All Aflutter - Sincere Thanks

Hello Stampers,
Today I'm sharing a card for the last Creativate pre-challenge which was to make a pocket card. It's a great idea for a card & the pocket can hold a handmade bookmark, gift card or something small enough to fit inside your pocket & you can have your message inside as well like a regular card.

I started my card with a Basic Beige Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Petal Pink Cardstock. For the pocket, I used Basic White Cardstock with Paper Medley DSP. For the "bookmark," I again used Petal Pink & Basic White Cardstocks, then stamped the butterflies from the All Aflutter Stamp Set & the sentiment from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set using Petal Pink Ink. I used the Scalloped Bloom Dies to make a flower die-cut & added another sentiment from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set using Calypso Coral Ink then popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.


This is what the card would look like once the bookmark or whatever you decided to make would look like once the object is removed.

Delicate Dreams - Happiest Birthday Wishes

Hello Stampers,
Today I'm sharing a card that was supposed to be shared yesterday, but life & time got in my way to finish the post. This card was made for a Creativate pre-challenge where we were to let the DSP do all the work based on the sketch. This DSP has been on my "need" list for a while, but it was always sold out when I would remember to add it to my order, this last order I was lucky!

I started with a Secret Sea Cardstock base, then used the Delicate Dreams DSP to add a strip to the base. Next, I used the same piece but flipped to the floral side & added it to a Hydrangea Hue Cardstock layer before adding it to the base. For the sentiment, I used the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set with Secret Sea Ink to stamp onto Basic White Cardstock, used the Three Banner Punch to punch it out & then added Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Lastly, I added a few Moody Palette Dots (Secret Sea) to finish the card.

Beautiful Gallery - Thinking Of You

Hello Stampers,
Sorry, I didn't get a chance to share this card with you yesterday, I was doing everything I could to stay cool & never made it back into my craft room. It's been pretty miserable & I feel so bad for my feral colony, but I'm doing my best to keep them cool.

I'm sharing the Shadow Blocking technique today, I've heard it is a quilting term, but don't knock me if it's not true because I will be seen nowhere near a sewing machine. LOL! I started the card using a Basic Beige Cardstock layer, cutting a piece of Beautiful Gallery DSP into 12 squares, along with a piece of Mossy Meadow Cardstock. I attached all the DSP pieces to the cardstock, lining them up on the layer until I liked the layout, then glued them down & attached the layer to a Mossy Meadow Cardstock base. Next, I took a small piece of Basic Beige Cardstock & used the now retired Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set to stamp a sentiment with Mossy Meadow Ink, then used the 3 Banner Punch to punch it out, cutting the end off one side & popping it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few retired Solid Faceted Gems (Mossy Meadow) to finish the card.

Cutest Crew - Just A Little Hello

Hello Stampers,
Today's card was made for a Creativate Summer pre-challenge using the Cutest Crew Stamp Set.

I started off with both a layer & base of Basic White Cardstock. On the layer, I added a few 1/4" stripes of Lemon Lolly, Barely Blush & Balmy Blue Cardstock, added the bird stamp just above the stripes with Smoky Slate Ink before coloring them in using Lemon Lolly, Barely Blush, Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. For the sentiment, I again used Basic White Cardstock & Smoky Slate Ink to add one of the set sentiments & to add the little bird tracks, layered this onto Lemon Lolly Cardstock & popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added a few Array Of Dots (Lemon Lolly) to finish the card.
