Mountain Majesties Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card #2

-

 Hi Crafting Friend,

Ready for round 2 of Alternatives for this month's Paper Pumpkin? OK, let's go! Start with the Mountain Majesties Paper Pumpkin kit, add some cardstock, sponge daubers, blending brushes and extra ink and turn it into a jazzed up fun fold card.

CARD BASE:

  1. Petal Pink cardstock - 4 1/4" X 11" scored, folded and burnished at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2" to form an "Easel" card. 
CARD FRONT:
  1. Cut the card base on the score line and set aside half of it for another use.
  2. On the remaining half, using sponge daubers, ink the edges in the matching colors. Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Misty Moonlight (Stampin' Spot included in kit) and Basic Gray were used for the card shown.
  3. Punch a circle (1 3/8" - 1 1/2" in size) out of a 4 1/2" square piece of computer paper.
  4.  Position the paper so the circle is where you want it, then using a Blending Brush and Darling Duckling ink, apply the ink inside the punched circle to form the sun. (as shown below)
  5. Stamp the birds using Basic Gray.
  6. Ink the various layers of cardstock and vellum using the matching ink colors and sponge daubers.
  7. Add Dimensionals and/or Mini Dimensionals to the reverse side of the layers and adhere them to the card front. Preplan the placement of the Dimensionals so they are not stacked. If they are, the card may have to be hand cancelled by the post office when you mail it and that costs extra.
  8. Adhere the card front to the bottom 4 1/4" X 2 3/4" section of the card base. 
SENTIMENT:
  1. On a 2 3/8" X 1 3/4" labels (or a scrap of Basic White the same size) stamp the sentiment using Basic Gray.
  2. Leave approximately 1 1/8" of space beneath the sentiment label and adhere the label to the inside of the card using Dimensionals to act as a bumper to hold up the card front for display.

All supplies used are linked below the photos, including the ones that were included in the kit in case you want to try to replicate it without the kit supplies. If you decide to make this card, let me know how it goes. 

Phoenix Fan Fusion starts tomorrow, that's where I'll be this weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by MissQsCraftingContinuum, Live Long & Craft On! -Susan 🌄🖖

Heartfelt Hexagon & Perennial Lavender Sympathy Card

Hi Crafting Friend, The Perennial Lavender DSP was still on my desk along with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamps and punch so, that's what I started with. Instead of waiting until I need one, I decided to make a Sympathy card with them. I really like the way it looks. What do you think?       Card Front                                                                 Inside/Insert Here's how to duplicate it: CARD BASE Crumb Cake cardstock cut to 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"  Score, Fold and Burnish at 4 1/4" on the long side. INSERT Very Vanilla cardstock 4 1/2" X 4" edged with Pecan Pie ink and a 3/4" X 4" strip of Perennial Lavender DSP edged with Pecan Pie ink adhered next to it on the left side. CARD FRONT Punch 9 - 10 hexagons from the Perennial Lavender DSP and one from Very Vanilla or Crumb Cake cardstoc...

Hello Hills of Tuscany Fun Fold Card

Image
 Hi Crafting Friend, Welcome to 2024, the new Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This Spring Mini catalog is always my favorite, especially when you add the benefits of Sale-A-Bration to it. There are so many adorable stamp sets, dies, DSPs and other goodies! Do you like this catalog as much as I do?  Today's card uses the Hills of Tuscany stamp set. The images were stamped directly onto the DSP, (house - white craft ink, roof - Cherry Cobbler, trees and sentiment - Shaded Spruce) the house was then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The card base is Shaded Spruce cut to 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on the long side at 2 3/4 and 4 1/4. Fold it in half and then fold the card front back as shown in the photos below.  The Gorgeous Grape layers are 1 7/8 X 5 1/4 for the front and inside left; and 4 X 5 1/4 for the right side.  Cut a 1 inch strip off the top of the DSP to use on another project, then cut 2 pieces, each 1 3/4 wide from the left side (the tre...

Hello Happy Sea Turtle Card

-
Image
 Hi Stamping Friend, The card I have for you this week is the second of three I designed for the swap using products from the new January-April 2023 Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I paired the Sea Turtle and Happy Labels stamp sets from the mini catalog with Delicate Edges dies and Texture Chic DSP from the annual catalog. To me they seem made for each other.  This card is really quite simple if you have the basic tools. The DSP makes a perfect background. The turtle is fussy cut, the "seaweed" is die-cut. I gave the seaweed & turtle some dimension by using my bone folder to add some curl to the paper. The turtle is popped up with dimensionals, the seaweed is adhered with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, but I played with it, making sure some areas were slightly raised off the paper so it looks like it could be moving in the water. What do you think?   Thanks for stopping by, Live Long & Craft On! -Susan 🌄🖖 Product List Sea Turtle Photo...
