Creative Inking Blog Hop - Love It Chop It - Designer Series Paper Love

 

 

This month's Blog Hop participants are creating projects using Designer Series Paper. That's right! We love it so much, we are chopping it up and using it. No more hoarding Designer Series Paper! My project uses the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper and the Daisy Lane Stamp Set. Plus, I used the rectangle Heirloom Frames Dies & 3D Embossing Folders for the first time.

 

The colors I used on this card are Whisper White, Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam. That color combination is directly from a sheet of the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper. No thinking on my part; just copying what Stampin' Up! selected. I'm good with that!

 

 

Directions:

First Layer: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

Second Layer: 4" x 5 1/4" Garden Lane Designer Series Paper

Third Layer: Use Soft Sea Foam Ink and stamp the leaf image on a 2" x 3" piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Set it aside until the Fourth Layer is completed. 

Fourth Layer: Use the Heirloom Frames (Rectangle) Die on Soft Sea Foam Cardstock and cut out on a Die Cutting Machine. Place the cardstock rectangle inside the Heirloom Frames (Rectangle) 3D Embossing Folder and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach the Third Layer to the inside of the embossed frame with SNAIL Adhesive. Attach the embossed frame to the Second Layer with Dimensionals.

 

 

Embellishment #1: Use the small daisy image and stamp it once in Mint Macaron Ink and once in Soft Sea Foam Ink on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Punch out with the Medium Daisy Punch. Attach the two daisies together with a Glue Dot. Attach to the Fourth Layer with a Dimensional. Place a green Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequin in the center of the daisies. Place a small Pearl Basic Jewel in the center of the Sequin.

 

 

Embellishment #2:  Use a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock with a Stitched Nested Labels Die and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Stamp the sentiment in Mint Macaron Ink. Attach with Dimensionals. The final touch is to attach a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow in the corner with a Glue Dot.

A Shabby Chic Thinking of You Card

 

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know I love shabby chic and my favorite sentiment is "thinking of you". This card has both! Woo hoo! I paired the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and the Buffalo Check Background Stamp and then used the Country Floral Embossing Folder. Are you wondering if this card will be one hot mess?

 

 

By adding the shabbiness to the different card elements, and using soft colors, it all goes together.

 

Directions:

Card Base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Crumb Cake Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

First Layer:  4" x 5 1/4" Crumb Cake Cardstock, placed inside the Country Floral Embossing Folder and put through a Die Cutting Machine.

Second Layer:  1 1/4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White Cardstock. Use Petal Pink Ink on the Buffalo Check Background Stamp. 

Third Layer:  Scrap of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock on a scalloped Layering Circle Die and put through a Die Cutting Machine.

Fourth Layer: Scrap of Whisper White Cardstock on a Layering Circle Die and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Stamp the sentiment in Black Memento Ink.

Fifth Layer:  Stamp two magnolia images with Black Memento Ink on a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Cut out with the Magnolia Memory Die put through a Die Cutting Machine. Color with Stampin' Blends.

 

The edges of the Second through the Fifth Layers were sponged with Crumb Cake Ink to shabby them up. The final touches are:  Wink of Stella on the two magnolia flowers and a Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon.

Another Sympathy Card using the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set

 

So, I'm 2 for 2 in creating sympathy cards with the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set. You can see my first sympathy card here. It is a fact that the older you get, the more funerals you will have to attend. Thus, the continual need at my house for sympathy cards. I promise that the next card with this stamp set will be a non-sympathy card!

 

This was another card swap that I participated in a few months ago.

 

The soft colors in the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper paired perfectly with the sentiment.

 

Directions:

Card Base:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Pool Party Cardstock

First Layer:  5 1/4" x 8" Whisper White Cardstock, scored at 4 1/4".

Second Layer:  2" x 5" Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper

Third Layer:  Scrap of Basic Black Cardstock. Place the Layering Square Die (about 2 3/4") on the cardstock and put through a Die Cutting Machine. Attach with Dimensionals.

Fourth Layer:  Scrap of Whisper White Cardstock. Place the Stitched Shapes Die (about 2 5/8") on the cardstock and put through a Die Cutting Machine. The sentiment is stamped in Black Memento Ink.

 

There are no embellishments on this card. Just stamps, paper and ink. The stitching surrounding the sentiment is a simple way to add a unique touch to this card.

Last Friday night, we went out to dinner with our son and his family to celebrate his "almost milestone" birthday. Saturday afternoon, I was doing laundry and heard a very loud noise. The dryer was no longer working. All the wet laundry was draped on the patio and front porch furniture to dry. That sure reminded me of hanging out laundry on the clotheslines when I was a child. On Sunday afternoon, I had a great time at my Stamp Therapy class. Then Sunday night, we had dinner with our daughter and her family. It is another warm Wednesday in Minnesota!
