Dare to Dream Card




With all of the devastation Hurricane Harvey has left behind in my city, I wanted to share something uplifting today. Although Houston is damaged and many lost everything, Houstonians are strong and resilient. Our community has come together in a remarkable way during this horrific storm. I am so thankful that my family and home were safe during the storm. I feel blessed to now have the opportunity to help others impacted by Harvey.

Project Measurements
Melon Mambo base 4.25" x 4 7/8"
Whisper White 4.5" x 4"
Designer paper 3.5" x 5.25"



I used the Dare to Dream hostess stamp set for this project. This set is available for purchase using stampin' rewards when you place a $150 order (order total before tax/shipping) in my Online Store.


Helpful Tips:
  • Cut the designer paper layer to size (measurements listed above) and score the short side at 1/4". Fold and crease the score line and then adhere the flap behind the Whisper White layer. Adhere the Whisper White layer to the Melon Mambo base. Cut off any excess length of the designer paper.

Project Measurements
Basic Gray card base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"
Basic Gray layer 3.75" x 5"




Helpful Tips:
  • When adding layers the same color as your card base, ink the edges in the coordinating ink color to add easy dimension to the layer.
  • Heat emboss in white to help the sentiment pop on darker cardstock.

Crafty Just a Note




I love the simplicity of this card. Even though it's simple, it's still pretty! This image from the Crafting Forever stamp set is perfect for a note card. I love that paired with the "A NOTE FOR YOU" sentiment from the Wood Words stamp set, you can write any message on the inside, to fit any occasion.

Helpful Tips:
  • Layer the card with a piece of cardstock the same color as the card base. Ink the edges of the layer in the same color to give a shadow and help the layer stand out.
  • Use a blender pen to color the image.

Lemon Lime Hooray| July Paper Pumpkin Alternate Idea #2


 


I have another fun alternate project idea for you using the July Paper Pumpkin Kit: Positively Picturesque. Lemon Lime Twist & Basic Black are such a striking combination together! The beautiful watercolor wash card base that comes in the kit was perfect for this card. I simply cut the card base down to use it as a layer for this alternate idea.




Helpful Tips:
  • Add a layer 1/8th of an inch larger than your focal panel for a peek of color.
  • When adding ribbon, cut two pieces. Wrap one piece around your layer and adhere it to the back. Use the other piece to make a simple knot around the first piece of ribbon. This is any easy way to get a "bow" tied look without all of the fuss.



Project Measurements
Lemon Lime Twist base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"
Basic Black layer 3 5/8" x 5 1/8"
Top layer 3.25" x 5"




Don't miss this month's kit! SUBSCRIBE to Paper Pumpkin by August 10th.

Thankful Paisleys & Posies


 


Talk about some serious color!! 
It's interesting where inspiration comes from sometimes. I was in the mood for some Peekaboo Peach and some serious stampin'. The Paisleys & Posies stamp set is perfect when you really want to stamp, it has so many great images for making backgrounds. I had absolutely no vision for this card when I began...I just knew I wanted to use those two things. I'm really loving the finished product and the amazing marriage of colors!

Stampin' Up! Color Combo


Project Measurements
Lemon Lime Twist base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"
Berry Burst layer 4" x 5.25"
Peekaboo Peach layer 3.75" x 5"
Night of Navy layer 3.5" x 4.75"
Whisper White layer 3.25" x 4.5"


         


Helpful Tips:
  • When stamping your own background, start with the largest image and work your way down to the smallest. This will help to ensure you get the best coverage possible!
  • Add a piece of vellum behind the sentiment layer to mute the colorful background and allow the sentiment to stand out.
