The Stampin' Professor

  I received a fun fold card from my Upline, Lisa Curcio, and a Workshop Hostess wanted to make that card for her workshop.  I didn't have the bundle, so I had to get creative! The original used Cheerful Daisies Bundle, but I substituted Delightful Wishes, a new Online Exclusive. The card base is Pool Party 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock, cut to 4 1/4" x 7, scored at 5 1/2".  Round all corners. Cut the Pool Party design from Country Woods DSP to 4 1/4" x 1 1/2", and round the bottom corners.  Adhere to the top flap of the Pool Party card base. Cut 2 pieces of Basic White CS, one at 4" x 5 1/4" (front) and one at 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" (insert).  The front is slightly larger to completely hide the insert. Stamp a sentiment on the front panel, off to one side.  I used 'You're simply Marvelous' from the retired Perennial Postage Stamp Set.  I just love those sentiments! On a piece of Basic White scrap, stamp the outline of the small flower 4 times in...

  I stamped and die cut lots of the images from the new Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Bundle so I could play around with colors and layout.  The embossed background is basic beige, run through the Seaside Wishes Embossing Folder.  The blue dsp along the left edge is from Country Woods 12"x12" DSP.  I love this paper! I used Blending Brushes to add Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake to the sand dollar images on the top layer of the folder.  Then added the dies to emboss and cut at once.  The definition is really nice. The sand dollars have one dimensional in the center, then the outer edges are glued down.  I like how that adds just a bit of dimension. The sentiment is on a 2 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Basic White, then mounted on a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Night of Navy. It was a lot of fun playing with this set!

  I love this color combination using the new Seaside Wishes Bundle.  The Hybrid Embossing folder is just amazing!  I used a blending brush to add Crumb Cake ink and Pretty Peacock ink to the sand dollar images in the top portion of the folder, then used the dies to emboss and cut the 3 sand dollars out at once.  The definition it gives the sand dollar is beautiful! I also stamped the large and small star fish in Pretty Peacock & Copper Clay, and die cut them to add dimension.  The DSP is from the Country Woods 12" x 12" DSP.  This pretty wood print is actually the back side of one of the sheets.  I also used a torn strip of Crumb Cake cardstock across the center of the card.  The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock, and punched with the Labeled with Love Punch.  I felt it was a little too big for the area I left for it, so I trimmed the top and bottom. The card is finished with Pecan Pie Center Stripe Ribbon.  Let me know what yo...

  I still love the ink blending techniques I taught in my March class. This one uses Azure Afternoon cardstock, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana. I just laid two strips of masking paper (AKA Post-it notes) down about 1 1/2" apart,  and blended in between, then stamped the turtles in pool party, then came back with the detail stamp to give them a pretty peacock pattern. I stamped and fussy cut one of the turtles, and then popped him up on dimensionals to give it a bit of depth.  This sentiment, Faith, is from the new unbounded Love bundle.

 Loving this airplane from the new Adventurous Sky Bundle! The plane is die cut from Night of Navy and Silver Specialty Foil. The DSP is cut 2"x5 1/4", and the thin silver strip is cut 1/2"x5 1/4". The sentiment is just fussy cut and popped up on dim Product List Boho Blue 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [ 161724 ] Boho Blue Classic Stampin' Pad [ 161650 ] Silver Foil 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Specialty Pack [ 163096 ] Adventurous Sky Bundle (English) [ 163447 ] Take To The Sky 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 163436 ]
