IM370 – Hearts of Elegance

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a fun bowl of sewn fabric hearts!

HEARTS OF ELEGANCE

I really like the hand-made look of these sewn hearts!  Some designer paper and ruffing up the edges of my cardstock achieved a similar look!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Poppy Parade cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Toadstool Gardens 6×6 Designer Paper was added to the front.
  • Two hearts were cut from Marbled Elegance 12×12 DSP using the medium Hearts of Elegance Die.
  • Two hearts were cut from Basic Beige cardstock using the medium Hearts of Elegance Die.  They were stamped with the Hearts of Elegance greetings in Poppy Parade Ink.
  • Each of the edges were roughed up by using my fingernail.
  • The top two hearts were adhered to the front and the bottom two hearts were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Two small hearts were cut with the Classic Weddings Die from Basic Beige cardstock and adhered to the striped hearts.
  • A trio of Antique Pearls were added in the background.

 

It was kind of fun recreating these hearts with paper!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

IM369 – Terrific Toadstools

By | 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a whimsical mushroom print!

TERRIFIC TOADSTOOLS

Of course, I had to pull out my Terrific Toadstools stamp set for this challenge!  But I love the soft pinks and purples that are featured!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Toadstool Gardens Designer Paper was added on top.
  • A 2 x 4 piece of Bubble Bath cardstock was torn across the top, stamped with the greeting in Petunia Pop Ink and added to the bottom of the DSP.
  • The large toadstool top was stamped with Petunia Pop Ink, the medium and small toadstools with Highland Heather Ink.  The stems were stamped with Pool Party Ink and the leaves with Fresh Freesia Ink.  All were hand-cut.  You could use the punch for some of the pieces, but I wanted the white outline around them so they popped off the background.  All were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Several of the white Adhesive Backed Sequin Trio embellishments were added in the background and along the ground.

 

So fun…love how this turned out!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

CSF853 – Sketched Butterflies

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  This week is a fun sketch challenge…looks like a pocket card to me!

SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES

I’ve had this Sketched Butterflies Bundle for a while and think I only used it one time!  It worked out pretty well to combine the butterflies with the FREE Sale-A-Bration 12×12 Bloom Inspirations Designer Paper!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Highland Heather cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • I used the small butterfly cluster image to randomly stamp them with Highland Heather Ink around the top portion of the base card.
  • The Bloom Inspirations DSP was cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2, then cut on the diagonal (save the other piece for another card!)  It was adhered to the front of the base card with Tear & Tape on the two sides and bottom creating a pocket.
  • A 3/4 x 4-1/4 strip of coordinating Bloom Inspirations DSP was added across the bottom.
  • For my pocket pieces, I cut 2-1/4 x 4-1/4 pieces of Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo cardstock.
  • Next, I cut a 2 x 4 piece of the coordinating DSP and added it to the Melon Mambo one.  Then cut a 2 x 4 piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the greeting along the top in Highland Heather Ink.  I also stamped a small butterfly in Memento Black towards the bottom and colored it with Peach Pie and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.  It was added to the Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
  • The medium, side and small sized butterflies were stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White and colored with Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the dies and added to the front and the pocket pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The medium and small detail butterflies were cut with the dies from Peach Pie cardstock and adhered at the bottom of the DSP pocket piece.

 

  • Some Two-Toned Sparkle Gems were added to the bodies of each butterfly.
  • Tuck the pocket pieces inside the pocket with the butterfly wings slightly hanging over the edge as shown.

 

 

This designer paper is SO pretty and the butterflies coordinated so well with it!  OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.

HEARTS OF ELEGANCE

Here’s another quick and easy Hearts of Elegance card!  Hard to tell in the photo, but the large heart die has three rows of stitching along the edge!  Fancy!  I liked it cut out of the DSP, too!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cherry Cobbler cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock is embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • The large, stitched heart die is cut from the Marbled Elegance Designer Paper.
  • Some Gold Twisted Thread is wrapped around the heart (helps to secure it in the back before you tie it) and then a bow tied in the upper right corner.  A Mini Glue Dot keeps it secure on the front.  The heart is then added to the front at an angle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The Hearts of Elegance Be Mine greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Melon Mambo and cut with the smaller heart die.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Heart Sequins were added to the heart and the background.
