QC Part 2: Secret Garden Feels Goods

As promised, here's another Quick & Cute card using the same focal point as yesterday's Secret Garden Feels Goods card and yet, acheiving a different look.

First I want to correct the measurements I shared yesterday.  It seems my hands type faster then my brain thinks (anyone else have that problem?)  Here's the correct measurements:

• 2" x 3-3/4" Whisper White
• 3/4" x 3-3/4" Tea For Two Designer Series Paper

Are you like me?  You've got your stamping supplies out, so you may as well make a second card before putting everything away.  For this card, by just rotating the position of the cardstock, the same white and Tea For Two DSP pieces (from yesterday) will give you a completely different look. 

NOTE: I did change up the "orange" color for this card and used Tangerine Tango instead of Calypso Coral (don't ask me why...I'm sure I had a pretty good reason at the time).  The more I look at the combo below, the more I think Halloween...hmm. 

 So...let me know which one you prefer?

The landscape QC #1 (right) or portrait layout QC #2 (left)?

Enjoy~Dawn O

QC Part 1: Secret Garden Feels Goods

This week's Quick & Cute card features one of my favorite "go-to" layouts.  Often times when I have a creative block, I gravitate to one of my favorite layouts to help get the creative juices going. 

The key to this layout is the focal point, which measures:

Oops - these measurements have been updated (thanks Barbara!)

• 2" x 3-3/4" Whisper White*
• 3/4" x 3-3/4" Tea For Two Designer Series Paper*
• matted with 3" x 4" Basic Black cardstock

DAWN'S TIP:  Stamp two extra flowers on whisper white scrap.  Hand cut the the smallest and middle flower sections.  Add to card with Stampin' Dimensionals

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for QC Part 2.  I'll share another card using same supplies (well mostly) but acheiving it a completely different look.  

Enjoy~Dawn O

Coming Soon: New WOOD MOUNT Cases!

I squealed with delight to see today's announcement!  These new cases are similar to our clear-mount boxes and fit perfectly on the shelf right next to them. They also have the images and stamp set name on the spine to make your search for the right set even easier. 

Starting May 31 all wood-mount sets will come in this new packaging (with the exception of incentive stamps).   

Get ready for all the exciting new products in the 2013/2014 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog--especially the new wood-mount boxes!

Just Smile: Happy Whale, Cloudy Day Big Shot Card

Happy Whale Card

From the must-have Cloudy Day Texture Impressions Embossing Folder, to the Large Scallop Edgelit Waves,  the clever greeting twist (from Oh Whale stamp set) and the Happy Whale itself, today's product is basically a monochromatic card that gives a surprise pop of color with the red heart.  

This  picture captures a lot of the details of this card.  It's a card that makes me just smile!  How about you?

Enjoy~Dawn O
