Outdoor Edges 01

The Karen Burniston Designer Challenge for this month is Christmas in July.  Here’s a snowy white Christmas card touched with a hint of silver combining one of Karen’s newest dies -Outdoor Edges-and one of Stampin Up’s newest photopolymer sets – Christmas Bliss.

Outdoor Edges 01 detail

To make this card, I embossed a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White using the Large Polka Dot embossing folder. Stamp the greeting in Versamark on another piece of Whisper White and emboss with silver embossing powder.  Die cut the top with the tree from the Outdoor Edges die and then die cut a scrap of Silver Foil card stock with the same die.  Layer the two pieces together so just a hint of silver shows.  Tie a piece of the beautiful Silver ribbon around this piece and adhere to the Large Polka Dot piece with Dimensionals.  Attach to a 4 1/4 x 11 front.  On the inside I layered a piece of Whisper White onto a piece a of Silver Foil, heat emboss the sentiment from Christmas Bliss and adhere to the inside.

Polka Dot Pieces 01

Here’s my last catalog case (for now!) from page 139, using Polka Dot Pieces.  The catalog did some sewing on the bottom of the card.  I chose to machine stitch a piece of Craft card stock and then adhere it to the front.  Instead of just a piece of washi tape, I put mine across the entire front.  The ribbon on my card was Blushing Bride 1/4 cotton that I ran over my Cantaloupe Crisp ink pad.  I should have started with Whisper White ribbon – but the Blushing Bride worked.  I think I’m going to LOVE this ribbon!

Supplies

Stamp Set – Polka Dot Pieces

Card stock – Crumb Cake, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloup, Gold Gimmer, Whisper White, Gold Vellum, In Colors DSP

Ink – Baked Brown Sugar

Etc – Large Dot embossing folder, Banner Framelits, 1/4″ hole punch, sewing machine, rhinestones, Sweet Sadie washi tape

 

I love the combo of looks and feels on this cards.  Hugs, Fran

Mosaic Madness 05

This catalog case is from page 163.  I stuck to the card shown with just a few exceptions.  First of all, I embossed the Shimmery White card stock backwards.  I’d like to say I did it on purpose, but….well….you know how it goes!  So I just went with it.  The funniest part of this story is that my embossing folder had been used repeatedly with Versamark and glitter – which wasn’t completely cleaned off – so it left a beautiful soft glitter/sparkle all over the front of the card!  Love it when that happens!!

Supplies

Stamp Sets – Mosaic Madness, Lots of Thanks

Card stock – Shimmery White, Soft Sky, vellum card stock

Ink – Soft Sky, Early Espresso

I really like how soft this card looks – though I’m not sure I can recreate the sparkle again.  Hugs, Fran

It’s bright, isn’t it?  I used the new Sizzix Thinlit dies, Little Letters, and the numbers from the File Tab Edgelit die to create this card.  File Tab Edgelits only has the numbers 1-3, so if you can use that combo you can combine it with the letters.  The Word bubble is from Age Awareness. 

Supplies
Stamps – Age Awareness
Cardstock – Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Slush, Rich Razzleberry, Delightful Daffodil, Whisper White, Sweet Taffy DSP
Ink – Memento Tuxedo Black
Etc – Little Letters and File Tab Edgelit dies, retired arrow punch, Dotty embossing Folder, Strawberry Slush cotton ribbon, 1 3/4 circle punch, Word Bubble Framelit

I keep forgetting to order the new arrow punch!  Hugs, Fran

On this card you get another glimpse of the new Blendabilities – mostly Coastal Cabana.  They are very intense colors – the lightest leaning towards almost a grayish blue.  I used the Chevron embossing folder and some Coastal Cabana thick twine to finish my card.

Belndabilities – Delightful Daffodils, Old Olives, Coastal Cabanas, Pumpkin Pies, Cherry Cobblers, Rich Razzleberries

Flower Shop 05

This is one of the card I’ll be swapping at the Catalog Preview night on Monday.  It uses Flower Shop and Papillon Potpourri.  I used the Fan embossing folder to emboss the Whisper White ans Wisteria Wonder cardstock together.  There are two stories behind this card – I was going to use smaller pearls on the butterflies, but it seems I have lots and lots of the larger size pearls left, so I used them and they look great!  Since I was making multiples of this card and each card has six branches/leaves, I used MDS and my ecutter to cut 40 leaves at a time.  Just a little background note!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Flower Shop, Papillon Potpourri, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock – Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz
Ink – Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant
Etc – Fan embossing folder, Pansy punch, Bird punch, butterfly punch, pearls, Scallop edge punch, Word Window punch

We are suppose to have a beautiful day today (and tomorrow!)  I’m hoping to get some planting done – and maybe even cook out tonight.  Have a wonderful weekend!  Hugs, Fran

I saw a card that I loved and re-did it using Stampin Up products!  This uses Mixed Bunch stamped on the background in Versamark and embossed in White.  For the flower, I embossed some Crumb Cake with the Distressed Dots folder and punched out some flowers (Blossom and pansy punches)  Then I added Linen Thread and some rhinestones colored with a Copic marker.  The XOXO is from the Circle Thinlit flip die. 

Stamp – Mixed Bunch
Card stock – Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink – Versamark
Etc – Blossom and Pansy punches, white embossing powder, Circle Thinlit flip die, rhinestones, Neutral Button, Linen Thread, Distressed Dots embossing folder, scallop edge punch

I tried the tutorial over at Splitcoast for Dry Emboss Alcohol Resist.  This technique involves dry embossing glossy paper, heat embossing the raised images, airbrushing the design and then removing the color from the raised image.  Lots of firsts-for-me here!  The butterfly is an Elizabeth Craft Design  die that is colored using Silk Microfine glitter.  Me + my cat + glitter = well, use your imagination!  I chose Perfectly Penned to set off this card because I need something large enough to balance it out. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Perfectly Penned
Cardstock – Basic Black, Whisper White, Glossy
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Copic marker, EDC Butterfly die and silhouette,  assortment of Silk Microfine glitters, Beautifully Baroque embossing folder, airbrush, ECD border stickers

Lots of fun to try – and the added benefit of sparkling all day!  Hugs, Fran
