Bird Banter meets Petal Passion birthday

I made this birthday card for a co-worker.  It features the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper 145589 along with the Bird Banter stamp set 145852.  I cut a whisper white cardstock layer and a Petal Passion DSP layer at 5 1/4 x 4.  I then used the layering circle framelits to cut a circle in both layers at the same time.  I then used the white cardstock layer over the top of another whisper white layer to sponge soft sky ink into the circle.  I stamped the leaf branch onto the soft sky circle and then adhered my DSP layer over the whisper white layer.  I then cut a scalloped circle slightly bigger from a layer of lemon lime twist cardstock and then cut a circle one size down into the center to make the scalloped circle outline and adhered it on top of the DSP.

I stamped the cockatiel bird from the Bird Banter stamp set onto shimmery white cardstock 101910.  I then colored my bird with an aqua painter using lemon lime twist 144086 and bermuda bay 131171 inks.  The finishing touch for this card is a strip of 1/4" organza ribbon 145590 with a strip of the lemon lime twist ombre ribbon 144234.  I stamped the sentiment on whisper white using bermuda bay ink and cut it out with a framelit from the Petals and More framelits 145655.  This is popped up on some mini stampin dimensionals 144108.  My card base is a standard A2 whisper white card base.

Painted with Love narrow notecard set

Today’s project features four note cards I made to go inside the You Warm My Heart note card box I blogged about last week.  All cards start with the Whisper White Narrow note cards & envelopes (145583).  You get 20 cards and envelopes in a package and they are made from the thick Whisper White cardstock. 

This first card features the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (145580).  Each sheet of this paper has gold foiling on one side and a printed pattern without foiling on the reverse.  I used the Sure Do Love You stamp set (145766) and coordinating framelits Lots to Love Box framelits (145653), bundle pricing (145966).  When you purchase the bundle and the narrow note cards, you will have spent enough to qualify for a free Sale-a-Bration item such as Party Pandas (147221). {Offer available through March 31, 2018 only}

The second card utilizes the same Sure Do Love You Stamp set as well as a coordinating stamp set called Heart Happiness.  (145769).  I used the Petal Passion DSP on this card as well.  The gold hearts are from the Painted Love Gold Vinyl stickers (145586).   The gold embossed dots are from a stamp included with Petal Palette (145788).

The next card again uses the Petal Passion DSP and the Petal Palette stamp set (birds).  There is only one bird in the stamp set, but a stamped a mirror image to have the birds looking at each other.  The heart is from Heart Happiness.  I added a stamped image from the same set by inking up three of the small hearts and stamping them inside the main heart image.  A final touch is the retired washi tape from the 2017 holiday catalog. 

The final card uses the same watercolor technique as the heart from the box last week.  This time I inked the stamp with Marina Mist, Island Indigo and Dapper Denim markers and spritzed with water.  I wanted this card to have a very masculine feel to it.  The heart is mounted on a stamped label from Labels to Love punched with the Everyday Label punch.  The gold intricate piece behind is from the Petals and More thinlets dies (145655) which I also used to die cut the birds in the card above.  You an purchase the Petal Palette stamp set and the Petals and More thinlets as a bundle (145974) and save $10.  These items can be found on page 23 of the 2018 Occasions catalog.  You Warm My Heart sentiment comes from Lovely Wishes stamp set (145924).

You Warm My Heart narrow note card box

My project today is a box created with the Lots to Love Box framelits (145653) and the Sure Do Love You stamp set (145763) which can also be purchased as a bundle (145966) to save 10%.  The box is made from Powder Pink cardstock.  My next step was to stamp my heart as it needs time to dry.  I started with the heart image from Sure Do Love You.  I inked it up with Stampin’ Write markers in Sweet Sugarplum, Berry Burst and Rich Razzleberry working from lightest to darkest.  I then gently spritzed the stamp with water and quickly stamped it on a piece of watercolor paper.  After it dried, I die cut it with the coordinating framelits Lots to Love Box.  I then added a layer of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (145589) to the box top.  The sentiment is stamped on Powder Pink cardstock in Rich Razzleberry with a stamp from Lovely Wishes (145924).  The shape was stamped using Labels to Love (144967) and the Everyday Label Punch (144668).  The gold strip behind is actually a sticker from Painted Love Gold vinyl stickers (145586).  You get four sheets of stickers (2 each of 2 designs.). They are gorgeous and add elegance to any project.

This box was designed to hold the new Whisper White narrow note cards and Envelopes which are part of the Painted with Love suite.  The finished size of the box is 4 7/8" x 3 5/8" and will hold four note cards and envelopes (145583).  It can also be used to hold treats or small gifts.

You’re Inspiring Labels to Love

My card for this week features a holiday favorite which has been carried over. It’s called Labels to Love (144967 clear mount) and has a coordinating Everyday Label Punch (144668).  The sentiment comes from a new stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog called You’re Inspiring (145808).  It can be found on page 31 and is very versatile with uses for Mother’s Day, Easter, birthdays and thinking of you cards.  Be sure to check it out.  My card base is Powder Pink with a layer of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (DSP) (145589).  The flower images are from a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Amazing You (147215) only available with a $50 purchase through March 31, 2018.  I used my Stampin' Blends to color the flowers, then fussy cut them out.  If you haven't tried the Stampin' Blends markers, they are fantastic.  They are Stampin' Up!'s new alcohol markers released in November 2017.  They are so easy to color with and blend beautifully.  Even a novice like me, can color beautifully with them.
