1/2. Use your bone folder to score each fold to assure it lines up properly
Add the Tear Tape to the very edge of the end opposite of the 1/2″ score.
Lay the band down with all folds folded and you can see that it overlaps perfectly. Peel off the tape and adhere.
Lay your nuggets down on the pouch and fold the top over then hold it and slide the band on.
Decorate the front as you like!!!
Wasn’t that quick and easy ? Here is a photo of the pouch, or the card stock that is scored and punched.
Delightful Daisy Treat Pouch
Can you see how technical this is???? I am really being silly. This is one of the easiest treat pouches I have ever made. So please give it a try.
For the Daisy on the front, I stamped the daisy twice in Powder Pink and punched out with the daisy punch. I sponged some Daffodil Delight to blend it with the DSP. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Birthday Banners Set in Powder Pink and just snipped the ends to make a banner. I used glue dots to adhere the daisy and a dimensional in the center of the daisy to hold the banner. Then just slide it over the top of the pouch and tie a bow. The bow is more for securing the candy during transport so they do not slide out the top!! We cannot have that!!
I hope you will try making these cute things and use your creativity to decorate the front. Thank you for stopping by today! I do not have the product list as they are all new items and I was having technical difficulty getting the pictures. I will figure this stuff out eventually! The main thing to remember is the Daisy Delight Bundle !!
Today’s card is one I shared with my stamp club on Sunday. I used the Window Shopping stamp set in a different way. Here is my card.
Window Shopping, 142920
For this card I stamped the two background pieces in Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate ink and then punched them out using the 1 1/4 circle punch. I then used the 1 3/8 circle punch to make backdrops for the stamped images in Calypso Coral and Smoky Slate card stock.
The Designer Series Paper is a retiring paper stack named A Little Foxy. It is cut to 5 1/4 X 1 and layered on a Calypso Coral piece cut to 5 1/4 X 1 1/4. After I placed the circles, I stamped Make A Wish in Smoky Slate ink and added the little cupcake from the stamp set in Calypso Coral.
For some added touches, I placed a Metallic Enamel Shapes heart in the center of the Smoky Slate circle. I also tied a bow using the Thick Baker’s Twine in Calypso Coral.
I hope you like this simple but a little different take on this card. The DSP and the Baker’s Twine I used are retiring. If you like any of these items, you can click on any of the product pictures listed below and it will take you to my on line store.
I see 4 X 4 cards quite often and think to myself that I should try that, and of course I never do! Well today I did it!! And then I do the imaginary eye roll and ask “why did I wait so long to do this”? Duh….. Of course the 4 X 4 cards can be every bit as elaborate as a regular A2 card or just a simple note. I went with the simple.
Country Livin’ 141925, $15.00
My plan was for a cute little card that could be used for a variety of reasons. And as most of my cards are, it was very quickly put together. The stamp sets are Country Livin’ and Endless Birthday Wishes.
The base of the card is done in Soft Suede card stock = 8 X 4 and folded in half
The next layer is Sahara Sand card stock = 3 3/4 X 3 3/4
The top layer is Very Vanilla card stock = 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
The boots are stamped in Early Espresso Ink and colored with a Blender Pen and the Ink pads .
The boots are colored with Sahara Sand ink, the darker areas are Crumb Cake Ink and the sole and straps are Soft Suede ink
The Yippee is stamped in Early Espresso
The shading around the boots is Soft Sky ink and a blender pen. This idea comes from Susan Itell.
The ends of the top layer are torn and sponged with Soft Suede
The “lasso” is Linen Thread looped around and secured with a Glue Dot.
And that is the building of my card. I hope you enjoyed it. I love reading your comments and very much appreciate them. If you have any questions, please contact me.
