Delicate Dahlias In So Saffron

  Delicate Dahlias In So Saffron

I made todays card for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge, click on the link to check out all the amazing cards! 

I used So Saffron Card Stock and Ink to create this card. 

I love the pop of the Calypso Coral Card Stock, the Basic Black Bakers Twine bow and the tiny little Basic Black Card Stock 
border behind the tag. Just that little shadow of the Basic Black C/S helps to make the tag "pop"!

I also added a small rectangle of "Be Dazzling Specialty 6 x 6 Paper" behind the Calypso Coral C/S sentiment. This gorgeous paper is FREE with a $60 order during Stampin' Up's! Sale-A-Bration promotion! It is so sparkly and beautiful!

Directions:

I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of So Saffron Card Stock. Score it at 4 1/4". This is the card base.

Using So Saffron Ink and the Delicate Dahlia stamp, repeated stamp the flower all over the card base front. *Tip: This is a detailed stamp, you don't want to over ink it or you will lose lots of the finer details. 

Die cut one Basic White C/S and one Basic Black C/S label using the Tasteful Labels Dies.

Stamp some Dahlias using So Saffron Ink onto the Basic White C/S tag.

Cut the Basic Black C/S tag in half horizontally. Glue the two parts behind the Basic White tag so that a tiny little border shows. 

Attach this tag to the card front using Dimensionals.

Cut a small rectangle of Calypso Coral C/S and using Memento Black Ink, stamp a sentiment. Attach this to a rectangle strip of the "Be Dazzling 6 x 6 Specialty Paper". Attach this to the card front. 

Tie a triple bow using Basic Black Bakers Twine, attach to the right edge of the tag using a Glue Dot. 

Try making this layout in multiply colors of card stocks and inks. 

Thanks Freshly Made Sketches for this great layout!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Sending thoughts and prayers to all those affected by the wildfires.

You Are Wonderful

I joined the challenge again this week over at Freshly Made Sketches! Here is the link so you can check out all the other designers.

I decided this time to go with a nature themed card. There are so many "Wonderful" people in my life so this card will definitely be used!!

I first embossed the Very Vanilla panel using the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, then I cut out a "window" using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Then I cut out 2 more windows in Basic Black, and I used the leftover frame to create the shadow in the window. I think it makes the window pop and stand out more!

On another piece of Very Vanilla C/S I stamped the trees from Rooted In Nature in Garden Green, some are full strength and some are stamped off once to give depth. The frame is pop up onto the tree panel using dimensionals then mounted onto a Basic Black panel. The card base is Shaded Spruce. I stamped "You Are Wonderful" onto a Very Vanilla scrap using Early Espresso and cut around the words. I added a piece of Braided Burlap Trim and a skinny strip of Basic Black Card Stock to the front, then using glue dots attached the sentiment and a small Basic Black Bakers Twine bow. 

Below is a complete list of Stampin' Up! supplies I used to create this card. Just click on any of the supply photos and it will take you directly to my On-line store. 

Happy Stamping and Creating!
