Here’s my third card using the Beside Me set.

I stamped the image in Versamark on Copper Clay and then heat embossed it in gold. This was matted with gold foil. Using this piece to help with placement, I next stamped the sentiment in versamark and also heat embossed it in gold. 

The layer was added to a Copper Clay card base. Finally a few 2023-2025 in color dots were added.

I made this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live this morning. You can watch  the replay or check it out on YouTube.

When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

The Orchid Oasis was cut to 3 /2 by 4 inches. Next I stamped the two images and sentiment in versamark and then heat embossed in white.  This was then matted on white 1/8 inch larger in both directions. Next it was put on an Orchid Oasis card base allowing a small border of Orchid Oasis to show. Finally I added some In color matte decorative dots.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this paper at my Facebook Live tomorrow at 11am. You can watch live, see the replay or check it out on YouTube.

This week I’m using the Beside Me set since it’s all about celebrating fathers. I am sorry that this is late, but I’m still struggling to learn how much I can do without wiping myself out. I seem to always be overly optimistic!

I stamped the image in Smoky Slates and then started using watercolor pencils. I used Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Basic Black for the hair, then Night of Navy for all the trousers. The shirts was Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Real Red. The dock was Early Espresso and the water was Balmy Blue. I used a tiny bit of Flirty Flamingo to skin to remove the white pasty look. Next the blender pen smoothed out the lines and moved the color around a little.

This was matted with Night of Navy and added to a white cardbase. Finally the sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy and cut out using the Stylish Shapes dies.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this paper at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am. You can watch live, see the replay or check it out on YouTube.

Firstly I want to remind you about the free shipping deal that Stampin’ Up! is running TODAY ONLY! On orders over $70, that’s a 10% saving, below $70 it’s a higher percentage because it’s a flat $6.95.

Last week I focused on the host set, Better Places but due to sickness didn’t get the second and third cards blogged on schedule. I posted one yesterday and here’s the last one.

I wanted to use the third, and last, image stamp in the Better Places host set for this card. The leafy branch was stamped in Evening Evergreen up the side of the Soft Seafoam card base. The sentiment, also from Better Places, was stamped in Evening Evergreen and then die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. After popping it up with dimensionals, some white Elegant Faceted gems were added.

Check out my Facebook Live that I did on Sunday at 11am EDT or you can also see it on YouTube. Share my Live and I’ll add you to my raffle for next week.

Paper Pumpkin May 2016 Alternate 3

1 Reply

Here’s my third Paper Pumpkin May 2016 alternate – I’m still playing with the awesome die cut card fronts. This one is a lot of fun to make and can be done in any variety of colours. As you may have noticed (!), I’m enjoying using Dapper Denim, one of the upcoming in colours, and this time I paired it with emerald envy (sure to be another favourite) and elegant eggplant. A really rich combination.

Stampin' Up! Many Manly Occasions

I started by grabbing a piece of whisper white, just 1/8 inch smaller than the base and then cut strips of card in dapper denim, emerald envy and elegant eggplant which are 9/16 of inch wide. I positioned a long strip of elegant eggplant (the piercing tool is great for help here, reaching through the die cut front) and one of the strips at 90 degrees to it. Once I had those positioned, I didn’t need to worry and just had fun adding strips to the whisper white. I did check every now and then, that this really was going to work and the 9/16″ was the perfect width and it still looked good. But here’s what my whisper white looked like when I finished:

strips on whisper white for inside of card

As you can see, I just added strips snugged up to their neighbours and it was so easy. Obviously I checked the overall look to help determine whether the gaps needed to be filled in or not before finishing. I then added glue dots to the four corners and to the solid band across the front of the card and glued down the coloured piece. Next was the sentiment which is made up of two stamps from the Many Manly Occasions Paper Pumpkin set, stamped in emerald envy.

I lined the envelope using the envelope liners framelits (retiring) and the retired backgrounds DSP in elegant eggplant. I do have the newer non-retired regals DSP stack but I still have some of the old ones to use up.

I hope that you’re having as much fun as I am playing with this kit!

See you tomorrow,

Liz
