Forever & Always Window Sheet Wedding Card

Posted on June 5, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

On June 1st the NEW Stampin’ Up! catalog was launched!!  So many beautiful stamps, colors, accessories and ideas!  My card for today was inspired by one of the beautiful cards found in the catalog.  Since this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a color challenge -Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Neutral I was inspired by a card made with clear window sheets.  Using window sheets adds so much punch to cards.  Any element on the window sheet looks like it’s floating.

I cut the window sheet 5″ x 10″ then scored in the middle.  I also used the square scallop die to die cut the scallop layer.  I used one of the images from Apothecary Art and colored the image with Stampin’ Up! marker, Daffodil Delight and die cut using the Framelits die.  The sentiment from Loving Thoughts was stamped in Basic Gray on the Daffodil Delight polka dot DSP printed from My Digital Studio.  The cute flowers were punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and Boho Punch.  The centers for the flower are the 3/16″ Daffodil Delight brads.  To neatly adhere the layers and flowers to the window sheet I used mini glue dots.

Valentine Easel Shaker Card

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Genevieve Valdes

This week’s challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments is a technique challenge – Shaker Cards!  I’ve never made this type of card but since I have the Stampin’ Up! Heart Framelits it was easy to make using two different sizes of heart dies to make the red heart frame for the window.  For the easel base I used the large scallop heart framelit.  The cute stamped image is from the Take it to Heart stamp set featured in the new occasions mini.  Can you guess how I created the background?  I used the Lots of Love Letterpress plate.  The letter press embosses and can also ink at the same time.  For a more subtle background you don’t have to ink it up.  The shaker heart is filled with the scrap small hearts after using the Pinking Hearts border punch.  A bit of mica flakes is also mixed with the small hearts to add  some additional sparkle.
