Good Morning!

Today's card features another NEW stamp set- Moroccan Nights. This stamp set is part of the Moroccan Suite on page 66 of the Annual Catalogue which includes Moroccan Designer Washi Tape and Moroccan Designer Series Paper, as well as the Moroccan Cardstock pack. This stamp set and full suite lends itself to some really gorgeous cards!

How To Make It:

Stamp the Lanterns from Moroccan Nights and Thank You from One Big Meaning in Black archival ink on Very Vanilla cardstock and allow it to dry.

Sponge Crushed Curry ink starting inside the lanterns (will be the darkest) out across the card stock (lighter as it moves away from the lanterns) using Sponge Daubers.

Start at the top edge sponging Cajun Craze (will be the darkest) moving to blend with the lighter Crushed Curry color

Start at the bottom edge of the card stock sponging Dapper Denim ink and getting lighter as you move up the card. Leave room for the Emerald Envy and blend from the Dapper Denim side (darkest) into the Crushed Curry above (lighter).

Splatter water from your Aqua Painter onto the ombre background. Allow the water to sit for 15-25 seconds and blot excess water off. Let it dry.

Stamp the star from Moroccan Nights around the lanterns with Crushed Curry ink.

Layer and assemble card with the Designer Series Paper, as shown.

You’re Sublime Shaker Card

Posted on June 21, 2016June 21, 2016 by Josee

Hello!

In case you missed it in the new Annual Catalogue, Stampin' Up now carries Foam Adhesive Strips and the Layering Squares Framelits that make making shaker cards super easy!! I LOVE easy!

How To Make It:

First I made the cardbase from Flirty Flamingo and embossed it with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Then, I die cut the scallop squares from Peekaboo Peach cardstock using the new Layering Squares Framelits. I cut the Vellum cardstock square to fit just inside the square 'window'.

On the Vellum cardstock, I used the Black Stazon to stamp the little wheel barrow from You're Sublime. While that dried, I used the Tree Builder punch to punch out several small flowers from Flirty Flamingo, Emerald Envy and Peekaboo Peach cardstock.

The Vellum square was adhered to the Peekaboo Peach frame and then the shaker card was assembled by adding the Foam Adhesive strips around the frame piece. Add the punched flowers to the scallop square base, then add the frame piece.

Before adding the shaker frame to the card base, tie some Silver Metallic Thread around it several times. Then I used some Tear & Tape Adhesive to make sure the shaker frame stays on!

Some of the punched flowers were added the stamped image with some Glue Dots and some details were added with a black Project Life Journalling Pen. Some of the stamped flowers were colored in with the Gold Wink of Stella.

As a final touch, the banner frame and the sentiment from Thoughtful Banners were stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black and Emerald Envy ink. Then it was punched with the Duet Banner punch and adhered to the front.
