Jar of Thanks

Rosanne June 16, 2016 June 16, 2016Cards

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 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,

Comfort & Healing

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
