Stamping 411 Sketch 246 ~ Creative Elements

Hi Everyone,
I’m excited about today’s sketch. It’s fun and easy and I’ve chosen one of my fav stamp sets.
Here is the sketch:
SSC_246 …and my interpretation.
sketch 246 and event pictures for Christina and me 012
I’ve used the Creative Elements Set which I so enjoy creating with. Sure makes it easy to creative something beautiful.
  • I stamped the flower three times and cut to three different sizes in Rose Red, then popped each layer up with dimensionals. then added one of our new Jumbo Pearls.
  • The black mat is cut to 3 3/8 x 4 5/8 then I added a piece as an afterthought using the Ribbon Border Punch at the bottom of it.
  • The Very Vanilla Image Piece is cut to 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and stamped with the flourish and colored in with my Aqua Painter and Crayons. I love color layering like this. So fun!
  • I stamped the Thanks from Rue des Fleurs in Black Stazon as well.
  • My Black strip down the center of the card is actually black cardstock and cut to 1/2 x 5 1/2 .
  • I added the image layer with dimensionals and added the flower.
  • To finish it off I added tiny little pearls to the flourish where possible to give it that little extra touch.
  • I then attached my double bow done in Black Satin Ribbon to the top with glue dots.
  • My card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and is Very Vanilla
I hope you like it. Please make sure to hop on over to Stampin 411 to see what the other talented Operators are up to an hopefully play along. We’d love to have you visit!!

Everybunny….Awwwwwww!

Hi Everyone,

I’ve got a cute little share for you today. I can’t wait to show my customers how to totally cut a card using the Framelits Dies. Cool huh? I’ve used the set “Everybunny” on this cute card. Hope you like it.

cards 3-5-12 008   cards 3-5-12 006 see the beading that is embossed around the bunny….cute huh? You can get the Designer Frames Embossing Folders during Sale–a-bration !!!

You know I saw my friend Sandi MacIver’s card made with this set and loved the brown bunny with the purples…so had to do my own take on it. Thanks for the inspiration Sandi. Make sure to check out her vibrant card. It’s so fabulous.

Hope you enjoyed my little share today. If you need to order any of the supplies needed for this card make sure to visit my online store. It’s easy.

By the way my double bow was made using the bow maker sold on my right sidebar.

Have a  great day and hope to see you back soon.

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #245

Can you just even believe it’s Friday already? Where did this week go? I think I need a few more hours in the day to get done what I need to, don’t you?

Anyway it is time for our Stamping 411 Sketch challenge. I hope you will take the time to play along this week. It’s tons of fun. At least take a peek at what the other Operators have done…they are amazing.

Here is the sketch…

Sketch 245

…and my sweet interpretation. I think it’s sweet because of the colors….pink and green….oh yes!

245

One of my all time favorites sets is Her Expressions. So easy to use and work around. I just love how delicate it is.

The card base is Wild Wasabi and cut to 4 1/4 x 11 and folded in half after scoring on the Simply Scored. I them added a some Blushing Bride cut to 4 x 4 1/2and added a strip of DSP cut     to 1 1/4 x 4 to the bottom of it. I stamped the saying with Black Stazon onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock cut to 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 and the green mat to 1 3/8 x 2 5/8. The image piece is again stamped with Black Stazon on to Whisper White Card stock cut to 2 x 3 . I did a little Maker layering and coloring. I did light green and added just a touch of the dark green towards the bottom of the leaves. Can you see? The green mat beneath is cut to 2 1/8 x 3 1/8. The flower layer was taped to the card and the saying was popped up with dimensionals. the cute bow is attached with a glue dot. The little circle was stamped with a little stamp from a set called Mixed Bunch in Blushing Bride and mounted on a circle of Blushing Bride cardstock. The I popped it up with a dimensional.

I hope you enjoyed my share today. It’s my Birthday and I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to all you March Birthdays out there!!! Have a wonderful weekend.
