Happy Thanksgiving- Three in One!

Hi Stampers! 

Another week and finally a chance to stamp and catch up on a few of my favorite weekly challenges! 

I wanted to create a card using the beautiful colors from this week’s ColourQ CQC111 Challenge along with the FMS11 Sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.   I also decided to add a Rosette (had so much fun making these for the Friday Mashup! FM33 Challenge)….again, if you have not already checked out these sites, take a few moments to visit- the Design Team samples as well as all of the other entries are just fabulous! 

To create this card:

Use the Big Shot™, emboss a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder with a piece of Pear Pizzazz. 

Using Versamark™ ink, stamp the leaf images onto Whisper White cardstock and heat emboss with Stampin;’ Emboss® Clear Embossing Powder.  Once the embossing has cooled, randomly apply Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink using the Aqua Painter (push the lid of the inkpad to the pad to lift the ink with the Aqua Painter).  Lightly wipe the excess ink from the embossed areas and heat with the Heat Tool to dry the watercolor.  Stamp the background stamp with Crumb Cake Classic Ink and finish the focal image with the seal using Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink.

Mount the focal image onto Whisper White, stamp the sentiment with Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink and layer the pieces onto the Whisper White card base.

Cut three pieces of Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper into 6” x ½” strips.  Use the Simply Scored™ tool to score every ¼”, fold and adhere together at the ends.  Draw up the circle into the rosette, use a Pop-Up Glue® Dot to hold the rosette and press an Antique Brad into the center to hide the glue (I removed the prongs on the back of the brad).  Use another Glue® Dot to adhere the rosette to the card.

FM33- Gratitude with Rosettes

Hi Stampers!

Boy, does time fly when you are having fun (or extremely busy)...  This is my third week already as a Guest Designer for the Friday Mashup and I am having so much fun seeing all of the gorgeous creations that have been submitted!

Holly has come up with a wonderful sketch and to “Mash it Up”, you can add  Rosettes.  I personally had never made a Rosette before but had seen many of them on cards, wreaths and other 3D projects, I could not wait to try :-) !

 

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a project using "Paper Rosettes".
2. Or Make a project using "the Sketch Above".  
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Project with the Sketch using Rosettes".

* Here are some tutorials on Paper Rosettes if you aren't sure how to make one. 


*From a Border Punch , 
*From a strip of Pattern Paper   
* PDF - instructions 

To create this card:

Use the Big Shot™ with the Snow Burst Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Very Vanilla, Early Espresso and Pool Party cardstock. 

Cut strips of Spice Cake Designer Series Paper into strips (remember that the final Rosette will be twice the width of the strip).  Using the stylus with the Simply Scored™ Tool, score every ¼” to create the score lines for the folds on the Rosettes.  Flatten the Rosette and use a Pop-Up Dot to hold the Rosette in place. 

For the smaller Rosette, adhere a flower punched with the Boho Blossom Punch from Early Espresso Cardstock, insert the Antique Brad and adhere to the card front. 

Ink the small floral stamp with Early Espresso ink and stamp off several times before stamping onto Very Vanilla cardstock.  Stamp the sentiment with Early Espresso and punch out with the Decorative Label Punch layering onto Early Espresso punched with the same punch.

Spray the entire card with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint spray to finish off the card. 

This card is definitely one that would have to be hand delivered due to the bulk but I do believe that I will have to make more Rosettes in the future!  I hope you like this card and try this technique yourself- how about this week and join us at the Friday Mash Up!
