Lovely Thankful Garden Stencil Card

Today I'm sharing a lovely card made with the Online Exclusive Thankful Garden Bundle (165534). 

The Thankful Garden Bundle includes the THREE following products:

• Thankful Garden Stamp Set
• Thankful Garden Dies
• Thankful Garden Decorative Masks
• These products are part of the Lovely Garden Suite

I was at a crafting retreat this weekend and brought these products along to use, and for others to play with.  They were a big hit.  Everyone was so impressed and felt like a real artist!!

 

How'd She DO That? With Love card

• Stamps/Bundles:  Thankful Garden Bundle - includes stamp set, dies & masks
• Paper:
  • Pretty in Pink (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base) 
  • Garden Green (4" x 5-1/4", scrap for leaf die cut)
  • Basic White (two of 3-7/8" x 5-1/8", scrap for Stylish Shapes banner die cut) 
• Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Berry Burst, Garden Green
• Stampin' Blends:  Berry Burst (to color sequins)
• Other:  Blending Brushes, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes Dies, Starburst Sequins, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

DOstamping Tips:

• When I use a Decorative Mask, I like to start by "anchoring" my cardstock by using a small amount of adhesive in two places to temporarily adhere it to my grid paper (scratch paper).  NOTE:  I first rub my finger over the adhesive to remove some of the stickiness.
• Place the first mask  onto the cardstock (they are numbered).  Use a pencil to mark the notch (located next to the number).  Use washi tape or small sticky notes to secure mask to the grid paper.  Then with a Blending Brush, add Pretty in Pink ink over mask.
• For the 2nd mask, match up the notch with the mark and add sticky notes.  Then with a  Blending Brush, add Melon Mambo ink over mask. 
  • mask 3 = Berry Burst ink
  • mask 4 = Garden Green ink - press lightly
  • mask 5 = Garden Green ink - ink up brush with lots of ink and press harder for a darker shade
• Then stamp the coordinating line image flower with black ink.  This is optional, but I liked the look.

 

If you too want to feel like an artist, then you'll want to check out the Thankful Garden Bundle (part of the Lovely Garden Suite). Be sure to check out my DOstamping Supply List below and add your favorites to your shopping cart today!

Days of Love #7: Marbled Elegance Suite Floating Heart

Welcome to the last of my DOstamping Days of Love Day #7

Today I'm sharing a Floating Heart Card featuring the Online Exclusive Marbled Elegance Suite Collection.

With an assist from our Window Sheets, the heart-shaped focal point appears to "float" off the background, adding depth and dimension.

 

Create the heart with strips of the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper.  Be sure to check out side B to mix stripes, mini hearts and specked textures with the marbled patterns in tones of reds, pinks and gold.  They add the They add the perfect blend of visual interest and dimension.

 

How'd She DO That? Floating Heart card

• Stamps/Bundles: Hearts of Elegance Bundle– includes dies (online exclusive)
• Paper: 
  • Real Red (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base score/fold at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White (4" x 5-1/4", 3/8" x 1-1/2" for sentiment, scrap for flowers)
  • Window Sheets (4" square)
  • Gold Foil Sheets (scrap for leaf die)
  • Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper (7) strips in a variety of patterns - 4" long by 1/4" & 3/8" widths)
• Ink: Melon Mambo
• Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine,  Paper Snips, Take Your Pick Tool, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots, Foam Adhesive Strips

 

DOstamping Tips:

• For Floating Heart:
  • Place 3rd largest Hearts of Elegance die (3-1/4" wide) onto a piece of 5" square scratch paper (or larger) and trace the outside of the die.  
  • Then center 4" square Window Sheet over scratch paper heart tracing.  To keep in place, use sticky notes to secure two corners.
  • Adhere strips of Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper to Window Sheet to cover the outline of the heart, leaving a narrow space between each strip.
  • Once satisfied with the layout of your strips, die cut window sheet/DSP with the heart die cut.
• For flowers & leaves:
  • Stamp flower on white scrap with Melon Mambo ink, stamp again without reinking and die cut.  
  • Make Gold Foil leaf die cut look more realistic by using the small stylus of the Take Your Pick tool to create "leaf lines".
  • Adhere flowers and gold leaf together with Mini Glue Dots. 

 

• Adhering to card:
  • To back of heart die cut, add Foam Adhesive Strips to the areas that are covered with DSP strips.  
  • Adhere flowers/leaf to front left edge of heart with Mini Glue Dots. Then add a Foam Adhesive strip to back of  flowers/leaf.
  • Remove backings and attach to white panel

 

My heart was giddy when I finished this card.  It turned out even better than what I envisioned.   Your sweet Valentine's heart will be giddy too when you gift them this Floating Heart Card.  I hope you enjoyed my DOstamping Days of Love projects!

Days of Love #6: Cute as Can Bee Gift Bag

Welcome to my DOstamping Days of Love Day #6

Today I'm sharing an adorable Gift Bag featuring the Scrapbooking Brochure Cute as Can Be Designer Series Paper.

This is the small bag from the Gift Bags Comb Pack.  It measures approx. 3-3/8" x 3-3/4" x 1-7/8".  These bags definitely need a pop of color and the Petunia Pop plaid does the trick! 

 

If the Cute as Can Be Designer Series Paper looks familiar to you, that's because it's a recolored release of a paper from last year.  I have to admit - I'm completely in love with the new colors...stickin' cute!

 

How'd She DO That? Cute as Can Bee Gift Bag

• Stamps/Bundles: Meant to Bee Bundle – includes dies (scrapbooking brochure), Be My Valentine (for sentiment)
• Paper: 
  • Gift Bags Comb Pack (small bag)
  • Basic White (scrap for bee, 3/8" x 1-3/8" for sentiment)
  • Petunia Pop (scrap for heart die cut)
  • Cute as Can Be Designer Series Paper - scrapbooking brochure (4" square for #3 hexagon die from Meant to Bee dies)
• Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Daffodil Delight
• Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine,  Petunia Pop 3/8" Bordered Ribbon,  Glue Dots, Foam Adhesive Strips

 

DOstamping Tips:

• For the bag topper, I used the #3 Hexagon from the new Meant to Bee Dies. 
• Score/fold at approx. 2-1/4" to wrap over top of bag.
• Secure with a binder clip.

 

• I used the the smaller sized bee from the Meant to Bee Bundle. 
• Assemble with glue dots and adhere bag topper with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

• To stamp the playful bee flight trail, I inserted a piece of backer board (chipboard) into the gift bag and laid it flat.
• Insert the bag topper inside the bag.
• Then stamp the line on the topper and the bag.

 

How stickin' cute is this?  This Cute as Can Bee Gift Bag will definitely bring a smile to your Valentine's face!  Be sure to stop by tomorrow for my last DOstamping Days of Love.  I saved the best for last.

Days of Love #5: Marbled Elegance Suite Heart Shaped Card

Welcome to my DOstamping Days of Love Day#5

What would Valentine's Day be without a Heart Shaped Card?  The Online Exclusive Marbled Elegance Suite Collection makes this a surprisingly quick & easy task.

How'd She DO That? Heart Shaped Valentine's Day card

• Stamps/Bundles: Hearts of Elegance – includes dies
• Paper: 
  • Real Red (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base score/fold at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White (1-3/8" x 4-3/4" sentiment, 4-1/4" square for 2nd largest heart die cut for inside, scraps for flowers/leaves)
  • Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper (4-1/4" square for 2nd largest heart die cut)
• Ink: Real Red, Garden Green
• Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine,  Gold Twisted Thread, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

DOstamping Tips:

• Create heart shaped card base:
  • Fold 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base in half
  • Position the top of the largest heart die a smidge above the fold line and die cut. 
  • This will cut the heart shape but also preserve a portion of the fold.
• For flowers & leaves:
  • Stamp on white scrap with Real Red & Garden Green ink. 
  • Stamp each a 2nd time without reinking and die cut.  

 

The combination of textures, colors, and floral details makes this card a delightful and heartfelt creation, perfect for celebrating love.  Impressed your loved ones by gifting them this stunning Heart Shaped Card.
