One Sheet Wonder - Delicate Dahlias Sale-a-Bration Set

Our 2nd Sale-a-Bration (SAB) is under way and there are so many great things, especially with the July-August Mini (holiday) catalog releasing as well. 

Here is a One Sheet Wonder I made with the SAB stamp set called "Delicate Dahlias".  It is a 2-Step stamp set meaning, the is an outline and filler stamp.  Of course, I had to make them in my favorite color purple or in this case, Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Fressia.  

So I randomly stamped a full sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 Basic White Card Stock.  Below in my supply list you can see the colors I used or you can watch my video.  (Well, I will tell you I used several colors... Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sea Foam, and Soft Succulent).  

Let's take a look at how the sheet looked before I cut is up. 

Delicate Dahlias Background

Cutting your stamped background:

  • cut at 4-1/4" on the 8-1/2" side ending with two long strips that are 4-1/2 x 11"
  • turn and cut those two long strips at 5-1/2" (that will be the 11" side)
  • you will now have 4 pieces of quarter sheet card stock (or 4 pieces at 4-1/4 x 5-1/2")

Next:

  • trim 2 pieces above to 4 x 5-1/4" (see below cards 5 & 6)
  • cut 1 of the quarter sheets in half on the 5-1/2" side (end up with 2 pieces at 2-3/4 x 4-1/4).  See cards 3 & 4
  • cut last quarter sheet in half at 2-1/8 on the short side (end up with 2 pieces 2-1/8 x 5-1/4).  See cards 1 & 2
  • Using Contour Dies, die cut six labels in Gorgeous Grape an six small ones in Basic Basic
  • All card bases are Gorgeous Grape so you will need 3 sheets of card stock cut in half at 5-1/5 on the 11" side

Cards 1 & 2:

Background of Fresh Freesia card stock cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 and embossed with the New Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.  I added some Brushed Metallic Dots to both cards and some Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon and White 3/8 Glittered Organdy Ribbon.  Labels are popped with Dimensionals. 

Cards 3 & 4:

PicsArt_08-08-05.07.48

I put a mat of Fresh Freesia behind stamped dahlias that is 3 x 4-1/2 for each card.  You will need two pieces of the Gold 6x6 Metallic Specialty Paper cut to 4 x 5-1/4".  Add Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon around Fresh Freesia, tie a knot then add to card with Dimensionals.  Add labels with adhesive on top and Dimensionals on the bottom.  Because it hands off the dahlia piece, you want the label to be flush.  

Cards 5 & 6:

These are easy peasy!  Adhere your 4 x 5-1/4 stamped pieces to card base.  Add some ribbon if you would like (I used a piece of the new Gold Shimmer Ribbon left over from another project).  Add labels with adhesive or Dimensionals.  Two quick and easy cards.

SAVI Sunday 57 - Double Masking

This weeks Savi Sunday VIDEO shows you two easy masking cards, but it is really my 2nd card project below that is the main focus - Double Masking. 

I want to show you what it looks like when you stamp an image, and directly apply ink right over that image.  Its pretty in itself, but wait to you see the Double Masked card. 

PicsArt_05-09-06.05.09

Both cards feature the Elegantly Said Stamp Set, available in a product suite called Simply Elegant

The above card is done in Fresh Freesia and below is Soft Succulent.  

My 2nd project below, notice how the floral image looks like it is sitting on top of the sponged mask background.  But I actually sponged the background First!

My Mystery Stamping Results!

Welcome!  This is my SAVI Sunday 56:  Mystery Stamping Results.  

What is Mystery Stamping?  It is when someone gives you all the cut dimensions for all your card stock and designer series paper that you will need to make a card.  Also, any punches and stamps, ink and accessories that you should include. 

You can watch my SAVI Sunday 56 Video HERE to see how this card came together. 

I feature the NEW Hand-Penned Suite (#155503) that is releasing on May 4, 2021 with the New 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

I chose Highland Heather and Soft Sea Foam Card stock and ink colors.

So here are the instructions that I received and had to prepare for our Live Zoom Team Meeting and Mystery stamping:

Tip: the colors you choose should all coordinate and work well together
 
1. Cut ONE - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 ANY color cardstock
 
2. Cut ONE - 4 X 5 1/4 - Any Color cardstock that coordinates with the one above 
 
3. Cut TWO pieces 3 3/4 x 1 1/8 Designer Series Paper ( to coordinate)
 
4. Cut ONE - 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 piece of cs same color as #1 above^ 
 
5. Score this piece on one of the short ends at 4 1/8"
 
6. Cut ONE- 4 x 2 1/4” basic white cardstock
 
7. Punch ONE oval, from basic white cs with the Double Oval Punch or a piece of basic white cut at 1” x 2” to stamp your greeting on.
 
8. ONE Stamp (bold or outline image) that will fit in the 4 x 2 1/4 basic white piece above (#6) ^
 
9. ONE sentiment that will fit into a 1x 2" long space in #7 above^
 
10. ONE Black Stamp Pad
 
11. Any other ink you will need for the image that you chose in #8 above ^. If you choose an outline image that needs to be colored, then add markers, blends or any coloring tools you desire. If you chose a bold stamp image, then choose a coordinating ink pad color.
 
12. ONE embellishment 
 
13. Dimensionals
 
14. Adhesive such as Stampin Seal or Multi Purpose glue. 
 
 Here are some tips
 
*Choose your Stamp image that will fit in #6, first. 
  • Decide what stamp pads you will need and or markers/blends if you chose an outline image. Decide on ink pad color if image is bold
  • Choose a sentiment that will fit in a 1 x 2 long space. You will be stamping the sentiment in black.
  • Choose DSP and Card Stock that will coordinate with your focal point.
  • Don’t stress over this! Its a super fun activity and we will all have a different take on the finished product.
  • Get ready to learn a creative way to connect and be inspired!
Here is how my card card turned out during our Live Zoom Team meeting!  I used the New In Colors of Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent.

Check Out This Fun Background

SAVI Sunday 55:  Watercolor Background fun featuring a favorite stamp set, Forever Fern!

I can't tell you how excited I am that the Forever Fern stamp set will be carried over into the 2021-2022 Annual catalog (coming May 4, 2021).  This truly has been a must have an most used stamp set for me.  I just reverting back to it so I am sure this won't be the last project you'll see from using using something for the set. 

So, two of my favorite things combined into one project... purple (Gorgeous Grape) and Forever Fern stamp set!

  • 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 Basic White CS layer
  • 4 x 5-1/4 Shimmer White for watercolor and stamping
    • note that I started with a quarter sheet of Shimmer white then cut down
  • After dry, stamp images with Black Memento ink (I tried adding some Mossy Meadow berries, but to be honest, my stamp pad needed re-inked so I only added two of those)
    • leaves, spots and words all from Forever Fern stamp set

I hope you liked this project.  It is fun to create... a little messy but definitely fun!

Let's take a look at my card:

PicsArt_03-21-02.17.53

I love a black-n-white design but I think adding just a splash of color adds so much to it.  

Card Details:

  • Basic Black card stock base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored and folded at 4-1/4"
  • True Love DSP cut 4 x 5-1/4"
  • Die cut a square of the DSP any where you would like (just leave a bit for a boarder)
  • Color image with Blends
  • Take next larger square die and cut a piece of Basic Black CS
  • Adhere colored DSP square to above piece of black cardstock
  • Adhere square with Dimensionals
  • Die cut words from Well Written Dies (Make sure to use our Adhesive Sheets!)
  • Adhere to basic white, fussy dies around words & adhere to card front
  • Don't forget some Rhinestones for some bling

I told you this was an easy spotlight card.  Don't you agree?  And the True Love Designer Series Paper is just fantastic for this.  

Don't forget, you can add as much, as little or No color at all and still end up with a beautiful card.
