Paper Inlay with Detailed Floral Thinlits - Sympathy Card

I forgot to post this sympathy card a while back. I tried my hand at some paper inlay which I don't do very often. I think if you use multiple colours it is a little more dramatic and eye catching. The the receiver loved it and that's always the main thing, right?

A closer look. I used my sponge and So Saffron to colour, or darken, some of the pieces a bit.

Somehow, I forgot to take a photo of the inside...

I created the black frame to position over the die cut piece to hide the edges after cutting it down to size.

Paper inlay takes time and patience, especially with this die, but it is worth the effort. Are you inspired to try it?

Happy creating!

Floral Phrases & Detailed Floral Thinlits - Brights

OK, this one will definately NOT be a part of a class. I was experimenting with this card, and it is a little too involved for a class. But, I am happy to show it to you and those experienced card makers that want to give it a try, go to it.

I was in the mood for brights! (Bermuda Bay, Old Olive, & Melon Mambo) I also wanted to surprise the receiver of the card. They would be expecting the Bermuda Bay to be on the inside of the card as it is the liner to the Detailed Floral Die.

However, when opened there pops the Melon Mambo behind more Olive Green Detailed Floral die cuts. Those two front card flaps are four layers of cardstock, making it quite thick. I had to add an extra layer of cardstock to the back of the card to support the front card flaps.

As an afterthought, I was thinking that maybe having the interior die cuts in Bermuda Bay, rather than Old Olive,  might have looked a bit better.

Experimenting with ideas is fun, and the process always teaches you something new. I encourage you to experiment too.

Happy creating!

Floral Phrases & Detailed Floral Thinlits - Purples

Yesterday, CAS; today more detail and work. Saturday I showed you a card that used the Stampin' Write Markers to stamp with. I guess I enjoyed it so much that I did it again with this card. You may wonder why I didn't put another colour of cardstock behind the Detail Floral die cut, but sometimes using the same colour (Elegant Eggplant in this case) looks better and can be just as striking by creating a lacy/textured look.

You can see this detail just a bit better in this side view of the card.

In this detail close up, you can see the Stampin' Write Marker stamp colouring just a bit better. I used Sweet Sugarplum, Wisteria Wonder, a touch of Elegant Eggplant, and Pear Pizzazz. I stamped two extra blossoms and fussy cut them out to pop over the base stamped image.

Next you see a different side view photo that shows you more details. Love that Die Brush for dies like this! Makes it so much easier to get rid of all those itty-bitty bits of paper that needs to come out, and works well in getting the actual die cut piece out of the die!!

In this next photo you can see the square is popped up with dimensionals, as are the fussy cut blossoms.

For the inside stamping I did the same as I did for the front just stamping the mage off the edge.

So there you have it. It is soooo worth the time to use the Stampin' Write Markers to colour the stamps. Looking forward to teach you how to do this in class!

Happy Stamping!
