Tasteful Touches

Tasteful Touches In Coral

Here is my card for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. Check out all the other amazing projects!

https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2020/07/freshly-made-sketches-444-sketch-by-jen.html

My card base is a 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock scored at 4 1/4". I embossed the front using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

I stamped the flower from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set onto a 3x3" piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock using Smoky Slate Ink. I like to outline my image with the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend Marker to help the image pop! I then coloured the flower with Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends and a Light Daffodil Delight Blend for the flower center. I added some white dots to the center using the Chalk Marker.

The sentiment is stamped onto a piece of scrap Very Vanilla Card Stock using Pretty Peacock Ink and cut out with my Paper Snips.

I mounted this panel onto a 3" x 31/4" piece of Early Espresso Card Stock. I added a 21/2" X 1/2" strip of Pretty Peacock C/S under the panel. I stamped this small strip with the floral image from the Tasteful Touched Stamp Set using Pretty Peacock Ink.

The main panel is popped up using Dimensionals as is the sentiment.

I hope you enjoy todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Blossoms In Bloom Bundle

How beautiful is this Bundle!!

The Die set has the outline flower detail and the inside detail. The colour combinations are endless! Use a Foil Sheet for some beautiful shine and a soft tone for the inside flower. There are lots of sentiments in this set. The stamp set is also a "Distinktive" set, this means lots of detail and shading in the flowers. This Bundle is on page 51 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue.

Happy Stamping and Creating!

Sea Turtle Double Point Card!!

Sea Turtle Double Point Card

I am so happy that Stampin' Up! has a Sea Turtle stamp AND bright beautiful matching Designer Series Paper! The bundle is called "Whale Done",

it's on page 96 of the Annual catalogue. The "Whale Of A Time" DSP is on page 150. I love that this bundle comes with a matching punch; so quick and easy to punch out the Whale from the DSP, it fits perfectly.

Here is my card for this weeks sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Check them out here:

Freshly Made Sketches

Isn't that Sea Turtle adorable!!!!!

This is a Double Point Card. Imagine all the possibilities using different DSP!

The card base is a single layer of Pretty Peacock C/S measuring 5 1/2"x 4 1/4", the Whisper White layer is 4"x 5 1/8". You need 2 pieces of DSP measuring 3"x4", score at 1" on the long edge, then fold each corner to the centre of the score line to create a point. The 1" part gets glued to the back of the Whisper White layer. The 2 flaps of the triangle are glued down. Do this on both ends. I die cut 2 Stitched Nested Labels: 1 in Pretty Peacock and 1 a size smaller using the Whale Of A Time DSP, then attach together. The DSP does all the work for me, it is so detailed and just a perfect background for my little Sea Turtle! I cut out the Sea Turtle from the DSP with my Paper Snips and attached it using Dimensionals. The label is only attached to the top portion of the card using Dimensionals, the bottom tucks into the sentiment strip.

The sentiment is stamped with Pretty peacock Ink. I used Just Jade and Pretty Peacock Inks to stamp the inside of the card.

Hope you enjoy todays card!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
