Layers Of Beauty - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
It's a double challenge kind of day for today's card. Using the theme from The Paper Players and a color challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments. I wasn't to sure of the color challenge at first because I couldn't figure out a direction to go until I saw the theme challenge but I love how my card turned out & I hope you do as well, even if I used a few retired products.

I started the card with a layer of Basic White Cardstock where I used one of our retired masks from the Foursquare Decorative Masks with Soft Sea Foam Ink & a Blender Brush, to lightly add a subtle background. I took another piece of Basic White Cardstock stamping the largest flower stamp in the Layers Of Beauty bundle using Memento Black Ink, coloring it in with Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight & Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Packs before die-cutting it & layering it onto the previous piece, then cut down some of the hang over of the floral stamp. For the sentiment, I used the retired Sentimental Framing Stamp Set as I wanted a larger stamp to take up some of the open space. These layers were then placed onto a Cloud Cover Cardstock layer followed by a Misty Moonlight Cardstock base. To finish the card, I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Paradise Garden - 2 cards with 1 template

Hello Stampers,
Happy St. Patrick's Day & I don't even have a green card ready to go, shame on me! I really love this template, it's so simple & depending on if you use 2 or 3 pieces of DSP you can get the same amount of cards.

For this card, I chose to use the Paradise Garden Stamp Set with the Garden Poetry DSP along with Blackberry Bliss & Berry Burst Cardstock bases. For the focal image, I used the single flower stamp stamped with Berry Burst Ink first, then used a Sponge Dauber to go around the outline of the flower with Blackberry Bliss Ink, then stamped the smaller flower full color using the ink pads to match the base of the card before using the Nested Essentials Dies to die-cut. For the sentiments, I used the Beautiful Motifs & the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Sets stamping in the color of the bases as well, these were then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals before adding them to each card. Lastly, I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels & retire Sequins Trio to finish the cards.

Here is a diagram of how I cut the DSP. From the top, go down 1 1/4" from the left & 2" on the right. From the bottom, go up 1 1/4" from the left & 2" on the right. Then attach to a 5 1/4"x4" base.

Special Project - 10 Cards In A Card Box

Hello Stampers,
Today I'm sharing 1 of the special projects I've been working on which is a card box with 10 cards/envelopes inside, thanks to Robin Armbrecht's tutorial I found online. The majority of the products I used on this project are retired, so it gave me a good excuse to pull some things out I haven't used in a bit especially the DSP that I have so much of.

Beautiful Gallery DSP - Happy Anniversary

Hello Stampers,
I took a break from a few things I'm working on, that is due by the weekend. EEK! Today's card was inspired by the last Paper Craft Crew's sketch challenge for possibly the 2nd project I'm working on.

I started this card with a Basic Beige Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I chose Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Cardstocks for the banners. For the sentiment, I used the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set stamping it with Smoky Slate Ink onto Basic Beige Cardstock, then banner cut the bottom. To finish the card I use the Metallic Gems in silver.

Nature's Symphony - To A Great Guy

Hello Stampers,
Today's card features a sketch from Jackie Bolhuis using the Nature's Symphony bundle. I thought this set was a good one especially for masculine cards since I don't have a lot of current "guy" sets.

I started the card with a Crumb Cake Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Nature Walk DSP. Instead of using 4 rectangles I used the die that I guess would be driftwood using Mossy Meadow Cardstock. For the focal image, I used the largest stamp with Old Olive Ink to stamp the bush along with one of the sentiments in the set before layering it on Old Olive Cardstock. Lastly, I added a few Mood Palette Dots to finish the card.

Fragrant Layers - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
Today I'm sharing another card using the Fragrant Layers dies, I just love this little window that allows for different looks & today I chose more of the paper piecing look.

I started the card with Basic White Cardstock that I die-cut the intricate window with. Next, I die-cut the flowers using Basic White Cardstock then used a Blending Brush to apply Pretty In Pink Ink. I didn't realize until after doing this I was missing leaves, so I die-cut the 3 different leaf dies using Granny Apple Green Cardstock. Once the paper piecing was finished I layered the whole focal image onto Lemon Lolly Cardstock. before adding the 3 small flowers as the center of the larger flowers. I used last year's 2024-26 In Color DSP to add corners to the Lemon Lolly Cardstock base, then attached the focal image. For the sentiment, I used the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set with Pretty In Pink Ink onto Basic White Cardstock, before die-cutting it using the Wonderful Thoughts Dies & then used Stampin' Dimensionals to attach it to the card. Lastly, I used a few Moody Palette Dots to finish the card.
