Milestone Birthday – 10 years old - B10a


I’m going to make Shark punch art or maybe they are Whale punch art cards for my 10 year olds.  For my first one, I followed Blinkin',Thinkin', & Inkin' pattern on her blog.

Body – wide oval cut in half in Basic Gray.

Teeth – large oval punched then snipped with scissors in White.

Eyes – ¼” circle punch in Black, white gel pen highlight.

Lower fins – small oval cut in half.

Top Fin – 1-1/4” circle punch.  Punch again to get curves on both sides (put on a post it note so you can hold on to it).

Tail – Full heart – re-punched on both sides with a large oval (put on a post it note so you can hold on to it).

Sun punch – by Carl in Marina Mist.

Font for 10th – computer generated size 21 in Calibri.  Punched it out with the ½” circle punch.

Stamp – Party This Way with Black ink on Baja Breeze cardstock then punched out with the Word Window punch.  I used the Wish Big phrase from the Bring on the Cake stamp set for the inside.

The card is Baja Breeze.  I cut the Daffodil Delight with the Top Note die, sponged it in gray then put it through the Tim Holtz Rays EF.  I ripped a piece of Marina Mist, sponged it in gray and put it through the Swiss Dots EF.  Added a layer of glue then dipped it in Dazzling Diamonds to the ripped edge.

One Hour Card Class - White on White Wedding Card OHCC005


Here is another card I found on Pinterest.  It is a hard one to photo since it is a white on white card!  It really is just gorgeous in person!

Stamp: Greetings Galore - retired (for the inside).

Ink: Basic Grey (for the inside).

Paper: Whisper White, White Mulberry (non SU!).

Accessories: Stampin’ Dimensionals, Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits die, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, sequins, white grosgrain ribbon, Pencil, Gently Falling EF.

Cut out a heart from Whisper White cardstock using the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits.  I used a Cuttlebug to cut this.  My sandwich was as follows: A plate – C plate – die cut side up – wax paper – cardstock – B plate.  It cut beautifully with a few passes through the Cuttlebug!  


Cut 2 large flowers and 5 small flowers.  Curl the flowers by gently bending petals to the right side.  Set aside.



Place Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the 5 flower areas on the wrong side of the heart die.  Curl the edges of the heart die towards front.



Card base is Whisper White.  Cut a panel of Whisper White 3-3/4” x 5”.  Emboss with the Gently Falling embossing folder.  Cut ribbon at 15” long.  Tie around panel, about 1“from the bottom of panel and make a knot.  Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the panel.  Adhere to card front.

Adhered the flowers to the flower spaces.  Add a smaller flower on top of the larger ones.  Top each flower with a sequin using a small dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.


We made an envelope from white Mulberry paper – remember that incredible stuff?  5588


As one lady said, you need to work with layers, texture and dimension when working with a white on white card (or color on color).

Milestone Birthday – 9 years old – B09e


Here is my last Ladybug card.  This one was inspired by mychicnscratch.  I cut the Certainly Celery DSP 4 x 51/4” then scalloped the bottom. Here is the poem I used for this 9 year old card also from The Quote Garden.

They crawl out from warm mulch, just after snow,

In hidings from tunnels row after row;

They rest among dew drops and fly out to bring

Their red spots of colors to gardens of spring.

Happy 9th birthday!

Cardstock: Real Red, White, Certainly Celery, Black, Certainly Celery DSP.

Ink: Versamark,  Real Red, Black.

Stamp: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Memorable Moments.

Accessories: sponge, Swiss Dots EF, black EP, white gel pen.

Punches: 13/4” circle (1 black, 1 red), standard ¼” hole (2 dots), 3/16” crop-a-dile (dots), 1” circle (for #9, head), slot (antenna’s), 11/4” scallop circle, Scallop Edge Border.

SU265 Lucky Duck Baby Card


Stamps: Wagon Full of Fun, Greetings Galore (inside).

Paper: Bashful Blue, Black, watercolor paper, whisper white, Delicate Dots DSP.

Ink: black, So Saffron ink and re-inker, Bashful Blue marker, Tangerine Tango marker.

Accessories: Blender Pen, dimensionals, Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon, Wink of Stella, sponge, buttons, aqua painter.

Punch: Scallop edge border, scallop oval, large oval,

Here is an oldie stamp set – from the 2009 Occasions Mini!

I started out by stamping the duck onto a scrap of Watercolor Paper then trimmed it to 2” wide x 2-3/4“ long.  I water colored the duck and used the markers and Blender Pen for his bow, beak and feet.  When it was dry. I sponged the edges.

I stamped the wing of the duck on a scrap Watercolor Paper and water colored it. When it dried, I cut it out and used the Wink of Stella in Clear and went over this wing, bow, beak and feet. 
The duck is layered on a 1/4″ bigger piece of blue DSP.  I cut the black panel about 3-1/4” wide by 2-7/8” long, scalloped one long edge and mounted my duck on this.  I believe I trimmed it down a bit more once I mounted my duck image.

My striped DSP was cut at 1-3/4” long by 5” and the yellow DSP was cut at 2” by 5”.  I fit this to my black panel cut at 5-1/4” by 4” and covered my join with a scallop border that was sponged.  I added the ribbon, duck image, buttons and phrase.

The wing was attached to the full image with a dimensional.

Using an Embossing Folder as a Stamp - One Hour Card Class 002 (OHCC002)


I combined a few ideas off Pinterest for this Easter card class however, you could change the phrase to any of the phrases from the Well Scripted stamp set and make it something different. 

Prepare a top fold card by cutting So Saffron cardstock at 4.25” x 11” to make a top fold card.  The card insert and front panel are cut at 5.25” x 4” from white cardstock

To use your embossing folder as a stamp, wipe your ink pad across the raised side of the Honeycomb embossing folder with Tangerine Tango ink.

Place the wrong side of your card on the un-inked side of the folder.

Close the flap.  Rub gently with your hand or use a brayer to transfer the ink.

Open the flap and there you have it! 

The Turquoise ribbon was placed about 2-3/4” from the bottom of the white panel. The 1/8” Turquoise ribbon was cut about 5” long, looped over the existing ribbon so the tails are to the left of the phrase then glued in place. 

Stamp two small flowers in Calypso Coral ink.  Punch out.  Curl petals to the right side. Adhere mounts. Stamp one large flower in Tangerine Tango ink.  Color with the Wink of Stella brush in clear.  Punch out, curl petals to the front, adhere a mount.  Stamp two small flowers, one large and small butterfly in Tempting Turquoise ink.  Punch out.  Curl petals and wings. Sponge a scrap of So Saffron cardstock with Tangerine Tango ink.  Punch flowers using the Trio Flower punch.  Curl petals to the right side. 

 

Adhere flowers and butterflies to the card in a pleasing manner.  Add a large rhinestone to the large flower and a tiny rhinestone to the phrase.  Add Dazzling Details to the remaining flowers and both butterflies.

 

The Envelope Template can be found on my first class (type OHCC001 in the Search box at the top left corner of my blog).  And there it is!  Ready to be signed and popped in the mail!
