Savi Sunday = Stamping and Various Inspirations

Episode 24 - Playful Alphabet Dies

These letter dies are a great size and you get so many in the pack!  58 to be exact.  I love the fact there are two dies for popular letters such and L, E, A, O, P, S, T and more!  With 58 dies in total, these are going to get a lot of use.

Matter of fact, someone retired last week from my full time job, and I use the Playful Alphabet Dies on a memory board.  I die cut "You Will Be Missed" in a jiffy with the duplicate letters.  And the sizing was perfect!  I hope you get a lot of use out them too. 

Happy Birthday Card Details:

• Magenta Madness card stock base.  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
• Flowers For Every Season DSP cut 4 x 5-1/4
• Flowers For Every Season DSP alternate pattern cut 1-1/4 x 4 
• Whisper White CS cut 3/4 x 2-1/2
• Piece of Bumblebee 1/4" In-Color Ribbon.  Approximately a 16" long

1. Die cut Flowers For Every Season with Playful Alphabet dies.  Use a ruler and washi tape for alignment and so dies do not move.  Make sure to save the centers of any letters such as the A and the P's in my example, so you can glue back down. 
2. Adhere 1-1/4 x 4 DSP strip to back of larger DSP piece after words cut out. 
3. Adhere to Magenta Madness card base
4. Stamp Birthday word in Magenta Madness ink on Whisper White CS
5. Cut tail or flag end on Whisper White stamped piece and adhere to card
6. Wrap Bumblebee Ribbon around front card flap and adhere with glue dots.  Trim off excess to make a bow.

I hope you like this quick and easy birthday card.  Be sure to watch my video:

So I waited a few weeks to post this card project on my blog.  My Video has been out for a few weeks now on My YouTube channel.  I would completely appreciate your following so be sure to subscribe. 

It seemed like all my current projects have been with the Peaceful Poppies Suite so I have been trying to go to some other great things in my stash.  Well, let me tell you... I keep reaching for them!  Must mean I really like the suite, and well, I do.  Everything coordinates just so, you can make some quick and easy projects or really doc them up into intricate pieces of art. 

For this project I show you how to make a SWING FOLD CARD.  

Don't forget an inside!

Here are all the dimensions and what I used as far as paper

Paper Pieces:

• Basic Black card base is 4-1/4 x 11 and scored 2-3/4 and 5-1/2
• 2 Pieces of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper cut 4 x 2-1/2
• Inside Whisper white is 5-1/4 x 4
• Scrap Whisper White for the Oval
• Scrap Poppy Parade, Basic Black and Mossy Meadow for the Poppy Flower and Leaves

Have you guys been keeping busy?  I always think the first quarter of the year is going to provide some down time, but I don't know where is it all going.  Including Sale-a-Bration... we are in the last couple of weeks already.  Crazy!

I did not want you to miss out on some really pretty paper and a great stamp set.  I used both, along with some coordinating dies to create these cards. 

My colors are Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam.  Two of my favorites.  I know you cannot order the Purple Posy ink pad but you can order Purple Posy Blends to color images, ribbons, accessories.  It is a great option to still be able to use the color.  Love using my Blends for this purpose, in any color!

My card bases are standard 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 then scored at 4-1/4"

The So Very Vellum paper is a Free Sales-a-Bration earn with a $50.00 product purchase.  I cut my pieces to 4" x 5-1/2" so this way you can get six pieces per sheet.  The So Very Vellum comes in a 12x12 pack of 3 colors (blue not shown) and you receive two sheets of each color. 

Another Free Sale-a-Bration earn with a $50.00 product purchase, is the Happy Birthday To You stamp set.  Did you notice, I only have the Flowers on my card and not the cake like the stamp has!!!  That's because there is a coordinating product called Birthday Dies and one of the dies just cuts the flowers!  This is a huge bonus for me to get altered looks from the stamp set.  I used Smokey Slate ink for a softer look. 

Here are the dies...

LOOK!  The sprig and leaf dies cut 2 at a time!!!  So I cut some glimmer sprigs and some vellum leaves.

I'd be remiss if I did not mention the stitched rectangle... this is from one of my NEW FAVORITE Die sets called Stitched So Sweetly found in the 2020 Mini Catalog.  It is available in a BUNDLE Call So Sentimental but for this project, I just used the dies. check them out, they are awesome!

I wanted to show you another card using the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper.  If you missed my last post showing this paper, check it our HERE as I have added a video!

Both the background and music piece are from this Designer Series paper.  Pressed Petals is so pretty, you can dress it up or leave it plain and add a simple sentiment.  I chose to dress it up. Doesn't this make for a great fall birthday?  Of course, it could be for just about any occasion; retirement, thinking of you, get well, and more. 

The background piece is cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 as I just wanted a slim boarder showing the Night of Navy card base.  Standard card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2.

The music sheet piece is cut 4-1/8 x 2.  

The picture does not do justice for the Gold Foil pieces.  The berry sprigs (in Gold Foil) and leaves (in Mossy Meadow) are from the Frosted Bouquet Dies.  And then I layered the Stitched Nested Label die in Gold Foil as well.  Helps make it stand out a little, don't you think?

My favorite accent used to dress up the card is the piece of Night of Navy ran through one of the dies from the Detailed Lace Dies.  I just adore that die, but all three are pretty great with lots of detail.
