Sale-A-Bration Dandy Designs Paper

01/19/2023

Welcome!

Sale-a-Bration is such a great time to earn something for free and the Dandy Designs 12x12 Designer Series Series paper is one of my favorites this time around!

Below is a sample made by my fellow Demonstrator, Leigh Amburgey. We participated in a small shoe box swap and this was Leigh's design.

The Dandy Designs paper has great colors! Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Petal Pink, Pale Papaya, and Soft Succulent. That's a lot of coordinating colors, isn't it.

She used Thick Basic White for a card base, then a layer of Soft Succulent measuring 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

The 3 (three) pieces of Dandy Designs DSP are: 1-1/4 x 5-1/8... 2-1/2 x 1-3/4... and 2-1/2 x 3-1/4

The flower and stem is from the Two-Tone Flora Bundle from the Jan-April Mini Catalog. Along with the Something Fancy Bundle for words. Actually, these two stamp sets are available in a collection called Fancy Flora Suite Collection. Both stamp sets have coordinating dies, ribbon, gems and some fabulous glimmer paper!

Making a Quick Decorative Background

04/07/2022

Want to make a quick decorative background? Have you seen the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks (#158142) in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.

These masks are awesome but be sure to sign up for my blog notifications so you can see why they are called "layering" masks. You won't want to miss that. (Update: new post LINK)

For this project, I dressed up the background by using my Blending Brushes and rubbing Crumb Cake Ink over the mask. Notice the subtle light and dark areas. You can control how much ink you spread with the brushes.

The best part about this easy card is that you can use any stamp and die bundle. I have put a couple of suggestions below.

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - 3-D Christmas Gifts

12/01/2021

Hello... and welcome to our monthly Blog Hop! I have been so excited for this month as we are doing a 3-D project (anything other than a regular card). Not only do I love making cards, but I enjoy general crafting too; and actually, that is how I stumbled into Stampin' Up! Someone I craft with, invited me to a Stampin' Up! party.

So I am very excited to share my Christmas Gift 3-D project with you. And it does not hurt that I used my favorite product suite, Whimsy & Wonder! I'm sad that it will be retiring soon.

Be sure to check out the RETIRING LIST just released today! Also, items have been added to the CLEARANCE RACK!

Any ways, without further delay, here is my project! It's a 12 x 12 Shadow Box Frame.

- The background is a 12 x 12" piece of Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (unfortunately, now sold out... sorry. I know, I'm sad too).

- There are 6 pieces of 3-1/4 x 3-1/4" pieces of Polished Pink Card stock and one (1) piece at 3-1/4 x 10-1/4.

- There are 6 pieces of Whimsy & Wonder DSP 3-1/8 x 3-1/8" and one (1) at 3-1/8 x 10-1/8. I used all different patterns.

top row:
- 1st square: tree & words stamps done in Mint Macaron on Basic White CS. Silver Tree accent die cut from Silver Foil
- 2nd square: tree die cut Mint Macaron CS, Silver Foil for tree deco die and bulbs stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic white, die cut and colored with Blends. Rhinestone for accent.
- 3rd square: Tree dies... I cut 3 of each size from DSP and Silver Foil.
middle:
- Blushing Bride ribbon (sold out). Two 4" pieces. Skinny tree stamped in Mint Macaron on Basic White CS and die cut, then adorned with rhinestones
- MERRY CHRISTMAS die cut with Playful Alphabet Dies using Polished Pink CS
bottom row:
- 1st square: Blushing Bride CS behind tree die cut with Scalloped Contour Dies. Tree stamped in Mint Macaron on Basic White CS. Tree detail die cut on Silver Foil
- 2nd square: adhered a Wonder Snowflake (so pretty with them being iridescent)
- 3rd square: used Stitched Rectangle dies to cut Blushing Bride and Basic White CS. Stamped words in Mint Macaron

I adhered most of the decorative trees, labels, words with Dimensionals and also added Basic Rhinestones where I felt they would fit. I hope you like this project as much as I do!

Next let's buzzzz on over to see what Dana Davis has in store for everyone. Don't forget you can buzzzz on back to see Linda Bauwin's design!
