Side Panel Layouts 3 Ways

On our May digital play date with Tracy & Jane, we picked a layout and applied 3 different applications with the same color choices - I love how these turned out and bonus: quick & simple cards with a wow effect!

~Enjoy!

---

First up, a shout out to my favorite designer from whom this card was CASEd from Pinterest: Tammy Wilson. She makes the most beautiful cards! For this sample she used Label me bold. Tracy was the only one to have this stamp set, so the rest of us improvised.

We also picked a color challenge of Pretty Peacock, Rich Razzleberry and Mango Melody. For this first card, I used some diamond stamps from my stash (Grunge Rock would work for this too) and gave it a light spritzing with water to blur the pattern a little more. I mounted the stamped strip on Rich Razzleberry card stock and then on Whisper White that was embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays on Basic Black cardstock and VersaMark and heat embossed it with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I trimmed the sentiment in Whisper White to give it the negative affect of the original card. I also added a little Silver Glimmer Paper, because, duh, birthday cards need a little pizzazz! I finished the whole thing off with some Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and just a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

For this card I used the dots from the Timeless Textures Stamp Set and it is mounted on pretty Peacock and Whisper White that was embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder (I love this one!) The sentiment is form my stash with all of the same steps as above.

Lastly, one of my favorite quick & easy backgrounds is the swish! To make the background, I dragged each color across a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Hold the ink pad so that only the top edge hits the paper then quickly drag the pad across the paper back & forth in a diagonal. The trick here is not to press too hard, take a running start at your paper and do it really fast. For this one I used the the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder and a little Whisper White Bakers Twine as my finishing touch.

See a Silhouette DSP Hexagons

A bonus Tracy day today, we started off with the Tracy See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper since we are trying our best to make sure to use the truckload that we bought!

~Enjoy!

---

We have been making an attempt to CASE the catalog for ideas, so we found this card on page 132 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I was not happy with the irregular cuts of the hexagons, so I decided to go grab my retired Hexagon Punch and cute the hexagons out of the paper & then I could create a uniform mat with white cardstock. The problem with this was that the punch was slightly bigger than the paper I had already cut out & white borders off, but as the pieces were lying on the table I noticed that some of them were upside down & I could not tell the difference between the trimmed white one & the back, so I grabbed some fresh sheets & cut a bunch of random ones. Trying to conserve some of the paper & not just go for the middle of a 12x12 piece of paper, I found it hard to find the deep green options, so this one turned out with the pinks instead, hence the change in background color to Crushed Curry. 

The background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder & the edges scruffed & sponged with Soft Suede. I layered a piece of Vellum over the hexagon border to give a little more definition the the flower sprig cut with White Glimmer Paper and the Well Written Dies. The Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon was colored with a Crumb Cake Blends Marker to soften the bright marigold. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso using the Waterfront Stamp Set and punched out with the retired Tiny Tags Punch (I love this punch it is soooo cute!). The envelope is stamped with Crushed Curry & the For All Things Stamp Set.

Winter Woods Paper Pumpkin Alternative Large Snowflake

This is the first one I made with the Winter Woods October 2019 Paper Pumpkin using the envelope as background paper.

~Enjoy!

---

I embossed the large snowflakes with Versamark and White Embossing Powder. The sentiment is stamped in Pool Party and Early Espresso and run through my embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder. A few rhinestones add a little bling and the whole thing is topped off with a bow made from the Whisper White Flax Ribbon. I love this wood paper - it is so rich & looks beautiful when embossed with white!

Winter Woods Paper Pumpkin Alternative Snow Trick

The woodgrain paper that came inside of the Winter Woods October 2019 Paper Pumpkin envelopes is so rich and pretty & looks amazing when embossing with white.

~Enjoy!

---

After I stamped the overall snow stamp with Versamark and White Embossing Powder, I wanted a little lighter coverage of snow so I went back over it with a Q-tip & strategically removed some of the dots before heat embossing. The banner is cut from Pool Party & stamped with Pool Party & the overall snowy stamp with hand cut fishtails & an edge that has been roughed up with scissors. The sentiment banner was cut into thirds & layered behind the snowy banner. The Sentiment is stamped with Early Espresso over a pool Party snowflake on Whisper White and then embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. It was then edged with the silver edge from the envelopes and topped with one of the cute little cardinals. The whole things is them topped off with the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon.

Winter Woods Paper Pumpkin Alternative Christmas Trees

I was having a really hard time seeing the Christmas tree card base with the birch tree cutouts in the Winter Woods October 2019 Paper Pumpkin. Her is what I came up with which is very simple, but I think elegant.

~Enjoy!

---

I trimmed down the background and ran it through my embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder to give it a oil painting effect. This was trimmed out with the silver edging from the leftover envelopes I had cut apart for the woodgrain projects. It is topped with the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon and then layered on Whisper White card base. I then added a double layer of hand cut snow with one of the layers popped up and a sentiment stamped in Memento Black Ink. I roughed up the top layer of the snow with my scissor edge. A few rhinestones in the night sky give the illusion of a starry night. 

For a little added bling, I got out my trusty friend, Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter and adhered it with a little Shimmery Crystal Effects, look at the sparkle!

Bone Appetit Boxes as Backgrounds

I was looking for some additional ways to use the "background papers" for the Bone Appetit Paper Pumpkin September 2019 kit.

~Enjoy!

---

I decided since they had a white core to emboss them & scruff them up with a sanding block to soften the very bright & shiny orange metallic. From Left, I used the Subtle Embossing Folder, Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder and the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. For the bottom 2 under the skeleton, I scruffed them up with the point of my scissors. They turned out super cute & cannot wait to see what gets created with them!

#simplestamping with Sweetly Swirled

I am always excited when Tracy & I get together to have a crafting play date. And a bonus this time, we got to craft together on my birthday! This time Tracy is still in Washington and I have a permanent residence in North Carolina, so we get on the phone & with a little digital technology and a Private Pinterest board, we get to spend the day together crafting. These days are always so much fun, I love catching up with my dear friend & crafting the day away! The first thing we did today was gather all of the stamp sets that we both owned but we have not used together before, we had quite a few to choose from!

~Enjoy!

---

We like to start the day with a #simplestamping challenge to get the juices flowing. Today we started with the Sweetly Swirled Stamp set and a color challenge of Crushed Curry, Shaded Spruce and Crumb Cake. I like the simplicity of this card, clean & simple for sure!

I am a super fast crafter, so while Tracy was finishing up her first card, I was playing around with an all over background stamped piece. I had started with one version & then I saw where it was going and started over since this was #simplestamping & I could not add a layer for my sentiment. So I stamped my sentiment first, then layered it with removable tape & them stamped my random pattern right over the sentiment. When I pulled up the tape I had nice clean lines for my sentiment and partial stamped images!

Now, I am never one to leave #simplestamping card just as is, but I really liked the simplicity of this card, so I just added a few touches. I embossed the whole background with the Subtle Embossing Folder & then roughed up the edges of the card with my scissors. I added a bow from the Linen Thread & a few small rhinestones colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blends Marker.

For the allover background card, I trimmed it in half and used it in a smaller quantity. I added a Crumb Cake background embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder, then my layered stamped piece. I had a retired Decorative Label punch in my scraps, so I added that and topped it off with a Whisper White Bakers Twine bow that I colored with the Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake and hand trimmed fishtail ribbon. It needed a pop of bling, s I played with the new Ice Stampin' Glitter for the flower centers which I adhered with Shimmery Crystal Effects. Make sure to pop on over & see what Tracy has done with her cards!

Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Banner

Here is another alternative for the September 2019 Paper Pumpkin: Gift of Fall using the envelope flaps as background paper.

~Enjoy!

---

I layered 3 envelope flaps on Whisper White & used that as the background for this card. I then layered that over a Garden Green strip and Whisper White card base. The banner is made from an envelope & embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The circle was embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder & then lightly sanded to have the white core show through.  The additional little sprigs are cut from the Flourish Dies. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede and then roughed up with a scissor edge to add a little texture. 

The ribbon is colored with Crumb Cake Blends Marker which dulled the bright yellow ribbon down to a more suitable color and I added a little Gold Glimmer Paper and a few gold sequins to add a little bling.

Digital Retreat August #4 - Very Versailles - #simplestamping

I am not quite sure what exactly happened with the third card of the Very Versailles / #simplestamping project, or should I say the third and fourth cards. This time we worked on the leaves going across. Maybe it was because we did not have an inspiration for this one, we were just winging it, but I did not like my first attempt at #simplestamping so I made a quick second version which I liked much better. Tracy actually went through 4 versions!

~Enjoy!

---

This time we used Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Black on Very Vanilla. Here is attempt number one for me. It did not look too bad until I dropped the lid of my Memento Black onto the left edge of the card, so an addition of the baroque stamp came in to play & that is when things really fell off the rails. I added an additional baroque frame to the top left to balance the imagery and then wondered what it would look like to frame the sentiment, well, here is what that looks like.

So I started over again with a little less going on in the bottom right corner and it was feeling better balanced for me. Check out how Tracy's #simplestamping version!

I decided to tackle the horrible version first and threw caution to the wind and just started piling stuff on without a second thought. It was already ruined, how could it get any worse, right? I started off by grunging it up by roughing up the edges with a scissor edge and adding sponged Crumb Cake around the edges. I embossed a piece of vellum with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and added a little Crumb Cake to it too.

I had some Glimmer paper from the retired Myths & Magic set and cut a small border to lay behind the Braided Linen Thread and to give it a little sparkle. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and it is finished off with 2 leaves from the Bird Ballad Trinkets. Overall a vast improvement and now I love the card. If I changed anything it would be to find a better suited glimmer paper, but I searched through my stash and found nothing better. 

The last card of the day came together fairly quickly, since I decided to grunge the version above, I wanted to leave this version clean and classy. The background was embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The Gold Glimmer Paper really helped this card along and it almost has a Christmas feel to it now. I incorporated a die cut from the Flourish Dies set and used the leftover scrap of vellum from the above card and it is finished with the Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon. Check out how Tracy did her card!

Digital Retreat August #3 - Very Versailles - #simplestamping

For the second card of the Very Versailles / #simplestamping project, we worked on the leaves creeping up. This card was inspired by this card. We loved the dark colors with the delicate background. One small problem, this was a #simplestamping project first and foremost, so we have to really eliminate some items.

~Enjoy!

---

We kept the balance of colors by choosing Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Basic Gray all stamped on Whisper White. This one is pretty much CASEd from the background of the inspiration card. and that is where we left it. I think it is very pretty for a #simplestamping card, but I just cannot leave well enough alone!

For the stepped up version, I first embossed the background with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Then I added the vellum leaves as Melissa did, but they just did not stand out enough for me so I decided to go with Silver Glimmer Paper and the Flourish Dies to get something more delicate and not very heavy. We added clear embossing to the background circle with the baroque frame from the set. It is topped off with a hand cut banner & the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set. I added some Silver Metallic Thread and topped it off with a Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon knot. The finishing touch is a few sequins from a retired sequin pack in what I think is Sweet Sugarplum. Make sure to check out Tracy's card over at Stuff n Thingz!

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin Alternative Meets Very Versailles

The medallions from the July 2019 On My Mind Paper Pumpkin really had a regal feel to me as well as the Very Versailles Stamp Set, so I decided the 2 should meet!

~Enjoy!

---

Once again I used this layout for some inspiration. The Early Espresso background is embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder. The medallions were stamped with Soft Suede on Crumb Cake. The focal element used the Very Versailles Stamp Set words and leaves stamped in Soft Suede on the Kraft card base included in the kit. The dies are cut from Crumb Cake & Gold Glimmer Paper cut with the Flourish Dies and sponged with Soft Suede. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock and Soft Suede using Very Versailles Stamp Set and run though my embossing machine with the Subtle Embossing Folder. A little strip of DSP from the envelope liner adds the right balance. The envelope had a little splatter made with Pretty Peacock and the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Sailboats

Whatever do you do with all of the leftovers from the The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019? Make sailboats!

~Enjoy!

---

I had a ton of little leftover bits after using the back of the envelope flap for my sentiments and once I started playing with the shapes, some sailboats appeared, perfect fit for the theme of this kit! The background is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. The "sea" is cut from one of the card fronts provided wit the kit layered over a piece of Whisper White. The boat hulls are hand cut from Old Olive & Coastal Cabana. The Sentiment is stamped with Old Olive and a stamp from my stash on a envelope flap cut down. I then added a bow made from the Silver & Whisper White Baker's Twine. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set. So cute!

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternative Beach

The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 had so many great options for alternatives, the die cuts were really inspiring!

~Enjoy!

---

The background was embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder and Whisper White and layered on a card base of Whisper White. I cut apart 2 of the Old Olive Envelopes and placed them side by side to make use of the cute "wood-grain" background. I cut a wavy piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to mimic a sand dune and sponged it lightly by pouncing a sponge on the cardstock with some Soft Suede to give a sandy effect. I did the same thing for the sentiment only with Old Olive. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede and a stamp from my stash. The whole thing is topped off with a double bow made from Linen Thread from the kit. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Paper Pumpkin A Little Smile Alternate Grunge

The A Little Smile Paper Pumpkin kit from June 2019 was really cute. I just happened to have a last minute cruise set up for December, so these little rays of sunshine worked out well for thank you cards for the staff!

~Enjoy!

---

The background was embossed with the Seaside Textures Embossing Folder and Whisper White and that is layered on a card base of Whisper White for added dimension. I embossed some Crumb Cake with the Subtle Embossing Folder and inked the edges with some Soft Suede and a sponge and also roughed up the edges with a kitchen knife. I inked up one of the medallions with Soft Suede also. The sentiment is stamped with Coastal Cabana and has the bottom bordered in some Wink of Stella. I also sponged some Coastal Cabana ink on the backs of 2 of the fronds. The whole thing is topped off with a double bow made from Linen Thread from the kit and some Sequins from the Heirloom Textures Sequins pack. The envelope is decorated with the Waterfront Stamp Set.

Spring Retreat - All Adorned

Her are some more ideas from my last retreat day. I borrowed my friend Shannon's All Adorned Stamp Set since I was traveling. It make some really spectacular cards!

~Enjoy!

---

This one I started with a CASEd card from Pinterest. I switched out the colors for Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. The sentiment is from Hello Cupcake. I used the retired Decorative Label Punch and the Bitty Butterfly Punch. The Ribbon is from the Sale-a-Bration Ribbon pack and the butterfly is topped off with some rhinestones. The navy background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I just love how this came out!

I loved it so much in fact, I created a second one in red! This one uses the same elements but in Merry Merlot, Memento Black, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla. I used the Everyday Label Punch for the sentiment & it is topped off with the ribbon from my stash. I colored the butterfly's rhinestones with the Cherry Cobbler Blends Marker & then darkened it with the Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker. The sentiment is from Firefly.

This last one was switched up a bit using a single line of medallions. The colors are Bermuda Bay, Memento Black, Sahara Sand and Pool Party. The background is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. Happy Birthday is cut from Well Written Dies. A piece of vellum anchors the sentiment and the copper and white Baker's Twine is from Layer Leaves Paper Pumpkin. The butterfly's rhinestones are colored with Bronze Stampin' Blends Markers. It is oh so pretty!

The Gently Falling Paper Pumpkin leaves were extraordinary! This card focuses on the delicate leaf details.

Some Mini Gold Sequin Trim and a double Linen Thread bow top it off. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede and a "thank you" form my stash. Here is pinspiration for this one.
