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.

  • Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!

    Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it!  You won't find that at Hallmark!  Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card. 

    I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it.

    The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns.  It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns.  In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper.  The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?  

    I used the Stitched Nested Label dies.  I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP.  I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

    Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine!  I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry.  You can see these products below in my store.

  • Quarter Diagonal cards; watch on FB Live tonight!

    If you're like most stampers you have a LOT of Designer Paper stocked up.  I've been on a mission to use mine up and help you with ideas to use yours too.  There's always more we want; so here's a way to use some so you don't feel so bad about purchasing more!  Ha! 

    Below are the cards we're making tonight on Facebook Live – Stamp with Me.  It's the 2nd and 4th Monday nights each month at 7:30 pm CT.  Join me here. 

    Be sure to follow my FB page so you get notified when I'm live.

    I chose to use the Magic in the Night designer paper; seen here in our Halloween DSP in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I love the colors of Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Black, Blackberry Bliss and White.  And as you can see some of the designs are not all Halloween!

    The greetings and die-cuts are from the Celebration Tidings Bundle seen here.  I love that it has multiple holidays and these dies are amazing! 

    Celebration Tidings Save

    Here's how you create the diagonal layers; it's so easy! 

    For 2 cards, cut 2 pieces of Designer paper (or card stock) at 4" X 5 1/4". Then cut each in half on the diagonal. Next put those pieces back together on your paper trimmer to reform the full piece (just placing; not gluing) and cut on the diagonal in the other direction. Now you'll have 4 triangle shaped pieces from one 4" X 5 1/4" piece.
    I chose two coordinating pieces of DSP that would work on all 4 sides and that makes 2 full card fronts.

    For the card below I chose to use the Gilded Autumn specialty DSP.  The colors here are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Vanilla.

    This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch.  Click here to see it online.  We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can.  Click here to see her blog.

    Aren't they fun?  I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others.

    The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso.  That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack.
