"Wild About Flowers" Retirement

I just love the "Wild About Flowers" stamp set! Again, I'm thinking about classes, and had to make more cards using this set. This card is cased from Pinterest and was created by Lynn from LW Designs.

I used a different embossing folder and die than Lynn did, but it's pretty much the same as she designed it. I love the Tip Top  Taupe with the Blackberry Bliss. A great colour combo.

The following photo is a close up of the front of the card. When I use a background stamp like the "Hardwood" one, I like to use my brayer. I place the cardstock on the stamp and use the brayer on the back of the paper.

The die cut and the sentiment banner are both popped up with dimensionals, as you can see in the side view below.

For the inside of the card, I took a sponge, inked it, and then dabbed it around the outer edge of the background stamp. I used my brayer as I did with the front die cut piece, thus framing the inside.

I forgot to mention that I took the sponge and inked the edges of the die cut on the front as well as the edges on the inside.

Below is everything that I used to create this card.

That's it for this card. Tomorrow I have another cased card using this same stamp set, so be sure to check in to have a look.

Sneak Peek - Going Places DSP & Going Global Series - Part 5

Second post for today - See Sales at previous post.

For this last card that I made with the "Going Places DSP" and "Going Global" stamp set I was able to get five scrapbooking cards. Four are just the DSP, and the 5th is pieced. I also decided to see if I could create a 9 1/4" x 4" long card using the 6 x 6 DSP stack. I of course had to piece it and it wasn't a perfect job.

You can see better in this close up that I wasn't careful enough, because once that Tear & Tape is down, it's hard to peal back and reposition.  I focused more on the Tip Top Taupe colour for this one..

TIP: For those of you that have never tried to have a cut shape within a shape, the best way to get the inner shape to line up or center within another, is to die cut or punch the inner shape first and then line up the outer shape around the inner one. The next photo is a close up of the main card features. The same applies to a stamp within a shape.

Because of having to piece together DSP to fit a larger area than the size of the DSP, I used Linen Thread to hide/disguise the seam in the paper.

And next you see the side view with the popped up layers.

Stamping, punched shapes, and banners, are used for the inside of this card.   

Well this is the last Sneak Peek for the "Going Places DSP" and "Going Global" stamp set for the 2016 Occasions catalogue. Tomorrow will be a new item from the catalogue for Sneak Peeks!

In the mean time, below is a list of things used to create this card, with the exception of the DSP and stamp set that will be available January 5th in the 2016 Occasions Catalogue!

Sneak Peek - Going Places DSP & Going Global Series - Part 3

Today is the third card in this series.

With this card I got to create more scrapbooking cards than with the others. The reason for that is I made a cutting mistake and had to pull out a second sheet for the card, therefore having more to work with when creating the cards.

One thing that I have come to love doing since creating my albums in November, is stamping on 1/4" or 3/8" strips of cardstock, to create interesting borders with text. Why not try it on a card?  

I really like this DSP Stack, it can be used for so many things! The colours are wonderful, and lend themselves well to travel and masculine things. 

Here is the side view.

For this inside, I stamped the 'dipper' stamp three times with a different colour each time.

OK, so that's it for this card. Hope there is something that inspires you for some of your card creations. To see what I used for this, you can see it below. Of course that's without the new items from the 2016 Occasions Catalogue.
