Mixed Florals - Heat embossing on designer paper

Hello my stamping friends. I am back today to share with you how you can heat emboss on designer paper and get a wow effect. This card is so simple, yet elegant using black and white with a pop of color (Lemon Lolly). I am not much of a yellow fan, but I love the soft color of Lemon Lolly. It is a great addition to our color families. The measurements are below, as well as the supplies and my video.

Measurements:

Basic Black 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½ for the card base

Lemon Lolly: 2 pieces at 4 x 5¼

Botanical Textures dsp: 3¾ x 5

Basic White: 3½ x 4¾

Black & Very Vanilla Check Ribbon: about 5½ inches and about 4 inches

You will find all of the supplies used in My Online Store.

My Video will show you how simple this card is to make. I made one version as a sympathy card and the other as a birthday card. With the thinking of you sentiment, you could use this card for any occasion.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I really appreciate it.

Mystery Stamping with France "Frenchie" Martin

Howdy stampers. Welcome back. Today my share is the Mystery Stamping that I did live with France "Frenchie" Martin. I love working with her and think we make a great team. We are sharing a simple card with you and then showing you how to crank it up a notch and showing you a more stepped-up version of the same card. Below are the cut pieces that I shared for the simple version.

Measurements: 

Card Base (white or vanilla): 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½

Designer Paper: 3¼ x 5¼, ¾ x 4 (Garden Walk)

Coordinating designer paper: ¾ x 5¼ (Garden Walk)

Coordinating card stock: 2⅝ x 2⅝ (Poppy Parade), 3¾ x ½, 3¼ x ½, 1¾ x 1 (Pretty Peacock)

White or Vanilla: 2½ x 2½

This is my simple card.

   

For all of my samples, I started with my designer paper cut at 4 x 5¼. I then cut off a strip that measured ¾ x 5¼. I flipped this piece over and re-attached it to the remaining designer paper. I show you in the video how I do this with Tear & Tape adhesive. 

I have 2 samples for my stepped up version of this card below for you.

Measurements:

Card Base (white or vanilla): 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½

Designer Paper: 3¼ x 5¼, ¾ x 4 (Garden Walk)

Coordinating designer paper: ¾ x 5¼ (Garden Walk)

Coordinating card stock: 2⅝ x 2⅝ (Petal Pink), 3¾ x ½, 3¼ x ½, 1¾ x 1 (Mossy Meadow)

Coordinating card stock: 1 x 5¼ (Calypso Coral)

White or Vanilla: 2½ x 2½

Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim: 6" and about 8"

On this card I attached the designer paper back together as shown in the video. Then I cut the 1 x 5¼ Calypso Coral in half with the Basic Borders dies. I attached one half to the designer paper right where the two designs met. I then wrapped the 6" piece of trim over the seam, adhering it to the back. It was then ready to be adhered to the card base. For the inside of the card I cut the other half of die cut from the Basic Borders die to 4" and then added above the designer paper. The rest of the assembly is shown in the video.

Measurements for the card made in the video:

Card Base (white or vanilla): 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½

Designer Paper: 3¼ x 5¼, ¾ x 4 (Garden Walk)

Coordinating designer paper: ¾ x 5¼ (Garden Walk)

Coordinating card stock: 2⅝ x 2⅝, 3¾ x ½, 3¼ x ½, 1¾ x 1 (Garden Green)

Coordinating card stock: 1 x 5¼ (Calypso Coral)

White or Vanilla: 2½ x 2½

Balmy Blue Double-Stitched Ribbon: 6"

Gold & Silver Trim Combo: about 8"

This card was assembled the same as example 2. For all of my samples I used the Sentimental Park stamp set. For all of my supplies, please click the image below.

Art Gallery - Thinking of You

Hello my stamping friends.  My share for you today is a sympathy card for one of my friends who just lost her Dad.  I am hoping this card brightens her day in this time of sorrow.  I have all of the details for you below.

Measurements:  

Smoky Slate: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½

Coastal Cabana: 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

Basic Gray: 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

Basic White: 2½ x 7½,  4 x 5¼

Instructions: 

1. Using the White Embossing Paste and the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks, spread some paste all over the Basic Gray layer.  Using one of the spatulas, scrap the paste over the mask.  You will want to work quickly and rinse off the mask and spatula right away as the paste dries quickly.
2. Adhere the Coastal Cabana layer to the card base.
3. Stamp the full flower image in Costal Cabana onto the 2½ x 7½ Basic White piece.
4. Stamp the line image of the flower in Bermuda Bay.
5. Stamp the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green onto the same Basic White layer.
6. Stamp the greeting onto the Basic White layer with Basic Gray.
7. Use the coordinating dies to cut the flower, stem and leaves and the greeting.
8. Make sure the paste is dry on the Basic Gray layer and then adhere to card front.
9. Adhere the stem and leaves to the card front and then adhere the flower with Stampin' Dimensionals.
10. Adhere the greeting to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
11. Scatter a few Elegant Gems onto the card front.
12. For the inside, stamp the flowers and stem image at the bottom left side.  I inked the flower part with Coastal Cabana and the leave side with Granny Apple Green.  Then after I stamped it I used the small line image and stamped all three flowers using Bermuda Bay ink.
13. For the envelope, stamp the large flower image and stem the same way that you stamped the flower for the front.
