Ladies Card Ministry- Card #2- Butterfly Birthday

Hi Again Stampers! 

Here is the second card of three that we created at our recent Ladies Ministry Card Making class- if interested, more details on the event and the first card are located here :-)

To create The Butterfly Masking Technique card: 

Stamp the outline flower from Stippled Blossoms onto a piece of sticky note paper and cut around the outside petals (remember to leave some of the sticky strip).  

Ink the outline floral stamp using Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink and stamp onto the corner of a piece of Whisper White cardstock, re-ink the stamp and stamp again into the opposite corner.  Cover the stamped images with the mask and re-stamp the other flowers without re-inking the stamps to fill in the white spaces.

Use a Sponge Dauber with Melon Mambo Classic Ink to softly color the flowers and sponge Elegant Eggplant over the edges.  Mount onto a piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock,

Use the Big Shot™ along with the Lacy Brocade (retired) Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Adhere to a piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock and add to the Whisper White card base.

Stamp the butterflies using Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the Elegant Butterfly Punch.

Stamp the sentiment using Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out using the Large Oval Punch.  We actually used the Thank You for Your Kindness stamp in the class since the Dress card used the Happy Big Day sentiment :-)   

If you create as shown, mount onto two ovals punched from the same punch and overlap to allow the edges to show.  If you use the Thank You for Your Kindness stamp, the Decorative Label Punch will create the 

Lightly sponge the edges with Elegant Eggplant Classic Ink and adhere to the bottom right hand side of the focal panel .

Mount the focal panel to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and adhere the butterflies using Mini Glue Dots.  Add the Pearls to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: Stippled Blossoms, Papillon Potpourri, Wetlands

Ink: Elegant Eggplant, Melon Mambo

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant

Accessories: Big Shot™,  Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder (retired), Punches- Elegant Butterfly, Large Oval, Sponge Daubers, Pearls, Ribbon (from my stash)

Thanks again for visiting- I will post the final card shortly :-)

Ladies Card Ministry- Card #1- Happy Big Day!

Hi Stampers!!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week so far!!  I wanted to take the time to share a few cards that we created at our Ladies Ministry Card Making event this past weekend.   Our ministry was for primarily for the ladies of our church to have a chance to fellowship and have fun creating cards but it could easily be modified to a card making ministry for outreach as well.  I am going to post the cards in separate posts so it will be easier to link from other galleries :-)  

To create the Happy Big Day Card:

Ink the script background from Notable Notions using Island Indigo Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Emboss using the Big Shot™ with the Framed Tulips Textured Impressions™  Folder and mount this background onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock. 

Using the Big Shot™ with the Dress Up Framelits™ to cut a dress from Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper (I used a piece 4” wide by 3 ½” long) and cut a horizontal strip from the scrap of this piece once the dress is cut out.  

Cut the horizontal strip in half (the dress will cover up the cut) and flip over to the opposite side, layer onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock (we used scrap strips of Island Indigo at the top and bottom of DSP pieces versus a solid piece of cardstock). 

Layer this horizontal strip onto the card along with the sentiment (stamped from Chalk Talk with Island Indigo Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits™). 

Add the ribbon to the dress (I used retired Organdy Ribbon) and attach the dress using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

Punch the flower from Pumpkin Pie cardstock using the Pansy Punch, the center from Whisper White using the ¾” Circle Punch and the leaves from Island Indigo using the Bird Builder Punch.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Perfect Polka Dots folder to emboss the flower and flower center.  Add the leaves to the back using Mini Glue dots and adhere to the card.

Punch the little flower from Island Indigo cardstock using the scallop punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack- add to the bow using Mini Glue Dots and adhere the Rhinestone in the center- a girl has to have diamonds- right- lol!!? 

Stamp Sets:  Chalk Talk, Notable Notions

Ink: Island Indigo

Paper: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie, Quatrefancy Specialty DSP

Accessories:  Big Shot™, Framed Tulips and Perfect Polka Dot Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders, Chalk Talk  and Dress Up Framelits™,  Punches- Pansy, ¾” Circle, Bird Builder, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Organdy Ribbon (retired) , Rhinestone

Thanks again for stopping by and the other two cards will be posted today as well!  Have a great day!!

PPA164- Three Cards from One Terrific Sketch :-)

Hi Stampers! 

What a wonderful weekend so far!!   Yesterday we held our Ladies Ministry Card Making class and had a fabulous time- I will post the cards and instructions later this evening or early Monday (depending on my internet connection during our stormy or threatening of stormy weather :-)).  

In the meantime, I wanted to create a card using this week’s PPA164 sketch at Pals Paper Arts (love their sketches) but once I started, I ended up creating three separate cards with the same sketch- I love it when that happens!!! 

Again, if you have not already visited the Pals Paper Arts site, I urge you to take the time to do so- not only are the Design Team samples fabulous but they also have a wonderful gallery of the entries using this sketch.

To create card #1- Sunflower Sympathy:

Stamp the Sunflower background stamp using So Saffron Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and cut into strips for the sketch.   Carefully cut part of the Whisper White cardstock away from the petals on the ends of the strips and bend the ends upwards.

Use the Big Shot™ to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Pretty Print Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Layer the trimmed Sunflower strips, cut to size and mount onto a piece of Basic Gray cardstock.

Stamp the sentiment from Love & Sympathy onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and punch out with the 1 3/8” Circle Punch.  Layer two 1 3/8” Circles from Basic Gray cardstock behind the sentiment to create a frame.

Layer the So Saffron cardstock to the card base, add the Basic Gray cardstock layer, the Designer Series Paper (from the Eastern Elegance series) and add the focal image layer along with the sentiment.

Add the Pearls to the corner and sentiment to finish off the card. 

  

Stamp Sets: Sunflower (background), Love & Sympathy

Ink: So Saffron, Basic Gray

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Basic Gray, So Saffron, Eastern Elegance DSP

Accessories: Big Shot™,  Pretty Prints Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder,  1 3/8” Circle Punch, Pearls

To create the second card- Masculine Thank You (already gave this card to a man who does so much for others and we are so blessed to have him in our lives...)

With the Big Shot™ and the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder, ink the smooth interior of the folder lightly using Early Espresso Classic ink and emboss a piece os Sahara Sand and Soft Suede cardstock.  Gently distress the edges using the Distressing Tool and sponge Early Espresso Classic Ink over the edges to “antique or age” the cardstock.

Cut the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper into strips and distress the edges with the Distressing Tool.  Tear the outside edge by hand and sponge Early Espresso Classic Ink over the edges, again, to further “age” the paper.

Mount the cardstock strips to the Sahara Sand Woodgrain layer, add the three Antique Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware brads and mount onto the Soft Suede Woodgrain layer- add this panel to your card base.

Stamp the clock from Clockworks (I used a previously printed and cut out clock from MDS that I had on hand)- color the brass areas with the Summer Starfruit Stampin’ Write marker and lightly age the clock face using a Sponge Dauber with Sahara Sand Classic Ink.  Add a few highlights with the White Gel Pen and sponge Early Espresso over the Summer Starfruit areas to “antique” the clock.

Add the Gold Trim (retired years ago) as a clock chain along with the sentiment to finish off the card.     

Stamp Sets: Clockworks, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Ink:  Early Espresso, Sahara Sand, Stampin’ Write Markers- Summer Starfuit

Paper: Sahara Sand, Soft Suede,  Soho Subway Designer Series Paper

Accessories:  Big Shot™,  Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing  Folder, Sponge Daubers, Antique Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware (retired), Gold Twine (retired)

To create the third card- Trust in The Lord Musical Medley 

Use the Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Modern Medley Designer Series Paper(DSP). 

Mount this layer onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and again onto Basic Black.

Cut the strips from the musical note paper from the Modern Medley DSP and adhere to the card per the sketch.

Stamp the verse from Trust God using Basic Black Classic Ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock, punch out with the  1 3/8” Circle Punch and add the additional 1 3/8” Circles from Basic Black and Very Vanilla behind the sentiment to create the frame. 

Use the Big Shot with the Chalk Talk Framelits™ to cut the frame out of Basic Black, add the sentiment and 5/8” Basic Black Satin Ribbon bow.

Add to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals™ and add the Pearls to finish off the card. Quick and easy- again, I love the simplicity of this sketch!!

Vintage Sympathy- Something Old, Something New

Hi Stampers! 

I wanted to create a card using the PP154 colors at this week’s Paper Players Challenge and decided to incorporate five different stamp sets along with one of my new favorite Framelits™- Chalk Talk.  Some the the stamp sets- Everything Eleanor, Ex Libris and Teeny Tiny Wishes have been around for a while ad are "old" favs and the new sets, Best of Butterflies and Lovely Romance are working their way into my favs :-)

If you have the time, and have not already done so, check out their The Paper Players site- the Design Team and other entries are wonderful for this fresh color combination!!

To create this card:

Stamp the flowers from Everything Eleanor and the butterfly from Best of Butterflies using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Watercolor using the AquaPainter™ with ink from the Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pads- add Moonlight Smooch™ Pearlized Accent Paint to the wings of the butterfly. 

Carefully cut out the flowers and the butterfly.  Gently roll up the butterfly wings to give it a more realistic look.

WIth Polka Dot Ribbon Bow 

Using Bermuda Bay, ink the medallion stamp from Lovely Romance, stamp off and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.  Use the Big Shot™ and the large Chalk Talk Framelit™ to cut a label from the stamped image and another one from Bermuda Bay cardstock.  Cut the Bermuda Bay label in half vertically and layer behind the stamped label.   Ink the antennaw only on the butterfly stamp and stamp towards the bottom left hand corner.

Use Sponge Daubers with Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink to distress the paper a bit and tone down the Whisper White. 

Stamp the Ex Libris background stamp using Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink onto Baked Brown Sugar cardstock.   Distress the edges using the Distressing Tool and mount onto a piece of distressed Bermuda Bay cardstock.  Using the Sponge Dauber with Baked Brown Sugar to distress the edges a bit as well.

SUO75 Wishing You Well

Hi Stampers! 

The Stampin’ Up! Only Challenges theme for the SUO75 Challengeis Get Well Cards.  It seems as though I never have enough of these on hand so it was a perfect time for me to create one for my stash :-).

I hope you have a chance to stop by to visit SUO-OnlyChallenges to see all of the details and the other Design Team creations and play along with us!  

To create this card:

Original card without butterflies 

Use an AquaPainter™ to add Pool Party paint onto two pieces of Whisper White cardstock.  

Once dried (I use a Heat Tool to speed up the drying process), ink the background stamp from Notable Notions using Early Espresso Classic Ink, stamp off and repeatedly stamp over the watercolored area.   

Ink the solid floral image stamp from Field Flowers using Calypso Coral Classic Ink and stamp off before stamping on the script watercolor background (may need to stamp off a few times to lighten the ink).  Stamp the stem image from Field Flowers using Early Espresso Classic Ink and color with the Stampin' Write Gumball Green marker. 

Use the Big Shot™ with the Window Frames Framelits™ to cut out the watercolored focal frame and cut another piece the same size Framelit™ from Early Espresso Cardstock.  Cut the Early Espresso cardstock frame in half to layer behind the focal panel with the layer showing at the top and bottom of the frame.

On the remaining watercolored background piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the sentiment from Thoughts and Prayers and use the Big Shot™ with the Chalk Talk Framelits™ to cut out the sentiment and cut another one from Early Espresso cardstock to create the frame. 

****  REVISION ****   Thanks Jamie for noticing that I totally omitted the flower instructions- so sorry everyone!!      

Stamp the line image flower from Field Flowers using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. 

Revised with butterflies ;-)

Watercolor using the AquaPainter™  and picking up ink from the Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral Classic Ink pad.   Once dried, carefully cut out the flowers by hand and highlight the center of the flowers and the top of the leaves a bit using the White Gel Pen.   Adhere the flowers to the focal image using Stampin' Dimensionals® (curling a bit before adhering).  

Stamp the butterflies using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Vellum and flip the image over and place on top of the Pierce Mat.  Carefully run the Stylus Tool over the entire image as if you were embossing by hand to bring out the white of the vellum and punch out using the corresponding Bitty Butterfly and Elegant Butterfly Punches.  Bend the wings up a bit before adhering to the card using Mini Glue Dots.  

Add the Antique Brad and adhere the sentiment to the card on an angle using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Adhere the Pearls to the corners of the sentiment layer, the butterflies and focal image frame to finish off the card.

Vintage Thinking of You- Flowers in the Subway :-)

Hi Stampers! 

I wanted to create a card using the new Soho Subway Designer Series Paper(DSP) and thought that it would pair well with one of my new favorite sets, Flower Shop.   The colors of the DSP seemed to work well with a vintage style card (one of the easier styles for me to design).  

I decided to use this week's sketch #12  from a new challenge site for me, Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge - love sketch challenges and if you have a chance, check them out!!  

To create this card:

Stamp the flowers and butterfly using Early Espresso Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and watercolor using the AquaPainter™ with ink from the Crisp Cantaloupe and Blushing Bride Classic Ink. 

Carefully cut out the flowers and roll the blossoms upward a bit- add the Antique Brad to the center of the flowers.   Use the Elegant Butterfly Punch to punch out the butterfly and pinch the wings upward as well. 

Use the Big Shot™  and the large Chalk Talk Framelit™ to cut a label from Early Espresso cardstock and the Soho Subway DSP for the label portion of the card.  Cut the Early Espresso label in half vertically and layer behind the DSP allowing the cardstock to create a frame and add the 5/8” Triple Satin Ribbon Bow.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White and sponge additional Crumb Cake Classic Ink over the embossed areas.   Distress the edges by hand and layer onto a piece of Early Espresso cardstock . 

Add the corresponding piece of Soho Subway DSP at the bottom of the background panel, add Tea Lace Paper Doily (cut in half) along with the 5/8” Satin Ribbon to cover the cut edges of the cardstock/DSP.

Mount the tag to the background layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals®, add the sentiment banner along with the flowers and butterfly.     Adhere the Pearls to finish off the butterfly body and the corners of the card.

Stamp Sets: Flower Shop, Papillon Potpourri, Wetlands

Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Blushing Bride, Crisp Cantaloupe

With Heartfelt Sympathy- A Color and A Sketch Challenge

Hi Stampers!!

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week so far!!  I wanted to create a card with this week’s DD60 Dynamic Duo Challenge Colors  along with the Fab Friday FabFri21 Sketch.  

**** Disclaimer **** Oh no!  I just realized as I loaded this post and visited the Dynamic Duos site to retrieve  the URL for the color challenge that I mistakenly used Daffodil Delight instead of Summer Starfruit (hope I am not disqualified..all I wrote down in my notebook was Bright Yellow...)  Sorry Dynamic Duos!!! 

I love doing challenges since it forces me to go “outside my box” so to speak and since I tend to gravitate towards a vintage style, these bright colors are definitely out of my normal comfort zone (plus I already had quite a few scraps previously embossed in these colors so this card was a quick one to create)!

I chose to flip the sketch over completely- from what I understand, it is the general rule of thumb that you are allowed to flip the sketch.   If not, sorry Fab Friday!!

If you have not visited either site yet, I encourage you to do so- you will be in for a treat!!

Initial Card- see below for 2nd version :-)

 To create this card:

Stamp the bird image using Early Espresso Classic Ink and color with the Stampin’ Write Daffodil Delight and Gumball Green markers.

Center the large Chalk Talk Framelit™ over the bird image and use the Big Shot™ to cut the tag.  Also cut another piece from Gumball Green Core’dinations cardstock and layer behind the bird image.  

Add the embossed flag (I used a previously embossed piece of the Gumball Green Core’dinations paper and sanded with the Sanding Block).

Create the tag sentiment layer using Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper and the Gumball Green Core’dinations along with the sentiment mounted onto an oval frame (from the Large Oval punch). 

Use the Big Shot™ to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder and adhere to a Gumball Green layer.  Add the center panel of Daffodil Delight/Whisper White and Gumball Green.

Layer the tag element along with the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals® and add the 3/8” Gumball Green Stitched Satin triple ribbon bow to finish off the card.

Quick, easy and I am thrilled that I could use up those scraps as well!  

Stamp Sets:  Simply Sketched (hostess)

Ink: Early Espresso, Stampin’ Write Markers- Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green

Paper: Whisper White, Gumball Green Core’dinations, Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper

With Pearls Added :-)

Accessories:  Big Shot™, Woodgrain and retired Finial Press Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders, Chalk Talk  Framelits™,  Punches- XL Tag, Large Tag, Large Oval, 1” Square (for banner points), 3/8” Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon . Pearls (optional- see below :-))

OK, I have to admit that after I took the initial photos of the card, I felt that it was missing something so I decided to add a few Pearls (can't resist the Pearls :-))!!  

If you have the chance, let me know which one do you prefer..... Thanks again for stopping by- have a great Thursday!!

Thinking of You- A Nautical Collage

Hi Stampers! 

I wanted to play along with the Pals Paper Arts PPA162 Color Challenge and decided to use a collage technique and have some fun with a few of our Nautical sets.   If you have the chance, check out the Design Team and other entries at Pals Paper Arts- they are terrific and so inventive!! 

To create this card:

Stamp the lobster image from By The Tide using Real Red onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4 1/2” x 5 ¼” and also onto another scrap  piece of Whisper White.  Use an AquaPainter™ along with Real Red Classic Ink to watercolor both images and carefully cut out (“fussy cut”) the lobster from the scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock- set aside this image for later layering.

Create a mask using a sticky note, place the mask over the lobster image and repeatedly stamp the journal image from The Open Sea using Crumb Cake Classic Ink (mask at angles as you stamp the journal as well).

Ink the globe, anchor and Nantucket images using Pacific Point Classic Ink and stamp around on the page as well, add the compass image using Real Red Classic Ink.    

Position the Chalk Talk Framelit™ over the lobster (I cut his tail out by hand prior to cutting with the Framelit™) and cut out using the Big Shot™.  Cut two other dies from Real Red cardstock with the same Chalk Talk Framelit™ -  cut the lower edge off of one of the tags and then that lower edge piece in half vertically.  Cut the other whole tag in half vertically, angle trim the edge where the opening peeks out, and adhere to the back of the tag to show as a frame. 

Using a Sponge Dauber, apply Crumb Cake Classic Ink over the edges of the tag and the images to distress the white cardstock a bit.

On the remaining piece of collage background, cut a vertical piece and emboss with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.  Apply Crumb Cake Classic Ink using a Sponge Dauber to distress the paper a bit as well.   Mount this onto a piece of Real Red cardstock.   Randomly knot a piece of Hemp Twine (retired) around the images and create the bow using the Hemp Twine and the Antique Brad (set the bow aside).

Stamp the Nantucket images using Pacific Point Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punch out using the ¾” Circle Punch- layer onto Real Red cardstock (create the layer by punching two circles using the ¾” Circle Punch, adhere together to create an elongated circle so the edges peek out when the Nantucket image is attached).

Layer a piece of Whisper White cardstock onto Real Red cardstock, add the embossed Crumb Cake Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Pacific Point DSP and Real Red strip.  Add the layered collage embossed piece with the twine and the Chalk Talk tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. 

Add the bow with the Antique Brad, the Nantucket images and the lobster image.  Stamp the sentiment from Wetlands using Pacific Point onto Vellum Paper, create banner points and add to the card using Two-Way Glue.

A bit of work but a lot of fun!!

Stamp Sets: By The Tide, The Open Sea, Wetlands

Ink: Crumb Cake, Pacific Point, Real Red

Paper/Cardstock:  Whisper White, Real Red, Vellum, Crumb Cake and Pacific Point DSP

Accessories: Big Shot™,  Chalk Talk Framelits™,  Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folders- Woodgrain  and Fancy Fan, 3/4” Circle Punch,  Sponge Dauber, Antique Brad, Hemp Twine (retired)
