Ridiculously Awesome

Leave a reply

This week, as I mentioned on Wednesday, I’m showcasing a really fun and encouraging set, Ridiculously Awesome (152512, $22) which was inspired by Ronda Wade’s (for her one million in sales) and created by Sara’s husband Sean Douglass.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Ridiculously Awesome - Rectangle Stitched Dies

I made this card extremely simple, but I believe, elegant. The sentiment is embossed using gold embossing powder and then die cut using the rectangle stitched dies.  Unusually, I glued it straight onto the thick very vanilla base. The finishing touch were a few gold glitter enamel dots.

I’ll be demonstrating 3 cards made with the Ridiculously Awesome set on my Facebook live on Sunday at 11am EST.

I stamped the great sentiment in real red on very vanilla. Next I cut out a window in the piece of Poinsettia Place DSP (15% off this month) using the Rectangle Stitched dies. After that I positioned the DSP’s opening over the sentiment and then attached it to the real red case base. A bow made with the real red 3/8 inch sheer ribbon finished off the card.

Wouldn’t this card be a great pick-me-up?

Prized Peony

This week’s product is the Prized Peony bundle although I’m only using the Prized Peony stamp set today.

The peony was stamped tone on tone using Blushing Bride and then it was layered using Mossy Meadow. I’m so glad that Mossy Meadow made a return after being an in color a few years ago. The card base is obviously also Blushing Bride. I used Mossy Meadow to stamp out the sentiment, which also comes from the Prized Peony set and then die cut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. A few dimensionals under the die cut and the card was complete.

Today there is a one day stamp sale at Stampin’ Up! featuring select stamp sets at 15% off. It’s definitely worth a look and it ends at one minute to midnight, so I’d advise haste.

Here’s the third card using the Press On stamp set for this week. All three are simple – and hopefully elegant – and quick to make so that you can have some encouraging cards on hand. The three cards were demonstrated this morning on my Facebook Live at 11am.

The halo, or whatever it is, is heat embossed in gold. The cup and the beans were stamped in early espresso with a little poppy parade heart on the cup. I layered the very vanilla layer simply with an early espresso mat and then glued that to a very vanilla card base. The sentiment was also heat embossed in gold then cut out with the Stitched Rectangles dies and popped up with dimenstionals.

Apparently I wrote this but didn’t publish it – sorry about that.

Here’s card number 2 using the Press On stamp set which is all about coffee. Now who doesn’t love coffee?!

The main image and then steam were stamped using early espresso since it’s the only coffee named colour that we have!  The stamped heart, sentiment and card base are all in poppy parade. The very vanilla top layer was matted in early espresso. The sentiment obviously also comes from Press On and was die cut using my favourite Stitched Shapes Dies. It’s a simple card (my favourite) and quick to make.

I’ll be demonstrating this card on my Facebook Live next Sunday at 11am.
