Jelly Fish Punch Art

 Jelly Fish Punch Art

I have been seeing lots of these adorable little sea creatures made with the Tulip Builder Punch or the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch and I just had to make some! Once you start it's hard to stop! This punch would also be great for octopuses.

I used my design for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. 


Isn't he just the cutest little guy ever!!! 


I started with a card base of Calypso Coral cut to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2". 
The basic White layer is 4" x 5 1/4", attach to card base.
The Pacific Point Card Stock is cut to 3 3/4" x 5". 
I cut 3 strips of paper from the Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper and using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue attached them to the Pacific Point C/S at an angle. Trim off any pieces that hang over. 
Emboss this panel using the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder then attach to the Basic White panel. 
Die cut a Basic White circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. Stamp the sentiment onto the circle using Memento Black Ink then emboss the circle using the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder. Attach the circle to the card front using Dimensionals. 
Punch out a tulip/jelly fish using the Tulip Builder Punch and a piece of the Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper.
Colour the jelly fish with Wink Of Stella.
Glue on 2 Wiggly eyes and draw a tiny mouth with a Basic Black Stampin' Blend.
On the back of the jelly fish, attach a small strip of Tear And Tape and stick 4 pieces of ribbon for the tentacles to it. If the ribbon you use is too wide, cut it in half lengthwise. 
Attach the jelly fish to the Basic White circle using Dimensionals
Add some Rhinestones and lots of Whale Of A Time Sequins to finish off the card.



Here are a few other cards I made using the same technique. 




Such goofy eyes!!



Have fun making your own jelly fish!!
Happy Stamping and Creating!

Champagne Foil Overlay

 Champagne Foil Overlay

This is a fast and simple card to make but very elegant. Die cut the overlay, attach it over some Designer Series Paper add a bow, sentiment and some bling! This design layout is great for a wedding card, bridal shower, birthday, Mother's Day or a sympathy card as I have done here.


I started with a Pretty Peacock Card Stock base of 4 1/4 x 11" scored at 5 1/2".

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper and adhere to the card base using Multi-Purpose Glue.

Cut a piece of Champagne Foil to 4" x 5 1/4" and die cut using the Potted Succulents Die overlay. Remove from die very carefully. I opted to not use the border around the die. Attach over the Designer Series Paper very carefully using Multi-Purpose Glue. A little goes a long way. *Tip- use a sponge, dip it into a small puddle of glue and dab it onto the back of the die cut. Make sure to protect your surface and not let the die cut move around. You don't want a gluey mess!

Wrap some Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon around this panel, tie into a knot on the right hand side. Attach this panel to the card base using Multi-Purpose Glue.
*Tip- if you want to attach this panel to the card base using Dimensionals, I recommend attaching it to a piece of 
 Basic White Card Stock 4" x 5 1/4" for added strength. 

Die cut a label using Basic White Card Stock. Stamp sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Attach to card front using Dimentionals. *Tip- when adding Dimensionals to a label that will sit over ribbon, make sure your Dimensionals are attached above and below the ribbon. If they are adhering to the ribbon the label doesn't "sit" properly.

Add 2 Gold Metallic Pearls to the Label.

Elegant Panel Card

 Elegant Panel Card

For todays card I used the beautiful Gilded Leafing Embellishment. It's very easy to use and adds such a rich look!


I started with a card base of Petal Pink Card Stock measuring 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

I cut a piece of Basic White C/S to 3" x 4" and stamped the flowers three times from Art Gallery Stamp Set in Petal Pink Ink.

Using the smallest stamp from the Art Gallery Stamp Set, stamp the petals using VersaMark Ink. Sprinkle on some Heat And Stick Powder, heat set using the Heat Tool. This only takes a moment, heat until the powder turns shiny. Using a stiff brush or your fingers add some Gilded Leafing to the flowers were the Heat And Stick Powder is. This enables the Gilded Leafing to stick to the flowers. Gently brush off excess.

Cut this stamped panel into 4 even pieces, measuring 1" x 4". Don't mix up the pieces, you want to adhere them in order.

Cut a piece of Basic Black C/S to 4 1/2" x 3 1/4". Adhere the floral 1" pieces to the black panel, leaving even spaces all around. I used Multi-purpose Glue. Emboss this panel using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

Wrap some Petal Pink Organdy Ribbon around the card base and tie a knot on the left hand side.

Attach the floral panel using Dimensionals.

Add 3 Champagne Rhinestones to the bottom right.

Thanks for stopping buy. Happy Stamping and Creating!
