I’d stamped a number of colours of this sentiment from Designer Tee planning a different card but changed my mind. However since I had a few of these sitting on my desk, I was determined to make them into a card.

I had stamped in perfect plum, rose red and sweet sugarplum and then cut them out with 1 1/4 inch circle matting them with the same colour card in 1 3/8 inch. For the sweet sugarplum though, I used the glimmer paper. And this is where I stopped before, but something else was needed – the  Flower Fair framelits dies were perfect. I cut out three and popped up the centres with dimensionals and carefully bent the tips of the flower to give them some lift before gluing down to my whisper white card base. A very quick card in the execution even though it spread over multiple days. AND no emboss resist to be seen!

Falling in Love DSP notebooks

Leave a reply

I had a launch party for the new catalog last night and we had so much fun. We had snacks – hummous, cheese, grapes and chocolate chip cookies (two of them home made, I’ll leave you to figure out which two!), a free raffle, a little gift for everyone AND we made three cards. It was a good night. I’ve previously shared the make and takes, but here are the little gifts – covered notebooks decorated with Falling in Love DSP. This are extraordinary for me because they are neutral – in fact just sahara sand and very vanilla and I love them. The neutrals collection is my least used, I’m not fond of grey and brown isn’t really me either, so these are a surprise. The Falling in Love DSP is absolutely gorgeous – here’s a selection of the leftover notebooks.

Covering a notebook is easy – you just need a ruler. My notebooks are 3 inches wide (apart from the ones that are 3 1/16 – they weren’t cut with precision apparently) so that set the width of my card stock. I added 1/8 inch to the front (which measured 4 15/16 inch) to create a little lip to make them easy to open, 3/16 for the width and 1.5 inches for a piece on the back which meant a 6 3/4 piece of card which I scored at 5 1/16 and 5 1/4. I applied fast fuse just to the piece that goes on the back and carefully lined up the notebook with it’s cover. Then it was a  simple matter of stamping the sentiment from the SAB freebie, Designer Tee, in more sahara sand (!) and cutting it out with the layering circles and creating a scalloped border to go around it. I didn’t pop anything up because I didn’t want anything coming off the notebook if it was thrown in a purse.

I got carried away and made more than I needed – and then sickness got in the way and a few people couldn’t make it – so I have extra extra. I’ll throw one in with my thank you card to anyone who orders from me this month whilst they last. So if you want one of my remaining notebooks, order quickly!

It’s a slow day here today; I’m not sure if that’s because it’s snowing or whether I’d be moving slowly anyway! But it’s taken me all morning to get organised and blog writing. I decided to feature the new Sale-a-bration set, Designer Tee which I hadn’t yet inked up. The images are sized to fit on the t-shirts in the Custom Tee stamp set (which comes as a bundle with framelits) but I wanted to show an alternative use.

The image is stamped in real red and then cut out with what is becoming rather predictable – the Stitched Shapes framelits dies. The sentiment is from the same set. Once I had these two elements set, I wanted to add some texture, hence the lucky stars TIEF band along with a real red border. I contemplated ribbon or enamel shapes but it was getting a bit too much so I stayed clean and simple. I attached the image to the banner with dimensionals – it seems to work best for attaching to texture, just make sure you push fairly firmly on them to start with.
