SU189 Oh So Pretty!

I have wanted to try one of these dresses that I seen a coons age ago! I believe it was on Patty Bennet’s Blog that I first seen it. I suspect she used the Scallop Circle Bigz Die by SU!. I had already invested in the Nesties scallop circle dies so I never bothered with SU’s! I can’t find the Search Box on Patty’s Blog to double check it – I could also be blind! I believe the waist on my dress is a little thicker than what I remember hers as being and that is probably the difference in the dies.

Stamp Sets: No stamps used.
 

Cardstock: Yo Yo Yellow, Black, Vellum.

Ink: No ink used.

Accessories: White grosgrain, Black grosgrain, Yellow Button Brad, ¼” hole punch, Crystal Effects for Faux Brads, Round Tab punch, Nesties scallop circle die, Small Oval punch1/16” hole punch, Script Embossing Folder, Elegant Bouquet SU! Folder, mount, corner rounder.

SU169 Brayered Debossing

I had never heard of the Brayered Debossing Technique so I had to give it a try.

Use a wet cloth and pat a fair bit of water to the smooth side of the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die - too much water will make the ink run into the grooves and not enough water will do nothing so experiment. Brayer Cameo Coral ink over the wet surface.

Put glossy cardstock in the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die and run thro the Cuttlebug.

I sprayed the rose with a glitter spray that I had in my stash, before trimming. Cut from the opposite side as you have the embossed edges to guide you.

Stamp Set - Birthday Wish.

Ink - Cameo Coral.

Paper - Cameo Coral, White Glossy.

Accessories - wide oval punch, Glitter spray (non SU!), Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Die,1/4" circle punch and Crystal Effects to make Faux Brads.

SU176 Your Friendship

Used the Level 2 Wings of Friendship Hostess set for this card. It was a fun card to make! I swiped the edge of the main image with the LL ink instead of sponging. I stamped the yellow flower on a scrap and used a mount under it.  Added Faux Brads.

Ink - Lavender Lace, So Saffron.

Stamp - Wings of Friendship.

Accessories - CM oval cutter, 1/4" circle punch, Crystal Effects, mount, Scallop edge punch, Large oval punch, Scallop oval punch.

SU173 To Have and To Hold

Another of Mojo's Sketches #60. Thought my bride and groom fit the pattern quite well! I put the white background cardstock through the Swiss Dots folder. I wanted it a little softer looking so I removed the cardstock from the folder, set the folder on top of the dots and ran it through the cuttlebug again. It flattened the dots & left me the background I was looking for. The scan doesn't show it very good. And you guessed it ... those are Faux brads again!

SU168 Congratulations

Don't think I am done with the Manhattan die as yet ... I still have a couple techniques I want to try. I will move onto Grad for today though. There’s nothing particular about this card. I am pleased with how it turned out though.





Faux Brad Technique

Punch 1/4" circles from cardstock.  Glue to card.

Add a drop of Crystal Effects to the punched circle, just enough to cover the circle.

Allow to completely dry.

Stamp Sets: Great Grads, Congrats.
Accessories: 11/4" circle punch, used the Coluzzle for the outside circle, 1/4" circle punch, Classic Stars jumbo wheel, sponge, Crystal Effects.
Ink: White Colorbox pigment ink, Real Red, Black Memories.
Cardstock: Black, Real Red, White.

Idea from Chrissyd723 card.
