A Little Birdie told me...

6/29/2020

Picture
...that the Birds & Branches stamp set is too stinking cute! I just love these little birds. Today I have sunset birds and mid-day birds. Two very different looks, but both are striking. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Sunset Birds:
For the card above, I created the sunset (or sunrise?) by coloring a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends. I went from lightest to darkest to give the feel of the setting (or rising) sun. I then cut this piece with a die from the Stitched Rectangle dies to give it a finished edge. I stamped the branch and birds with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The image is layered on Flirty Flamingo and Basic Black cardstock before being attached to a Petal Pink card base. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

Cardstock Dimensions:
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Basic Black: 4 3/4" x 3 7/8"
Flirty Flamingo:
  • 4 1/2" x 3 3/16"
  • 5/8" x 2"
Whisper White:
  • approximately 3" x 4 7/8"
  • approximately 1/2" x 1 7/8"
Picture
I love the three eggs tucked in the nest on this card. They are stamped with Pool Party ink. The outline and wing of the birds are stamped with Soft Suede ink. I used Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends to color their bellies. The nest is stamped with Early Espresso while the branch is stamped with Crumb Cake ink. the leaves were added with Pear Pizzazz ink and the flowers are Flirty Flamingo.

There is a lot going on with this card and it makes extensive use of the Birds & More die set for the flowers, the nest, the eggs, the birds, and the trim along the side of the Pear Pizzazz layer. I also added a few pink pearls from the retired Share What You Love Artisan Pearls set. 
Cardstock Dimensions:
Crumb Cake: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Pear Pizzazz: 4" x 5 1/4" with the edge cut with the Birds & More dies
Whisper White:
  • 3 3/8" x 5"

I am lovin' the June Paper Pumpkin! It is all about sharing sunshine to brighten someone's day. It's so bright and cheery and the stamps that are included with this month's kit are awesome!

If you're already familiar with Paper Pumpkin, be sure to check out more photos of the Paper Pumpkin alternatives at the end. 

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit offered by Stampin' Up! Each month, you receive a box in the mail that includes an exclusive stamp set, an ink spot, and all of the paper, adhesive, and accessories to make that month's projects. 
Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin
Often the projects are cards, like this month, but sometimes the projects are small gifts, tags, boxes, or some other paper craft. Stampin' Up! announces the general theme and the nature of the project ahead of time so that you can choose to put a hold on your subscription for a month if it doesn't sound like something that would appeal to you. 

Paper Pumpkin is great for beginners, but it's not just for beginners! Because your Paper Pumpkin box has absolutely everything in it that you need to make the projects, it's perfect for people who have never stamped but want to give it a try. But, Paper Pumpkin is also great for more experienced stampers. If you like to make cards based on a pre-set design - Paper Pumpkin is perfect for that!
Picture

If you like to imagine and create your own card designs, Paper Pumpkin is perfect for that too! Nobody says you have to use the supplies in the box to create the suggested projects. You can combine those supplies with items from your own stash to create even more amazing projects! 

Here are the cards as they were designed to be put together:

And here are all the other cards (and scrapbook page) that I created:

A 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder

6/22/2020

2 Comments

 
Picture
I created these four cards using one sheet of Flowers for Every Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. I used four different 2020-2022 In Colors for the card bases (Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight, Just Jade, and Magenta Madess) and the fifth color (Cinnamon Cider) for the contrasting color. Follow all the way to the bottom for a second set using the Forever Greenery DSP. So, on y go! Let's get stamping. 
​
Here is the cutting diagram to complete the cards. What isn't shown, because I'd already completed the diagram when I figured it out, is that if there is a right way up to the piece of DSP that you choose, it should be towards the right in regards to this diagram, not towards the top. In other words, your images should be laying on their sides in this diagram. So if you can see the stripes on the diagram, imagine that you want them to be horizontal stripes on all of your cards. I hope that makes sense!

When making the cuts, you should make them in alphabetical order. 
Picture
Picture
Card #1:
For this card, I cut the piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock to 2" x 5 1/2". The sentiments for all of these cards come from the Here's a Card stamp set and are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock. Here I punched it with the Label me Fancy punch. I punched a second piece from Cinnamon Cider and cut it in half. I layered one half under each of the sides of the Whisper White tag. 
Card #2:
For the second card, and each of the cards that follow, I used the same piece of 6" x 6" DSP, but I use the front and the back so I have two different patterns. For this one, the 1/2" strip overlaps the wider strip. I mounted the DSP on a strip of Cinnamon Cider cardstock cut to 1 3/4" x 4 1/4". The greeting is cut out with a Stitched Rectangle die. For the ribbon, I wrapped the white linen ribbon around the card and adhered it flat to the card front under where the greeting is. Then, I slipped the gingham ribbon underneath it and tied it in a bow. 
Picture

Card #3:
Here, the three 1/2" strips of DSP are adhered to a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock cut to 2" x 4 1/4". The card base is Bumblebee. I think this might be my favorite new In Color right now. It's so warm and sunny. I punched out the greeting using the 2" circle punch and added a trio of Magenta Madness enamel dots. 
Picture
Picture
Card #4:
The last card has a Misty Moonlight card base. The three strips are adhered to a 3" x 4 1/2" piece of Cinnamon Cider with the two skinnier pieces on the outside. This time I punched the greeting with the Tailored Tag punch. Like the first card, I punched a second tag from Cinnamon Cider cardstock and cut it in half. I attached one half to mat the top half of the greeting and the 2nd for the bottom half.

A Pop Of Patterns with the In good Taste DSP

6/19/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Have you seen the new In Good Taste Designer Series Paper? It's a super-sized package of patterned paper with 12 different double-sided designed and 2 pieces of each design for a total of 24 pieces of patterned paper! Wow! The pack is filled with different wood grains, tiles, and textiles. It is so pretty and versatile. 

Today, I have a card design that you could easily use with any package of Designer Series Paper, but I think it works particularly well with the In Good Taste DSP. 

Picture
I am so excited to be joining an amazing International group of bloggers for the Pretty Cards & Paper blog hop. Each of these designers has created some really cool projects with the In Good Taste DSP. So, after you've had a look through here, be sure to hop around the world and visit each of these other fabulous cardmakers. The full list of designers and links can be found further down. 
Picture
My cards today all use the same basic design with a wave of 6 circles across the front. Here are the dimensions:
  • Card base (Early Espresso, Gray Granite, or Night of Navy): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
  • Card front (Early Espresso, Gray Granite, or Night of Navy): 3 3/4" x 5"
  • Card front layer (Petal Pink or Whisper White): 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"
  • Greeting: Cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies
  • Circles: Cut with the smallest two dies from the Layering Circles dies
For my first card, I used the different wood grain designs from the In Good Taste DSP. Some of the circles are glued flat to the cardstock and others are added with Stampin' Dimensionals. To give a little extra loft to one circle, I added a double layer of Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of it. I embossed the Early Espresso card front with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.
Picture
My second card uses the tile patterns from the DSP on a Gray Granite background. Here, I embossed the card front with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder and I turned the greeting. The piece for the greeting in all three cards has been cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I then used my paper trimmer to cut one end off straight instead of scalloped so that it appears that this piece extends off the edge of the card.
Picture
My third card uses a mixture of tile, textile, and paint canvas patterns, but all of them have a blue tone. I layered these circles on Night of Navy cardstock that I embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. 

When I finished these three cards, I stepped back and thought: "Well, that's pretty good, but what if the circles were shiny like actual tiles?" So, I decided to find out. 
Picture
It's a bit hard to see, but I embossed each of the circles with two layers of clear embossing powder. I found I needed to adhere a circle of Whisper White cardstock behind each circle to help keep the colors true. In the video, I explain this further and show you examples with and without the extra Whisper White cardstock. The shiny look really makes the patterns pop. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Hopefully you can see the difference a little bit better in these side-by-side comparisons. Both of them look pretty, the embossing powder just gives the cards a little different look. 
​
Now, I hope you'll click through and see the projects of all of these other amazing cardmakers from around the globe. Then, stop back here to see the complete list of supplies I used for my cards below the list of bloggers. If you're in the US, each photo links to my online store.
