Victorian Fun

I have been dying to get to these stamps.  I love Victorian anything.  Alesa Baker has a lot of new stamps for Spring and here are some of them.  I am afraid I got so into using the stamps I got a little carried away.

I started out:

• stamping with my Cover-A-Card Screen Stamp onto Neenah Classic Crest Natural cardstock for my background.  Trimmed a piece 4.25"X5.5".  I think any tan or brown colored ink pad would look good.  I used Stampin' Up retired Creamy Caramel. I think Adirondack Caramel will work.
• Used Cover-A-Card Scratch on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.  Trimmed to 3.75"X 5.0". Stamped the Worn Rose image in the upper left corner as shown and painted it with Cherry Sorbet and Olive Green Twinkling H2O's.  Mounted on the Screen cardstock.
• Stamped Rose Ledger on more Neenah Classic Crest Natural cardstock and painted the bottom with the same Twinks. I trimmed around the edges and top scallops. Mounted on Scratch cardstock.
• Stamped the inside pages (Worn Rose Vintage Book) for my book and painted with Twinks.  Trimmed and turned over to emboss the floral areas.  
• Stamped the sentiment, So Glad We're Friends, on the right side. Folded.
• Stamped the cover for my book, Vintage Worn Rose Cover,  trimmed, painted floral image, turned over and embossed the floral image, and mounted on folded vintage book pages.
• Punched butterflies with MS 3-in-1 Butterfly punch.  Mounted with Glossy Accents.  Pearls on the butterflies are 2mm from HERE.and were placed with a Sticky Stick and Glossy Accents.  The pearls on the bottom right are probably 3mm and are from Mark Richards Crystal White Pearl stickers.
•  Ribbon and lace are leftovers from other projects.
• The ribbon buckle is from Fancifuls.  

Below are photos of what I did for the inside of the card, the envelope, and inside the little book!

The scratch areas on the envelope were done after using a paper crimper to peel the paper apart so it would be thin if I mail the envelope.

I have one request for anyone who knows about blogger and the New Designer Template.  I am having a problem getting rid of the snow.  LOLOLOL  I deleted any widgets that had the code and it hung in there.  I looked all the way through my html layout.  No snow codes there.  Wow!!  This has been a really funny month.

Thanks for stopping by to look and say hi!!That's my card and envy! Hope you liked them. I got to stamp and make up for some of the time when I couldn't. :-)

A Quick And Easy Trellis Card

I needed a quick card for a friend and while blog hopping saw a "Trellis Card".  I saved the site so I could give credit.  Then after I did the card I promptly deleted the site.  :-(  I forget what it is you lose first as you get older?  LOLOL  I searched for it for 30 minutes with no luck, even using Google!  I remember that I had loved finding that blog and decided to 'Follow' it.  So if I recently visited your blog and commented on your trellis card, please let me know so I can give you credit for inspiring me.  :-)

The card was made from leftovers.  The image was done at least a year ago, cut out and layered.  It is Hero Arts Red Rubber Cling Bouquet In A Vase stamped with Brilliance Galaxy Gold on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb. cardstock, and painted with Twinkling H2O's Black Orchid, Mallard Green, and Warm Pecan.  The centers are done with Stickles Yellow.  The ribbon is May Arts.

The Trellis base background behind the bouquet was done using Spellbinders Lacey and Large Circle dies on the same cardstock and put through my Cuttlebug.  The weaving was done using 'white scraps' hoarded from way back when for who knows what!!!

The tag was done using a Spellbinders Blossom die on the Burgundy linen cardstock, a white acrylic tag and Impression-Obsession's new Clear Stamp Set All Occasions I stamped with StazOn Forest Green, and yellow rhinestone stickers. It was tied on with leftover gold cord.

The background paper was, I think, bought on sale at Michaels years ago.  I had cut it up for who knows what and it was stored in a box with other pieces I have waiting for a card!  The matte around that is Neenah Classic Crest Linen Burgundy.  The embellishments are leftover rhinestone stickers and a heart charm bought from Fancifuls, Inc.  The faux stitch was done with an SU marker.

Everything was mounted as shown with either my ATG tape gun or 3D pop dots.

I am finding more time to blog hop and love seeing all of your creations too!  Thanks for stopping by to look and share!!

A Cute Fall Card! With A Touch Of Halloween

This cute card is 5 3/8X5/3/8" and was created using IO Leigh Hannan's new Tree Owls.  It was stamped on Neenah Solar White Super Smooth cardstock with Brilliance Galaxy Gold and painted with Twinkling H2O's Nutty Oak, Warm Pecan, Ginger Peach, and Daffodil.  The background was done using StazOn Saddle Brown ink with IO Cover-A-Card Maple Leaves on Classic Laid Solar White cardstock (It has a tooth to it that you can see in some of the leaves).  I used a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen for the dots to make the stars, dusted them with Deco Art Glamour Dust.  When dry I painted over the tops and around some with Twinks Daffodil. (Directly below the card above is the bottom of the envelope)

The bow was done using 3 metallic sprays and ivory seam binding.  It was then crumpled up in the corner of a ziplock bag and left over night.  The next day it was released and then a Bow-Easy was used for the double bow as shown.  You can find the instructions HERE.   I love the vintage effect.

All of the punched edges were done using SU Orange cardstock and Martha Stewart's Gothic Arches Corner Punch.  I used Spellbinders Fancy Tags for the greeting. Below is a close up.

Click on the image and you will see the detail in the owls.  Their little eyes were done with Twinks Daffodil and Copic Spica Black glitter pen.  Glossy Accents were applied over them, and I swear they almost look just like real 'Owl Eyes'.  LOL  The heart is from Fancifuls, Inc. online store.  I tied it on with some leftover gold cord.  The pearls are Mark Richards 3mm.  The words are IO Leigh Hannan's Owl Eyes.  Isn't that saying just too cute!

The inside of the card, shown below, was done with a stamped area of the Tree Owls and left over remnants from the Maple Leaves background.  The envelope is handmade from matching Solar White 80lb. text paper.  The flap of the card was done with the same Martha Stewart Gothic Arches corner punch.

Late For A Very Important Date

I missed the IO White Challenge because I could not believe how my card looked when I took its picture. It literally made me laugh. Now it is a little better at least and I will share. LOLOL

I embossed the background behind the trees using Cuttlebug's Snowflakes folder.

The foreground is Cover-A-Card Dots. I stamped it on Neenah White cardstock with VersaMark and then applied Heat & Stick Embossing Powder and heated until clear. I added the glitter and heat embossed again. Then I brush the extra glitter off with an art brush.

I also embossed some additional white cardstock using Swiss Dots. I tore it at an angle to get the layered look. Next I used IO Alesa Baker's Clear Stamp Set Swirl Tree to get the outline for the trees. The trees were mounted with 3D pop dots.

I applied glitter to the embossed background and Swiss Dots with a Quickie Glue Pen and added the glitter and then shook off extra.

I punched 1/4" holes with a punch along the top of the card. I threaded the ribbon through the holes as shown and then created a bow with the Bow-Easy. I tied the tail on the right with a slip knot.

Left over buttons were added to the trees and a brass snowflake to the bow. Pearls and glitter were added as shown.

The tag is from Spellbinders and the words were stamped with Galaxy Gold and pearls added as shown.

Supplies:
Stamps: IO Clear Set Swirl Tree and Cover-A-Card Dots used with the Mega Mount
Inks: Brilliance Galaxy Gold,
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Accessories: Cuttlebug Embossing Folders Snowflakes and Swiss Dots, Sakura Quickie Glue Pen, Deco Art Glamour Dust, Mark Richards 3mm and 5mm Pearl stickers, Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio, May Arts Ribbon, Bow-Easy, Fancifuls Inc. Brass Snowflake

So Glad To Be Back

Every since I saw this card by Linda Duke on Linda's Works Of The Heart blog, I have wanted to do something similar for months. Well, I ordered the Poppy Patch set from Flourishes and there it sat too. Last week I visited Phree at Ink Stain Survivor (she hadn't been around in a while) , saw her 'Shirley Poppies' card and the came on! So now you know where my ideas come from and probably why I only get one or two cards done in a week. Ha! I think I even have some of these flowers in my yard. I never knew there were Shirley Poppies! I built this card from the background up to allow for the punched border first and then all of the materials inside of it.

Card Fold:
1. I cut a bigger card than I would have because punching the border causes a loss of about 1/4" on length and a little less on the width after punching the border. I cut a 5.5"x11" piece of paper. I have 5.5 square envelopes, and needed a little bit smaller card.

2. Using Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch, I punched the right end, or center piece, of the border first. I knew by looking at my pre-punched sample that I needed to have one complete half-circle on the right and the left ends for the "going around the corner" to work. *After the center part is done I work totally from the back side of the punch (It's turned upside down so you can see the bottom edge of the cardstock to make sure you punch in a straight line. You will know once you try it what I mean.)

3. It was folded so the one punched edge is even with the back right side of the card.

4. I turned the punch to do the sides, starting to create the rounded corner first. I've tried to show that below. If you click on the image below you can see that I've made the second side transparent so you can see what you will be looking at from the back of the punch when you do the left side. Of course you have to imagine the card is everything to your right. If this is confusing for you try either of these two Border Punch Video 1 or this Border Punch Video 2 that might help.

4. Then I measured the inside of the card height and width. I used Neenah Classic Laid Millstone cardstock.

5. For the bottom half I used a piece of double sided sticky sheet half the size of the Millstone, and with tan colored mesh on top.

6. I applied a light blue ribbon from Michael's $1 bin as a seam between the top and the bottom.

7. I applied USArt Quest Mica D'Lites Gold over that for the sticky areas not covered by the mesh.

Ocean View Image:
1. The largest Spellbinders Labels One die was used with Neenah Classic Laid Solar White cardstock in my Cuttlebug.

2. I didn't have any scape stamps for the images and could never make up my mind on which ones to get, so I used Linda's card as a guide and did the rest with Twinkling H2O's and a Niji waterbrush. I also used a little bit of the Gold mica and some Baby Pink Flower Soft.

3. Anna Griffin Cream Designer Paper was used for the outside frame. I put it through the Cuttlebug to emboss only and then trimmed around the double embossed edge.

Flower Images:
1. Stamped with Brilliance Galaxy Gold on Neenah Solar White cardstock and heat set to dry ink.

2. Painted with Twinkling H2O's.

3. Ivory Flower Soft applied to the centers and then a little Twinkling H2O Yellow Drop and a tad of Rangers Stickles Yellow.

4. When dry the images were cut out.

5. The flowers and leaves were mounted with glue and 3D Glue Dots.

6. A light blue ribbon was tied around the flowers.

7. The Sand Dollar is from Fanciful Inc. online.

The colors are really much softer in real life, but this is how the camera saw it to day! Thanks for stopping by 'the blog' to look and share. Hope to be back soon!

Well It's Different!

Here is where I got my inspiration for the above card. Michelle Giraud at Twisted Chick Creations was a Guest Designer for Impression-Obsession when I first started posting on their blog. She is such a great Designer and I check out her blog often. I saw her card and immediately loved the way she threaded the gold cord up the side! I also like that she had used a border punch I had! Hee hee. I actually loved the whole card. She is one creative designer. My problem was I wanted to use the ribbon you see because it matched the leaves in my image. So......I needed bigger scallops and bigger holes. I'll come back to this issue, but first my image.

Image:
1. The image is Victorian Blossom One by Impression-Obsession. Stamp with VersaMark and emboss with Enchanted Gold to give it a delicate sparkly look on Neenah Classic Crest Natural Super Smooth 80lb. Cover cardstock.
2. Paint using Niji waterbrush with Twinkling H2O's Cherry Sorbet and Wintermint, and highlight with Stickles Yellow. (Luminarte 40% off sale is still in progress.)
3. Run image through Cuttlebug using Spellbinder Large Square Die with embossing pad. The stack is:
- Plate A,
- 3 pieces 4.25X5.5 of cardstock,
- Plate B, *Die facing up,
- *Image (Removable Scotch tape used to secure the die to the image so it wouldn't move.)
- Spellbinder embossing mat,
- Plate B. (It actually gives 3 distinct embossed ridges to the frame when you do it this way.)
4. Trim around image.
5. Mount on DP 3.75"x4.0" with no DP showing on the right side. Anna Griffin-Pink Paisley
6. Mount that on 4.25"x5.5" of Bazzill Birthstone October cardstock.


Now for the fun part and what I did so I could use the ribbon:

Ribbon Braid:
1. (2) 1"x4" strips of DP. Draw a penciled line .75" high across the length of DP, from end to end. You can look at how it would be without the drawn line HERE. Then you could trim it down on the bottom to the .75" after you use the Slot punch as shown on the other blog. I have to say that might be easier.
2. Line up scalloped edges with the image side already mounted. (See Above)
3. Eyeball and draw little dots where you want the holes to be in the center of each scallop.
4. Use EK Success 1/4" Paper Shaper Large Circle in the middle of each scallop.
5. Thread 16" of Michaels ribbon through as shown.
6. The Ribbon Slide is from Fancyfuls, Inc. online store.

Embellishments:
1. The butterfly is from the Martha Stewart Butterflies punch. Your local Wal-Mart has it.
2. The 2mm Pearls are Mark Richards Small Script Alphabet and the 3mm are Mark Richards Crystal Stickers Elements Pearls.

On here the card looks a bit over-the-top to me. In person it looks very light and feminine. What is it about the eye of the beholder they say? Ha! And we are done! Thanks for stopping by 'the blog' to look and share.

*********************************************

I had been drooling over anyone and everyone who had this set, I Love Roses, by Flourishes...so I broke with my rules for no new stamps in January and got it and 2 other sets I can't wait to use.

IMAGE:
1. The rose and leaves was stamped on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80lb. Cover cardstock with Encore Gold .
2. Ranger Gold Embossing Powder was added and heat embossed.
3. A Niji waterbrush was used to watercolor the rose with Twinkling H2O's Cherry Sorbet.
4. The rose and the leaves were trimmed close but not too close to the embossed edges.
5. The edges were then painted with the same colors used to paint inside the images.

BACKGROUND:
1. A piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Super Smooth 80lb. Cover cardstock was put through the Cuttlebug using embossing folder Textile Textures.
2. It was put through the Cuttlebug again using the next to the largest Spellbinders Large Oval die cut, a little off to the right. The trimmed rose was used to decide how far so the rose would overlap both the outer edge and part of the oval.

3. It was then mounted on a piece of Bazzill Birthstone October cardstock.


4. The next size down die was used to get the center oval of smooth cardstock. It was also put through to emboss only the edge of the oval.
5. The edges were slid over the surface of a VersaMark pad, then dipped in the same Ranger Gold Embossing powder and heat embossed as shown.
6. It was mounted to the center of the cut-out oval.

7. The rose and leaves were mounted using dimensional glue spots.

Embellishments:

1. The ribbon was tied using a Martha Stewart Double Bow technique and Michaels Swiss Dot ribbon and mounted as shown
2. A brass heart #2046 by Fancifuls online was mounted using glue dots.
3. The corners and bottom of the card were done using leftovers from Peel Offs.

Holly Angel

I fell in love with the Adriana Cirstea Angels when I saw them posted on the American Stamps blog. So I ordered 5 for now. (Smile) The owner was kind enough to let me purchase them unmounted with repositionable cling. Tooooo sweet! Thank you again if I should be so lucky you read this.

The image above was stamped on white cardstock.. The effects for the holly leaf were done with Twinks Solar Gold that matches the ink used to stamp the image. Then the image was painted. Red rhinestones were added to the leaf and the lower hem portion of the gown. The edges were rounded with a punch. The edges were sponged with dye ink for effect. It was mounted on green cardstock. An Ex-acto knife was used to cut around the leaf. It was lifted for effect with a piece of a pop dot. The slots were punched for the ribbon.

The background was embossed and painted with twinks on the raised portion. The corners were rounded. The edges were sponged with dye ink. Rhinestones and glitter glue were added intermittently on the Holly Berries. Then it was mounted on the Green cardstock. The leftover corners from the punched areas were mounted to the corners.

The ribbon was mounted though slots on the main image and then attached on the back of the Green background. The knots were then tied. A Snowflake charm was attached with a glue dot and a Red rhinestone was added in the middle. I know the rhinestone on the snowflake is crooked here and it has been corrected. Ha!

The inside left of the card (folded white cardstock) was put thorough the Cuttlebug with the background image. Then it was taken out and the whole card was laid under the closed folder and it was put though again to flatten the embossed image. It is just there faintly enough to see all of the image. You could still write on it if you chose. I did the envelope lower left corner the same way. A really wonderful look.

Dropping You A Line

I just received my new Impression-Obsession stamps and this one, Sailboat, just begged to be used. It was stamped with Brilliance Galaxy Gold on Neenah Super Smooth Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb. #03249 cover cardstock. *Tip (It is the only paper so far, besides Stampin' Up Whisper White, that doesn't ball up when you watercolor on it.) The image was painted with Twinkling H2O's. The pearly bubbles on the gold fish had Jones Tones Foil Glue applied; then Jones Tones Pearl Swirl Foil was applied when the glue was clear but sticky. The little orange and yellow fish with the yellow middles had Rangers Stickles Yellow glue applied to the middles. The white waves on the hull of the boat also had Jones Tones Foil Glue applied and then the Pearl Swirl Foil followed. The White Pearl on top of the mast and flag is a flatback bought on EBay. Below is a close-up of the foiled gold fish bubbles, the foiled waves and you can see a little bit of the head pin fishing pole.


The clouds in the sky are from the Impression-Obsession Clear Cling set "Angel Fish". They were stamped with ClearSnap Mica Magic Pearl Ink; then highlighted with Rangers Stickles Diamonds; Tulip White Puffy Paint was added and then heated to give the clouds dimension.

The fishing pole from the deck of the boat is a Gold Eye Pin with Stampin' Up Gold Cord attached. A bow was added and also a White Pearl flatback. The beads are Czech glass beads.

The waves and the words are also from the Impression-Obsession Cling set "Angel Fish". The waves were stamped with VersaMark. The words were stamped with Mica Magic Pearl and then a Uniball Signo White Ink pen was used over that. The brass Starfish charm is from Fancifuls, Inc. online.
Thanks so much for stopping by "the blog".

TJ & Impression-Obsession

It is not true that pictures never lie!!! LOL When I look at the card above the blues all fade in and out together and match up. When I scanned them they do not. Oh well.

The background is Artsy Dimension from the current Technique Junkie Newsletter. The image is Three Windows by Impression-Obsession-Leigh Hannan.
They were stamped with Brilliance Gold Galaxy ink and painted with Twinkling H2O's. The highlights are Rangers Stickles Gold and Liquid Pearls White Opal. The words are Word Plate I by Rubber Stamp Tapestry. The ribbon is from Michaels $1 bin. Its been a while, so I am not sure if ribbon in the bin is still $1. Ha! The Heart Charm is from Fancifuls, Inc. The 3 pearls are from Mark Richards Crystal Stickers.

I am expecting some new stamps from Impression-Obsession. I took part in the sale and free shipping they are having though today. The details on in the post just below and before this one.

Thanks for stopping by "the blog" to look.

3D or Tole or Paper Layering

The main image is Rosey Vase by My Heart Stamps For You. It was stamped with Galaxy Gold ink. I heated everything I stamped or edged with Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink with a heat gun before the next step. I can't get enough of Swirly background by Fire Cracker Designs by Pamela. I used it to do Reverse Mask technique on the vase, again using Galaxy Gold ink. Next I painted the roses and the vase with Twinkling H2O's. I stamped the image again and painted with Twinkling H2O's. I cut out the individual leaves and roses to mount on the image. I used Rangers Glossy Accents to glue the bottom ends to the image and also had a piece of a Pop Dot underneath near the middle to make them stand out from the card (3-D or Tole effect). I used a Fiskars template to cut the oval around the image and then edged the image with Galaxy Gold by lightly dragging the edges over the ink pad.

Next I stamped "the" Swirly background again with Galaxy Gold ink on another piece of cardstock for the background. The oval image was mounted in the center of the background, then mounted to the Bazzill Bling green cardstock. The metal corners are remnants from die cuts I did in the Cuttlebug for other cards. The metal gold oval is by EK Success Architecture Building Embellishments. I think they are discontinued. The word is from Word Plate I by Rubber Stamp Tapestry. I stamped it with ClearSnap Mica Magic Green and then went over it with a Green Sharpie. The gold cord is by Stampin' Up. The beads are Czech glass beads. The butterfly is by Fancifuls, Inc., online.

Thank you for looking and thanks for stopping by "the blog".

Bargello Play From The Beginning

I have looked at Bargello cards for years in awe of the pieces and patterns. Finally I decided this was the week to do it. I found relatively easy instructions on HGTV.com. I decided to use Glossy cardstock and started by dyeing all of the Glossy White with 5 different colors and left one white. Next I used background stamps from Fire Cracker Designs by Pamela - Swirly, Impression-Obsession - Swirl, Starving Artists - Fern Leaf , and Sculpy Clay Texture Sheet - Dancing Spirals. Brilliance Galaxy Gold was used to stamp the Swirly, Swirl and Fern Leaf backgrounds. Dye on Dye was used for the Purple background. I used the Castaway pad on top of the Lavender dye ink to bleach it out. Then I used the instructions from the HGTV.com page from the direct link above.

The flower is one from the Three Windows stamp by Impression-Obsession. It was stamped with Brilliance Galaxy Gold, painted with dye ink, and then Twinklin H2O's. The gold tie is Krenik Gold #16 Tapestry Braid cord. The heart is from Fancifuls, Inc. Charm Catalog pg 5, #2046. Ranger Stickles Diamond glitter glue was used to highlight the fronds around the rose. It was fun and not so difficult when I followed the directions. Smile!!

Thanks for stopping by "the blog" to look.
