Elegant Place Cards–Shades of Spring

I made these place cards for my Aunt’s 50th Birthday party. I wanted them to be elegant and fun, but not too formal. Shades of Spring DSP made a perfect backdrop for the place cards, cut to 3 1/2″ x 2″. The Basic Black card stock was cut to just under 3 3/4″ x 4 1/2″. Then, I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the 3 3/4″ side and folded it in half as shown.

Next, I adhered the Shades of Spring DSP to the black card stock with SNAIL adhesive. The ribbon is Certainly Celery 5/8″ Satin Ribbon, which I tied around the inside of the place card and knotted in the front.

The names and table numbers were printed on the computer, punched out with the Large Oval Punch and layered on Basic Black card stock I punched out with the Scalloped Oval Punch. That was then attached to the front with a Stampin Dimensional.

Happiness Always Beautiful Wings Butterfly Card

Remember Cottage Wall DSP? I forgot how much I liked it until I pulled it out last night and made this card. I also used another favorite thing of mine–the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

The card base is Rich Razzleberry Textured card stock, cut to 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, folded in half for a 4 1/4″ square card. I layered Cottage Wall DSP on Whisper White card stock and wrapped a piece of Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon around the front.

Next, I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and the Big Shot to die cut these cute little butterflies in Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White card stock. I layered them with Mini Glue Dots and attached them to the card. This pattern of DSP actually matches the smallest butterfly from the Sizzlet perfectly!

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment from Whimsical Words (Sale-a-Bration set free with $50 purchase) in Old Olive ink on Whisper White card stock. Then, I punched that out with the Large Oval Punch and layered it onto Rich Razzleberry punched out with the Scalloped Oval Punch. That’s attached to the card base with Stampin Dimensionals.

Something Sweet Gumball Machine for Boys

When I play with a stamp set, I like to make a few cards at once. It gives me a chance to try out different ideas, all of which won’t work on just one card. Yesterday I made gumballs with Circle Rhinestone Brads. Today, I used Rain Dots in these bright gumball colors.

The card base is Tempting Turquoise, layered with Tall Tales Designer Series Paper. The gumball machine from Something Sweet was stamped in Apricot Appeal Ink on Whisper White card stock. I trimmed the bottom part with scissors and the top circle was punched with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch. I added the adhesive backed Rain Dots to the circle portion and set them aside.

Before adhering the DSP to the base with Stampin Dimensionals, I punched a hole in the DSP with the 1 3/4 Circle Punch. I added a Sweet Treats Cup and removed the adhesive ring. Then, I put the circle with the Rain Dots behind the Sweet Treats Cup so that the edges of the circle touch the adhesive ring. This helps hold the circle in place. The bottom of the gumball machine was then adhered with Stampin Dimensionals.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from Something Sweet in Real Red ink on Whisper White, punching it out with the Large Oval Punch and layering it onto a Real Red Scallop Oval Punch. That was attached to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.
