STITCHED STARS THAT SHINE!

One of my Granddaughters turns 18 today ❤. So I created a STITCHED STAR card from SU foils and glitter papers.

My base card is 6 1/2"×4 1/4" NIGHT OF NAVY with a top fold. I used LAYERED CIRCLES to cut a hole in the middle. There is a lot of cutting for this card.

I used BRUSHED METALLIC CS, GOLD FOIL, BRASS FOIL AND BALMY BLUE GLITTER PAPER to cut various stars.

I cut the long star cluster for a side piece. On the opposite side I glued stars in a random pattern.

On the inside I glued a star piece of paper from scrap.

The 18 is cut from RAINBOW GLIMMER PAPER.

I used a retired set of numbers because they were bigger. I could have cut a smaller hole to fit 2020-2021 Numbers. The finishing touch was RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS.

An easy card that looks very shiney for any occasion.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS

We just finished a beautiful Bible Study on the Fruit Of The Holy Spirit. I wanted our ladies to have a memento so I created a card they can place on a shelf.

It is created with SU stamp set POSITIVE THOUGHTS.

Very simple application. I used a regular base card in WHISPER WHITE and stamped the flower in DAFFODIL DELIGHT ink 6 times and the butterfly in PACIFIC POINT ink 3 times.

Since this is a 32 card set I did all the stamping first

Ahead of time I used Vellum to print out the fruit page to go on top. I typed in Publisher using a 2 column, 2 row table the full size of the paper. Then cut in 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" .

Next I put some bling at the top of the vellum sheets using the gold sequins from SEQUINS FOR EVERYTHING.

Tiny dots of SU LIQUID GLUE then lifting the sequins in place with the TAKE YOUR PICK TOOL. Use mini glue dots to fasten the vellum sheet over the front of the card.

For inside sentiments I used the STAMPARATUS mainly because of the bulk. Its so easy to get your image where you want it each and every time. TIP: clean the stamp off periodically so you don't get a messy build up.

Have fun!

Ornate Garden Patterned Paper

Quick Simple 'thinking about you' card.

6 1/2" x 4 1/4"card base in Sea Foam. Fussy cut a piece of 2 sided Ornate Garden Patterened Paper, floral side up. Then cut from more of the same sheet using the backside of the paper up, a Sunflower die from Sunflower Dies Set to place above the floral scene. Use Early Espresso Card Stock to cut a center. The die is from the same set. To dress up the Sunflowers, use Gold Glitter Enamel Dots in the center piece and spread Wink Of Stella on the centers of the sunflowers on the scene at the bottom. It's hard to see in the photo but the Wink Of Stella glitters quite nucely!
Use Just Jade Ribbon to fashion some loop leaves for balance. I taped the bottoms together then glued the loops under the die cut flower.
The new Playful Alphabet Die set works great to create a sentement out of Just Jade Card Stock.

PLAYING WITH PATTERNS SCRAP MOSAIC

I love most anything mosaic. I've been wanting to make a simple card for a long time.

I have used the Playing With Patterns 6x6 paper for many projects. It's a versatile pack. ON SALE FOR $9.78 #152490

I'm also using Stitched Rectangles for my main cuts then cutting those into triangles. Mine aren't all the same shape and size. After you've cut a bunch of triangles and even some small squares arrange a pattern that fits your card front.

My base card is Calypso Coral. I end up using a 5 x 4 Night Of Navy top piece that represents grout.

The pieces are attached with glue. My top pieces were a bit off so I added fillers and a bow from scrap in a Paper Pumpkin kit.

You can get as intricate or as simple as you want.

CREATION UPDATE --- VERY IMPORTANT!

My horn is hanging in my Craft Room and is falling apart-- I don't know if it's heat or the dimensionals. It's probably best to use a low heat glue gun on these types of projects.

HUGS!

3-D Décor with Poinsettia Dies

It's so close to Holiday Time! I want to show you a simple application of bright red foil poinsettias to an old horn.

Poinsettia Dies #153522

The dies have a cutting and an embossing section in different sizes. The embossing piece fits inside of the cutting piece.

They come out nice and crisp.
You can do more than 1 at a ttime by stacking paper.
Remember to pass through more than once.

I traced and cut a curved piece from card stock to adhere to the base of the horn with Stampin' Seal

I used the template to cut a base from the Plush Poinsettia Patterend Paper mostly to give a bit more look of fullness.

Plush Poinsettia Patterened paper #153486

Stampin'Seal #152813

Red & Green Foil Sheets #153510

Cut/emboss 3 large and 3 medium poinsettias. Put each together with dimentionals in the middle. Cut 3 small flower centers with Gold goil and glue or use glue dots to adhere those to the centers of the flowers.

I make most flowers look like there is movement by using my thumb nail and "fluffing" the center of petlals. I also ccurve/bend the top petals from the centers pushing down with one thumb nail and creasing up with the other thumb,

There is an open die that fits the flowers in the plush Poinsettia Paper beautifully. Cut 3.

I used Basic Red Rhinestones for the centers.

Rhinestones Red Basic #146924

to forma backing for the flowers I used Metallic Mesh ribbon wo make loops along with some red cord I had on hand. I taped the ends to keep them together and to have a base for dimensionals. Make as many as you need to frame. I like side curves.

Metallic Mesh Ribbon #153550

Cut several leaves to frame the individual flowers from Gold Foil.

Plave the ribbon loops on top of the curved base piece. arrange the flowere white on the upper curve and red on the lower curve, arranging leaves inbetween the flowers., all with dimentionals for strenth. I used glue dots first and when it fell on the flower it all came apart. Lesson lesrned!

A fun piece to hang for Christmas!

3-D FUN PAMPERED PETS

Many, many years ago we made cards but we did a LOT of 3-d Projects. Today I chose a plastic small white gargbage can for a room I am redoing upstairs. I am using PAMPERED PETS stamp set and StazOn Black Ink. The ink is permanent. Easy name to remember that I think! Heating the imgages makes further application quicker. I colored the color with Blends in Real Red. Stampin Blends are also permanent. I plan to ad a bit more to the project later. I want to see it in the completed room first.

Have fun creating your own room decor in 3-D 💖💖
