Cottage Wall Card

Wow. This paper is gorgeous! It’s Cottage Wall DSP, and the patterns and colors are really something. I’m not normally a purple person but this stuff may convert me!

Card base is new In Color Rich Razzleberry textured card stock. I cut two pieces of DSP 4″ x 2 3/4″ and overlapped them slightly in the middle. Then, using Old Olive 5/8″ grosgrain layered with a 1/4″ strip of the Cottage Wall DSP, I tied it around and adhered to the back of the DSP.

To adhere the 1/4″ strip of paper to ribbon, just apply some SNAIL and fold the edges around back.

Butterflies are from Great Friend, stamped in Rich Razzleberry and Pale Plum, using the Rock and Roll Technique. Then, I used my Martha Stewart fine tip glue pen and added Dazzling Diamonds. Lastly, I trimmed them and adhered them to the card using dimensionals.

Sentiment is from Chit Chat Rub Ons, applied onto Pale Plum card stock punched out with the Modern Label Punch. For more sparkle and bling, I added Circle Rhinestone Brads, trimming off the backs with my Craft & Rubber Scissors, and adhering it to the base with dimensionals.

Sunny Day

I made these 10 invitations using the Simply Scrappin Sunny Day Kit. It’s a really fun combination of bright colors including: Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive. In addition, I used my So Tweet chipboard owls, which coordinate perfectly. (As does Good Friend and Cheep Talk.)

All card bases are textured card stock, and the DSP comes in 4 patterns: (a) Blue Circles/Stripes and (b) Orange Hearts/Multi sunbursts. Stickers from the Simply Scrappin kit were used to decorate, along with a few stamps. You’re Invited, Crazy for Cupcakes (balloons) and Introducing (for the inside). “The Look Whoo’s Turning Three” banner was printed from Word in Joyful Juliana font.

Other items used were dimensionals, rhinestone brads, In Color polka dot ribbon, white gel pen, Rain Dots, Silver cord, Googly Eyes, Glue Dots, Paper Piercer, and Modern Label Punch.

The birdhouse card came from the Catalog (page 164).

Things I Love

This is a strange card. I was thinking about who I would give this card to, and the most logical recipient would be my husband, based on the sentiment. But, at the same time, what man is going to want and/or appreciate a card with shoes, chocolate, shopping, and pink sparkly things????

Now you see my dilemma? Oh well, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, but for now, I’ll explain what I used to make this card.

Base is my FAVORITE Striped Kraft from Taste of Textiles, which is no longer available. And I only have 1 1/2 sheets left!!!! But I can’t obsess over that now. Stamp set is new, Things I Love. I stamped the images in Black Stazon, Black Marker, Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip & Soft Suede markers. I used Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Basic Black card stock. I punched out the images with a 7/8″ square punch (non-SU), and mounted them on 1″ squares of Melon Mambo. That was then adhered to a black tag made using the Tag Punch. At the top of the tags, I used my Cropadile to punch a hole and added Square Fire Rhinestone Brads. I would have used the large ones but I was down to my last few small ones. The tags are adhered with a dimensional.

The paper piercer added some definition to the Melon Mambo layered behind Whisper White “things I love…”, which is mounted on dimensionals.
