Stamp the wreath flourish across the background paper using red ink.  Attach to a card base.  Cut a card front from the patterned paper, distress the edges, and wrap ribbon around the center.  Tie a bow to the side. Cut three decorative accents with the die set.  Use a matching card front to cut the circular sentiment.  Attach with foam adhesive.  Tuck the die cuts around the right side as shown.  Finish with pearls on the corner of the card. 

Save the Date

I created a wedding dress - as the focal point for this Save the Date card.  You could use this same idea for princess dresses, proms - all kinds of ways!  I added Xyron Magnet tape to the back so this could go on a refrigerator.

Create a tall bag from cardstock, using basic box making techniques.  Cover each side of the bag with patterned paper.  Cut a decorative panel from the paper, and stamp the dahlia centers on each side of the flower.  Trace the design with Dries Clear Adhesive, and sprinkle with glitter.  Hand cut two printed dahlias and shape in the palm of your hand, using an embossing tool.  Apply to the decorative panel with foam adhesive.  Cut two of the fancy hearts from the Timeless Amour set and glue at the top and bottom of the panel.  Add a cellophane bag to hold your goodies and tie off with a bow. 

Elegant Summer Card

 

 Can you believe August is already here? How is the summer going by so quickly? My card today is an elegant summer card, that would work well for any special occasion.

 

 

 The flowers and leaves were all cut with white cardstock, and colored with pigment inkpads.  You can see how this technique really shows off the beautiful embossing of the leaves.

Stamp and cut the Decorative Leafy Frame die.  Dilute a little bit of the Stamp Paint with mists, and paint on the leaves and flowers.  Spray a little bit of plain mist onto your non-stick work mat, and paint the frame with a brush.  Stamp the Dahlia, and color with Gelatos.  Cut to fit the round center opening.  Stamp and cut the leaves, shape and apply to the lower right corner.  Cut the scroll from the patterned paper, stamp the sentiment, cut it apart and glue to the scroll. Mount onto the patterned paper and add ribbon to finish.

Lindy's Stamp Gang July Color Challenge

 

Are you ready for some mixed media inspiration? I hope so, because I've got a canvas to share as well as a video tutorial on my background technique. To be quite honest,  I decided to make the video after my canvas was completely finished - and of course no two projects ever turn out the same, but at least you can learn the techniques that I used.

I saw that Lindy's Stamp Gang was having a Color Challenge - and I was so excited, because I've loved their products for several years now - from the first time I tried them. So here was this month's palate - not my normal colors, but really fun!

Then, before I even had a chance to play along, they really sweetened the pot, by announcing they were having a design team call!  Now my mind started churning with ideas of sparkly, spritzy things, and I decided to make a canvas.

I hope you enjoy my video and find some helpful tips.  For the finished project, I added some Dusty Attic Chipboard - that I spritzed and embossed, and handmade paper flowers created with Cheery Lynn Designs Sweet Williams Flower Strip die.  After the flowers were shaped and assembled, I dipped them in melted embossing powder.

Bluebeard Blue Violet Moon Shadow Mist
Burnished Brass Moon Shadow Mist
Hydrangea Blue Mauve Embossing Powder
Desert Moon Turquoise Embossing Powder
Twilight Jade Slate Embossing Powder

And here is the second canvas that I created for the video.  I haven't finished it off yet, but will be sharing it as soon as I do.

Thanks for stopping by, and wish me luck!

Stamp the Dahlia 3 times, and fussy cut the image. For the base image, leave the flower full sized.  For the next layer, cut away the outer petals, and for the third layer, only keep the very center of the flower.  Add color with the metallic paint (in a very thin layer) and add darker ink to the edge of the petals.  Shape the flower a little, and assemble with dimensional foam. Stamp the leaves and cut with the corresponding die.  Use ink and a foam applicator to apply color to the leaves.  Shape and arrange behind the flower. Apply to the bottom left corner of a 6x6 card.  Stamp the sentiment in the center medallion of the patterned paper.  Layer with another printed rectangle and finish with pearls and a bow.
