Thinking of You- "I'm Not Old, I'm Vintage" :-)

Hi Again Stampers! 

This card was created using the CC519 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge along with the PPA241 PalsPaper Arts Sketch and the FM199 Friday Mashup! "I'm Not Old, I'm Vintage" Theme.

Again, if you have not had a chance to visit the above sites, I hope you will find the time to do so- they have excellent Design Teams as well as gallery entries!!

To create this card:

Using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the image onto Whisper White cardstock, color using Stampin’ Write Markers (Blackberry Bliss, Pool Party and Pear Pizzazz) and add a few white highlights with the White Gel Pen.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Oval Frame Collection Framelits™ to cut out the image as well as another frame from Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  Cut the Blackberry Bliss frame in half, adhere behind the image and distress with the Distressing Tool. 

Use a Sponge Dauber with Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink to “antique” paper.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Lovely Lace Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of retired Etcetera Designer Series Paper.

 Distress the edges using the Distressing Tool and a Sponge Dauber with Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink, add additional ink onto the embossing as well. 

Mount the panel onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock, distress the edges with the Distressing Tool and adhere to the Whisper White card base. 

Use a Sponge Dauber to add Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink over the Whisper White card base edges (to “antique” the paper).

Trim a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and emboss with the retired Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder.  Distress the edges using the Distressing Tool and adhere to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  Distress the edges of the Blackberry Bliss with the Distressing Tool and sponge Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink over the edges to add a bit more distressing :-)

Add a bit of lace to the embossed panel along with a strip of ⅜” Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding.  Mount the panel onto the card front.

Stamp the sentiment using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.  Add the banner using the Hexagon Punch and mount onto Blackberry Bliss cardstock, again, adding the banner points using the Hexagon Punch. Adhere the sentiment over the image and mount the focal image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

 Add the rolled flowers (created with the 2 ½” and 1 ¾” Scallop Circle Punches from Blackberry Bliss cardstock along with leaves using the Bird Builder Punch from Pear Pizzazz cardstock) to the card front (I used Hot Glue to adhere the flowers to the card).

Add the Pearls to the corners of the sentiment and background to finish off the card.

Ink: Memento™ Tuxedo Black, Baked Brown Sugar; Stampin’ Write Markers- Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party; White Gel Pen

SUO90 Vintage Thank You- Seven Punches for Punch Parade :-)

Hi Stampers! 

It’s that time again, a new SU-Only Challenge!!  The SUO90 Challenge is Punch Parade and normally I would have opted for a traditional punch art card but decided to be a bit more deceptive with my punches :-)

Can you guess that I have incorporated seven punches in this card – do you see them all? Yes, there are a total of seven different punches along with an embossing folder used for this vintage card.  



To create this card: 
  

Use the Postage Stamp Punch and punch out nine postage stamp pieces from Basic Black cardstock- adhere to a piece of Whisper White cardstock. 

Use the 1” Square Punch to punch out nine 1” squares from a piece of the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper (DSP) and adhere to the postage stamp pieces created in the above step.

Distress the pieces using the AquaPainter™ to apply diluted retired Tea Stain Vintage Ink to “antique” the DSP and perimeter of the Whisper White cardstock. Once dry, emboss the entire panel using the Big Shot™ with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and mount onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.

Stamp the tea party image using Basic Black Classic Ink and color with the Crushed Curry, Blushing Bride and Pistachio Pudding Stampin’ Write Markers.  Add a bit of distressing using the AquaPainter™ to apply diluted retired Tea Stain Vintage Ink and cut out the image using the Big Shot™ with the Ovals Collections Framelits™.  

Cut another oval from Basic Black cardstock using the same size oval framelit, cut the Basic Black oval in half (horizontally) and layer behind the tea party image.

Use the new Scalloped Tag Punch to create a tag from Basic Black cardstock and add the layered oval focal image onto the bottom of the tag.

Stamp the sentiment from Wetlands using Basic Black onto Whisper White cardstock, distress with the Tea Stain Vintage Ink and Gorgeous Grunge splatter image using Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink.  Cut the banner using the Hexagon Punch and mount onto a layer of Basic Black cardstock (trimming the Basic Black to create a frame for the banner sentiment).

Mount the banner sentiment above the tea cup (covering up the original sentiment on the focal image stamp) and set aside to create the rolled flowers.

To create the rolled flowers:  

The larger roses were created with the 2 3/8” Scallop Circle-punch two from Raspberry Ripple and one from Blushing Bride cardstock.  Starting on the outside, cut a wavy spiral towards the center, crimp twice with the retired Crimping Tool and start to roll up from the outside edge toward the center.  Again, hold in place using the Hot Glue Gun or Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive.  If needed, here is a basic written tutorial at Splitcoaststampers for the rolled roses. 

Take the same steps as above for the smallest roses (three from Blushing Bride cardstock and one from Raspberry Ripple cardstock)- use the 1 ¾” Scallop Circle Punch to punch out the roses from the cardstock and use the same instructions above for completing the roses.  Distress the roses a bit with the AquaPainter™ to apply diluted retired Tea Stain Vintage Ink to the petals. 

Use a Sponge Dauber with this ink as well to “distress/antique” the leaves as well. Use the Bird Builder Punch to punch out the leaves from Pistachio Pudding cardstock.

Add the Tea Lace Paper Doily to the card front (sponge a bit of the Tea Stain Vintage Ink onto the doily, use the retired Crimper Tool to crimp a scrap piece of Basic Black and adhere this layer over the cut edge of the doily.

Add the piece of Tea Lace Paper Doily to the top of the tag and the dots along the edge using the Chalk Marker.   Mount the focal tag image to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and use Mini Glue Dots, or I have been using my Hot Glue Gun- it has been resurrected!,  to add the leaves first, then the roses to around the edge and top of the tag. 

Add the strand of pearls to the crimped Basic Black Layer to finish off the card.

So there you have it, seven punches, one card - new Scalloped Tag, 2 3/8” Scallop Circle, 1 ¾” Scallop Circle, Bird Builder, Postage Stamp, 1” Square and Hexagon. 

Stamp Sets: Tea Party, Gorgeous Grunge

Ink: Basic Black, Baked Brown Sugar, retired Tea Stain Vintage Ink, Stampin’  Write markers- Blushing Bride, Crushed Curry, Pistachio Pudding, Chalk Marker
