Normally I would be posting some Step It Up projects today but I still have two more cards to share during this weekend’s Show & Tell.
AS you can see, there are no waves or pelicans on this card.
I have used a Calypso Coral cardbase to feature the panel of White Vellum that was embossed using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I love the way the folder creates a whiter, almost wax-like, look to the embossed edges.
Then I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to cut several hexagons from the Waves of the Ocean 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. These were then glued into position, on a strip Petal Pink cardstock.
The sentiment banner was stamped and cut using the die from the Waves Dies. I took a length of Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon and threaded it through the banner. A length of white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, was used to hold the ribbon tightly in place.
I added a strip of the DSP to both the card insert and envelope.
The second card today uses a piece of the New Horizons 6″x 6″ DSP for the background. This DSP was placed on a Night of Navy cardbase.
I coloured the pelican using Gray Granite and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Markers™ directly on the stamp. Then I cut this shape using the Waves Dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop the pelican and pylons up on the card front.
The birthday greeting was stamped and cut. Several lengths of Linen Thread were cut before being tied in a knot halfway along the length. After I passed the thread through the other end of the banner, I tied a double knot and trimmed the ends. This gives the greeting a nice chunky finish.
The birthday greeting was attached to the card front with dimensionals.
I stamped the pelican on the envelope and inside the card.
A few of the Pebbles Enamel Shapes were placed at the base of the pylons.
Tomorrow is Monday and that is my day for memory keeping.
Until then, happy stamping.
