Better Places

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.

Better Places

Last week I focused on the host set, Better Places but due to sickness didn’t get the second and third cards blogged. So I’ll post one of them today and one tomorrow.

The Better Places host set really lends itself to clean and simple cards which you know are my favourite type. This stamp was colored with Stampin’ Write markers in Balmy Blue, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. After huffing on the stamp to moisten the ink, it was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White. This was then matted in Evening Evergreen. Finally one of the sentiments was stamped directly onto the card base also in Evening Evergreen.

Better Places

This week I decided to focus on the host set, Better Places.

The obvious thing to do with the Better Places stamp set is to color it using blends, watercolor pencils or even the new Soft Pastels assortment. So I decided to start with heat embossing in silver!

This makes it a very simple and easy to create card. The cardstock is Blackberry Bliss and after heat embossing the image, it was matted with silver foil.

A friend of mine recently was selecting cards to take home to his wife who is very fond of sending cards. It works out well – I make too many and she needs a lot! She was apparently looking for non-sentiment ones which is what I always looked for when buying cards. Of course I haven’t bought any since I started making them. But when I make a card, I now consider whether a sentiment would add to it, or whether it’s just a habit.

And I don’t think that adding a sentiment is needed here. What do you think?

Join me on Sunday at 11am EDT on Facebook when I’ll show how I made this along with 2 other cards. Share my live and be put into my raffle. See you then.
