Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique


Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in.  I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.  

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match.  It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!  

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies.  You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles.  What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame!  See it here in the online store. 

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first.  Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center.  Then huff and stamp.  Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.

  • Life is Beautiful Fancy Fold card with Plaid Tidings


    Check out this pretty fancy fold card in rich but unusual fall colors!

    The colors are Pumpkin Pie with Blackberry Bliss taken from the pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper seen here.  Stampin' Up! is amazing at color combination with the papers.  This versatile paper is on sale through October! 

    I created this on a recent Facebook Live. I'll share the dimensions for you here:

    Measurements:

    • Blackberry Bliss – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for back and 4" X 11" scored at 2" and 3 3/4" from each end
    • Pumpkin Pie 3 3/4" square
    • Very Vanilla – 2 pieces at 3 1/2" square plus a scrap for the die-cut
    • Plaid Tidings DSP – 2 pieces at 4" X 3/4" 

    Details:

    • I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and the leaves in Pumpkin Pie & Blackberry bliss, stamping off once or twice first. 
    • I added a few 'Sequins for Everything' among the leaves. 
    • The greeting label is cut with the Ornate Frames dies and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. 

    I hope you like it!  I'll be sharing lots more cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set this week!  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!

  • Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!


    At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween.  But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!  

    I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

    Here's the first one.  Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?!  There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all.  You can see the video below.  

    I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here.  I love the pretty purple/blue background!  The two owls are die-cut using the same die set.  I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins. 

    This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above.  I did cut out one extra.  I stamped and colored directly on them. 

    Other details:

    • A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.  
    • The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
    • the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags. 
    • The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.

    I stamped directly onto pieces of the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Did you know it's on sale this month?  Check out all 15 packs of paper on sale here.
