Engagement card – Celebrate Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Celebrate Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop where we are showcasing, you’ve guessed it…….. Sale-a-Bration product. I am showcasing the gorgeous Softly Stippled dsp and have used it to make a pretty card made for my niece who became engaged over Christmas.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the engagement card, you will need:

Softly Stippled dsp – 12” by 5¼”
Basic White card 5⅛” by 3⅞”

On the long side I scored the Softly Stippled dsp at 2”, 4” 8” and 10”. On the short side I marked at 2” down on both sides and using a trimmer, cut from the 2” mark to the second score line – 4” and 8”.

Taking the 2 off cut pieces, I trimmed the point off at the 2” score line and glued the pieces to the front panels with the co-ordinating pattern uppermost. I love that you see both sides of this pretty dsp.

The sentiment, from the Stippled Rose stamp set, was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies. I cut 2 more labels from scrap Pool Party card, I cut one of these in half across the middle and glued the 2 halfs to the back of the stamped label with a little peeking out at the top and the bottom. The remaining Pool Party label was glued to the back of the label and the whole piece was glued to the left side of the card front.

The panel of Pool Party card was adhered to the back of the central dsp panel. This gives the card more stability. The 5” by 3⅝” piece of Softly Stippled dsp was glued to the remaining piece of Basic White card. The panel was then gled to the back of the Pool Party layer.

A pretty shaker card made using the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Hummingbird Shaker card – Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop  where we are sharing Shaker cards. I have used the gorgeous Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and dies to make my pretty hummingbird shaker card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the hummingbird shaker card, you will need:

Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Window sheet – 3⅞” by 3⅞” – I used a cut down Clear Envelope as I couldn’t find my Window Sheet

Scrap Basic White card

Using a die from the Thoughtful Expressions I cut out a shape from the Softly Stippled dsp. From scrap Basic White card. I taped the same die to the next size up and die cut a frame from scrap Basic White card. The frame was glued to the front of the Softly Stippled dsp using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The dsp was laid over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and the sentiment, from the Everyday Details stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White panel, using the die cut panel to get the positioning right.

Dimensional Strips were adhered around the negative window on the back of the dsp panel. I also added strips of Adhesive around the edges of the panel to raise it up. The Dimensional strips are slightly higher then our ordinary Dimensionals.

I rubbed my Embossing Buddy over the stamped Basic White panel to remove static and added a pinch of Loose Silver Sequins over the sentiment. I also added a few aqua coloured sequins from my stash. The panel of dsp was then carefully added over the Basic White panel. I pressed firmly to make sure it was well stuck down.

The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Pebbled Path card base.

I stamped the hummingbird and single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured both images using the following Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Pebbled Path. I die cut them out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.
