DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #239: Pool Party Daisy Delight

Welcome to this weeks DOStamper Stars Thursday "Sketch Challenge" Challenge #239. For the second time this week I am Daisy Delight stamps and Pool Party ink.  I even made another Whisper White and Pool Part Daisy.  I guess I am in a Pool Party kind of mood.  If you are wondering about my new front lawn it looks fabulous. 

 
 Card Measurements:
 Pool Party base 5 1/2 x 4 1/
Pool Party layer 5 1/4 x 4
Delightful Daisy  DSP 1 x 6  and 1/2 x 6 
Whisper White  3 x 3 (3 each)
 
DSC#239
 


TIP:  To give the Daisy a bit of dimension, use the bone folder to add a bit of curve to the petals.  Being careful not to pull to hard causing a petal to tear off. (Happened twice while making this card). Also layering the flower adds dimension as well, here I used three layer to create this flower.

 


Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today. I hope you enjoyed viewing my DO Stampers STARS Thursday Card Sketch Challenge featuring the Daisy Delight and Pool Party.
FYI: Stampin Up Bonus Days are back for the month of July. Earn in July, Spend in August. Check it out here.

Case That Card: Wood Words

Okay, it has been so hot and my lawn has been striped in preparation for new sod.  That 5-year drought in Texas ruined our grass.  New front yard this year, next year we attack the backyard. Of course it is super hot this week.  I guess as long as I water the sod on schedule it should be fine. That is what the landscaper said. Hopefully, I can share a photo of my new lawn on my next post.

Today I am sharing a card that I CaSEd (Copy and Share Everything) from Pinterest, to be more specific that I CaSEd from Valerie Moody on Pinterest.  When I saw her card (you can see it here) I was in love and I needed to make a red and white card for a swap, so life was very good that day.  Here is my card. 

 
 
Card Measurements:
 Real Red base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Whisper White layer 5 1/4 x 4
Wood Textures DSP 4 x 2 3/4
 

TIP:   After I stamped the chicken image on Whisper White and die cut it with the Stitched Shapes circle  I took a wet paint brush ran it across the Smoky Slate ink pad and then flicked it on the image.  It took away some of the starkness of the white cardstock and blended with background DSP.
 


Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today. I hope you enjoyed viewing my card CASE project featuring the Wood Words Bundle.  Hands down this has to be one of my favorite bundles and I have yet to make a crate.   FYI:  Stampin Up Bonus Days are back for the month of July. Earn in July, Spend in August.  Check it out here.




One more thing, I am having a giveaway on my cross stitch blog Tea-n-Stitches.  Check it out if you are interested in cross stitch, I am offering a chance to receive a Lizzie Kate pattern or card with gift bag.

Card Sketch Monday: Freshly Made Sketches #295 - Daisy Delight

Here is another Card Sketch Monday, today I am playing with Freshly Made Sketches #295. For this card I created my own background using the Ink Swiping technique that I learned about on You Tube here.   I used Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pool Party inks to create the background on Whisper White.  To finish it off a Pool Party daisy and the Daisy Delight Bundle.  OOPS!! I failed to  link my post to FMS blog on time.  Here it is if you want to see sketch and all the other great card creations.
 
 
Card Measurements:
 Old Olive base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Daffodil Delight layer 5 3/8 x 4 1/8
Whisper White layer 5 1/4 x 4
Pool Party strip 1 1/4 x 4
Delightful Daisy DSP 1 x 4
Whisper White 3 x 3 (3 each for flower)

TIP: To make the background I cut my Whisper White piece bigger, about 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 and  used removable adhesive to hold my paper in place while doing the ink swiping.  Once I was satisified with my swipes I cut down my paper picking the optimum image for my card.


Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today. I hope you enjoyed viewing my project featuring the Daisy Delight and ink swiping.  FYI:  Stampin Up Bonus Days are back for the month of July. Earn in July, Spend in August.  Check it out here.

Case the Catty: Featuring Falling Flowers Stamps and May Flowers Framelits

A few weeks ago I was looking through my collection of SU catalogs for a card to CASE (Copy and Share Everything). Sometimes I just CASE the layout and there are times when I copy the project in it's entirety. So here is my CAESd card Falling Flowers stamp set and May Flowers Framelits.  I find the catalogs are a great source of inspiration for making cards and other projects.  This is my interpretation of the sample in the catalog.  Although I changed the layout a bit I used similar colors and the same stamps and die cuts.

 

Card Measurements:
Crushed Curry base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
 white (retired) layer  2 1/2 x 3 1/2
Melon Mambo 3 x 3
 Tempting Turquiose 3 x 3
Old Olive 3 x 3
 
Inspiration from 2016-2017 Stampin Up Catalog
 

TIP:  To give the flower extra dimension I used multiple layer of Stampin Dimensionals.   There is one dimensional layer under the Tempting Turquoise flowers.  The Melon Mambo has one layer of dimensionals and is placed on top of the Tempting Turquoise flowers to give a bit more lift. (Hope that is clear.) Also adding the Pearl Basic Jewels  draws you eye to the flowers as well.





Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps.  I hope you enjoyed my project featuring May Flowers Framelits and Falling Flowers Stamps.   Below is the same card in the 2017-2018 In Colors that made a few weeks ago. You can check it out on my blog here.

Flashback Friday - Gorgeous Grunge

At least once a month I post a Flashback Friday, featuring a new card made with retired SU products.  Don't fret, if you are really interested in any of the retired products featured in this post, I (or your local demonstrator) can try to find the product for you.  Just ask and I will get to work for you.

Today, I am featuring a card I made for a young lady that recently graduated from Burkburnet High school and is preparing to attend UT Austin this fall.  I tried to use UT colors for the card.  The stamp set is Gorgeous Grunge, it was retired 1 June 2017.  It was a very popular stamp set  and it is one I will keep as long as I am stamping.  I love to use it to create bold and subtle backgrounds.  Full disclosure this card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest last year. 


Card Measurements:
Tangerine Tango base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Smoky Slate layer 5 1/4  x 4
Whisper White layer 5 x 3 3/4
Tangerine Tango stars 3 x 3
Silver Glimmer Paper stars 3 x 3
 

TIP: Use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure the stamps were exactly where I wanted them.  I did not want the lined stamp to appear crooked.  Also, glue dots work best for attaching the Silver Glimmer Paper star to the Tangerine Tango star. (At least that has been my experience).



Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today for a little glimpse into popular retired products. I hope you enjoyed viewing my project featuring the retired Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and the retired Stars Framelits.  Below are two similar cards I made last year.

DOStamper STARs Thursday Challenge #237: More Wood Words Bundle

Welcome to this weeks DOStamper Stars Thursday "Home Sweet Home" Challenge #237. Again, I am using the Wood Words Bundle for my card.  I just can't get enough of this bundle. 



Card Measurement
Night of Navy base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Real Red layer 5 1/4  x 4
Wood Textures DSP 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
Real Red 2 x 2 (4 each)
Night Of Navy  2 x 2 (4 each)
Wood Textures DSS 1 x 1 ( 3 each)

 

TIP:  I used the Layering Squares Framelits and Stitched Shapes Framelits to create the layered squares on this card.  For the stars I used the 2nd smallest of the Layering Squares Framelits and the Wood Textures DSS, cut the square then stamped the star in Real Red.  One star I die cut with the Wood Crate Framelits star shape and attached it to card with a Stampin Dimensional. 




Thanks for stopping by my blog, Tea and Stamps, today. I hope you enjoyed viewing my project featuring the rustic Wood Words Bundle and the Wood Textures Designer Series Stack.
