Sketch Saturday - Cottage Rose

I love a black and white card so when I saw this week’s challenge I decided to use the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper.

 
 

Here’s the sketch from the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I used the sketch but mine is completely different, lacking the bright, bold colors!

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Basic Black Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White Layer - 5 3/8 x 4 1/8

  • Cut 6 pieces of the Designer Series Paper at 2 x 1 3/4. I used 2 different patterns. Lay them on the white layer leaving a border around the outside and adhere them.

  • Basic Black - 2 5/8 x 2 5/8

  • Basic White - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, stamp sentiment in top corner with Black Memento Ink. I used Post-It Tape to cover the Birthday, inked the Happy part, took off the Post-It Tape and stamped it. Clean the stamp and then repeat only cover the Happy part.

  • Stamp the large floral image with Black Memento Ink and cut with coordinating Die. Color the flower with Soft Pastels using Sponge Daubers. I used Poppy Parade for the flower and Mossy Meadow for the leaves and then added a little Night of Navy to the small flowers using a cotton swab.

  • Adhere the white square to the black square. Adhere flower to white square.

  • Adhere square to the card using Dimensionals.

  • Add some Iridescent Pearls.

 
 

Before I added the color, I snapped a picture to show how it looks with only black and white. Which do you like better?

 
 

On the inside stamp sentiment and one of the trio of flowers with Black Memento Ink. Color the flower with Soft Pastels if desired. Add a 3/4 x 4 strip of the Designer Series Paper to the bottom.

Beautiful Silent Night Christmas Card

I made this beautiful Christmas Card using the Peace To You Stamp Set. The Starry Sky Ink was perfect for stamping this image.

 
 

I love the images and sentiments in this stamp set. I used the Stamparatus so I could stamp the image multiple times to get good coverage.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Starry Sky Cardstock - cut using the Fabulous Frames Dies (for the frame)

  • Fussy Cut the image.

  • Adhere Glimmer Paper to card base and then adhere stamped image to it. When you adhere the stamped image make sure it hangs a little below the Glimmer Paper so the bottom edge is covered by the frame to give it a clean look.

  • Adhere the frame around the Glimmer Paper.

  • Stamp sentiment with Starry Sky Ink on a 1/2” strip of Basic White and punch each end using the Banners Pick A Punch. Adhere with Dimensionals.

Here’s the card I made for this week’s sketch challenge using the Spruced Up Bundle and Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper.

 
 

The sketch is from the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I love doing their sketch challenges.

 
 

The Spruced Up Bundle has fun images and I love that the dies cut the outline of the image separately so you have a thin outline and then a full inside. I used the tree dies and cut the trees from the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper.

  • Basic White - 3 7/8 x 2 7/8, adhere to green layer.

  • Adhere the trees to the white layer. I used Dimensionals for the larger tree and Liquid Glue on the smaller tree.

  • Adhere layer with trees to card making sure to put adhesive only on the left side. You don’t want it to stick on the right side to the inside layer.

  • Stamp sentiment with Real Red Ink on a 1/2” strip of Basic White and banner each end. I used the Banner Pick A Punch.

  • Banner each end of a 5/8” strip of Garden Green Cardstock and adhere behind the sentiment. Add to card using Dimensionals.

Beautiful Fall Card using the Aspen Tree Dies

I wasn’t sure about the Aspen Tree Dies but decided to get them when they were added to the Sale-a-bration products and I’m so glad I got them. The background layer with the trees and the beautiful leaves were cut with these dies.

 
 

This large die creates a great background layer. I lightly sponged them using one of our Sponge Daubers. The dies for the leaves emboss and cut and they are beautiful!

 
 

The leaves were cut from the Brushstroke Specialty Paper. It has gorgeous textured patterns and it works so well with the leaf dies.

  • Lightly sponge some Crumb Cake Ink on the trees with a Sponge Dauber. Blot it on a piece of scrap before adding to the piece to keep it light.

  • Adhere the sponged layer to the other Very Vanilla Layer using Dimensionals. I used the regular and mini Dimensionals to get a good sturdy layer.

  • Adhere the layers to the card base.

  • Brushstroke Specialty Paper - cut one large and 2 small leaves from the Soft Succulent paper.

  • Stamp sentiment with Soft Succulent Ink and cut with the coordinating Rustic Pumpkin Dies.
