Mountains and Hearts!

-

Sometimes it pays to think outside the box. I was inspired by a fellow demonstrator, Su Mohr, to create a Valentine using the Horizon Dies (and a heart from the Sweet Hearts Dies). The minimalist nature of this card, combined with the Blackberry Bliss color scheme makes it a favorite of mine.


Measurements (full list of supplies at the bottom of this post)

  • Thick Basic White card base (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored in half at 4 1/4")
  • Blackberry Bliss layer (4" x 5 1/4" and a scrap about 1" x 3")
  • Basic White scrap (at least 1 1/4" x 5")
  • New Horizons DSP (blue scrap about 2" x 6", blackberry scrap about 1 1/2" x 5", razzleberry scrap about 1 1/2" square)

Directions
  1. Die cut the heart, water, and detail mountain layers from DSP, the solid mountain layer from Basic White and the banner/four hearts layers from the Blackberry Bliss scrap. You should be able to do this all in one pass of the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. You may want to use Post-It notes or washi tape to hold down the banner and four hearts dies together so they don't shift.
  2. Determine approximate placement of lake and mountains on the Blackberry Bliss layer and where you'll want to stamp the sentiment. Stamp the sentiment in Versamark and emboss with white powder.
  3. Adhere Blackberry Bliss layer to Basic White card base and the Blackberry Bliss detail mountain die cut to the Basic White mountain die cut.
  4. Add mini dimensionals to the back of the lake and mountains and adhere to card.
  5. Adhere heart behind the mountain range. If the dimensionals on the mountains are in the way, just trim the bottom of the heart a bit.
  6. Add jewels as desired.
  7. Adhere the banner to the inside of the card and the hearts to the envelope.

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.
