Lost Lagoon Birthday Card

 Lost Lagoon Birthday Card

I'm so happy that Stampin' Up! brought back Lost Lagoon to its colour families! It's such a pretty colour! It looks so great paired with Basic Black too!

Directions:

Cut a Basic White Card Stock base to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score in half at 4 1/4".

Cut a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper and attach it to the card front.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 5" x 3 3/4" and attach to the card front.

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4 1/8" x 3". Using Lost Lagoon Ink and the large flower from Artistically Inked Stamp Set, stamp the flower in the center/top of this layer. Stamp the flower center using Daffodil Delight Ink. Die cut out the flower. 

The negative is attached to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Using Dimensionals on the back of the flower, place it back inside the negative cut out. I love the way that the Basic Black C/S shows around the flower!

Die cut a Basic Black C/S leaf sprig. Cut off 2 leafs and tuck them slightly under the flower using a Glue Dot. 

Cut out 2 very thin pieces of Basic Black C/S. Fold and glue the ends together to make 2 loops. Tuck them under the flower attaching with Glue Dots. This is a fun and easy way to add some more interest and dimension to a card.

On a strip of Basic White C/S stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink. I also added a coordinating strip of the Inked Botanicals DSP at the end of the sentiment strip. Attach it to the card front using Dimensionals.

Tie a bow using Black Bakers Twine, attach with a Glue Dot.

Attach a large Rhinestone to the center of the flower, then surround it with the smaller Rhinestones.

Add a few more Rhinestones to finish off the card.

I stamped a smaller Lost Lagoon flower inside the card and on the envelope.

Artistically Inked For Freshly Made Sketches

 

Artistically Inked Thank You Card

Hello and welcome to another Freshly made Sketch Challenge Card. I love joining this sketch challenge, it's helps me with my creativity!

Be sure to check out all the other cards here at Freshly Made Sketches!

This is the sketch layout that we followed this week.

Here is my interpretation of the sketch! 

                   

This card is very simple to make, it is only using stamps, inks and papers. You don't need any fancy tools to re-create this card. 

Directions:

Cut a Petal Pink Card Stock base to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score in half at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and attach to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

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

Stamp the large flower using Petal Pink Ink onto the Basic White C/S layer.

Stamp the leaves using Soft Sea Foam Ink.

Stamp the flower center using Daffodil Delight Ink.

Stamp "thanks" 3 times over top of the flower using Memento Black Ink.

Attach this panel to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

For the inside I did the same stamping as I did for the card front.

I stamped the front of the envelope using the same stamp pads but I used the smaller flower from the stamp set. No naked envelopes!! 

                                           That's it!!!! Easy right!

I love hearing from you, please leave me a comment!

(New Post) A Little Bird Told Me......

 A Little Bird Told Me.......

How adorable is this little blue bird! Can you spot the two new Stampin' Up! colors that I used?

Directions:

Cut the So Saffron Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and stamp 2 branches using Early Espresso Ink, the leaves using Garden Green Ink and the flowers using Berry Burst Ink. 

Emboss this panel using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder.

Attach this panel to the card base.

 On a scrap piece of Basic White C/S, stamp the bird and wing using Azure Afternoon Ink, the beak using Daffodil Delight Ink. Add the eyes using Memento Black Ink. Punch out using the coordinating Bird Punch.

Attach the birds wing using Dimensionals and the beak using a dot of glue.

Using a scrap of Crumb Cake C/S and Early Espresso Ink, stamp a nest. Take a Blending Brush and add some Crumb cake Ink to the edges of the nest. 

Attach the nest using Dimensionals to the branch.

Add some Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to the back of the bird and tuck the bird into the nest. 

Add a small bit of Stampin' Seal Adhesive to the card and add a few loops of Silver Thread into the glue.

Stamp the sentiment using Azure Afternoon Ink onto a small strip of Basic White C/S. Flag cut one end. Attach over top of the Silver Thread using Dimensionals.

Add some Rhinestones to the center of the flowers.

The two new colors that I used are Azure Afternoon for the bird and Berry Burst for the flowers. 

For the inside I stamped the sentiment using Azure Afternoon Ink and the flowers in Berry Burst Ink. 

I hope you have enjoyed todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
