Sassy Flamingo Washi Fun swap

Pop of Flamingo FUN!

Creating Success Training Group Swap

Oh, you won't believe the gorgeous swaps I received from my Creating Success Training Group with Ronda Wade! I participated in 3 groups and here was my first entry. I was inspired by Julie Davison and her washi creation using the Playful Palette Suite of products. 

My flamingo card is actually pretty simple. The featured stamp set is the totally hip and popular Pop of Paradise stamp set stamped with Melon Mambo and Basic Black ink. I layered Melon Mambo with Basic Black and Whisper White card stock to make it pop and then lined up washi tape and tucked it under the Whisper White layer making it super simple. No cutting necessary.  I did NOT use a retired punch for the gold foil paper heart. That would be baaaaad! I used a tiny heart framelit from the new Sweet and Sassy hearts framelit collection. Then, to make the tag, I used my FAVORITE punch, the Tag Topper Punch and finished it off with a cute new Melon Mambo thick baker's twine bow!

Cheer Up Buttercup! It's Simple Saturday!

 

 

Simple Saturday

Cheer Up Buttercup! card

 

If you were having a bad day, would this bright and cheery card with a little gold sparkle and playful washi tape not just give you a skip in your step?  Sometimes just the right card can come at just the right time. Who would you give this to this week. I can think of someone right now! This was a card we made at my card class on this fabulous set "Geometrical". Although my clean and simple cards are usually one layer, the tag is so EASY to make, I deem it clean and simple enough for Saturday.  My favorite thing about this card is the "up" arrows next to the Cheer Up Buttercup sentiment. Do you love it?

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:

stamp sets: geometrical

paper: basic grey and whisper white 8 1/2 x 11" card stock, gold foil 12x12 paper

ink: basic grey classic stampin' pad, Bermuda bay and strawberry slush markers

ribbons: strawberry slush ruffle stretched trim, Bermuda bay 1/8" taffeta ribbon, gold baker's twine

tools: scalloped tag topper punch

other: epic day this and that washi tape

 

Directions:

Cut basic grey base at 4 1/4 x 11" and then fold. Stamp arrows in basic grey (this is called tone on tone).  Cut 2 x 31/4" strip of whisper white paper and punch with scalloped tag topper punch. Color cheer up stamp with markers as show and angle it in the center of the tag (this is where the clear mount stamps really shine!).  Use tiny strip of gold to underline the stamp and trim on edges. Adhere washi tape and also trim flush with edge of tag.  Stamp arrow above the sentiment until it goes off the edge of tag. Loop ribbons through and pull them through the loop and trim. Attach on four corners of tag with stampin' dimensionals.

DAY 1:

Project #2

Truly Grateful Card:

This SIMPLE card I copied straight out of the Stampin' Up holiday catalog. In fact, it's why I bought this set called Truly Grateful.

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:

paper: 8 1/2" x 11"  whisper white, soft sky card stock, sweather weather designer series paper.

stamp set: Truly Grateful, Gorgeous Grunge

ink: crushed curry, pumpkin pie, basic black, early espresso

accessories: (Big Shot: envelope liner framelits), owl punch (for little heart!)

embellishments: witches brew designer washi tape

other: Stampin Up' medium whisper white envelope, glue dots, snail adhesive

 

Project Details:

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE CARD!!!  Cut whisper white card stock at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", fold in half for base.  Stamp background x2 with crushed curry ink (stacking one over the other).  Stamp wheat bunch in early espresso, stamp slotchy splatters with pumpkin pie (Gorgeous Grunge stamp set).  Tear and adhere washi tape across card. Stamp "truly grateful" with basic black ink. (careful to le tthis dry before touching it. Our basic black is a permanent ink, other classic ink pads would just rub off the washi tape, but the basic black ink will dry permanent. Cut a tiny strip of soft sky and adhere with snail adhesive. Punch a tiny heart of soft sky paper with owl punch and either glue dot or snail adhesive it to the card.

Cut envelope liner on Big Shot using the envelope liner die. You are done! EASY!
