    #DOswts360 - Sketch Inspiration Hop - Featuring Dragonfly Garden

     


    Hey Crafty Friends!!!  It's time for the April Sketch Inspiration Hop.  Today I am using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and Dandy Garden DSP,  both are part of the Dandy Garden Suite and can be found on pages 24 -27 of the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog.     




    Card Details
    • Paper
      • Blackberry Bliss CS card base 11 " x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
      • Basic White CS layer 5 1/4" x  4", plus scrap 
      • Dandy Garden DSP   1" x 3" (2 each) and 1 x 2 1/4" (2 each)
    • Stamps
      • Dragonfly Garden
    • Ink 
      • Bumblebee, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy
    • Accessories 
      • Tasteful Labels Dies, Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim,  2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots, Blender Pen



    Tip: I used the Blender Pen and ink to add a bit of color to the larger flowers.  Bumblebee on the petals and Early Espresso in the flower centers.  Adding color with a blender pen is a quick way to take ink directly from the ink pad and it is easy to control the color intensity.   Give Blender Pens ( #102845).

      Fine Art Floral - Rip and Flip Technique

      Hey Crafty Friends!!!  I love it when I stumble to a new technique or something that I have never tried before.  Today my card is made using a simple Rip and Flip technique that learned about on YouTube from Jacque Williams, a New Zealand Demonstrator.  I am hooked!!  It is always exciting to try something new.  



      Card Details

      • Paper 
        • Pool Party CS card base 11" x 4 1/4", score and fold at 5 1/2"
        • Basic White CS layer 5 1/4" x 4"
        • Fine Art Floral DSP 5 1/2" x 3 7/8" 
      • Stamps 
        • Lovely You 
      • Ink 
        • Pretty Peacock 
      • Accessories 
        • Label Me Fancy Punch, White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blend, Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels


      TIP:  The Rip and Flip is easy.  Make sure to cut your DSP slightly longer than the Basic White layer, rip the DSP about 1 1/2" and flip one side over to show both sides of DSP.  Overlap the DSP to fit onto the white layer.

        Keep #SimpleStamping - Featuring Positive Thoughts Stamp Set

        Hey Crafty Friends!!! Time for the April Keep #SimpleStamping from Stampin' Up!.  The purpose of the challenge is to create and share easy-to-make projects to show you, my friends and followers, how enjoyable papercrafting can be.  Each month the challenge requirements change just a little, but basically it is paper, ink and stamps.  This month they added "share your favorite retiring product" and the theme is "Thanks".




        Card Instructions
        1. Cut card base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score and fold at 4 1/4".
        2. Cut Basic White layer 5 1/2" x 4" and stamp leaves and butterfly from Positive Thoughts Stamps.  Add sentiment of choice. 
        3. Attach to card front with glue and add embellishments to butterfly.  


        This card comes together so quickly.  I absolutely love the Positive Thoughts stamp set, I can't believe it took me a year to buy it.  





        Positive Thoughts #151490




        For the April Keep #SimpleStamping we can add a favorite retiring product.  I used the retiring Gold Glitter Enamel Dots #152155.  I love the variety of sizes in this pack of dots 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm.
