You Are Amazing & Happy Forest Friends

 My project for today features the Happier Than Happy stamps & Dies along with the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper.

I am absolutely loving this beautiful set!  The colors are so fun and bright and cheery!

I began by using Calypso Coral as my card base measuring 11 x 4 1/4 and scored at 5 1/2.

Basic White cardstock measures 5 1/4 x 4 and the next layer is DSP cut at 5 x 3 3/4.

The envelope flap was stamped with the leaf stamp.

I stamped the ribbon with a leaf stamp and wrapped it around the strip.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies and adhered over the bear.

The strip of cardstock is Basic White at 4 3/4 x 2 and layered with DSP at 4 1/2 x 1 3/4.

A piece of Calypso Coral cardstock  measuring approximately 2 1/4 x 2 1/2 is tucked under the strip.

The bear was stamped with Calypso Coral ink.  Isn't he just the cutest?

He was adhered with dimensionals.

The card front was finished off by adding the Brass Butterflies.

Inside the card I used DSP at 5 1/4 x 4 and Basic White cardstock at 5 x 3 3/4.  I stamped the same leaf image in the lower and upper corners.

I hope you enjoyed my card project for today.

Thank You Card & Tea Boutique DSP

 Hello Saturday!

Any fun plans for the weekend?

I'm just chilling and enjoying the beautiful weather!

Today I'm sharing a project created using the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper (DSP) along with various dies.

I love layers and trying to find ways to incorporate lots of layers by using different dies and dimensionals.

The card base is Petal Pink cardstock layered with the Tea Boutique DSP measuring 5 1/4 x 4.

The next layer is hexagon dies which were embossed with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder.  Once I had those in place where I wanted them, I worked on the frame.  Vellum was cut just a bit smaller than the frame opening and adhered to the back of the frame.  Then I started stamping and die cutting various flowers and leaves.  The daisy flowers were stamped first then punched out using the medium Daisy Punch.

I layered two daisy flowers and adhered with dimensionals.  The leaves were tucked under the flowers.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut and using the silver trim I threaded it through the holes and around the DSP.  Dimensionals were adhered under the sentiment.

Smaller flowers were stamped with Petal Pink and Sweet Sorbet inks and die cut and adhered with both liquid adhesive and dimensionals.

The petals of the daisy leaves were curled under using my bone folder.

A closer look shows the embossed hexagons.

Inside the card is Basic White measuring 5 1/4 x 4 with a strip of DSP on the left.

I hope you enjoyed my project for today.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope my card inspired you in some way to create a card or two as well!

Cutest Angled Tri-Fold Belly Band Card & Elephant Parade Stamps & Dies

 It's Friday!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous start to the weekend.  It's going to be beautiful weather all weekend in Central North Carolina!  Yay!

The card project I created for today is an angled tri-fold with belly band card (that's a mouthful) which features the Elephant Parade stamps and dies and the Hues of Happiness DSP.  This is my spin on a fun tri-fold card.

Because I added the sentiment with dimensionals on the top portion of the card, the belly band has to slide downward off the card, which really shouldn't be a problem.

I started off with the card base in Fresh Freesia cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 11, scored at 3 3/8 & 7 5/8.

For the angles at the top of this fun fold, measure 1 1/2 in. from the score line with a pencil and cut at a diagonal from the score line to your pencil mark.  Repeat on the other side.

The belly band measurements are 1 x 9 1/2.  I folded it around the card very loosely so it would slide off easily.  Simply wrap the cardstock around the card and adhere.  Then have fun adding your die cuts and embellishments.  Using the Scalloped Contours Dies I created the base to adhere to the belly band.  Then, after doing lots of die cutting, added the different elements until I achieved what looked best to me.  The elephant and balloons were adhered with dimensionals and of course, Pastel Pearls were added to finish off the belly band.

The cute little elephants and mouse were colored using the following Stampin' Blends: Smoky Slate Lt & Dk, Granny Apple Green Lt, Daffodil Delight Lt, Gray Granite Lt & Dk, Fresh Freesia Lt, Pink Pirouette Lt & Petal Pink Lt.

The card didn't look right unless I added "something" on this flap, so I added grass and another one of the cute elephants holding balloons.  He was also adhered with dimensionals.

Here's the card opened up.  No card is complete without adding a few die cuts on the inside of the card.  I added the green ribbon from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack (I believe it's Granny Apple Green), a tiny butterfly at the top of the card (so it can be seen when the tri-fold is closed) and a cute little mouse with grass behind him.

I hope you enjoyed my card and will give this angled tri-fold card a try.

Which Card Do You Like The Best?

 Hello and happy Wednesday!

Lots of fun events are happening at Stampin' Up!  Find out more at the end of this post.

Today, I'm sharing TWO cards using the Abigail Rose DSP and Cottage Rose stamps & dies.  Stampin' Blends were used on one of the cards and the other was stamped using Smoky Slate ink pad.

Which card do you like the best?

I would love to hear from you!  Leave a comment below to let me know.

The Abigail Rose Suite is so elegant with lots of neutral colors.  You can purchase it at my online store now... here's the direct link to all the wonderful products in this Suite, plus you can shop around for even more wonderful products!

I started with the card base in Smoky Slate with Basic Black and Petal Pink cardstock.  The Petal Pink was embossed using the  Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder.

The images and sentiments were stamped using Smoky Slate.  I used the Stylish Shapes Dies for the sentiment.

I apologize for the lighting.  For some reason, these photos have a bluish tint to them.

The image was colored with Stampin' Blends - Light So Saffron, Light Soft Succulent and Light and Dark Petal Pink.

Looking at them both right now, I really can't decide which I like the best.  They're both elegant with or without the colored image.

Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon was wrapped around the bottom portion of the DSP then the sentiment layered on top.  My cards were finished off by adding Iridescent Pearls Jewels.

The inside of the cards are both the same.  I chose to match the inside of the cards the same as the outside.

I hope you enjoyed my project for today.
