Beautiful Peacock + Bold Butterfly

Posted on January 24, 2018 by Josee

Hey stampers! How’s your Wednesday going? As I look out my office window, all I see is SUN and I love it! It was so dreary, windy and cold yesterday and it is so nice to see sunshine!

I certainly do not see butterflies…lol…but, that’s the beauty of card-making, we can create lovely projects that at least make us FEEL like it’s spring/summer! 😉

Instructions:

1. Adhere the black strip to the bottom of the card.
2. Attach the ¾” strip of Painted with Love over the black piece.
3. Ink up the Peacock feathers stamp in Calypso Coral ink and stamp it on the cardstock base at an angle going from the top right corner down to the center.
4. Ink up the stamp again and stamp in the lower left angling up to the center.
5. Cut the outline butterfly in the normal way. Tip for cutting the detailed butterfly. Place the magnetic platform in the Big Shot, place one cutting pad on top.

6. Place the die cutting side UP on the cutting pad.

7. Place the cardstock on top of the die.

8. Place a well used plate that has started to curve on top so the ends are going up. The curve plates will roll with the cutting side of the die giving you a better cut.
9. Adhere the patterned paper butterfly shape to the card with SNAIL adhesive.
10. Adhere the detailed black butterfly cut out on top with a glue dot.
11. Tie the tinsel trim around the card and tie. Trim the ends.
12. Give this card to a friend!

Measurements:  

  • Flirty Flamingo: Card Base 5 ½” x 8 ½”
  • Basic Black: 2 ¼” x 3 ¼”, 1” x 5 ½”
  • Painted with Love:  2 ¼” x 3 ¼”, ¾” x 5 ½”
  • Tinsel Trim: 16”

Party Pandas Birthday Card

Posted on January 23, 2018 by Josee

Another snow day! Today was very icy out, so all the buses were cancelled. For some reason, I woke up at around 6am, just in time to tell everyone that it’s a snow day and then I couldn’t fall back asleep. I stayed up for a few hours and then went back to bed till noon…lol.  Strange morning!

I hope your morning has gone well for you!

Today’s card is another adorable one using the PARTY PANDAS Sale-A-Bration stamp set that you can get free with a $60 order. Have I said yet how much I LOVE this stamp set…lol?!

Instructions:

  1. Score the 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” piece of thick white cardstock at 4-1/4” and fold. This will be your card base.
  2. Stamp panda using smoky slate ink all over the smoky slate cardstock. Add to card front.
  3. Using the scallop tag topper punch, punch the top of both the whisper white and basic black cardstock pieces.
  4. Stamp the panda on the white tag using memento ink.
  5. Color using Stampin’ Blends. Note: The smoky slate Stampin’ Blend was used to add just a touch of shading just inside the white areas of the panda.
  6. Add the two tags together using a 3” strip of the smoky slate gingham ribbon.
  7. Wrap a 6” piece of black bakers twine around the ribbon and tie a bow.

Measurements:

  • Thick Whisper White Cardstock: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”            2” x 3-1/2”
  • Smoky Slate Card Stock: 4” x 5-1/4”
  • Basic Black Card Stock: 2” x 3-1/2”
  • Bermuda Bay Cardstock:    1/2” x 2”

Party Pandas Peek-A-Boo card

Posted on January 22, 2018January 22, 2018 by Josee

Happy Monday! Are you ready for a brand new week?!

If you missed it last night, Hailey and I did a FACEBOOK LIVE where we demonstrated 2 great cards. The first one we demoed was using the PARTY PANDA stamp set. This is my favourite stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration sale. YES! You can get this stamp set free with a min. $60 order until the end of March 2018.

If you’ve been around with Stampin’ Up for a while, you probably remember our Crystal Effects. When it went away, we got the Fine-Tip Glue Pen which is basically the same thing, but, with a much nicer tip that is pointy. What I love about it is that you can use it to glue items, but, you can also use it to create a glossy, raised surface just like I did in this card.

Hailey and I did a live video yesterday on our FACEBOOK PAGE, here is the part where we demoed this card! (As this snipet is from a facebook live video…there is a lot of chat between my dauther and I 😉 )
Check out our VIDEO here!

Epic Celebrations meets Brusho!

Posted on January 20, 2018 by Josee

Hey friends! Holy cow, I cannot believe that 4 days have gone by since my last post. So sorry. I’ve been helping kids with crazy homework and projects and then one of my kids got sick.

It’s been a little crazy around here!

This is a card that I made with the help of my 10yr. old daughter. We used a lot of fun products!!! I think we will have to do a video on this one.

Directions:

To create background:

  1. Place Decorative Mask on white cardstock. You can use Washi Tape to keep template in place.
  2. Use the Palette Knife to add Silver Embossing Paste to cardstock. (I purposely did not smear it perfectly as I wanted to create a grungy looking background.)
  3. Carefully peel away the template. Place white cardstock aside to let dry.

To create shoes:

  1. Stamp shoes on Watercolor Paper using Memento Ink.
  2. Tap on Brusho Powder (Gamboge & Brilliant Red) & spritz with water until the colour run together.
  3. Let dry (or use Heat Tool to dry quicker) and then cut out using Paper Snips.

Petal Palette & Color Me Happy

Posted on January 16, 2018January 15, 2018 by Josee

Hey friends! Happy Tuesday! Here is a really pretty card for you today. Don’t you love the deep purple colour on the flowers?

Supplies:

  • Stamp Sets – Color Me Happy (144069)
  • Card Stock – Basic Black (121045); Whisper White (100730)
  • Stamp Pads – Memento Black (132708)
  • Misc. – Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (DSP) (145589); Old Olive Blends Combo (144597); Rich Razzleberry Combo Blends (144602); Pink Pirouette Combo Blends (144604); Dimensionals (104430); Basic Rhinestones (144220)

Measurements:

  • Basic Black:            4 ¼” x 11”,  3 5/8” x 4 7/8”
  • Whisper White: 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” for mat and 4 x 5 ¼” for inside, scrap for sentiment
  • Petal Passion DSP: 3 ½” x 4 ¾” and 1” strip on inside bottom of your white.

Instructions:

  1. Using your Blends color all or just a few of the flowers and leaves using the Old Olive for the leaves, the Rich Razzleberry for the middle flowers and the bottom right and Pink Pirouette for the lighter flowers.
  2. I got different shades some lighter by only using the lighter Blend in the Combo to give varying colors. Some blended some not.
  3. Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black on a scrap of white and cut out. I added that to the card front using Dimensionals. Then added two Rhinestones.

Tip: I like to add a little dark Blend to the inside petals and then blend with the light color in a circular motion. It works well and adds some light spots for you.
