Hand-Penned Encouragement Card for #TTTC206

Continuing with my last ditch quest to highlight some Last Chance products, I’m featuring the Hand-Penned bundle.  I really like the sketchy (in a good way) design of the flowers in this stamp set.  Not to mention, it’s a two-step stamp set, so coloring is breeze.

Here’s a peek inside…

  • I hand-cut just the large flower from the fourth stamped floral image.
  • The sentiment is from the retired Special Moments stamp set.

It’s Team X’s turn to design for this week’s Tic Tac Toe challenge.  Here’s the challenge board…

My card qualifies for several different ways.  First column down: Flowers, Embossing, Encouragement, Third column down: Matching Envelope, Ribbon, Gems and Second row across:  Embossing, Yellow, Ribbon

I didn’t use this bundle nearly enough in the two years it’s been available.  But here are a couple of cards I created it with it…

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Thank You Notecards - Rosanne Mulhern Heartfelt Stamping

Happy New Week!  I’m squeezing in a few more projects featuring some of my favorite products that will be leaving soon…like next week soon!  Today’s project is a set of six (two of each color) Thank You notecards created using the floral corner border from the Decorative Borders stamp set in the Mini Catalog.

Here’s the details…

Measure & Cut

  • The card base is a Basic White Notecard, so no measuring or cutting required.
  • Colored card stock panel:  cut at 4 7/8″ x 3 3/8″.
  • Basic White card stock:  cut at 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″.

Assemble

  • Glue the colored card stock to the notecard.  I used Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Pale Papaya card stock.
  • On the Basic White panel, stamp the corner floral border in Versa Mark ink and heat emboss with Black embossing powder.
  • Color the border using Stampin’ Blends.
  • Stamp the sentiment in Black ink.
  • Lastly, add a few sequins or jewels
  • I used another stamp from the Decorative Borders stamp set to simply embellish the inside of the card and the envelope.

These would make a lovely little hostess gift or something special to tuck into a gift basket for Mother’s Day.

Here are a few more cards I created with the Decorative Border stamp set…

Decorative Borders Friendship Card – #TTTC205

Let’s play Tic Tac Toe…the challenge, I mean!  And here’s this week’s board…

And here’s my card…

Stampin' Up! Decorative Borders Friendship Card - Rosanne Mulhern Heartfelt Stamping

I chose the first row across: Slimline, Scoring, Coloring

I really enjoy creating slimline cards and prefer a mini slimline a little more.  So that’s what I created today: a clean and simple mini slimline featuring the retiring Decorative Borders stamp set.  My card also features another retiring stamp set: Peaceful Moments.

Measure & Cut

  • Basic White thick card base:  cut at 7″ x 6″, scored at 3 1/2″
  • Basic Black card stock: cut at 5 7/8″ x 3 3/8″
  • Basic White card stock: cut at 5 3/4″ x 3 1/4″

Assemble

  • Glue the Basic Black card stock to the card base.
  • Score the Basic White panel using the scoreboard.
  • Stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set between the score lines using Memento Tuxedo black ink.
  • Stamp the floral border from the Decorative Borders stamp set 3x in Versa Mark ink and heat emboss with black embossing powder.
  • Cut the floral image.  I used the Brother Scan n’ Cut.
  • Color the whole image using Stampin’ Blends on one of the stamped images and color three of the flowers from another stamped image.
  • Cut the three flowers and pop them over the coordinating flowers to give some dimension.
  • Again, using dimensionals adhere the floral border to the card base.
  • Add a few coordinating gems.

  • The inside is embellished with a piece of DSP from the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper collection.
  • Color another small flower image and glue to the inside panel.
