Delicate Dahlias

Here is another totally Susie card.

Check out this awesome dis'ink'tive stamp set called- 'Delicate Dahlias'.

It is one of the Sale-a-bration choices that

you can get it FREE with a $100 product order.

I think that this flower is just gorgeous! 

 

There are no dies with this 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set-

so I fussy cut out all of these flowers & leave with my scissors.

But I do like to cut things out though!

If you don't like to fussy cut things out-

 keep on reading & see how you can do the "masking technique".

This is what my card looks like when opened up!

  This a fun accordion z fold card! 

 

The Garden Green DSP is also a Sale-a-bration choice.

It is from the Peaceful Prints 12x12 DSP pack

that is FREE with a $50.00 product order.

I made all of these cards for a swap that I participated in with 

some other demonstrator friends.

You can CLICK HERE to see another card I made with this same fold!

And I used the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set with with it too!

For the flowers I used the Stamparatus so that it was easy to line up

& so that I could mass produce it so much faster!

 

You don't have to fussy cut out this flower.

For this flower I did the "masking technique".

How did I do it?

#1.  Stamp Flower using the Stamparatus.

 

#2.- I used a pink post-it-note, stamped the flower outline onto it 

& then fussy cut it out with scissors.

I put this post-it-note flower directly over the Fresh Freesia flower I stamped.

#3.  I then stamped the leaves.

Notice how I stamped the leaves slightly onto the post-it-note "flower mask".

#4.  This is what the "masking technique" flower looks like when finished.

It is really cool huh!
By doing the stamping with the "masking technique" way- 

it looks like the leaves are behind the flower.

 

Both of the flower/leaves are very pretty!

Which one do you like better?

Here are the supplies & measurements.

Peaceful Deer Bundle Fun Fold

 Here is a totally Susie card!

I LOVE this NEW Peaceful Deer Bundle!

IT just makes me smile.

My head just spins with ideas using it!

And the Deer is a PUNCH!

WOO HOO!!

This is a really cute fun fold card.

The center circle flips up & shows on the inside of the card when it is opened up.

Isn't this so cool!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So how did I do it?

#1.  Die cut circle window in card front.  

SAVE this piece as you'll use to layer the other circles/deer onto later.  

 #2.  Stamp words onto the lower part of the inside Basic White cardstock & then adhere to inside of card.

 

#3.  Make a box like this & add adhesive to the 1/4" strip & put together to form a box.

This is a 2 1/4 x 4 1/4" strip- score at 1/2", 1", 2", 3" & 4".

Here is the pattern you'll need to make the box above!

#4.  Adhere the box to the inside of the card as shown above.  

Put the box in the CENTER & close to the center fold of the card. 

Have the adhesive on it downward onto the Basic White card stock that is the inside base piece. 

 

#5.  You'll add adhesive along the lower part of the inside card front & then close the card.  

The card front will now be stuck down to the box top! 

 

#6.  I added the DSP strips & words onto the card front.

 #7.  Now you'll put adhesive on a little tab you make- like shown here on the right side.

 This is the pattern for the tab you'll need.

It is 3/4 x 2" & score it in half at 1".

#8. You'll fold the tab in half & adhere it down onto the box top.  

Make sure that the TOP (open) end of the tab is up & adhere it to the middle/top part of the box as shown here above.

You'll now add a piece of adhesive to this tab (on the top side) too!

*So yes- BOTH folded sides of this tab have adhesive onto them.

#9.  You'll put the 3 circles together.

With the card shut- you'll adhere the circle pieces to the center tab that is on the box top shown in the photo above for step #8.

#10.  You'll then add the deer. 

#11.  Your card is complete!

Here are the supplies & measurements.

Shadow Stamping with Forever Fern!

Check out this COOL NEW Embossing Folder!

It is a sneak peek!!

This NEW Star-Crossed Embossing Folder is

in the NEW Holiday Catalog & available on 8/3/21!

Isn't this such a COOL embossing folder!!! 

I just love it!

WOW- Look at these 2 cards.

They are both the same.....other than they are done in 2 different ways with 

the Shadow Stamping Technique!

 

#1- first card=  I used the Stamparatus for this, so that I could get precise stamping.

It is a tone on tone with the same ink & card stock.

I stamped the leaves in Mint Macaron ink, onto the Mint Macaron card stock.

I then cleaned my stamp & inked it in White Craft Ink & stamped directly over the leaves in the exact same spot!

#2-second card=  This is Basic Shadow stamping.  

I stamped the leaves onto the Basic White card stock using the Mint Macaron ink pad.  

Then without reinking it- I moved the image a little upward & stamped it again.

Shadow Stamping creates depth & movement!

Which one of these 2 cards do you like better?

Inks:  Mint Macaron & Craft White

I used the Stamparatus with this one!

Soft Pastels with Biggest Wishes!

 Check out this fun card using the Soft Pastels Chalks!

I used the Hello Embossing Folder & rubbed the chalks over the top of it!

The words are from the 'Biggest Wishes' stamp set! 

You can see another card with the Soft Pastel Chalks by CLICKING HERE!

 Didn't it turn out neat!

I had a hard time photographing it as the words are actually more defined 

in person than I can capture in my photos of it!

I wanted a smaller tag- so I cut this one apart & then I re-glued it! 

This tag is from the Tailor Made Tags Dies.

Yay- another way to make more uses of these dies! 

This is what the tag looks like after I cut it & glued it together!

You can't tell unless you look really closely that I altered it can you!

 I tried adding the chalk to the Basic Black card stock.....

it was with the Basic White card stock.
