2 pretty cards made using the Party Alphabet Dies, Ocean Front stamp set and Floral Impressions dsp from Stampin' Up!

Party Alphabet Card

Today I am sharing 2 cards inspired by projects we made at our recent team training event using the new Party Alphabet Dies and the Floral Impressions dsp. The original idea came from Alison Okamitsu.

Colours in these cards are:

 

Negative Space Card

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Floral Impressions dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Floral Impressions dsp – 3” by 2”
Floral Impressions dsp – 3” by 1¼”
Basic White card – 2” by 1”

 

I lined up the letters H and i on the larger panel of Floral Impressions dsp and die cut the letters out using the Party Alphabet Dies. The letters were set to one side to be used in my 2nd card.

The panel of dsp was then placed in position on the Thick Basic White card front. I used a pencil to mark the negative space where the letters had been. The dsp was then set to one side.

I placed the 2 remaining pieces of Floral Impressions dsp, side by side, covering the pencil marks and glued them into position.

The large panel of dsp was then added overtop on Dimensionals.

A bow made from Twine from my stash was added below the word with a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment, from the Ocean Friends stamp set (still available in my online store) was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and die cut using the Textured Notes Dies. I die cut it twice to make the label shorter. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

A trio of Adhesive-backed Sequins completed the card.

From scrap Basic White card, I die cut 2 more H’s and 2 more i’s using the Party Alphabet Dies. These were then stacked one on top of the other and the letters die cut from the dsp added on top

The sentiment, from the Ocean Friends stamp set was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink and die cut using the Textured Notes Dies.  As before I die cut it twice to make the label shorter before adding it to the card front on Dimensionals.

Congratulation Alaska incentive trip achiever

Congratulations Alaska Incentive Trip Achiever

Today, I am sharing a card I made for my lovely upline Mikaela to congratulate her on achieving the Alaska incentive trip. She has put so much time and effort into winning this trip for herself and her family and so deserves it. She is an amazing mentor and team leader. Go Mikaela…………x

Congratulation Alaska incentive trip achiever

AS the trip is to Alaska the card had to have an icy theme so I started by using the snowflakes from the, oh so versatile, Colorful Seasons stamp set. I stamped them in Island Indigo ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 7⅞” by 3⅞”. I knew the card base had to be long to accommodate all those letters……….. I took the stamped panel to the Big Shot and die cut the letters A, L, A, S, K, A from the panel using the Large Letter framelit dies. I then ran the same letters through again using lots of scrap Whisper White cardstock until I had a total of 4 of each of the letters – 12 A’s in total…….

Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped layer with the cut out letters onto a panel of the gorgeous, new Champagne Glimmer paper. I took each letter in turn and adhered 3 Whisper White die cuts to the back to form a stack of each letter 4 pieces high; before adding each letter back into the appropriate space on the stamped panel. I love the dimension the stacks of letters give to this project.

I added some of the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set in So Saffron ink along the top above the letters and glued the whole panel to an Island Indigo card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added a 7⅞” by 3⅞” piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside having stamped down the edge using the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set in Island Indigo, Pacific Point, Marina Mist and Pool party ink. I added the sentiment from the Lift Me Up stamp set which seemed so appropriate in Island Indigo ink. I stamped the envelope using the same stamps and colours.

I really love the simplicity of the card and really hope Mikaela likes it.
