Reflected In Nature

 Reflected In Nature


This is such an easy card to put together and so pretty!



I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Real Red Card Stock scored at 5 1/2" for the card base. 

Using Real Red Ink, stamp the stars from the Stars Are Shining Stamp Set on a diagonal from the top left to the bottom right. 

I stamped the log cabin image from the Reflected In Nature Stamp Set using Night Of Navy Ink onto a piece of Basic White C/S then I trimmed it down to 2 7/8" x 2 6/8". Attach this panel to a 3" x 2 13/16" piece of Basic White C/S. Then using Dimensionals, attach this panel to a 3" x 3 1/8" piece of Night Of Navy C/S. Attach this panel to the card front. Add some Wink Of Stella to the water and snow.

I stamped the sentiment using Night Of Navy Ink onto a piece of Basic White C/S. (This sentiment is retired, any sentiment would work) Flag cut the right end and attach a tiny piece of Silver Foil to the left side. Attach to the card front.

Punch out a star using the Starlit Punch and Silver Foil. Attach to the card using a Dimensional. That's it! Pretty simple!

Happy Stamping and Creating!!

Continued prayers to everyone effected by the wildfires.

Canada Inks Up Blog Hop

 Canada Inks Up Blog Hop


I have used the beautiful Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper for todays card. This paper is one of the Sale-A-Bration products that you can earn for FREE!! Check out the SAB Catalogue on the right side of this Blog.

I wanted to showcase both sides of this paper so I created a fun fold. 




Directions:
Cut a piece of Real Red Card Stock, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". 

Cut the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper to 5 1/4" x 8" and score at 4". 

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8". Attach the Peaceful Prints to this layer then attach to the Real Red layer. 

Die cut a Basic White C/S Scalloped Contours Die. Stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink and a small flower from the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set using Real Red Ink stamped off one time onto the scalloped panel. Attach to the inside of the card. I love how both sides of the Designer Series Paper can be seen using this fun fold. 

The Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set is another product that you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration 2021. 

I added 3 Rhinestones to the inside as well. Well, truth be told, I had a few ink smudges that I had to cover!! Rhinestones to the rescue!




For the front of the card, I cut a 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" piece of Basic White Card Stock and a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" piece of Real Red C/S. Emboss the Real Red C/S using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Attach the Real Red C/S to the Basic White C/S then attach to the card front using Dimensionals. Attach a "Wonderful Snowflake" using a Dimensional to the Real Red square. Add 3 Subtle Shimmer Sequins using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to the center of the snowflake and a Glittered Organdy Ribbon to the right side using a Glue Dot. 


The Designer Series Paper is the star of the show so I kept the card front simple to let the DSP shine!

I hope I have inspired you today! Happy Stamping and Creating! Please leave us comments, we love hearing from you!!
