WORD PLAY TIME – #GDP307 – TAKE 2

Hello! I am so pleased that you have taken time out of your day to pop by today.

I shared a card yesterday for the #GDP307 challenge AND I have another one today. It is a card that I also made for the current Colour INKspiration challenge.

How’s that – two for one!

May be an image of ‎outdoors and ‎text that says '‎#106 Basic White Real Red Pool Pool Party שש الاای Night of Navy COLOUR kt‎'‎‎

I used the very clever round scalloped die from the Give It a Whirl Dies bundle for this card. Not only does it cut a stitched scallop shape but it cuts out a circle from the centre of the shape. This gives you a scalloped frame and a circle.

I glued the frames in an overlapping pattern onto a piece of White Vellum. Some of the circles were the glued on the back to add a little subtle colour.

Then I used the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to give this panel some great looking texture. The corners were rounded using the DetailedTrio Punch.

The thank you sentiment and splotches image are from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set. They were stamped onto one of Basic White circles. Iadded a length of Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon under the stamped circle.

I added some of the scallop and circle shapes for the card insert and envelope. Surprisingly I haven’t included any other embellishments on this card.

Another day … another project … another post. I hope that you liked it.

Until next time, happy stamping.

THINKING OF YOU

Hello and welcome! Thank you for popping by to see today’s new project.

For this project I also used the new Scalloped Contours Dies as well as the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper and Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set.

The Designer Series Paper I chose for this card is made up of several leaf and branch images in shades of Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Olive Olive. I used the two scalloped dies (as shown) to cut the DSP and Misty Moonlight cardstock pieces.

The sentiment was stamping in Misty Moonlight onto the same coloured cardstock before it was cut. If you look carefully, you will see that this panel is thinner than the size of the die. I was able to cut it again and reduce the size by repositioning the die and ensuring the coordinating ‘lock points’ on the die align. Then I used Stampin’ Seal+ to wrap the Cinnamon Cider Ribbon behind the sentiment panel, before I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up, over the centre panel.

Three Cinnamon Cider In Colour Enamel Dots were added to each panels on the card front. The last step was to adhere thin strips of the DSP to the card insert and envelope.

‘Thinking of you’ is a sentiment perfect for so many life events. I think I would use this as a sympathy card. What occasion would you use this for?

Happy stamping.

BEAUTY OF THE EARTH

Hello and welcome! I am so pleased that you have popped by for today’s project.

For the next few days I am going to share a number of different cards using the Beauty of the Earth Suite.

The Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper does all the hard work in all the cards I have made. I love the rich, earthy colours in this design. The background design is a forest of water coloured trees in Autumn. The panel, under the greeting, is also one of the designs. There are rows and rows of these trees on the paper.

I cut the vellum trees using the Beautiful Trees Dies. The foliage was coloured using a sponge dauber and the Saddle Brown StazOn ink. Each layer of the tree has some Stampin’ Seal used to hold them together and to attach it to the front of the card. Thenk I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the row of trees panel up for some height. The die cut sentiment, stamp and dies both from this bundle, also had dimensionals added.

The final step was to stamp the tree trunk, in Early Espresso, onto the envelope and card insert. What do you think?

Happy stamping.
