Poetic Petals - Hello

Hello Stampers,

I'm sorry I've been MIA this week! I did manage to get today's card done for this week's Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic InstaHop featuring Lost Lagoon, which is one of my top 5 favorite colors. You can go to my Instagram page to get the links of the other participants to show them a little love.

I used the Poetic Petals Bundle for this card & used the Fractured Card technique. For the diamond, I used the Poetic Petal Dies to die cut the focal image & the background with Basic White & Lost Lagoon Cardstock. The diamond was then put onto a Everyday Essentials DSP layer, then I used strips of Basic White Cardstock to go around the diamond. I couldn't figure out how to add the sentiment but then realized that the "hello" from the Poetic Petals Stamp Set was just the right size to fit on the strips, so stamped all 4 strips using Lost Lagoon Ink. Once this layer was completed I added it to a Basic White Cardstock base.

Elegant Leaves - Triple Step Technique

Hello Stampers,

Today is the final day of showcasing the Eternal Leaves Stamp Set & this card was made for this week's Crafty Collaborations for Pretty Peacock on Instagram.

I chose to make the card with the Triple Time technique, which is stamping on 3 layers at once, then adding layers in between to cover the border areas that really don't get ink. I used the Elegant Leaves Stamp Set to stamp one of the leaves outline all over the card & added the sentiment to the top layer using Basic White Cardstock with Pretty Peacock Ink. The layers & base of the card use Pretty Peacock Cardstock. Lastly, I used Array Of Dots (Pretty Peacock) to finish the card. To see what other demos made for this hop, please go to my Instagram link & click on the card to see a list of participants.

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.

Beautiful Gallery - Thank You

Hello Stampers,

Today's card was made for this week's The Paper Players sketch challenge that I also used the Double Vision technique on.

For this card, I chose to use Basic White, Secret Sea & Cloud Cover Cardstocks, with the Beautiful Gallery DSP. The background layer of Secret Sea & Cloud Cover Cardstocks was embossed using the retired Paint Texture 3D Embossing Folder, then attached to the Basic White Cardstock base. I used the floral sheet from the Beautiful Gallery DSP & like the card the other day used the remaining pieces of the Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up every other piece which was layered onto Basic White Cardstock. I chose a sentiment from the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set, stamping with Secret Sea Ink onto Basic White Cardstock then fussy cut the banner end. Lastly, I used a few Moody Pallette Dots in Cloud Cover to finish the card.

Beautiful Gallery - Happy Birthday

Hello Stampers,

I've been seeing these cards around so I thought I would try it, they are called Double Vision or Eclipse Cards. I've made several Eclipse cards using the letter dies but not like this.

I chose to use a scenic DSP called Beautiful Gallery, but I have seen it with some other DSP that has 2 pages the same. I cut the DSP down to 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 to have a cardstock border behind the DSP. One of the pages I cut into 1/2" pieces, then used Stampin' Dimensionals (the leftover part when all the pieces are used up) or you can also use the Foam Adhesive Strips, then attached to a Lost Lagoon Cardstock base. I used the upcoming Rounded Rectangle to punch out a piece from Lost Lagoon Cardstock, then stamped it using the upcoming Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set with Memento Black Ink. I attached this to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals & Multipurpose Glue.

SWEET OLD FRIENDS - T-I-DOUBLE GUH-ER

Hello Stampers,

Today is all about my favorite character & giving you a sneak peek to a new stamp set coming in May! I started going one way & then bounced my way in a different direction to end up making a shorter but longer slimline card, that will probably end up somewhere in my craft room. LOL!

To make my card I started with a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, then used the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set to stamp Tigger all over the layer, then die-cut his name using Party Alphabet Dies. The background was then added to a Basic Black Cardstock base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I attached each letter using Stampin' Dimensionals back in the spot they were die-cut from which creates an eclipse look which is also what the technique is called.

 

I hope you have a lot of bounce in your step today!
