Friendship Planter

Rosanne June 17, 2016 June 17, 2016Cards

Happy Friday! Hope you are looking forward to a fun Father’s Day weekend. Ours will be quiet. We started a new tradition this year and celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day together, which we did two weekends ago. Our girls have spouses and significant others so this allows them to celebrate with both sets of parents and we get to have the whole family together…which doesn’t happen too often anymore.

My card today is for the Global Design Project #040 Case the Designer Challenge…

This is such a beautiful card that Shawn created, I wasn’t sure what exactly to CASE. The colors are so pretty as is the coloring and shading. However, I love this image so that’s what I decided to go with.

The card base is Calypso Coral with a Whisper White mat embossed with the Brick Wall embossing folder. A little sponging with Crumb Cake ink brings out the bricks nicely.

The flower image is from the Butterfly Basics stamp set and stamped in Early Expresso ink. I colored them with Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Write markers. These were fussy cut! The planter is a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that I just cut on a diagonal on each side and embossed with the Woodgrain folder. After embossing, I sponged it with Crumb Cake ink. For the top edge, I cut a label from the Project Life Cards & Labels framelits and then cut it in half horizontally and glued it to top of the “planter”.

The sentiment is from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set and is heat embossed with the new copper embossing powder, which is so pretty, then cut it with another framelit from the Project Life Cards & Labels framelits collection. A couple of Calypso Coral candy dots are a nice accent.

The inside is embellished with a little bit of stamping and coloring as is the front of the envelope. This really doesn’t take too much time and I think it makes the card so coordinated and complete.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and I hope you enjoyed my card share for today.

Until next time…take care,

Jar of Thanks

Hello….hope you are having a good week. We’ve been having spectacular weather lately. That is up until today. It’s a stormy day but no complaints here. My flowers and vegetable are getting a healthy watering.

To brighten the day, my card is a cheerful thank you note. This is my entry to the Paper Players #299 color challenge.

This color combination is so appropriate for the upcoming summer holidays, but I don’t send cards for those holidays and I do send most of the cards that I make. So I made a summer thank you note…

The Jar of Love bundle was the first item on my wish list when the new catalog came out. I am a Mason jar hoarder and have boxes of them. I do use some of them when I put up preserves during the summer as different fruits come in season. But I probably will never use all that I have. So this set really spoke to me and doesn’t take up as much room as the real thing.

The card base is Whisper White thick cardstock. The blue gingham paper is from My Favorite Things Gingham paper pad and the dark blue border on the sentiment is Night of Navy. The sentiment, which is from the new Mixed Borders stamp set, is stamped in Real Red ink.

The jar is stamped in Smoky Slate ink on vellum. I used the middle size jar in the collection and cut it out with the coordinating Everyday Jars framelits. To give the jar a little more definition, I sponged some Soft Sky ink all over it. The flowers are cut from the Bloomin’ Hearts thinlits and the leaves are from the Everyday Jars framelits. I used Real Red and Old Olive cardstock for the flowers and leaves. Basic Pearls were the perfect centers for these flowers.

The inside sentiment is also from the Mixed Borders stamp set. The font is so very pretty. I embellished the front of the envelope using another image from Mixed Borders. This is such a cute, as well as, useful set.

I hope this card brighten your day a bit, too!

A Bloomin’ Set of Notecards

Rosanne June 15, 2016 June 15, 2016Cards

Comments: 14

Today’s project share is a set of notecards using my still favorite flower stamp. The beautiful flower in the Birthday Blooms stamp set which came out in the Occasions catalog is one of those stamps that has so much life in it and can be used in so many different ways.

I am entering this project in the Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge. The Challenge is celebrating it’s 1st Anniversary this week with a Card Makers Choice…

So I choose this set of notecards!

As mentioned above the stamp set is the Birthday Blooms set. The sentiments are also from the same set. I stamped the flowers in Basic Black Archival ink and colored them with the new In-Color markers in Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum along with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive for the leaves. The coloring was actually very relaxing. Three simple sequins finish it off.

Since the inside was going to be blank for a personal note, I just added a strip of cardstock and DSP from the In-Color Designer Series Paper Pack.

The envelope flaps are also embellished with the DSP. I should note that these cards are the 3.5 x 5 notecards and envelopes.

Sets of notecards are my favorite kind of cards to make. Usually because I am going to gift them to a friend. This is exactly what I did with a set of 6 of these. My friend Robin, also a stamper, celebrated her birthday last week and I sent these to her. That is by far the best thing about this hobby…sharing!

Thanks for looking in today and I hope that you have the opportunity to share some of your creations with others.

Take care,

Rosanne

Flourish of Flowers

My card today is my entry for the Pals Paper Arts #304 sketch challenge…

The set I used on this card, Flourishing Phrases, is quickly becoming a favorite. I used it on this card here also.

The card base is Whisper White thick cardstock with a mat of Rich Razzleberry. The DSP is from the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper. I stamped the flower in Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum and Blushing Bride to give a little bit of an ombre effect. The flowers were fussy cut and the leaves are Pear Pizzazz and cut from the coordinating Flourish Thinlits.

I wasn’t sure where to put the sentiment while still following the sketch, so I decided to just stamp it directly on the flower in Rich Razzleberry ink.

The inside is embellished with a strip of Rich Razzleberry and DSP. I left it blank for a personal note.

The envelope flap is decorated with more DSP. I also stamped the same flower on the front of the envelope…just a little hint of the handmade goodness inside!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you can find sometime this weekend to make something special.

Take care,

Rosanne
