Serene Snowflakes

 

Another card that fits the non-traditional color theme over on Latenightstampers!  My upline received a similar card from her upline and I loved it, so had to CASE it!  It uses the Tulipe Bigz Die (ON SALE NOW CLICK FOR DETAILS HERE!) as an accent.  The Tulipe is cut and the center part and Melon Moss part opens up and the Bermuda Bay flap folds down.  Great to hold a gift card!

The base is Sahara Sand at 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 1 3/4 and 7 1/4.  The designer paper is Thoroughly Modern.  The large snowflake from Stampin' Up!'s Serene Snowflakes was stamped in Bermuda Bay on Whisper White, then the trio snowflakes stamped in Melon Mambo.  I layered the Whisper White on Melon Mambo card stock.  Peace on Earth from Four Holidays Stamp Set was inked with Soft Suede Classic Ink.  I added a pink Ice Circle Rhinestone brad in the center.  The Tulipe Bigz Die was cut on the Big Shot with Soft Suede. 

I used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and a sponge dauber all around the edges of the layers, on the snowflakes and on the Tulipe diecut!  It is so pretty in real life.  (AND, good news!…Shimmer Paint will continue to be available as a write-in item in our catalog!  Yeah!  I love that stuff!)

In the second picture, I left the bottom folded up so you could see how the Tulipe diecut was placed, but the flap actually folds down.

Isn't this a fun card?  I'll be using that Tulipe die again that way!

 Well, still trying to catch up on everything for Christmas.  I did get almost all my shopping done…only one more gift to get.  Yeah!

Friends 24-7

 

Well, I’m off to Convention WAY too early this morning!  I’ve scheduled posts throughout the week so you won’t miss me!  I’m not going into great detail on any of them, so feel free to leave me a comment or email if you want more information!

This week’s challenge on Late Night Stampers is to make a Monochromatic card.  When I first thought about it, I didn’t know what to do.  Then, I decided I was thinking too hard and that Monochromatic didn’t mean just one color…but the same color tones. 

For this card, I started with a base of Sahara Sand and layered on Soft Suede.  I then added a layer of Bella Bleu Designer Paper and used the ticket corner on each layer.  I wrapped some Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon around to the back and adhered.  The bird from Friendsd 24-7 was stamped with Soft Suede ink on Sahara Sand cardstock…then I off stamped the damask stamp in that same set with Sahara Sand in the background behind the bird.  This was layered on Soft Suede.  I stamped Here for You with Soft Suede on Sahara Sand and punched with the large Oval Punch, then layered on the Scallop Oval punched from Soft Suede.  It is raised up with Dimensionals.

What do you think?  I think I achieved the monochromatic look!

Just Beachy – LNS Sketch Challenge

Today I worked on the Late Night Stampers Sketch Challenge for the week!  It is one of Mary Jo’s TSSC19 original sketches,  It is a really nice sketch, so I thought I’d have a little fun with it and I pulled out my Just Beachy stamp set.  I’m sad this set will NOT be in the new catalog…so if you want it, get it now!  I made this card for my nephew’s birthday card.  He will be turning 14!  I thought he’d get a chuckle out of it.  It also uses another retiring set, It’s A Sign, for the Prepare to Party words.

I started with a base card of Summer Sun.  I ran the Whimsy Jumbo Wheel with Ballet Blue ink over the Brilliant Blue cardstock to make "bubbles" and layered it on the base card.  I cut smaller layers of Tangerine Tango and Green Galore and layered them together on top of the Brilliant Blue.  I stamped Be Prepared to Party from It’s A Sign with Basic Black on Green Galore and cut out around the shape.  I stamped each of the fish from Just Beachy with Basic Black on Whisper White, colored them with markers and punched them with 1" circle punch.  I adhered all of them to the Tangerine Tango layer.  Finally, I wrapped some Tangerine Tango Striped Ribbon (still available on sale!) and tied a knot bow.  I love how this turned…so bright and fun!

I’m experimenting with my PhotoShop Elements and camera.  When you get this, please let me know if the file is HUGE in your email (larger than normal) by leaving me a comment.  Thanks!

Have a great day!  I’m finishing up details for my Punch Class tomorrow.  I’ll try to get something scheduled to post, but if I don’t..you’ll know why I’m missing!  lol!
