Sending Healing Hugs

 

Sending Healing Hugs

Today my card is a mini slimline card. It measures 6" x 2 7/8". 

I designed this card for the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! Check them out HERE.

I started with Soft Succulent Card Stock cut to 6" x 5 3/4" and I scored it at 2 7/8" to create my card base.

I stamped a floral image from the Color And Contour Stamp Set repeatedly onto the card front using Soft Succulent Ink.

I added a 6" x 3/4" strip of Evening Evergreen Card Stock across the front of the card and then I wrapped some Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the card and tied a knot on the left hand side.

Die cut a Basic White label using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Stamp the sentiment using Evening Evergreen Ink.

Add a few Genial Gems to the label and some to the flower centres. 

That's it! Pretty simple!

I hope you like todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Masculine Split Front Card Technique

Masculine Split Front Card Technique And A Bonus Card!

It's great when you find a layout that you like then make a few cards using the same layout but change up the papers, stamps, dies, punches etc! 

Here is my masculine/kids/everyone design:

I stamped the turtle directly onto the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper then punched it out with the coordinating Turtle Punch! Isn't that paper pattern a great turtle shell! I added a cute bowtie as well.

Directions:

Follow the template below to cut your Designer Series Paper. 

*Tip: If your paper has a directional pattern be careful when cutting.

My card base is Misty Moonlight, 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2".

After cutting your Designer Series Paper following the above template, attach it to a piece of 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Basic White Card Stock and attach it to the card base.

Stamp the sentiment from A Grand Kid Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink.

Stamp the turtle from the Turtle Friends Bundle onto a piece of the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper using Memento Black Ink. Punch out with the coordinating Turtle Punch and attach to the card front using Dimensionals. 

Stamp a bowtie using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S, cut out and attach to the turtle using a Glue Dot. 

Add 3 Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the top right side of the card to finish it off.

Here is another version of the same layout and technique. 

I used the Color And Contour Stamp Set and matching Scalloped Dies to create this card.

The Designer Series Paper is from the same pack as the card above, Pattern Party. This DSP is a host reward that you can get for free!! Contact me for more details!

The card base is Coastal Cabana, 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2".

After cutting the DSP following to the above template, attach it to a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White C/S then attach it to the card base.

Stamp the sentiment from the Color And Contour Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink. 

Stamp a flower from the Color And Contour Stamp Set onto Basic White C/S using Memento Black Ink. Color in using Dark Granny Apple Green and Light and Dark Coastal Cabana Stampin' Blends. Once dry, add some Wink Of Stella to the flower. Die cut using the coordinating flower die from the Scalloped Contours Die Set. Attach the flower to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add some Subtle Shimmer Sequins to finish off the card. 

I hope you liked my cards today! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!!
