Oh So Succulent

Hello, crafty friends. I have another fun card to share with you today using the Oh So Succulent Bundle- again! This time I made a  4 1/4" by 4 1/4" square card.

Oh So Succulent Card Supplies:

  • stamps: Oh So Succulent Bundle (retiring)
  • card stock: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, and Soft Suede
  • ink: Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum, and Old Olive
  • accessories: Succulent Framelits (retiring), Irresistibly Floral DSP, Sponge Brayer, Linen Thread, and Halloween Enamel Dots (now in the Clearance store!)

So are you wondering how I made the background paper?
First, I cut 3 pieces of the Irresistibly Floral Specialty DSP at 1 1/8" by 3 1/2" strips and randomly brayered Soft Suede ink onto 2 of the pieces while brayering Rich Razzleberry ink on the 3rd piece.  I used the awesome Sponge Brayers.  I love these little brayers. They are so easy to use.

Next, I took a paper towel and wiped the DSP off to remove the ink from the embossed areas- in this case the circles.  Lastly, I stamped a flower image from the Oh So Succulent stamp set randomly onto the DSP pieces using Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry ink. Again, I wiped the card stock off to show the pre-embossed areas.  Super easy and gives you a cool effect!  I love the Irresistibly Floral Specialty DSP!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
