Card Layout


Best Dressed Spotlight - ShonaGai
 
Dressed To Impress - Mother's Day Note Card
 
Mother's Day Note Card
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Cut Grapefruit Grove cardstock to 5" x 7". Score at 3-1/2" along the 7" side. Fold to create the note card.
  2. Die cut a scrap piece of paper that is at least 4" long into six strips using the purse handle/strip die from the All Dressed Up Dies. 5 strips will be used on the card and 1 will be used for spacing.
  3. Place one strip, without adhesive along the left edge of the card front as a spacing template. Hold it in place and adhere a strip next to it with the excess length off the top and bottom of the card. Move the template strip to the right side of the strip you just glued down. Repeat until you have 5 strips adhered to the card front. Trim off excess length even with the top and bottom edges of the card.
  4. Next, use Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder to heat emboss the perfume bottle and flower images from the Dressed To Impress stamp set. Start by rubbing the Embossing Buddy over Whisper White cardstock to reduce static.
  5. Stamp the perfume bottle with VersaMark ink on Whisper White cardstock. Cover generously with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. Tap off excess powder. Carefully use the Heat Tool to heat emboss the image.
  6. Repeat the steps to heat emboss three of the small single flower images and three of the double flower images.
  7. Use the watercolor wash stamp images from the Dressed To Impress stamp set to "colour in" the perfume bottle and flower images. To get a soft effect, ink the stamp and stamp off once on scrap paper before stamping onto the embossed image. Use stamped off Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Use stamped off Coastal Cabana for the larger single flowers and the smaller double flowers. Use stamped off Grapefruit Grove ink for the perfume bottle and larger double flowers.
  8. Die cut flower and perfume bottle images with the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies.
  9. Adhere die cut flowers to card front with Mini Glue Dots and the die cut perfume bottle with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  10. Stamp greeting from Dressed To Impress stamp set onto Coastal Cabana cardstock with Bermuda Bay ink. Die cut greeting with label die from the All Dressed Up Dies. Adhere across perfume bottle.
  11. Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere From My Heart Faceted Gems to the card.

Stampin' Up! News from ShonaGai
Stampin' Up! Inspiration Project
 
Hello,

It may not feel like it, but Winter is just around the corner. I'm shaking off the wet weather blues by creating with some gorgeous new floral stamps from the Mini Catalogue. I think you'll love the style and luxurious colours of the Peaceful Poppies Suite as much as I do.

This is actually a mega-suite, meaning it has two stamp sets and two die sets, plus lots of other awesome coordinating accessories. One of the items from this suite is a hidden gem that I'm showcasing in this month's tutorial, so check it out below!

Have you seen the newly released Coordinating Products that go with favourites from the Mini and Sale-A-Bration catalogues? I love how these products are designed to make it easier to create with, and step-up the style, of some of our most popular new products.

Sincerely,
ShonaGai

This little kit packs a big punch at a small price. It includes 8 sheets of die-cut printed accents that coordinate with the Peaceful Poppies suite.

These aren't your run-of-the-mill die-cuts either. You get a whole selection of die cut images, shapes, and labels with embossing, foil accents, coloured images, and printed vellum that make it quick and simple to step-up the style on your projects.

GATHER THE GANG
Sale-A-Bration is a great time to gather for a fun morning of stamping. I have prepare a couple of projects using a Sale-A-Bration product or two and help your friends step away from their reality for a few hours.
The Gang’s All Meer Stamp Set is a fun one to bring out the smiles and you can show its versatility with our projects here. To create a darling valentine, we paired the set with From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Heart Punch Pack, and the Stitched Be Mine Dies. The beautiful For You card shows the opportunity to pair sentiments with embellishments, in this case, the Peaceful Poppies Elements. And on our cute birthday box, we combined the stamp set with the Bonanza Dies. There are so many ways to share creativity!

If you like to organise a get together with your friend, please contact me and we can arrange a time for a great card making, coffee and fun with your friends.
