Wisteria Flower

Good morning! I have a card to share with you that I created quite a while ago. Take a look: 

• Stamps: Sassy Salutations
• DSP: Tea for Two
• Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Lucky Limeade, Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder
• Ink: Early Espresso
• Accessories: Blossom Punch, Silver Glimmer Paper, Snow Flurry Die, In Color Designer Brads, Rhinestones, Honeycomb embossing folder, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I started off by cutting a piece of Crumb Cake card stock 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored it at 4-1/4”. Next I cut a piece of Tea for Two DSP 2” x 4-1/4”. I sponged both long edges of the DSP with Early Espresso ink and then adhered the DSP onto the left side of the card front. I stamped the greeting from Sassy Salutations onto the bottom right corner of the card front in Early Espresso ink.

I then ran the card front through the Big Shot in the Honeycomb embossing folder and sponged around the outside edges to highlight some of the texture detail. The flower was from scraps in my scrap bin. The Lucky Limeade lacy circle was die cut from the Perfect Pennants Die, the Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant flowers were punched with the Blossom Punch, and the Silver Glimmer Paper piece is from the Slow Flurries Die that is retired now. 

I stacked the flowers and Glimmer Paper up and used my Paper Piercer and Stampin' Pierce Mat to pierce a hole in the center and added a Wisteria Wonder patterned brad. Then I adhered the flower to the lacy circle with a Stampin' Dimensional, and the whole thing was adhered onto the card front with a Stampin' Dimensional. To finish it off I added a couple of Rhinestones next to the greeting for just a little more bling. 

I love using things in my scrap bin to put together a nice card! What do you think?

Thank U!

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday! Sorry I’ve been MIA this last week and a half. I have been so busy trying to get my projects for my Artisan Design Team Contest entry done and with the Make and Take last week. I just got the supplies from the Make and Take put away last night! Sorry, no peeking. You don’t get to see the projects I made until after I get back from Convention.

Anyway… on to the Friday Mashup card from last weeks challenge. I’ll post the challenge for this week this afternoon.

• Stamps: A Round Array
• DSP: Quatrefancy
• Card Stock: Strawberry Slush, Whisper White
• Ink: Strawberry Slush
• Accessories: 7/8” Scalloped Circle Punch, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Dazzling Details , Stampin’ Dimensionals

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using "the sketch".
2. Create a "set of cards".
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "set of cards using the sketch".

I guess I missed the mash up part huh? I didn’t even realize that until yesterday. Oops!  Oh well. I started off with a piece of Strawberry Slush card stock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4”. I had these scraps sitting in my bin from the fabulous new Quatrefancy DSP. I used most of one package to make some 3D swaps for convention.  So I cut down the pieces to 2” x 3” and 2” x 2-1/2”. I adhered the DSP onto the card front.

I stamped the greeting from A Round Array ( I love this set!) in Strawberry Slush onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock, then punched it out with my 7/8” Scalloped Circle Punch. I already had the Whisper White label shape that was cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits. So I just used a Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere the scalloped circle onto the label, and another to adhere the label onto the card. Just to add a little bit of sparkle, because a card always has to have at least a little bit of sparkle, I added some Dazzling Details around the Whisper White label shape.

Bright, fun, and cheerful! Did you get a chance to play along with last week’s Friday Mashup challenge? Take a look at the Rock Starand Glammettes that were chosen!

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using "A Monochromatic Color Scheme".
2. Create a project "using Baker's Twine".
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Monochromatic project using some Baker's Twine".

I was in a hurry so everything that I used for this card was already out on my table top or in my scrap bin. I love monochromatic cards! So much fun! So I went with my all-time favorite color Pool Party! You have no idea how relieved I was when I saw Stampin’ Up was keeping Pool Party.

Back to the card... I started off with a piece of Pool Party (the best color EVER!) card stock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored it at 4-1/4”. Next I adhered a piece of Pool Party Core’dinations that was 3-1/2” x 5-1/4” and already textured with the Honeycomb embossing folder and sanded. I cut a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper 1/2” x 5-1/4” and adhered it just above the textured card stock.

I cut a scrap of Sycamore Street DSP down to 1-1/2” x 3-3/4”. I stamped the greeting from Perfectly Penned onto the DSP in Midnight Muse ink and used Paper Snips to cut the right side in a dove-tail shape. I adhered this onto the card front with Anywhere Glue Stick on the left side and a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right side.  Next I took some of the flowers from the Pop Up Posies Designer kit, stacked them up, pierced them with my Paper Piercing Tool and Stampin’ Pierce Mat and added a brad from the kit in the center of the flower.

I fluffed up the petals then sprayed the flower with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Sprtiz before adhering it onto the left side of the banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally I just wrapped a long piece of Pool Party Baker’s Twine around the card a few times and tied it into a bow. 

If you have a chance head on over to the Friday Mashup to see what the rest of the design team has created and maybe even play along!
