Comfort & Healing

Rosanne June 8, 2016 June 8, 2016Cards

I’m back today with a card using one of the new stamp sets, Flourishing Phrases. One of my goals for the new catalog period is to acquire more sentiment sets. I feel like I’ve exhausted the ones I have and need some fresh ones. This set fits the bill. It doesn’t just apply to a certain occasion like birthday or thank you. It has sentiments for just about any occasion, except birthdays.

With this card, I am playing along with the Global Design Project #039 theme challenge and the Can You Case It #123 color challenge….

I wasn’t sure if the color combination would be suited for a get well card, but I think this card is cheerful and comforting at the same time.

The card base is Whisper White thick cardstock with a mat from the new DSP collection, Floral Boutique. This collection is absolutely stunning! I have another goal with this new catalog, to stop saving my DSP and start using it until it’s gone or I have to order it again. This paper will probably fall into the order again category…it is just that beautiful and classic.

The centerpiece is a new Delicate White Doily. These doilies are a bit smaller than the old Tea Lace Doilies and are easier to fit on a card. I stamped the sentiment, from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, directly onto the doily with Night of Navy ink. Then to frame it, I used a circle and a scalloped circle from the new Layering Circle framelits and created a frame around the sentiment. I should also mention that I cut a small circle the same size as the center of the doily and put it behind the doily so that when I glued it to the card you couldn’t see the glue marks or see through to the patterned paper since the doily is a little thinner.

The flowers are from the Petite Petals stamp set and are stamped in Real Red ink and punched with the Petite Petals punch. A few small pearls for the center finishes it off.

The inside sentiment is from the same set. I embellished the inside with a strip of DSP as well as the envelope flap. I’ve said this before, but this is a great way to use the small leftovers of DSP and to present a totally custom coordinated card.

Here’s the Flourishing Phrases stamp set, so you can see the variety of sentiments in this one set. The images are fantastic also and there is a coordinating framelit set, Flourish Thinlits. FullSizeRender

I know this is a set that I will be using over and over….just a warning!

To A Wonderful Man

Rosanne June 7, 2016 June 7, 2016Cards

Comments: 6

Today’s share is another masculine card. I was happy to participate in the Paper Players theme challenge, which is Father’s Day….

This is the second Father’s Day card I’ve made. My dad is no longer here, so the only father on my list is my husband, Steve and he is a wonderful man…so I guess he gets two cards this year!

This card contains current product, retired product and non-SU product.

The card base is Basic Black and the mat is from the retired DSP pack, Go Wild. I cut two ovals in Black and Tip Top Taupe to frame the deer head. I love this deer head. It’s a punch that I purchased at Hobby Lobby sometime ago and this is the first opportunity I’ve had to use it. Stampin’ Up! had a similar image in a Christmas stamp set a few years ago.

The banner is stamped with a sentiment from the retired Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set and cut with the banner framelit from the Large Numbers framelits. A couple of retired candy dots are added to the banner. I popped the deer head up with dimensionals and then popped the whole frame up again on the card.

The inside of the card and the envelope are embellished with a thin strip of cardstock and DSP.

Since this paper is already retired and I had a few other pieces, I made another in a slightly different color. Here are both versions….

Well I think that’s it for Father’s Day for me. Steve’s birthday is in August so that’s probably the next masculine card I’ll be making or maybe he won’t notice if I just give him the second version!

Thanks very much for looking in today.

Until next time…take care,

Look Who’s One

Happy Monday… I am so excited to finally share a card using a bundle I was so excited to order…..

The moment I saw the Foxy Friends stamp set and the coordinating, Fox Builder punch, I was hooked. Then add that they are available as a bundle and I knew this would be on my first catalog order. There is such a trend, not only in the crafting, but also in home decor for woodland animals and this set hits the bullseye! Don’t let the name of this set fool you though. There are so 29 stamps in this set and you can create a number of different critters.

Ok, let’s get to the card…the card base is Pool Party cardstock. The layer of Whisper White is embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder. The strip of DSP is from the coordinating, A Little Foxy designer series paper stack. The patterns in this collection are simply wonderful and can be used in so many different types of cards.

I stamped the Whisper White panel with the sentiment from the Number of Years stamp set before I embossed it. Then I cut the number using the Large Numbers framelits. The fox is stamped in Calypso Coral and Early Expresso and punched using the Fox Builder punch. I glued only the top part of the number to the white panel then slipped the fox around it. The fox is popped with dimensionals.

The inside sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set. I used another pattern from A Little Foxy DSP paper stack for the inside of the card.

Thanks for checking in today…I hope you enjoyed this sweet card and this adorable product suite.

Until next time…take care,

“Homemade DSP” for PPA #303

Happy Friday…this sure was a short week but there’s no complaining here! My project today is my entry for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge….

After looking through my paper stash and realizing that I didn’t have any DSP with these colors, I decided to make my own. I am pretty happy with the results and will definitely be doing this again.

The card base is Sahara Sand with a mat of Night of Navy. The stamped layer is Whisper White. Flower Shop stamp set took center stage with two of the flower images stamped randomly in Mint Macaron and Sahara Sand. Then I used the small flower image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set, inked in Night of Navy, to fill in the white space. With as much as I’ve used the Butterfly Basics stamp set (and it is one of my favorites), this little image has never been inked. Often times there are hidden gems among these stamp sets!

The sentiment banner is Sahara Sand with a border of the retired Mint Macaron Dotted Lace Trim. I thought that this little peek of lace really lent a pretty touch. The sentiment, from the Cottage Greetings stamped set, is stamped in Night of Navy. The Night of Navy candy dots finish it off.

The inside sentiment is also from the Cottage Greetings stamp set. Since I like to coordinate the envelope in some way with the card, I simply recreated the design on the envelope flap.

I hope you enjoyed this project and will consider creating your own DSP on a card…the possibilities are absolutely endless and your card will truly be a one of a kind! If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. I love receiving comments and am always happy to respond.
