It Be Dazzling in Many Colors!

-

The Be Dazzling Specialty Paper that is in the SALE-a-bration brochure is certainly dazzling. It's a chamgpagne-y type color, but you can change that, if you want!


Supplies Needed:
  • Isopropyl alcohol that is at least 90% alcohol (the same strength you need for the alcohol blending technique that I showed earlier this summer)
  • Spritzer bottles (one per ink color)
  • Reinkers of your choice
  • Be Dazzling Specialty Paper

Directions:
  1. Protect your work surface by laying down some chipboard backing from Designer Series Paper packaging or a foil lasagna tin (you can rinse out and reuse).
  2. Fill the spritzer bottle about 3/4 full and add 9-10 drops of reinker. The more you add, the darker the color. Don't go overboard...you can always add more.
  3. Spritz your Be Dazzling paper evenly and let dry. It doesn't take too long due to the concentration of alcohol, but I'd give it at least 5 minutes.
On Friday's Friday Night Live, I WAS going to create this pretty card using strips I'd cut from the spritzed sheets. Instead, I created a different, but even more beautiful card using shapes I had punched (Tailored Tag punch) from my spritzed sheets. I used Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow to combine with the plain Be Dazzling paper to make a fall-colored birthday card. 



Additional Supplies Needed for Card:
  • Mossy Meadow card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4")
  • Cajun Craze layer (4" x 5-1/4")
  • Thick Very Vanilla cardstock (3-3/4" x 5")
  • Very Vanilla or Thick Very Vanilla scrap
  • Sentiment stamp of your choice
  • Cajun Craze ink pad
  • Tailored Tag punch
  • Dimensionals
  • Adhesive (I used Tombow liquid glue)
Directions for Creating the Card:
  1. Punch 4-5 pieces of each color of the Be Dazzling paper (original, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow)
  2. Layout punches on 3-3/4" x 5" Very Vanilla piece and adjust as necessary, then adhere. 
  3. Stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze on Very Vanilla scrap and punch out using Tailored Tag punch.
  4. Trim the pieces of Be Dazzling paper that extends beyond the edges of the Very Vanilla layer.
  5. Mount Very Vanilla layer onto Cajun Craze layer and then onto Mossy Meadow card base.
  6. Adhere sentiment to card using dimensionals.
  7. Adhere Very Vanilla inside layer of card, stamp and embellish as desired.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
