Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop!

Every Rose Has It's Thorns is our theme this week at Create with Connie & Mary. We all used flowers on our projects. Here's mine using the Serene Garden stamp set and my Stampin' Blends:

Once I colored all of the images with my Stampin'  Blends, I outlined all of the lines with my Ivory Stampin' Blends Marker to make all of the colors pop. See what I mean in this photo below?

You can really see the outlining on my sentiment in this photo:

 

Card layers:

• Card Base: Blackberry Bliss Cardstock 8-1/2" x 5-1/2". Score and fold at 4-1/4". 
• Layer #2: Rich Razzleberry Cardstock 5-1/4" x 4". Glue to card base.
• Layer #3: Whisper White Cardstock 5" x 3-3/4". Stamp the images using Memento Black Ink. Color using Stampin' Blends: Old Olive Light & Dark, Daffodil Delight Light & Dark, Pumpkin Pie Light and Rich Razzleberry Light & Dark. Once all of the images are colored, use the Ivory Blends to outline around the images. Glue to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
• Bling: Add a few Pearl Jewels in the background.

3D Thursday and FREE Project Sheet!

It's Twila's turn from Stamp A Little Longer this week to create for our 3D Thursday team. Twila created this very fashionable Altered Mini Comp Book with Pen for us. Isn't it the cutest?

I love how she threaded the ribbon through the designer paper to make a loop to hold the pen in place:

And the black strip on the edge really does make it look like a fashionable comp book. You can find our weekly FREE Project Sheet at the bottom of my post!

July Club Projects!

I met with my stamp clubs last week and these were the three projects we created:

The Broadway Bound Suite was such a hit with our June Paper Pumpkin kit wasn't it? I heard back from a lot of you that you loved how Paper Pumpkin coordinated the June kit with products from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. Since I had the suite of products, I decided to use them for this card and coordinating tag:

The Suite includes these following products:

• Broadway Birthday stamp set
• Broadway Lights Dies
• Broadway Bound Designer Paper
• Broadway Bound Cardstock Pack
• Candle Embellishments

I actually ended up adding a Candle Embellishment over the "I" that I forgot to photograph when I made the change after I took all of my photos. You can also see how nice and shiny gold some of the pages of the designer papers are in the photo below:

The big "Wish" die-cut looks lovely on my tag. The Lovely Lipstick Cardstock color really stands out on the Whisper White and Basic Black Cardstocks doesn't it?

This is the listing of supplies used on the card & coordinating tag:

Card #2 was so much fun! We used the Seize The Day stamp set on this one:

I love how I created this adorable scenery from just a few stamps in the background and then added the leafy branches in the foreground. Pretty colors and pretty stamped images make for a beautiful card!

Technique Tuesday Live Facebook Class for July!

My Technique Tuesday Live Facebook Class has come and gone for July. If you missed it, I have the video at the end of my post for you today!

If you watch my video, you'll see that I demonstrate the Foil Embossing Technique and did you know that there is actually a wrong and a right way of doing this? I show you the difference. These are the two cards I made using the same supplies:

The Stampin' Up! supplies I used on this card are from the Best Route Suite and include:

• En Route Stamp Set
• Best Route Designer Paper
• Best Route Enamel Shapes
• Maps, Etc. Embossing Folder
• Best Route Cardstock Pack

The only difference between the two cards is the pattern on the designer paper layer:

I flipped the designer paper over on this card:

The embossed foil is so pretty on these cards, or should I say handsome? And yes, I did use regular household foil! The tip is to glue it on regular cardstock first and then run it through the Big Shot Machine. The embossed "bumps" won't flatten out this way.

Now you can watch my video and if your electronic device doesn't allow it, I included a clickable link below the video:

Create a Pie using the Basket Weave Embossing Folder!

Good Morning Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. My project for today was created back in May and I totally forgot to post the video on YouTube and also here on my blog! Some of the products I used are now retired but different colors, ribbon and bling can be substituted:

I used the Apron Of Love stamp set for the sentiment, the Wood Textures Designer Paper, Petal Pair Embossing Folders for the background and the Basket Weave Embossing Folder to create a pie! All four of these products are still available for purchase! Take a look at some photos:

You can see that I used both embossing folders, one on each card for the background.  I wanted to show you both folders:

Four Petal 3D Frame & Coordinating Card for Sunday Share!

Everyone loves my new Sunday Share Catalog Case Classes that are Live on my Facebook page. Just take a look at what my class was all about a few weeks ago:

I cased using the "Copy and Selectively Edit" meaning this time. I wanted the card from the catalog to coordinate with my frame so I changed up the cardstock colors. Do you like? And the photo below shows you a close-up of those beautiful 3D flowers using the Pop Of Petals stamp set and coordinating Four-Petals Punch:

I doubled them up and used a Stampin' Dimensional between each layer for height.

And here you can see how I substituted the pink with white cardstock on the card to coordinate with the 3D frame. I also used the same punched flowers that I used on the frame:

You can learn how to create the 3D flowers along with the frame & card in my video below. If you can't click on the video due to your electronic device, I have included a clickable link below the video:
