Perfectly Pencilled Just Because - Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop - Colour Challenge

Hi Everyone,

The theme for this hop was a colour challenge - Black & White with a pop of colour - I'm using Polished Pink and a touch of Soft Succulent with the Perfectly Pencilled designer series papers.

Materials

1 piece of basic black card 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of polished pink card 4" x 5 3/4", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"

1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 3" x 4"

True Beauty stamp set

Polished Pink Stampin' Blends

Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends

Memento Black ink

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Glossy Dots

Instructions

On the long side score the basic black card at 4 1/4" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Add the polished pink mat layer and then the larger dsp layer to the card front.

Colour in some of the flowers in the dsp with Stampin' Blends and then add this piece to the polished pink mat and add to the card front using dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of white and the remaining large piece of white for the inside. Add the sentiment to the scrap of basic black and then add to the card front with dimensionals and add the larger piece to the inside of the card.

Add a couple of glossy dots and the card is complete. This is a very simple design which you can use to use up scraps of dsp for quick cards.

Adhere the larger piece of dsp to the polished pink base.

Stamp the floral image and a sentiment on the front of the white section and another on the third for the inside of the card.

Adhere the remaining dsp to the middle section of the white card.

Tie the ribbon around the folded white sections and adhere to the centre of the polished pink base.

Add some butterflies and the card is complete.

Basic Borders Meets True Beauty - Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Stand Alone Dies

Hi Everyone,

Today I have been playing with the Basic Border dies and the True Beauty Bundle and made a pretty card using some of my favourite colours, Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky.

Materials

1 piece of Starry Sky card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of basic white card stock 4" x 5 7/8", 1 piece 2" x 5 7/8", scraps for the sentiment and stamping

1 piece of Tahitian Tide 3 1/2" x 5 7/8"

True Beauty stamp set

Organic Beauty dies

Basic Border dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine

Best Label Punch

Starr Sky ink

Tahitian Tide ink

Parakeet Party ink

Opal Rounds

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side score the Starry Sky card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Run the front edge of this card base through the Cut & Emboss machine with the chosen die in place, any of the dies in this set will work in the way that I have made my card.

Run the Tahitian Tide and basic white piece through using the same die so that all of the centre points will line up as in the photo. Adhere them in place.

Stamp several flowers and leaves (I've chopped the leaves apart to make single ones) and die cut them. Arrange these on the card front and fix in place, I've used dimensionals on some of them. Add opal rounds to the flower centres.

On the remaining piece of white card, stamp a flower and then adhere in place on the inside of the card. Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out with the Best Label Punch, add a contrasting colour one too and add them to the card front as shown.
