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.

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.

This pattern is pretty but I thought an entire layer of it would be too much, so I cut a two inch strip. It was matted with Pear Pizzazz. You could also make 12 cards like this with a single sheet as with the last card. 

The sentiment, from Wonderful World, was stamped with Pear Pizzazz and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. It was added to the card with dimensionals.

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

Awash in Beauty DSP

This week I’m focusing on the gorgeous Awash in Beauty DSP with a bit of help from the Charming Sentiments set.

This is such a happy pattern; it’s also an extremely simple card.

The Awash in Beauty DSP was cut to 4 by 5 1/4 inches and mounted onto a Merry Merlot card base. 

Next I stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot and then cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle dies. Since the Charming Sentiments set was still out, that’s where the sentiment came from.

Finally the sentiment was attached with dimensionals.

I’ll be making this card, along with 2 more, at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. Join me and if you share my live, I’ll add you to next week’s raffle.

Simply Fabulous

This week I’m using Simply Fabulous, a 24 piece photopolymer set (159133, $18). It really is fabulous – I’ve been really enjoying creating with this set. There’s so much to use. I kept the color palette as the last card but added Orchid Oasis and used another 4 stamps.

I love stamping up the side of a card so as to leave plenty of white space to keep it clean and simple. 

Here I used Parakeet Party for the two plant stamps, Sweet Sorbet for the flowers and Orchid Oasis for the little blossoms. Wink of Stella was applied to the little Orchid Oasis blossoms.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis and then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. The sentiment fits perfectly in the smallest rectangle die. It was then added to the card using dimensionals.

As a final touch, an iridescent basic rhinestone jewel was added to the centre of the flowers.

I’ll be making this card and two others also using Simply Fabulous on Sunday at my Facebook Live at 11am eastern. If you share my live, I’ll add you to the weekly raffle.

Fern 3D Embossing Folder

This week I’m using the gorgeous Sun Prints Suite which consists of a stamp set, dies, DSP and a 3D embossing folder. This card is featuring the Fern 3D embossing folder.

This card is using the Fern 3D embossing folder which embossed a piece of Parakeet Party. Before adding this layer to the white card base, I added a bow using the Parakeet Party 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon.

The fern was stamped and then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies and then adhered to the card. The sentiment, from Nature’s Prints, was stamped and cut out with the Layering Circles dies. The slightly larger scalloped die was used to make a mat for the sentiment. 

After layering the sentiment onto the mat, it was attached to the card using dimensionals.

I’ll be making this card plus 2 others on my Facebook Live today at 11am Eastern. Share my live and be added to the raffle. Place a $25 order with me and get the cut cardstock needed to make the cards.
