Beautiful Friendship and Best Dressed

Hi, Friends!  In this time of social distancing, I've had a lot of time to make some cards.  I combined my favorite designer series paper with my favorite stamp set.  I'm pleased with how it turned out!



Supplies

  • So Sentimental Stamp Set
  • Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stitched so Sweetly Dies
  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock
  • Highland Heather Cardstock
  • Whisper White Cardstock
  • Best Dressed DSP


Instructions




1. Make a card base using Gorgeous Grape Cardstock.  (4.25" by 11" scored at 5.5").  Glue a piece of Whisper White cut to 4" by 5.25" on the inside.



2.  Cut a piece of Highland Heather Cardstock (mine is from my non-Stampin' Up! stash but the closest I had.) to 4 and 1/8" 5 and 3/8".  Glue this to the front center of the card base.  Cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock to 4" by 5.25".  Glue this on top of the Highland Heather piece. Cut a piece of Best Dressed DSP to 3 and 7/8" by 5 and 1/8".  Glue this to the center.  (Woah that was a lot of cutting and pasting.)



3.  Using a scrap piece of Whisper White stamp Birthdays are the best days from Beautiful Friendship in Tuxedo Black ink.



4. This is where it gets a little tricky.  I love the look of the Stitched So Sweetly rectangle dies but there isn't one that fits my sentiment.  I started out by lining up the die with the top of my sentiment.  I ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot.  Be careful when peeling off the tape so you don't rip the paper like I did.


5.  I made this picture extra big so you can see what's going on.  I lined up the bottom of the die to where I wanted it.  Be careful to line the ripples up or it will cut funny.  (I made that mistake with the next step.



6.  I wanted to back my sentiment in Gorgeous Grape so it would stand out on the front.  Using purple crafting tape, adhere the Whisper White piece to Gorgeous Grape.  Place the next size up rectangle where you want it.  Place a piece of purple tape on the die and papers.  Run it through the Big Shot.  Line up the bottom like in step 5.  You can see where I didn't line my ripples up exactly.  It wasn't super noticeable so I kept it for this card.



7. Stamp Wishing you much happiness today and always from So Sentimental on the Inside of the card in Tuxedo Black.


8.  Adhere the front sentiment to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. And you're done!

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.

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
