Poinsettia Thank You

Back again!

Just whipped up about 20 of these simple Poinsettia Thank You cards....I kind of love them!

These will be entered into the Challenges at; Stamp TV, Thank You, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes and Penny Black, CAS.  I will also enter these at All Sorts, Seasonal Flowers.

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets; Perfect Poinsettias and Lots Of Thanks.  The Poinsettia is a 4 stamp layering process, 4 for the pink petals and 4 for the yellow centers.  Soooo it really is a lot of stamping for a set of 20 of these.  Plus the sentiment.  Thankfully a few years back my dear friend gifted me with a Misti.....PHEW!  Makes all the difference!  

Using a pale blue Copic Marker I outlined the Poinsettia to add a bit more depth.

Inks;

Raven Black

Pink Pirouette

Melon Mambo

Rose Red

So Saffron

Daffodil Delight

Crushed Curry

Card Stock; 

Pink

Black

Yellow

Each card measures 4" x 4" and if you place them in a regular size envelope

there is no extra postage.

Stained Glass Poppies

Donna Phelan back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog,
sharing a very simple feminine card with you today.

 

I have used the beautiful Tutti Designs Stained Glass Poppies. 

I have kept my design clean and simple as I wanted this beautiful die to shine through!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cut the pretty Poppies Frame from Hot Pink Foil.  Again, I always make up sheets of pretty Foiled Paper by using my Mini Minc and Toner Sheets.  It's so wonderful to keep a stash on hand.  I sponged inks on to White card stock in pinks and greens, creating my pretty background.

 

 

 

 

 

My only accents are a little bit of texture from a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and a sheer Pink Ribbon tied into a simple knot.  I did not add anything to the inside nor did I add a sentiment, this way I can use it for any type of Happy Mail!

 

 

Just a wee bit of dimension.  No extra postage needed!

 

 

 

Here's what I used:

Happy Birthday, Hank

Hello!  Back again on the Dies R Us Blog

 

 

Today happens to be my Grand Fur Baby, Hank's 4th Birthday! 

So of course, I had to make him a birthday card.  With a new baby in the house

we don't want him to feel neglected....trust me, he is not!

 

 

 

 

 

I used the fabulous Tutti Designs Stained Glass Dog.  Isn't he just the sweetest?  I cut out the frame in Gold Foil, which I created using Toner Paper and my Mini Minc Machine.  Here's a simple tip:  I always create sheets of foil, that way I have a bunch of pretty colors to use my dies on.  I backed the Gold Foiled Frame on to Double Sided Adhesive Paper and then started to fill in the open areas with Glitter in many different colors.  Now let me tell you....do not do it this way!  Ever!  It is labor intensive and the glitter typically does not go where you want it to go.  lol  You may want to try adding all white or clear glitter and then just coloring it with markers.  You could also add a Vellum backing and color on the backside of that to let the colors shine through.  I will definitely use these options the next time!  The Double Sided Adhesive paper really hangs on to the Glitter though, so that's a plus! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I ended up cutting the frame 3 times to build up some dimension.  A few paw prints and a Puppy Love greeting on the inside and my card was complete. 

 

 

 

 

 

He is quite sparkly!

 

 

 

 

Here's what I used:

 

Tutti Designs Stained Glass Dog

 

 

And here's a few pictures of our lovable Hank!

CAS JOY To The World

Back again!

I finally decided to make 20 CAS Christmas card designs.  This to me, is a mass production.  I know there are some of you who do a lot more than 20.  But I have about 30 Christmas cards made in a variety of themes and I always make 40 Beach Photo Christmas cards (which is a lot quicker than making a 'real' card).  I really would love to scale back, but I fear I may have to make even more.

These will be entered into the Challenges at; Simon Says Monday, Star Light Star Bright, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes, and Penny Black, Clean And Simple.

Here is my CAS Christmas card collection.

 

 

I started with a design in pinks, not really what I was going for. 

Sentiments embossed in pink too.

 

 

 

 

Designer Papers by PTI

 

 

 

 

 

 

I switched over to a more rustic look.  Again, using Designer papers by PTI.

Stitched Nesting Stars by Tutti Designs

Stamped Flourish by Stamp Of Approval, Beautiful World Collection. 

Sentiments also by PTI; Wonderful Words Joy. Heat embossed in White.

 

 

 

 

Today's Tip:  Always make sure when using your Misti that you place the card base in the correct way, otherwise, use a handy dandy piece of Washi Tape to conceal the evidence lol.  Thankfully I only did this once, now who will be the lucky recipient of that?  HA!

 

Thanks for coming by.

 

Merry Merry!

 

 

 

Joy To The World

Good Morning!

I'll have a few quick posts for you today!

This first card will be entered into the Challenges at; Papertrey Ink, Love Of Layers, Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes and Stamping Sensations, Winter Trees And Flowers.

 

 

 

I created many layers, in ink and paper. 

 

Papertrey Ink Products; Spruce And Sprigs stamps.

Wonderful Word Joy die. 

Designer Paper; Holiday Flourishes And Swirls.

Corner Punch.

Inks; Wild Wasabi, Pear Pizzazz, Always Artichoke

Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo

So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, Real Red

Raven Black

All colored inks were layered upon each other to bring a bit more depth.

I layered the JOY die cut 3 times to add more dimension.

 

 

 

 

 

Eclipse JOY.

 

 

 

Can you see it. JOY?

 

 

 

 

7 paper layers in all.

 

Thanks for popping in.

 

Enjoy~~



Happy Happy Joy Joy

Good Morning!

Back again for one final post on the Tutti Designs Blog.

 

I am so happy to have been a part of this wonderful Design Team here at Tutti Designs. 

So many wildly talented ladies!  Although I am leaving here I am always around. 

Thanks so much for everything.....especially you, Darlene! 

I am proud to call you my friend!  xoxo

 

This card sums up my feelings to all things Tutti Designs!

 

 

 

I used the fun Nesting Stitched Banners die set.  Aren't they great?!?  This set includes 7 dies.....SEVEN DIES!!!  That's amazing!  Perfect sizes for all of your card making needs!  Typically the banners are used vertically, here I have used them horizontally.  I die cut 5 and placed them on top of a piece of Teal and White Baker's Twine.  Reminds me of celebration flags you would see flapping in the breeze on a boat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I splattered Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Sweet Mint on my White card stock panel.  Then stamping my sentiments in Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo inks.  Gina K Designs stamp sets; Let It Snow and Mistletoe Memories.  A very simple card to make, but I just loooooove it!  Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink for accent.

 

 

Here's what I used:

Poinsettia Tag

Hello!  Back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog. 

 

It's the end of November time to get serious about finishing up some Christmas cards!

 

Here's what I have for you today!

 

 

 

 

 

I used the beautiful Memory Box Plush Poinsettia Corner die.  I cut once in White and then in Hot Pink layering the pink petals back in to the white base die.  Check out all of that texture on the pretty petals.  I decided to make a faux window by layering 2 Tutti Designs Nesting Stitched Tags together, leaving just a border.  On the back of the cut I added a piece of Vellum and White card stock--which I also added texture to using a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.

 

 

 

 

Cut a smaller Stitched Tag for my sentiment and stamped image. 

 

I love these colors in Turquoise, Pink and White.  Non Traditional Christmas colors for sure, but I like their bright cheery effect!

 

 

 

 

I only adhered the very top of the sentiment tag so you could curl the end of it, this lends just a bit more dimension to the card.

Sheer Ribbon and Adhesive Pearls, which I colored with

Copic Markers to coordinate with my card stock.

Power Poppy stamps; Simple Joys and Glistening Paperwhites.

This card will also be entered into the Challenges at;  Scrapy Land, Anything Goes and Power Poppy, Portion Control

 

Fa La La La La

 

 

 

Here's what I used:
