Here is my card!

I just love how this card came together!

Directions For The Card Front:

Cut Night Of Navy Card Stock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". This is the card base.

Cut Basic White C/S to 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and attach to the Night Of Navy card base.

Cut a piece of Boho Blue C/S to 5 1/8" x 4".

Using the new "Stars At Night Stamp Set" and Night Of Navy Ink stamp some stars on the upper left and lower right bottom of the Boho C/S layer using second generation ink. **Tip, I inked up the stamp, stamped off once onto scrap paper then stamped onto the layer. This is called second generation inking. If you want an even lighter look, stamp off two times onto scrap paper for a third generation inking.

Using the edge of your Paper Snips, rough up the edges of the Boho C/S layer. Attach this layer to the card base using Dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Night Of Navy C/S to 5 3/8" x 1 1/2". 

Cut a piece of One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper to 5 3/8" x 1 3/8" and attach it to the Night Of Navy C/S strip. I used the piece that has the white dots with the Night Of Navy background.

Cut 2- 6 1/2" pieces of the new "Night Of Navy & Gold Glittered Ribbon". Attach them to the Night Of Navy/DSP strip, using tape to adhere the ribbon to the back. Using Tear And Tape Adhesive, attach this strip to the card base.

Die cut a 2 1/2" circle using Basic White C/S and the Layering Circles Dies or a punch.

Punch out a circle using Vellum C/S and the Decorative Circle Punch.

Stamp a star using Night Of Navy Ink and the "Stars At Night Stamp Set" onto the Vellum circle. Set aside to dry. Once dry, attach the Vellum circle to the Basic White circle then using Dimensionals attach it to the card base. 

Cut a 1/2" x 4 1/2" strip from a lighter piece of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. Stamp the sentiment using Night Of Navy Ink. Flag cut one end and attach to the card front using Tear And Tape Adhesive.

I added a Linen Thread bow and some new gold "Blooming Pearls" to finish off the card front.

Directions For The Card Inside:

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

Stamp some stars down the right side using the "Stars At Night Stamp Set" and Night Of Navy Ink third generation. 

Cut a thin strip of the One Horse Open Sleigh DSP and attach to the bottom of the layer. Attach this layer to the inside of the card. 

This card has lots of sparkle and small details. 

Happy Stamping And Creating!

(New Post) Freshly Made Sketches #575

 

Easter Bunny For Freshly Made Sketches #575

It's a new week and another challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches! 

I just love the Sweet Sorbet In-Color! Why haven't I used it before! It's so vibrant!

Here is my happy, cute, adorable Easter Card!

I used the Easter Bunny Bundle to create todays card. The Easter Bunny Punch is on backorder but you can very easily fussy cut it out. 

Directions:

Cut a piece of Thick Basic White Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and emboss it using the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder. 

Cut a piece of the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper to 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" and attach to the embossed layer using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.  Attach this panel to the card base using Dimensionals.

Die cut a Basic White C/S circle using the Layering Circles Dies. Attach to the card base using Dimensionals. 

Punch out a bunny using the Bunny Punch and a piece of the Country Gingham DSP. *Tip: If you don't have the Bunny Punch, stamp the bunny onto the DSP and fussy cut. When you stamp the bunny use a very light colour of ink so that it barely shows.

Attach the bunny to the Basic White C/S circle using Dimensionals.

Using Memento Black Ink, stamp the floral sprig onto Basic White C/S. Colour using Stampin' Blends. I used Soft Sea Foam and Sweet Sorbet. Fussy cut out and attach to the bunny.

Stamp the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet Ink onto a strip of Basic White C/S. Attach to the card using Dimensionals. 

I used the same floral sprig and stamped it using Sweet Sorbet Ink on the inside of the card and on the envelope. 

Here is another card I made using the same supplies. I just changed the DSP.

Be sure to check out all the other amazing projects over at Freshly Made Sketches HERE!

I hope you enjoyed todays card! 

Happy Stamping and Creating!

I have been very busy in my craft room preparing lots of different projects for a 4 day craft fair I will be participating in November 3-6. This is my very first craft fair and I am so excited!! 

I used the Kraft Gift Boxes to hold my cards sets. Each box has 4 coordinating cards with matching envelopes. I kept the boxes very simple, just a ribbon and embellishment, because I loved how the card front shows through the box window!

I used a lot of different supplies! You could easily create these projects with 1 stamp set, 1 package of Designer Series Paper, 1 punch or die set and some assorted embellishments.

I hope you enjoy all my projects!!! All the supplies I used are listed below. 

The cards are all Basic White Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4". The Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper is cut to 4" x 5 1/4". 

*Tip: Be careful when cutting the DSP as some of the pieces have a direction.

For these 2 cards I used a a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper, then added 3 coordinating strips of DSP measuring 4" x 3/4".

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

Happy Stamping and Creating!
