(New Post) Scenic Garden Cards

 Scenic Garden Cards

The images from the Scenic Garden Stamp Set are so beautiful. I made 3 cards using this set and I kept it very simple. I just stamped the image in Memento Black Ink and then I used my Stampin' Blends to add some colour. 

I kept the images simple because I was wanting to showcase the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. I used this DSP as my card base! Such a great way to not only show off the DSP but to use it up too!! I confess, I am a DSP hoarder! 

The Dandy Design DSP is a Sale-a-bration 2023 FREE offering with a $120.00 purchase! You can also earn the Scenic Garden Stamp Set for free with a qualifying order.





Directions:

For all the cards I started with a card base of the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2".

I cut a piece of Basic White Card Stock to 4 3/4" x 3 1/2" for the art panel on all the cards.

Stamp the images with Memento Black Ink and colour using the Stampin' Blends.

Stamp the sentiment from Charming Sentiments using Memento Black Ink.

Attach this art panel to the coordinating card stock colour cut to 4 7/8" x 3 5/8". Attach to the card base. I used Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue.

For the inside attach a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S. I stamped the hollyhock in Memento Black Ink.

Add a Dragonfly Trinket and some Basic White Bakers Twine to finish off the cards!!

This set would make such a nice gift for someone! Come back soon, I will make a matching holder for the cards!


Today is Miss Lola Beans 12th birthday!! She's partied out!!

I hope you like todays cards!! Leave me a comment. I love to hear from you!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Adorable Owl Baby Cards!

Adorable Owl Baby Cards!

I have just recently realized that many of you have not been receiving my Blog Post updates. I apologize for this technical glitch and I hope I have corrected it! Some of you might need to re-subscribe. Please do let me know if you are receiving my posts and if you have any questions or feedback I would love to hear from you! 
Now, onto the cards!

I had so much fun designing these baby cards using the Adorable Owls Stamp Set. It is one of the free offerings from Sale-a-bration 2023.

I made one for a baby girl and one for a baby boy. The Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper did all the work! The Dandy Designs DSP is also a free offering during Sale-a-bration 2023! I have used this DSP so many times! A favourite for sure!





Directions:

Cut a card base using Balmy Blue or Petal Pink Card Stock. One of my bases was 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and the other was 4 1/4" x 11", scored in half.

Cut a Basic White C/S layer to 4" x 5 1/4".

Cut 3 pieces of Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4" x 1 5/8" and attach to the Basic White layer. 

Die cut a Basic White C/S tag and sentiment tag using the Something Fancy Dies.

Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Park onto the tag using Memento Black Ink. Also stamp the "your new baby" onto a thin strip of Basic White C/S.

Stamp the owl onto the tag using Memento Black Ink. Colour with Stampin' Blends.

Tie a ribbon around the panel or layer some ribbon back and forth.

Attach the tag with the owl over the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Attach the larger sentiment using Dimensionals and the smaller one using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

I also stamped the bow of the owl again onto scrap paper, coloured it with Blends and cut it out and attached it to each owl using Mini Dimensionals. I love the hair bow on the pink owl card!

I also stamped a flower from Sentimental Park and coloured it using Blends for the pink card.

I added a Opal Rounds to each card to finish them off. 

I hope you like todays cards! I would love to hear from you, leave me a comment!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
