Definitely Dahlia - Celebrate & Weekly Deals Reminder

Bold and glittery for this Celebrate "Definitely Dahlia" card. I think this would make a great Anniversary card! However, I could not find an 'anniversary' stamp. I guess I had better watch out for one and get it. 'Celebrate' does cover a lot of special occasions though.

I'm very happy with the idea I had of the leaves (Vintage Leaves Bundle) peaking out from under the Dahlia rather than from under the 'Gold Glimmer' paper.

Ink Sponging, as I've mentioned before, is one of my favorite techniques to use, and on the Dahlia die cut I even used just the smallest touch of black from the side points to the bottom. You can see it if you look closely. I only wish that the glue dots didn't show through the Vellum sentiment banner.

In the next photo you will see that the only layer that is popped up with dimensionals, is the Dahlia piece.

For the inside, I used Real Red to mat, stamped with Archival Basic Gray, and sponged in the green for the leaves. Just a basic and simple inside.

I have an idea for my next Definitely Dahlia card and can hardly wait to get to it. Thank you for checking in today and looking at today's creation.

Today is the last day for ordering from the Weekly Deals! Remember, there is only one more week left for the Weekly Deals, so be sure to take advantage to cross things off of your wish list!

Botanical Builder Card 2

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Yesterday I share a couple of all white cards created with the new 2016 Occasions Botanical Builder Die set. Today, and the next couple of days, I'll be sharing more cards created with that set.

This one is a much simpler card than the ones I shared yesterday, and was cased from Pinterest.

You will note the pattern in behind the red flowers. This is the beautiful printed Vellum Stack available in the 2016 Sale-A-Bration catalogue.

In order to get this beautiful vellum stack, you must have an order of $60 or more and can then order this paper for free!

Now back to the card. Here is a little closer look at the flowers.

You will note the white center of the flowers, This was done using my 1/4" circle/hole punch and gluing it to the center. I also took the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen and coloured the black circular tips with it. It really makes everything in the flower pop!

Here is a Stampin' Up! Video showcasing the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack.

This card will be a part of a future class, just FYI. But if you want this vellum for yourself you must get it before March 31st. (I will enough for the class)

Thank you for checking this out, and I'll see you tomorrow with another Botanical Builders card.

Happy Stamping & Creating!

2016 Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek - What I Love - Part Three

If you are looking for this week's WEEKLY DEALS, they will be post a little later today. But I'm going back to the "What I Love" sneak peek series.

For this card I went to light to the colours of So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, and a little Blushing Bride for the ink resist panel popped up on the card.

In this close-up, perhaps you can better see the 'Gorgeous Grunge" spots heat embossed in gold, as is the sentiment on the vellum strip. The sentiment is from the "Enjoy the Little Things" stamp set.

I added pearls and sequins hoping to add a bit of a glamorous look.

For this inside, I blended the same colours around the edge to create a bit of a frame around the gold heat embossed sentiment, also from the "Enjoy the Little Things" stamp set.

So, that's it for this card. A fairly easy card to create. I have more still to come. Be sure to check in later today for the WEEKLY DEALS.

Here is what I've used for the making of this card.
