Rosette # 1

I took this card from the “Impressions” Magazine we get each month if you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. It is packed with heaps of fun ideas to use.

Rosette # 2

I actually CASEd everything on the card, although from memory, I don’t think it had Pearls, as I added these afterwards. It was such a stricking card and along with the colours & stamp set, thought it perfect to teach Rosettes at one of my Sunday Classes too.

Until next time, Happy Stampin’

Our challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations proved a lot harder for me than I thought it would. I had an idea in my mind from the first time I saw the sketch, but when it come to creating it, well that idea went out the window & I ended up just winging this one.

The challenge was brought to us by Kris in the way of the sketch & using current “In Colours“

Measurements –
Base Card – Whisper White – 8 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ or 21cm x 15cm
Layer 1 – Wisteria Wonder – 5 3/4″ x 4″ or 14.5cm x 10cm
Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 1 7/8″ or 14.5cm x 5cm
Layer 3 – DSP – 5 5/8″ x 2 1/8″ or 14.5cm x 5.5cm

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Delicate Doilies, Short & Sweet
Ink – Wisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride
Cardstock – Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder

Ribbon – 3/8″ Ruffled – Wisteria Wonder
Punches – Modern Label, 2 1/2″ Circle
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Basic Pearls, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Glue

Inside…

I randomly stamped an image from Delicate Doilies using both Wisteria Wonder & Blusing Bride Inks.

I adhered the piece of DSP to the RHS piece of Wisteria Wonder Cardstock & then the stamped piece of Whisper White Cardstock using Snail Adhesive. This piece overlapped the piece of DSP a little so that I wouldn’t have a space down the middle.

Ribbon was adhered along the bottom part of the Cardstock using Snail Adhesive, tucked the ends under & tied a bow.

I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Wisteria Wonder Ink, punched out with the Modern Label Punch, applied 2 small Basic Pearls, one each side, added a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals & adhered to the bottom RHS side of the card.

The whole piece was adhered to the Base Card – Whisper White with Snail Adhesive.

For my centre piece, I stamped the image 3 times onto a scrap piece of Whisper White Cardstock, and once onto another piece. The last piece was punched using the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch. I realised that I don’t use this punch nearly enough! This large punched piece was adhered to the card with Tombow Multipurpose Glue.

With the 3 stamped images, I cut around them at different areas of the stamp. I did confuse myself a little here as I wasn’t too sure where I was going, but the idea had been in my head since seeing this stamp set & finally got to do it!

The 3 images were then layered on top of each other using Stamping Deimensionals. I applied a Basic Pearl to the centre to finish it off.

I love the Ruffled Ribbon from Stampin’ Up! Another item I don’t use enough of.

I’m really happy with the card & the soft look it has. I think this stamp set calls for a soft delicate look.

Now it is your turn to pop over to Sunny Challenges & Creationsto check out what Gwen, Kris & Tanya have created, as well as our weekly guest designers. Create your project using the challenge & link back with Mr Linky.

Until next time, happy stampin’

I’ve finally managed to play with a new stamp set. Mind you, this is one of the sets I pre-ordered prior to the new Catalogue coming out! I loved this set from the moment I saw it, but have had a bit of a hard time creating with it.

Layer 1 – Lucky Limeade – 5 3/4″ x 2 7/8″ or 14.5cm x 7.5cm
Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 2 3/4″ or 14cm x 7cm

Layer 1 – Pool Party – 5 3/4″ x 2 7/8″ or 14.5cm x7.5cm

Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 2 3/4″ or 14cm x 7cm

Inside RHS –

Layer 1 – Lucky Limeade – 5 3/4″ x 4 1/8″ or 14.5cm x 10.5cm

Layer 2 – Whisper White – 5 5/8″ x 4″ or 14cm x 10cm

Inside LHS –

In stamped my image in the RHS corner using Lucky Limeade Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock, adhered to Pool Party & then to Base Card – Island Indigo. I applied a Basic Rhinestone to centre of image.

Inside RHS –
I randomly stamped images onto Whisper White using Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo & Pool Party Inks, run it through the Bigshot using Embossing Folder – Square Lattice, adhered to Lucky Limeade Cardstock & then to Base Card – Island Indigo. I again applied Basic Rhinestones to some of the images.

Inside – LHS…

Front –

I repeated the above step for the front of the card, including the embossing. I stamped my greeting twice onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock with Lucky Limeade & Island Indigo Inks. I adhered the Lucky Limeade greeting to a piece of Pool Party Cardstock with SU Dimensionals. This piece had been punched using my 2 1/2″ Scallop Circle Punch. I punched the centre out of the Island Indigio greeting with my 1″ Circle Punch & adhered this to the centre of the Lucky Limeade greeting with SU Dimensionals.

I again randomly applied Basic Rhinestones to the stamped images & put dots around the scallop circle with my White Gel Pen.

Don;t you just love the names SU call their Cardstock & Inks, especially the In Colours – they always have such catchy names.
