Celebrate Beautiful Friendship Birthday Card

Hi, friends!  Welcome to my first card tutorial!  This month, Stampin' Up! challenged us to do a #simplestamping card.  One of my favorite stamp sets is Beautiful Friendship.  It's the perfect set to just stamp and not add a lot of frill.  I knew exactly who I was going to send this card to for their birthday and they needed a little extra bling.  This card can be tweaked to using only paper, ink, and stamps by stamping the sentiment in black ink in the center.  Enjoy!

Instructions



1. Cut Melon Mambo card stock to 5 1/2 in. by 8 1/2 in. to form card base. Score at 4 1/4 inch on the long side. Fold.


2. Cut two pieces of Whisper White card stock to 5 1/4 in by 4 in for the front cover and the inside of the card.


 

3. Use snail to glue one piece of Whisper White to the inside of the card base.



4. Use the Pretty Label Punch on a scrap piece of Whisper White Paper.





5. Use reusable craft tape (Mavalus Tape or Purple Craft Tape) to tape the Pretty Label to the center of the second 5 1/4 in by 4 in piece of Whisper White. This will be the front of the card.




6. Start Stamping the Beautiful Friendship flowers! I started with the biggest flower first with Melon Mambo. I used an E block.




7. Chose another flower and another ink. I did the Hydrangea with Pacific Point ink.




8. Then use the smallest flower and another ink color. I used Berry Burst.




9. Fill in the card with leaves. I used Granny Apple Green for all of mine. For some, I inked my scrap paper first and then stamped my card to get a lighter color.




10. Remove the Pretty Label. Tap the embossing buddy on the label. Stamp the Celebrate sentiment from the Happy Birthday to You set in the center using Versa Mark. Sprinkle Shimmer White Embossing Powder of the words. Tap off the excess powder. Be careful to not remove any of the Versa Mark. Use the heat gun to emboss. (I didn't realize I had touched the Versa Mark until after I embossed.  Next time, I would have used a darker powder instead of white.)



11. Attach the label to the front of the card using one Mini Stampin' Dimensional on each side.



 12. Spritz the stamped paper with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.


 

14. Use snail adhesive to tape the stamped paper to the front of the card.

Celebrate Sunflowers In Color 20/22

Hi, friends! Can you believe it's already June?  I feel like the year has slowly flown by!  June means it's time for the new annual catalog and In Colors!  I'm so excited to share a new die and colors with you in this project.  The new In Colors are Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Just Jade, Bumblebee, and Cinnamon Cider.  They coordinate with each other well and really pop on the black background.  As always, everything needed for this project is linked below.   I was originally going to use this side of the 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) and then changed my mind.  But, it was too pretty to not show you!                                             Instructions        1. Using the Scrappy Strip Technique by Bruno Bertucci, cut strips of the DSP.  I originally cut my paper to 4.25"x6" but it works better to leave it longer.  They do NOT have to be perfect.  It's better if it's not.

Ornate Garden Mother's Day Card

Hi, friends! This Coronavirus has put me in a funk and haven't felt like making cards lately.  But, I was challenged by Tati to make an instruction video.  It was just the push I needed to get crafting again.  This is my first try making a card and recording myself.  I did edit out some of my mess ups and my puppy making a lot of noise.  Before I post the video, I'm going to post a correction and answers section. LOL Corrections and Answers Card base is 5.5" by 8.5" folded in half. (Standard base) I should say I like Tombow but don't like using liquid glue.  The Tombow brand definitely works really well! Inspiring Iris is NOT retiring but Tea Together and Flourishing Phrases are.  Recipe Whisper White - 5.5." by 8.5", and a scrap to cut the sentiment out from Calypso Coral - 5.5" by .25" and enough to cut out a Stitched so Sweetly die Blushing Bride - 1.5" by 5.5" Ornate Garden DSP - 5.5" by 3.25" If
