I finally got around to finishing some cards I started a couple weeks ago! Do you ever do that? One was a wedding card and the other an anniversary card for my sister and brother-in-law. When is their anniversary? Tomorrow! When is it going out? Tomorrow! Oh heck, I’ve just got too much going on. I guess it’s better late than never! Right!
I wish I could claim the design of this card, but one of my talented demonstrators, Tracey did it first. So I have CASEd this card and I love it. Very simple but elegant. See what you think!?!
STAMP SET: Flower Shop (W130939 $23.95; C 130942 $17.950
Teeny Tiny Wishes (see TIP below)
CARD STOCK: Smokey Slate (131202 $6.95) 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″; scrapes
Whisper White (100730 $8.50) 4′ x 5-1/4″; scrapes
INK: None
Markers: Blushing Bride (131265 $3.50)
ACCESSORIES: Pansey Punch (130698 $15.95)
Embossing Folder (the one used here is retired–please don’t kill me-others can be substituted)
Sticky Strip (104294 $6.95)
Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755 $3.95)
Dazzling Diamonds (133751 $4.95)
TIP: Dazzling Diamonds is a glitter-not embossing powder. It can be used a couple ways. Here I used the Multipurpose glue and sprinkled the glitter on the flowers (just like we did in elementary school!
Another way is to use a stamp to stamp the center using VersaMark. Then sprinkle with Heat and Stick Powder (100625 $4.50) and heat it with a heat gun. Immediately sprinkle with glitter and heat again to set it.
I have to admit I was a little intimidated by the Heat and Stick powder–Lord only knows why!?! It is very simple to use!
TIP: I’ve shared this tip before, but when using an embossing folder that has a lot of embossing- use sticky strip to make sure it stays in place. I used it on the banner above.
TIP: Now —the “How’d she do that?” part. I didn’t have a stamp large enough that said happy anniversary so I went to MDS (my digital studio) and opened a project (8-1/2″ x 11″) and clicked stamps. When the box opened I typed in happy anniversary in the search box and resized it to the size I wanted! Cool! Tracey taught me that too! Sooo, when you don’t have a stamp-check out MDS and see what’s available!
Hope you’ll try some of the things I telling you about! In fact I’m going back to all my old posts and adding TIPS in the label part so you can pull up previous tips I’ve shared with you!
Happy stampin’,
~Laura
