Lots of Lavender

This is a card that I made for my swap in December.  This is a Sale-a-Bration set called Lots of Lavender that I was able to earn it FREE with a $50 order.  It uses a 2-step technique. 

It would be perfect to use this set with the new Stamparatus!

Here are the instructions:

Stamp Set:  Lots of Lavender #147194 {P} Technique: 2-Step

Cardstock:  Perfect Plum #101889, Pear Pizzazz #131201, Whisper White #100730

Ink:  Wisteria Wonder #126985, Pear Pizzazz #131180, Perfect Plum #126963, Basic Black #140931

Other:  Big Shot #143263, Layered Leaves TIEF #143704, Multipurpose Glue #140931, Dimensionals # 104430, Clear Blocks:  A, C, D, and E

1.     The base of the card is Perfect Plum cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Pear Pizzazz cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Layered Leaves TIEF and run through the Big Shot.  Attach it to the front of the base card with Multipurpose Glue.

3.    Mount the flower outline stamp onto the E Block and ink it up with Basic Black ink.  Stamp it onto 2” x 4” Whisper White cardstock.

4.    Mount the solid, watercolor image stamp onto the D Block and ink it up with the Wisteria Wonder ink over the outline image.

5.    Mount the leaves stamps onto A and B Blocks and ink them up with Pear Pizzazz ink.  Also, mount the leaf stems.  The Stamping Spots are great for these little stamped images or you can even color with a marker directly onto the stamps.  Do not use the Blends, however or they will stain your stamps.

6.    Mount the ribbon on the A block to color it with Pear Pizzazz.  The ribbon stamp is also mounted but colored in with the Perfect Plum ink pad or marker.

7.    Layer the stamped image onto the 2-1/4” x 4-1/4” Perfect Plum cardstock.  Attach to the center of card with Dimensionals or Multipurpose Glue.

What I Love - SAB

It is Sale-A-Bration time!  I was able to order this SAB stamp last month as a demo. This is a card I made with the new SAB set called "What I Love". For every $50 you spend, you earn a FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  It is a 2-step stamp set.  The colors I used were Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder for the flowers.  The leaves are Garden Green put painted with the Aqua Painter.  The TIEF is from the annual catalog called Lovely Lace.  I stamped three flowers on Whisper White and then stamped two more on another piece of Whisper White.  I fussy cut those two flowers out with the Paper Snips and attached them with Dimensionals.

In the Meadow

This is a card that I made from the new set "In the Meadow" from the 2016 Occasions catalog.

Although, I don't have mountains or a lake in my backyard, I do have deer come to visit me quite often.  They are such beautiful creatures, so I had to preorder this stamp set.  I embossed the mountains, deer and the trees and colored them with Aqua Painters to give more of a watercolored look.

Watercolor Wings in Purples

This is another Watercolor Wings cards that I made using the colors Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum and Blackberry Bliss for the 2-step stamping.  I used Whisper White cardstock  for the base of my card, and Blackberry Bliss for the top running it through the Fluttering TIEF in the Big Shot.  The bottom is Perfect Plum and I stamped Happy Birthday from the hostess set called "Happy Birthday, Everyone" on the bottom Perfect Plum cardstock with Blackberry Bliss ink.  I wrapped the 5/8" Blackberry Bliss Striped Cotton Ribbon around the middle. I double layered the butterfly to make him pop up more and added him with Dimensionals.  I also attached Metallic Silver Thread with Glue Dots for his feelers. On the inside of my card, I used the "Remembering Your Birthday" which is perfect for birthday card verses.  This would make a perfect card for someone who loves the color purple as well as butterflies.

Wildflower Meadow

Wildflower Meadow is one of the new sets in the new catalog and it has an embossing folder to match also called Wildflower Meadow.  I also used another embossing folder called Modern Mosaic.  The "thank you" is from the hostess set called Express Yourself.  The Ovals Collection Framelit Dies were also used to make this card.

The colors I used in this card are Very Vanilla for the base and oval and Word Window Punch, Pear Pizzazz for the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, and Westeria Wonder for the bigger oval and Modern Label Punch.
