Hearts and Butterflies Wedding card

Posted on July 15, 2014 by Genevieve Valdes

I created this card for Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge.  I recently purchased the Fancy Foild Designer paper which is so pretty.  Just perfect for a wedding card.  I used the vellum paper with silver hearts and silver glimmer paper.  I added a few die cut butterflies and hearts and VOILA! a beautiful wedding card.

Easter Egg Wreath Card

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a color challenge.  I’m still in Easter card mode so I created this Easter Wreath card.  The eggs are die cut with the Extra Large Oval punch and the images are from the Everybunny stamp set and colored with a blender pen and ink pads.  The solid color eggs are textured with embossing folders and decorated with butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.  I also die cut the flowers with Trio and Boho punches.

Chocolate Easter Bunny Card

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have an Easter Inspiration Challenge.  I love the Chocolate Bunny image from My Digital Studio.  I printed him out in Early Espresso and with my Versamark pen I shaded in some of the areas then heat embossed with Iridescent Embossing Powder.  I then layered him over the Enchantment DSP and Soft Suede CS.  I used the Edgelit Dies, Adorning Accents embossing folders and coordinating stamp set Bordering on Romance on the Soft Suede and Calypso Coral.  For the bow on my bunny I used white Baker’s Twine that I dyed with Poppy Parade.

I also punched some of the flowers using the Blossom punch, Five Petal Flower punch, Boho punch and Punch Pack.  The flowers are embellished with pearls and butterflies die cut with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.   I also used the Pinking Hearts border punch underneath the sentiment.

Hand Stamped Sentiments – Anything but a card – Garden Party

Posted on June 22, 2010 by Genevieve Valdes

Another sunny week and I’ve been a bit under the weather.  To cheer me up I thought I would play with My Digital Studio and the Summertime Splendor designer series printed backgrounds.  Since this week’s challenge for Hand Stamped Sentiments is – Anything but a Card – I thought this would also be a perfect time to make some favor/gift boxes using the Summertime Splendor digital backgrounds with My Digital Studio.    I also used my Beautiful Wings Embosslits die for the butterflies and some ribbon.  If you want extra embellishments you can also add a border like I did on the yellow and black & white boxes.  The box templates are also from My Digital Studio and can be purchased for a $1.95.  Plus you also get two printed patterns.   These boxes are perfect for any summer party, shower, birthday or wedding.  Remember you can purchase the templates and use them without owning the My Digital Studio Software.  You can use any of the templates and images in any program where you can import images.  I really tried in the photos to show the vivid colors of summer but these are the best of all the photos I took.  Tomorrow I will post the cards I made using the Summertime Splendor DSP digital backgrounds.

White on White – Big Shot card

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Genevieve Valdes

I was inspired by Sandi Maciver to create this white on white card.  It’s all created with the Big Shot.  No Stamping .  I recently showed this card at my workshop to show the versatility of the Big Shot.  This would be a great card for a wedding, communion, confirmation or just because.  So easy!

Project info:

Finished size: 4.25″ x 4.25″

I started by die cutting two of the SCALLOP SQUARE BIGZ CLEAR DIE (Idea Book & Catalog page 199)

I taped them together with double stick tape down the left side.

Next I die cut the larger of the scallop circles from the  SCALLOP CIRCLE #2 die (Idea Book & Catalog page 199)

I embossed the SCALLOP CIRCLE with the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Details Swirly Texturz Plate  (Idea Book & Catalog page 195)

I embossed the SCALLOP SQUARES with the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder (item #117335)

Then I used the BEAUTIFUL WINGS EMBOSSLITS DIE (item # 118138) and adhered the butterflies with mini glue dots

I then finished my card with 1/2 pearls from my Pretties kit, and some White Organza Ribbon.

So easy!
