Happy Hibiscus Thinking of You

I created this card for A Stamp Above (Kelly Acheson) January Team Swap.  Every month a different theme is set for the card swap, which makes it so fun!  Plus, when you receive cards back there is so much inspiration and ideas for you to create even more cards!  I really enjoy participating in these swaps!  It's great being a part of Kelly's (Stampin' Up!) Team!

The theme for January is: "Thinking of You/Get Well."

This is what I created using Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Bundle, Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes & Everyday Arches Dies, Bloom Impressions DSP and Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder.

Coastal Cabana was used as my card base with a layer of Daffodil Delight and Bloom Impressions DSP.

The outline of the flowers were stamped with Memento ink.  The large flower was stamped with Coastal Cabana ink.

The leaves were die cut using Summer Splash.  Using a Blending Brush and Pretty Peacock ink, I added color around the edges of the leaves.

The small flower was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink.  The small leaves were stamped with Pretty Peacock ink for the outline and stamped off once onto scrap paper then onto the center of the leaves for a lighter image.

All of the flowers and leaves were adhered onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set, stamped with Coastal Cabana ink and die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies.

The background arch was die cut using Everyday Arches Dies and embossed with Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder.

The flower was stamped with Bubble Bath ink.

For the embellishments, I used Two-Tone Sparkle Gems.


Inside my card is Bubble Bath layered with Basic White.  A strip of DSP was adhered on the bottom.  The flower was stamped with Bubble Bath ink.

Sending Lots of Love

I created this card for...

Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Challenge #662.



For my "Sending Lots of Love" card, I used Stampin' Up Hearts of Elegance Bundle, Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP, Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder & Gold Foil Sheets.

Real Red was used for my card base with a layer of Basic White which was embossed using Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder.

Using a Blending Brush and Real Red ink, color was lightly added around the edges of embossed Basic White.

The hearts were die cut from Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP and Gold Foil Sheets.

White Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon was wrapped around the DSP strip on the right.

The sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink.  To cut around the sentiment, I cleaned the stamp and lay it, face down, on the sentiment and traced lightly around the stamp with a pencil.  Next, I fussy cut on the lines and erased any pencil marks.  Using a Blending Brush and Real Red ink, color was lightly added around the sentiment.

Gold Twisted Thread was looped twice and adhered behind the sentiment, and adhered on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.


Inside my card is Basic White with a strip of DSP along the right.  The sentiment was stamped with Real Red ink.

This beautiful DSP was also adhered on the envelope flap and trimmed.


Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.

Diagonal Cut Cards


Here's my "Hello, Friend" card using Stampin' Up! Storybook Friends Stamp Set & Storybook Moments Specialty DSP.

Boho Blue was used as my card base with the next layer Storybook Moments Specialty DSP.

The focal image was cut from DSP, making this super easy, and layered on Crumb Cake.

The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake with Early Espresso ink, trimmed and flagged on each end.

Embellishments are Iridescent Foil Gems, which was added in the upper left of the focal image.

This is how the card looks opened up.


Inside my card is Basic White with a DSP strip along the right and a die cut image in the lower corner.
