I’ve been playing some more with the See a Silhouette DSP – it makes gorgeous cards.
This piece of DSP is slightly larger than the previous one and I again matted it with mossy meadow. It looked good on a horizontal card due to the larger size. I stamped another of the sentiments from the Silhouette Scenes stamp set in poppy parade and then cut it out with the stitched shapes framelits dies. A little bow in the poppy parade ribbon and it was done.

One of the gorgeous designer series paper packs is the Happiness Blooms ($11 for 12 double sided sheets, 148795). Here I decided to make a masculine birthday card – I work in IT and the proportion of men to women is very high.
I’ve taken a 2 inch piece of the DSP and adhered it to a night of navy card base. I kept with the circles and used the stitched shapes framelits dies to cut out the fun sentiment from the Sale-a-bration set Hello Cupcake. The set has fun cupcake images and some great sentiments. And it’s FREE with an order of $50 or more of product.

Here’s one of the new recruit packets that I just recently created – and handed out! Also a 5 by 8 inch notebook which I covered as a gift for my new recruit.
I used the Painted with Love Specialty DSP and simply covered the notebook. I then used a piece of rich razzleberry to heat emboss the sentiment from Crafting Forever in copper. It’s one of my favourite sentiments – Do something creative every day. I truly believe that this is key to be happy. I added a copper foil mat cut out with the Stitched Shapes framelits dies.
Here’s the actual folder itself. I based it on one that Brenda Quintana made. I took a piece of 12 by 12 DSP and scored it at 3 inches to make the pocket. Then on the other side I scored at 6 inches. Then I cut at 1/4 inch and 11 3/4 inches just down to the 3 inch score line. This gives you a little tab to add glue so that everything is secure. I also cut a V to make it close better. I added a sheet of useful numbers and web sites along with my business card; also a welcome letter and card and my class schedule (including my team’s monthly meeting).

I won the stamp set that coordinates with the Eclectic Layers thinlits dies at Onstage in Amsterdam and I swapped it with my sister. It just didn’t seem to be me although I did like the look of the thinlits. Until Nicki sent me a card using it recently and then the Eclectic bundle leapt onto my next order. I’m not actually using the stamp set here, although I have plans, but just the thinlits make a beautiful card.
The diamond shaped cut out is really striking – and I’m already planning to use it as a mask for stenciling and embossing paste. I cut a piece of Naturally Eclectic DSP to put behind it and that drove the choice of emerald envy for my leaf card stock. The flowers are cut each using 2 pieces from the Eclectic Layers in berry burst. There is a detailed die which cuts out the inside of the flower and then a framelit which cuts around the edge. This means that there is a lot of scope for layering with this set of dies.
My sentiment comes from Bunch of Blossoms which probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you! It’s an awesome sentiment and I also like how it looks. Win – Win! I stamped it in more berry burst and cut it out with the stitched shapes framelits dies and popped it up with dimensionals.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project.

When I don’t have a card in my head, I sometimes pick a stamp set at random and decide that the card will just use that. Yesterday I picked up Background Bits, a hostess set. The card didn’t turn out as I planned; in fact, the stamp I’d selected as the main focus didn’t even get inked up in the end! It’s fun seeing how cards evolve.
I started by washing some pear pizzazz and soft sky over a piece of watercolor paper with an aquapainter. Whilst that was drying, I stamped another of the images from Background Bits in pool party onto the pool party card base. Next I made my “label” – the sentiment is actually in one long line, but that wasn’t what I wanted so I only inked up one word at a time so that I could place it where I wanted it. I actually had to do this twice as I smudged the first one whilst using the stitched shapes framelits dies to cut it out. The second time I waited and occupied myself in tying a bow with the beautiful pool party 3/8 inch shimmer ribbon. Finally I stamped my flower image in night of navy and then added a mat of the same color. After that, all that remained was construction.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
