Eastern Palace Flower Trio

Posted on May 30, 2017May 29, 2017 by Josee

Before I show you today's card, just a reminder for those of you in the Ottawa area, my Open House is this weekend! Make sure you RSVP!

Today's card is a gorgeous example of how you can use the Eastern Palace Suite from Stampin' Up's 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue.

How To Make This Hand Stamped Card:

Start with a base of Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock.

Add another layer of Very Vanilla cardstock to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the 4-petal die from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies, cut one each from the Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide cardstock. Snip the connecting corners so the die-cut image is released from the cardstock.

Punch 1-1/4” circles from the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and adhere to the Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide die cuts.

Use one of the Eastern Medallions center circle dies and nest inside a Layering Circles Framelits die that is slightly larger so that you get the Lemon Lime Twist center as shown. Adhere to the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Layer the center focal point with a strip of Lemon Lime Twist ½” Finely Woven Ribbon, some Silver Metallic Thread, and the Powder Pink die cut.

Ink up the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set using Berry Burst ink and punch with the 1” Circle Punch.

Ink up the dotted circle image from the Eastern Beauty stamp set using Tranquil Tide ink and die cut with a Layering Circles Framelits die.

Add the sentiment to the dotted circle image using Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the center of the Powder Pink die cut.

Graduation Card

Posted on May 25, 2017May 23, 2017 by Josee

It's that time of year. School is almost over and for some, that means graduation day! Oh, I wish our kids could stop growing just a little, don't you? Today's card is a fun graduation card using some cardstock to make a graduation cap, and the retiring Lucky Stars Embossing Folder for a great background!

How To Make This Graduation Card:

Start with the Basic Black cardstock as a cardbase, then emboss the Whisper White cardstock using the retiring Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Adhere to the cardfront using Fast Fuse adhesive.

Working with a 2-1/2” x 4” piece of Basic Black cardstock, pencil mark the center of all 4 sides at 1-1/4” & 2”, respectively. Place cardstock in trimmer and cut diagonally from center mark to adjacent center mark. Do this on all 4 sides to create a diamond shape for the top of the graduation cap.

Punch 2 half circles in the lower portion of a piece of 2” x 2” Basic Black cardstock using the 1” circle punch. Adhere to back of the diamond shaped black cardstock to create the graduation cap. Adhere the graduation cap to the upper left side of card front using Fast Fuse adhesive.

To Create A Tassel

Take about 20" of Whisper White Baker's Twine and wrap around your 2 fingers about 5 times. Remove from your fingers and wrap remaining twine around top portion of the twine about 3 times; tie knot. Slide excess twine strand thru top loops. Cut lower loops to create tassels.

Punch a 3/4” circle from a scrap piece of Basic Black cardstock. Add a Stampin' Dimensional to the back. Place single twine strand from top of tassel under dimensional and attach to center of cap on card front. Use a Mini Glue Dot to anchor the top of the tassel to cap.

Stamp the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set using Basic Black ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Punch the greeting out using the Classic Label Punch– punching close to the greeting the first time, and punching again at the other end to get a closer punch out.

Punch the Silver Glimmer Paper using the Classic Label Punch. Adhere the punched greeting using Mini Glue Dots onto the Silver Glimmer Paper punchout. Adhere to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

Teeny Tiny Wishes -128748 wood mount, 127802 clear mount

Stampin' Up Paper:

Basic Black-121045; Whisper White-100730
