Well Suited Comfort & Hope

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge #653.  This week we have a sketch.

I decided to use the Well Suited Designer Series Paper for my card.  Since the colors are chose are muted, I felt this would make a good sympathy card.  We hate to need these, but they are a fact of life.

My card base is Thick Basic White measuring 4 1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5 1/2.  Place the fold at the left.

The paisley paper from the Well Suited DSP is so pretty.  I used it to cover the entire front of the card.  Cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I do think there is some directionality to this paper.  I made the paisleys go up and down.

Use the Stitched Rectangles for the panels.  There are 4 dies set by themselves.  Use the second largest of those.  Add with dimensionals.  Start with the far left.  Add the others using dimensionals and glue.  Add glue where the panels overlap and the paper is already elevated.

Stamp the flower spray from the Forever Blossoms stamp set on Thick Basic White.  Stamp in Smoky Slate ink.  Color with the Petal Pink Combo and the Soft Sea Foam Combo of blends.  Cut out with the Cherry Blossoms dies.  Glue across the panels.

The saying is from the Comfort & Hope stamp set.  Stamp in Basic Gray ink.  Trim around and glue to the panels.  You might need a dimensional at the far right.

Add some of the Elegant Faceted Gems on the card front.

For the inside of the card, the saying is from Comfort & Hope in Basic Gray.  Add a strip of the designer paper 3/4 x 5 1/2.  Stamp the single flower and double leaf in Smokey Slate and color, cut out, and glue to the inside of the card on the paper strip.

So there you go.  Thanks for your time today.  I am honored.

Here is a teaser for my March class to go.  There are 3 cards.  You can get this set of cards free with a $50 order using the Host Code F3AEYHQU.  You can also purchase the kits to make the three cards for $15 plus shipping.  Included is the card kits and a PDF emailed to you with links to videos for each card.  My Luv 2 Create team members will pay $10.  You will need the Springtime Joy stamp set or some set that you can substitute.  I cannot send stamped images.

Art Gallery Pop-up Card

On my Facebook Live last Wednesday I made a pop-up card using the Butterfly Brilliance bundle.  I didn't have time to share my second card using the Art Gallery bundle.  I'd like to do that today.

I'll give you the basics for this card and then the link to the post and video for the card shared on Saturday.

The base is Pretty Peacock 4 1/4 x 11, scored and folded at 5 1/2.

The box is 3 1/2 x 4 1/4, score at 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, and 3.

Complete the inside of the card first and then add the box.  The saying in the inside is from Friends Are Like Seashells.

The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink and Terracotta Tile ink using the Art Gallery stamp set.  Cut with the Floral Gallery dies.  Stamp the leaf stem twice in Pretty Peacock and fussy cut leaves to place randomly.

On the front, use the Fine Art Gallery Designer Series Paper.  It measures 2 x 5 1/4.  The second panel is Basic White that is 2 x 5 1/4.  Run this through the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

Cut an oval from Basic White using the Stitched Shapes dies.  Stamp and cut out with dies the flower and stem.  Add with dimensionals.  Add a bow of Terracotta Tile from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack with a glue dot.

The saying is from the Art Gallery set and cut using the coordinating dies.  Add with dimensionals.

Free Tuesday Tutorial Friends Are Like Seashells

I love being a part of the Tutorial Medley group.  It allows me to provide the free tutorials on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Today I have a card using the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle.  Oh, the possibilities are endless with this bundle!  The card today was created by me.

I love how this card turned out!  Let me share all the details and measurements with you.

Friends Are Like Seashells

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Friends Are Like Seashells (154368), bundle (156205)

Cardstock: Seaside Spray (150883), Crumb Cake (120953), Basic White (159276)

Ink: Versamark (102283), Seaside Spray (150085), Crumb Cake (147117), Crumb Cake Combo Blends (154882)

Tools & Accessories: Blender Brushes (153611), Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (152475), Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (109129), Heat Tool (129053), Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (152155), Seashell 3D Embossing Folder (154309), Paper Snips (103579), Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (149653), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)

Designer Paper: Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper (154288)

 

Measurements:

Card Base: Seaside Spray 4 ¼ x 11, score at 5 ½, 6 ¾

Cardstock #2: Crumb Cake 1 x 4, Crumb Cake 4 x 4

Cardstock #3: Basic White 3 7/8 x 3 7/8, scrap for sentiment, seashell

Designer Paper #1: Sand & Sea 7/8 x 3 7/8

 

Instructions:

Fold and burnish the card base. Glue the space between the card spine and the next fold down.

In the small space, glue the thin Crumb Cake piece and the Sand & Sea DSP thin strip.

Glue down the large Crumb Cake piece.

On the Basic White large piece, rub over the surface with an Embossing Buddy or a dryer sheet to remove the static.

Randomly stamp the sand dollar and the starfish over this piece using Versamark. Don’t be afraid to go off the edges.

Add the Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and then heat with the Heat Tool.

Trace around the sand dollars and starfish with the light Crumb Cake blend.

Make a mask for the sand dollar and starfish by stamping them on a sticky note making sure that you stamp on the sticky part. Cut out on the lines. I made about three of each.

Cover the images with the sticky notes and add Crumb Cake ink with a Blender Brush. You might need to add color to a section and then move the masks to another area. Also add the Crumb Cake dots while images are covered. Keep working until the whole layer is covered.

Glue this layer down on the Crumb Cake layer.

On scrap Basic White, stamp the seashell in Versamark, add embossing powder, and heat.

Use the dies to cut out the seashell. Parts will still be attached and will need to be cut with snips. You could also choose to just cut out the whole seashell with snips.

Use a Blender Brush to add Seaside Spray ink to the seashell. Rub away extra ink with a paper towel.

Place the cut out in the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder and run through the SU Cut & Emboss Machine. Add the seashell with dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment on Basic White with Versamark, add embossing powder, and heat. Trim the sentiment. Add dimensionals to the back. Add some of the gold twine from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack. You might need to add additional dimensionals to get the sentiment to stick well.

Add Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to embellish.

Tie the gold trim around the designer paper section and tie into a knot. Make a bow and add with a rolled up glue dot. This twine does unravel easily.

For the inside, emboss a sentiment in gold. Add a sand dollar down in the bottom corner as on the front. Trace with a light Crumb Cake Blend, add a mask and the dots and use a Blender Brush to add Crumb Cake color.

Enjoy your beautiful card!

Color Fusers Blog Hop for March 2021

Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop for March. We are using the colors Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, and Early Espresso.  You might have just come from Gail.  If so, wow!  If you are just beginning please visit everyone!

These colors are beautiful together, but I must confess that I had a hard time with them.  I think I came up with a beautiful card.

Start with a card base of Thick Basic White 4 1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5 1/2.

The Gray Granite background is cut from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.  Cut it to fit the front of the card at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.

The next layer of Early Espresso is 3 3/8 x 4 5/8.  The Seaside Spray layer is from the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper.  Cut it to 3 1/2 x 4 3/4.

Stamp the saying from Friendly Flamingo in Early Espresso.  Set it up on the Stamparatus to get a good dark image since you can stamp it more than once.

Make the flowers using the Poppy Moments dies.  Cut 2 of the solid flowers and 4 of the detailed flowers from Basic White card stock.  Use a sponge dauber to add a little bit of Seaside Spray ink to the solid flowers.  Add just a tease of color.  Crumple up the detailed flowers and straighten a little add to the flower by gluing the center only.  Add 2 of these per flower a little askew.  Do this for both flowers.  The centers are cut using the same dies from the In Good Taste DSP.

Cut three leaf stems from Early Espresso.  

Assemble and glue.

Add the layer with dimensionals.

Here's the inside of the card.  The saying is from the Friendly Flamingo stamp set.  Add an additional leaf stem.

I do love how this turned out!  Thanks for joining me.  Our Color Fusers Blog Hop is always filled with wonderful ideas!  Make sure you visit everyone.  Then go stamp something!  Nicolle is up next.
