Swirly Scribbles ‘Marquetry’ card

Posted on June 28, 2016July 12, 2016 by Josee

Hello!

Have you heard of intarsia or marquetry? They are wood inlay techniques that I truly admire the look of. I'm sure it takes quite a bit of talent and patience to create some of the amazing designs out of different types of wood or wood veneers, or differently stained pieces to create those peices of art. When I started out to create this card, Intarsia and Marquetry was what came to mind. It does take a tiny bit of patience and some forethought to get the look, but probably not as much 'talent' required as the Big Shot dies do the really hard work. smiley 

This card was made using the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, the Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Greatest Greetings stamp set for the sentiment.

How To Make It: 

I started this card with a base of Whisper White Thick cardstock.

On the Peekaboo Peach layer, I layed out the Swirly Scribbles Big Shot dies to get an idea of how I wanted the design to look. Then, I started to run the Peekaboo Peach layer through the Big Shot with the swirly dies, keeping track of the cut pieces as some of them will be used in the final design. 

Then, I cut the same die cuts out of the Playful Palette Designer Series Papers and set those aside. 

I cut the leaves from the Swirly Scribbles dies out of the Peekaboo Peach layer.

Now, behind the Peekaboo Peach layer, I added a full layer of the Emerald Envy cardstock.

Before adhering the layers together, I did a dry run and placed all the die cut pieces how I wanted them to go. I laid the Peekaboo Peach layer on the Emerald Envy layer and then started adding the die cut Playful Palette papers, also adding some of the Peekaboo Peach die cuts back in to fill in some of the spaces I did not want to be green. I left some of the 'spaces' empty so the Emerald Envy would show through. 

Once I was happy with the design, I adhered the Emerald Envy layer to the back of the Peekaboo Peach layer and then used the Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere all the die cuts. 

While I allowed that to dry, I created the sentiment strip with the stamp from Greatest Greetings and then using the Banner Triple Punch I punched the tip and did the same to the mat layer beneath which also uses the Playful Palette Designer Series Paper.  

Once the 'marquetry' layer was dried, I ran it through the Big Shot in the Lovely Lace Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then adhered that to the card base and added the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Party Pop Up Thinlits and Confetti TIEF Birthday Card

Posted on May 13, 2016May 9, 2016 by Josee

Hello! Happy Friday!

What are you up to this weekend? I do hope you have some stamping time laid out for your weekend!

I really can't believe that we are already mid-May! That means there is only 2 more weeks left of the current Stampin' Up catalogues AND that means if you have retiring items on your wish list, you have only 2 more weeks to get them!! 

Now, today's card is an elegant and fairly simple to make card. I actually did not use any stamp sets on this one!  The Party Pop-Up Thinlits make an amazing center piece on this card!

Party Pop Up Thinlits and Confetti Textured Embossing Folder, birthday card, Stampin Up

How To Make It: 

This card starts with a card base of Whisper White Thick. Then, I cut a mat layer of Whisper White– before I ran the sheet through the Big Shot, I took the Pool Party ink pad and rubbed ink along the inside of the Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, then put the Whisper White sheet in the embossing folder and ran that through the Big Shot. Out came an embossed and colored background piece that was then adhered to the card base.

Then, I used the Party Pop-Up Thinlit to cut a piece of Silver Foil Sheet. Before adding that to the center of the embossed layer, I used Paper Snips to carefully cut off the little bits that would have created the pop up effect. Then, some 2 Way Glue was used to adhere the die cut to the card front. 

To finish the card off, I added some Rhinestones Basics Jewels for a bit of sparkle!

Stamps: 

None!! No stamping on this card!  

Paper: 

Whisper White-100730, Whisper White Thick-104272 , Silver Foil Sheets-132178  

Ink:

Pool Party-126982  

Other: 

Rhinestones Basic Jewels-119247, Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder- 140592, Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies-140620, 2 Way Glue Pen-100425, SNAIL- 104332, Paper Snips- 103579

Santa’s Gifts Christmas Card

Posted on November 18, 2015November 18, 2015 by Josee
November's HOSTESS CODE is: HHYBZP2P
Use it to qualify for Jo-Jo Points; click to find out more

Good Morning!

If you missed yesterdays announcement about the Holiday Retired list, check it out here. 

Today's card features a Christmas stamp set from the Annual catalogue!

Santa's Gifts, hand stamped, Christmas card, snowflake elements, Merry Moments dsp, Lots of Labels Framelits, Big Shot, watercolor, masking, easy card

This card was started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock. I am loving it for card bases! Then adhere the Merry Moments paper onto the card base. 

Stamp Santa on Whisper White, stamp the ‘gift’ using a Post It note ‘mask’ (see tip below) to allow Santa to hold the gift. 

Tip about the Post-It note mask: I also stamped Santa on a little sticky post it note, with the sticky side to the left, then I cut around his hand and front of his body to create the mask. Ideally you don't want to cut the sticky part off. After he was also stamped on the Whisper White, I lay the mask down on top of the stamped image to cover it, then stamped the gift over his hand. When you remove the mask it will look like Santa is holding the gift because you won't see the part of the gift box that is 'in' his hands. 

Run the stamped Whisper White layer through the Big Shot with the Lots of Labels Framelits, and cut the next size up in Cherry Cobbler cardstock. 

Use Aqua Painters and Cherry Cobbler ink to colour the Santa. Tip: You can use a marker and the Aqua Painter (I like to use a clear acrylic block and colour the marker onto it, then pick up the ink with the Aqua Painter), or use a stamp pad by pressing the ink pad onto the lid before sliding it open and picking up the ink with the Aqua Painter, or just use a drop of ink from a bottle of refill ink to ink up the Aqua Painter. 

Adhere to the Cherry Cobbler mat and adhere to the Merry Moments DSP layer.

Stamp the sentiment on Whisper White and punch with the Washi Label punch, adhere to the front of the card. Add a Snowflake Element using the glue dots

Supplies Used: (Items in pink are Retiring products!)
