STEP IT UP SUNDAY

I have three more cards today using the same products as yesterday, plus a few more to step the designs up.

Here is the first card.

For this card I added another DSP design. The DSP was cut into three panels and spread across a piece of Old Olive catdstock. Then I added a piece of the same DSP I used on yesterday’s cards.

Before adhering this piece of card to the front of the note card, I wrapped and secured a length of Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon around it.

The greeting was stamped in Petal Pink and then cut using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

For this card, I used another one of the DSP designs and attached it to a piece of Old Olive cardstock.

A length of Old Olive ribbon, from the Twill Ribbon Combo Pack, was attached to the cardstock and a knot tied and trimmed.

I used one of large circle dies, from the Stylish Shaoes Dies, to cut a piece of DSP. It was popped up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and cut with another die from the same set.

Finally, I coloured some Iridescent Rhinestones with the Dark Old Olive Blends pen.

Here is the last card for today.

The Blackberry Bliss panel had banner cut out before it was embossed with one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders.

I stamped the greeting onto a piece of DSP. Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to layer the embossed card up from the DSP. These layers were then adhered to the note card.

I cut some of the long banners, from the Stylish Shapes Dies set, to create the design across the top of the card.

I coloured some of the Iridescent Rhinestones with the Dark Old Olive Blends pen. The last thing I did was tie a tiny bow.

I really like the stitched detailing in the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Tomorrow is Monday and I will be back with a scrap layout to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TUESDAY IS ALL ABOUT TECHNIQUES

Today’s technique is inspired by the amazing Frenchie Stamps. It is the Peel Back Technique and I love it!

THis is the card that Frenchie shared and convinced me to give the technique a try.

May be art of outdoors and palm trees

This week I am featuring the Texture Chic Suite and used some of the Designer Series Paper for the peeled back reveal.

Instead of stamping on the DSP, I stamped some of the leaf images across the Basic White panel.

My first step was the create the peeled back section on the white panel.

After peeling back the cardstock I cut away half of the section to reduce the size of the scroll.

To secure the rolled back scroll, I used Multipurpose Glue.

The next step was to stamp the leaf images in Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Mango Melody.

I stamped the sentiment and cut it using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. A piece of the DSP was cut with a larger die from the same set. I trimmed the top edges, at different angles, to layer them on the card front.

To finish the card, I die cut a leaf outline and added it to the card.

I can think of so many ways to use this new technique and look forward to using it again and again.

Tomorrow I have two projects for you. One is for the Global DEsign Project challenge and the other for the Colour INKspiration Crew projects.

Until then, happy stamping.
