Abundant Beauty 2

Happy Sunday, boy has the temperature taken a turn, it’s only in the low sixty’s today! I already miss the swimming pool and the 80-degree weather!

Today thought I would share two more cards using the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks and the 4 sunflower masks. My flowers are Berry Burst, not your standard yellow. There is also a herringbone, autumn and snowflake mask in the package.

ABUNDANT BEAUTY DECORATIVE MASKS

Similar to my prior cards using these masks, I used 1/2 of a piece Basic White card stock, then cut it down for the two cards below.

First up is a card I’ve added a sentiment stamped and embossed on Vellum cardstock. Since ink stays wet longer on vellum (nonporous surface), I stamped with Mossy Meadow ink, added Clear Embossing power and heat set.

Next, how about a circle card. For the card below, the Decked Circle Die was moved slightly to the outside of the fold so that area is not cut, giving you a circle card that opens.

Finally, here is a side view of the card. I’ve added a Deckled Circle to the inside to write your personal message.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

Jason’s Fun Fold Card

Seems that this week is birthday card week.

Earlier this month was my godson Jason’s birthday and today I’m sharing the card sent him.

The card is a Double Window Gate Fold Card I saw on a blog post from fellow demonstrator Dawn Griffith. Just some simple scoring and cutting and you have a really cool card.

Some of the products used include:

  • Brewed for You stamp set along with coordinating Brewed Dies for the card. Jason likes craft beers, so I thought these products were perfect.
  • Colors are Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat and Copper Clay, they go great together.

First, here’s the card when closed. There are three panels 3″ x 3 3/8″ that make up the visual images of the card.

Next, hopefully you can see just how the card goes together.

Finally, here is the inside. Biggest Wish stamp set used for Happy Birthday. You can write on the inside or add a panel of Basic White to the back.

‘Happy Birthday to my “favorite” niece Maya! Uncle Dan, Nitro, Diesel and I hope you have a wonderful day!

The card when folded is 5¼” x 5¼”, I’ve used a 8½” x 8½” square of designer series paper to make a handmade envelope.

Main Supplies include:

  • Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper
  • Wanted to Say Dies
  • Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle (new online exclusive tied to World Card Making Day, Oct. 7)

Abundant Beauty Masks

Today I’m featuring one of the items that I was most excited to get, the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. While they are out of stock currently, they should be available next week.

Each of the masks has fun and detailed all-occasion designs that will add depth and color to your paper crafting projects, whether it’s cards, gift tags, or gift packaging. The flower and petal masks can help you wish a sunny salutation. Use the argyle patterned mask to create a card that’s cozy and cute for fall. You could also use the masking technique to combine a couple of the masks to create your own unique designs.

ABUNDANT BEAUTY DECORATIVE MASKS

When using the masks, I recommend using a half sheet of card stock (5½” x 8½”) then you have enough paper for two cards. For the flowers, there are numbers on the masks so it’s easy to know the order for coloring.

Ink Colors Used:

  • Boho Blue
  • Wild Wheat
  • Copper Clay
  • Old Olive
  • Lemon Lolly

 

While it’s hard to see in the picture, I’ve embossed the paper with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

Mosaic Technique Cards

Good morning, hope you had a good weekend. It’s getting cooler here so I think we will be closing the pool this week. always a sad day for me.

Today I have two mosaic technique cards for you. For the cards I’m featuring designer series paper.

Technique Basics:

  • Designer Series Paper or piece of card stock you’ve stamped to make your own designer paper.
  • Piece of card stock that compliments above for the mat.

Decide on the size of mat (4″ x 5¼”, 3¾” x 5″ – or size of your choice), the cut your designer paper ¼” shorter (top to bottom) and ½” shorter (left to right) as the mat.

Next, randomly cut the paper in odd diagonal strips, dry fit on card mat (layout without adhesive), then use adhesive to add to mat. Add ribbon, then add to card front. Stamp and add greeting to the card.

Next, I’m featuring the Beary Christmas 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Beary Cute Bundle for the greeting.

Share a Milkshake

Hard to believe it’s the start of the last weekend of summer, boy did the time go fast! So, what are your plans for the weekend? It’s going to be in the 90’s here – so pool time for me and some bar-b-que ribs!

Today is the perfect time for a bright & cheerful card and why not with milkshakes.

One image is directly adhered to the card front while another was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Colors used include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly.

Finally, the greeting was stamped directly on designer paper and some clear sequins added for the right amount of bling!
