Rings of Love DSP

This week’s product is the free Saleabration paper, Rings of Love. The paper is really pretty and very versatile. You won’t believe all of this week’s cards came from the same paper pack!

Using designer series paper makes for fast card making although I just like to show off the gorgeous patterns. This means not adding too much else to hide the paper.

This pattern of the Rings of Love DSP was matted in Night of Navy. Next the sentiment, from Happiness Abounds, was stamped in more Night of Navy. Finally the matted layer was added to a Mint Macaron card base.

I’ll be making this card plus two others at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern.  I’ll also upload the video to YouTube. If you share my live, I’ll add you to next week’s raffle.

Elephant Parade

The product of the week is the Elephant Parade set. I really like this little elephant so I gave him a balloon.

As before I stamped the elephant in Memento Tuxedo Black and added the balloon too. Then I coloured him in using Basic Grey, Pacific Point and Melon Mambo for the inside of his ears. Of course I used Wink of Stella to smooth out the lines and to add a little shimmer.

The focal point was matted in Pacific Point and added to a white card base. The sentiment, from the Elephant Parade set, was stamped in Pacific Point. After cutting it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies, it was added to the card using dimensionals.

I previously created a baby girl card and wanted to create a card for a baby boy too. For this card, I just added a basic black mat.

As before, the elephant was stamped in Memento Tuxedo black on a piece of Whisper White. Next I grabbed some watercolor pencils, namely Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Melon Mambo and Pacific Point. Using Wink of Stella I smoothed out the pencil lines as well as adding a little shimmer.

This was then added to a Basic Black mat and then to a Balmy Blue card base. Finally the sentiment, from Elephant Parade, was stamped in Memento tuxedo black.

I made this card along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live yesterday. Check out the video on Facebook or YouTube. If you share my live, you’re added to next week’s raffle.

Elephant Parade

The product of the week is the Elephant Parade set. I thought this stamp lent itself to a baby card and since I’m short of those, I took the opportunity to restock.

The elephant was stamped in Memento Tuxedo black on a piece of Whisper White. Next I grabbed some watercolor pencils, namely Flirty Flamingo, Basic Black and Pacific Point. Using Wink of Stella I smoothed out the pencil lines as well as adding a little shimmer.

This was then added to a Blushing Bride card base since Flirty Lamingo was a bit dark. Finally the sentiment, from Elephant Parade, was stamped in tuxedo black.

I’ll be making this card along with 2 others using this set at my Gacebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. Those who place an order with me of $25 or more receive a pack of the card pieces needed to make the cards. Also if you share my live, you’re added to next week’s raffle.

Elephant Parade

The product of the week is the Elephant Parade set. One of the elephants made me think of the Jungle Book movie and so this card was inspired. I can hear the music in my head as I type!

The elephants were stamped in a row using Memento Tuxedo black on a piece of Whisper White. Next I grabbed some watercolor pencils, namely Basic Grey, Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Pacific Point. Then I smoothed out the lines using Wink of Stella as well as adding a little shimmer.

This was then matted with Melon Mambo and added to a white card base. Finally the sentiment, from Elephant Parade, was stamped in Melon Mambo.

Wonderful World DSP

This week I’m focusing on the Saleabration Wonderful World DSP. This paper is paired with a stamp set of the same name and is free with an order of $100. Last week I focused on the stamp set, this week it’s the paper.

As with the last card, I felt that an entire layer of this pattern of Wonderful World DSP would be too much. So I cut just enough to show how pretty it is without it being overkill. It was then matted with Pear Pizzazz.

Before adding the matted layer directly to the card, I added the sentiment from Peaceful Moments in Pear Pizzazz.

I’ll be making this card along with two others using the set at my Facebook Live today at 11am Eastern. The video will also be uploaded to YouTube.
