Floral Frames Bundle

Comments: 0

Today’s card features one of my favorite colors; Calypso Coral. I stamped the framed image from Floral Frames stamp set in Smoky Slate and added the sentiment in Calypso Coral.  The leaves are colored in with Lemon Lime Twist and the flowers in Calypso Coral.  The stamped image and the die cut leaves were cut out with the coordinating Foliage Frame Framelits.

I used strips of the Tea Room Specialty Designer Series Paper on a piece of Very vanilla cardstock for the background and wrapped a piece of Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon around this layer before popping the sentiment and leaves up off the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Masculine Blow out the Candles

Comments: 3

Here’s a fun card perfect for anyone, but I think the geometric shapes and the color combination of Blueberry Bushel, Gray Granite, and Whisper White really lends itself to a masculine feel.  I’ve used a lot of texture and patterns for interest on the card starting with the Wood Planks Embossing Folder on the background, then the 2 different prints from the Best Route Designer Series Paper.

I love the happy outlined script of the sentiment from the Blow Out the Candles stamp set.  It’s really all that is needed for the focal point.  I finished it off with a little row of the Metallic Pearls.

Healing Hugs

The healing Hugs stamp set is my new “go to” set when I want to send a get well card.  The sentiments are perfect and you’ve just got to love the realistic imagery of the rose and leaves.

This is one of the new DistINKtive stamps.  That means it’s a photo-realistic image that has lots of depth to it.  Rather than inking the stamp up directly on the ink pad, it works best to ink up a sponge or Sponge Dauber with the ink and “pounce” the dauber over the stamp.  This goes for the rose as well as the leaves.  Once I had the rose stamped, I did a bit of fussy cutting around the rose and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Did you notice the subtle embellishments I added to the card?  I attached some of the Rose Metallic Thread behind the rose and a few of the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the Whisper White card layer.
