Five O'Clock Somewhere

Today I have a citrusy card for you featuring these wonderful stamps from DRS Designs.

I decided to do white detailed embossing with my focal images.

The background was created by using the Citrus  slice (D851) stamp repeatedly on bright yellow card stock.

I stamped the sentiment "It's five O'clock Somewhere (728D) with white craft ink on yellow card stock and then embossed it with white detail embossing powder.

I did the same with the Drink line up (173G) stamp.

I added a triple ribbon and some white brads.

There you have it: A fun easy peasy card to make!

White on white Sweet Stamps Challenge

This week our challenge at the Sweet Stamps Blog is White on White.

I have wanted to do a white on white card for awhile.

As many ideas popped into my head I wanted to do both dry and wet embossing for this challenge.

I thought I would emboss pearl upon ivory (the other white) cardstock to make it pop.

I chose a birthday sentiment: Wondrous Things (9066E) and the Oval Lace frame (8018H) from Sweet Stamps. I stamped each with white dye ink and then embossed with Pearl embossing powder.

I cut out each, but popped up the sentiment with pop dots. I dry embossed white cardstock with the Daisy Flourish folder (EF3042) and rounded the corners.

I added a white silk bow with a brad. There you have it.

Victorine Originals Summertime Challenge

Our challenge at Victorine Originals is "Summertime."

For today's card I chose this adorable stamp The Kiddy pool (2720).

I paper pieced the pool with BoBunny Barefoot & Bliss DP.

I colored the rest of the image with the copics pictured below:

I cut out the focal image with an oval nestie and layered it unto Island Indigo cardstock.

Then I airbrushed the background.

I cut out a crab with a MS punch and added a sunburst. Island Indigo ribbon and some bling complete the card.

Check out our blog and join us for a chance to win at Victorine Originals.

In the Tub

 

Today I have this hilarious stamp from Art Impressions: Girlfriends In the Tub.

I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo black ink on Xpress It card stock.

I paper pieced most of my focal image.

However, as you can see from the picture below I did use a few copics.

After coloring and paper piecing I cut out my image and popped it up

 on some dp called Beach Babes by Fancy pants.

I added some bling and there you have it!

I am entering this card into the Anything Goes Challenge at Art Impressions.

Double Embossing Tutorial

 

Today I have a tutorial for you on Double Embossing. If you look closely at the bottom of my card you will see that I have embossed the bottom half using two Label 4 nesties to create an embossed focal point.

I also paper pieced the dress forms. You can check out my last tutorial on Paper Piecing!

1. Using the big shot, open to Tab 1 on the platform.

 

2. Lay down a plate.

 

3. Next place a piece of chipboard or cardboard.

 

4. Place your No Shims Embossing mat over the chipboard.
5. The next layer is your cardstock. I used a heavy weight cardstock.

6. Place your die or dies (cutting side down). Yes, I said down. It will not cut through your paper because of the No Shims Embossing Mat.

7. Place the second plate over the dies and run through your Big Shot. Picture above shows the results.

8. I stamped my sentiment and layered it unto red cardstock, cut with the Label 4 nestie. I also added some bling.

9. Paper pieced the dress form from The Touch of Elegance Stamp set, using Kaisercraft Shaken Not Stirred dp.

10. Added a bit of lace and narrow silk ribbon.

Above is the finished product!

I stamped the background with the Four Corner Sports  (734G) stamp.

Sweet Stamps Bling Challenge

 Our challenge this week at the Sweet Stamps Blog is Bling!!!

So join in the fun and show us your bling!

For my card today I have used these fabulous daisy stamps from the Jackie Hill Botanicals collection.

I love the way this card turned out!

First I started with the Daisy Frame (3019) and colored in the daisies with the copics pictured below:

 

Next I  cut out some single daisies from the

 daisy duo stamp set and  colored those and popped them up in the lower and upper right hand corners.

I cut out a frame with the Cheery Lynn Japanese Lace die and added the flourish from that die to the right hand side.

Under the sentiment Have a Nice Daisy (3024D)I added three rows of bronze rhinestones for my  bling!
