Another Look at Wood Words

Hi Stampers,

Have you seen the sweet crates you can create with the Wood Words bundle?  They're a great way to give a little treat to someone special.  But it's not just for crates - this set makes beautiful cards, too!

The one on the left uses Bermuda Bay, Basic Black & Whisper White with just a touch of Peekaboo Peach for good measure.  The one on the right is created from Daffodil Delight, Basic Black & Whisper White.

I think this is my fave.  These colors have such a fresh, summery feeling to them.  The background was created with the Hardwood stamp on Whisper White.  I stamped the floral pattern diagonally & colored in some of the flowers with a Daffodil Delight marker.  The rooster die-cut is included with the Wood Crate Framelits (part of the Wood Words bundle - save 10%).  The design on the Daffodil Delight stitched ribbon reminds me of chicken scratchings!  I used some Glitter Enamel Dots on this one, too.

Both versions of this card use an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I made several of these cards, and on some I added an extra scalloped oval for another pop of color.  The scalloped oval is found in the Layering Ovals Framelits.  As you can see, the sizes from both sets of Framelits work together or alone!  On this card I added a strip of 5/8" burlap ribbon.  The coloring on the spray of flowers was done with a Peekaboo Peach marker.  You could also use a Blender Pen & Peekaboo Peach inkpad to get this look.

The oval is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The banner is attached directly to the oval on the right end with Snail adhesive.  The left end is attached with one Dimensional so it matches the height of the oval.  Hopefully you can see what I mean in the photo!  "Hello Friend" is embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on a 1/2" strip of Basic Black cardstock and the ends of the banner are flagged with the Triple Banner Punch.  If you're good with your paper snips you probably don't need the punch for a small banner like this.  Enamel shapes from the Brights collection add even more color.

I'm in love with the floral spray that is part of Wood Words.  It makes great backgrounds, but it also looks beautiful on its own!

Here are links to the list of products I used to create these cards.  Thank you for your support with your purchase!

The Wait is Over!

Hi Friends,

I hope you've enjoyed these projects I've posted the past few weeks using the Daisy Delight Bundle.

The long-awaited Daisy Punch is finally available!  They are back in stock today.  By now you've probably seen dozens of beautiful projects created by demonstrators who had early access to this beautiful new stamp set & punch before they sold out.  This bundle has been so popular with demonstrators that they were sold out even before the new catalog went online!  I'm predicting that this shipment will go fast, so if you've been waiting to get your hands on this set, don't delay - order today!

Happy stamping,

Pat

Daisies from the Farmers Market

Hi, Friends!

I am having so much fun playing with the new In-Colors!  I love experimenting with different combinations to see what works.  One of my favorites is Powder Pink paired with Smoky Slate.

So soft and lovely!  Smoky Slate is one of my favorite neutral colors - everything looks good with it.  It's the "little black dress" of cardstock!   I used 2 of my favorite new bundles on this project - Wood Words and Daisy Delight.

"Thank You" & "Farmer's Market" are stamped in Basic Gray.  The daisy stems are stamped in Old Olive and the smaller flower stems are stamped in Pear Pizzazz.  The small daisies are a 2-step stamp:  the solid background is stamped in Powder Pink and the outline stamp is done in Flirty Flamingo.  The large daisy is stamped in Powder Pink and the center is Flirty Flamingo.

I stamped the stems first, placing them so they would look as if they are tucked inside the crate.  The crate is made with the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack and die-cut using the Wood Crate Framelits, which are included in the Wood Words Bundle.  The center daisy is stamped on the card front; the other 2 are stamped once to show placement for the fussy-cut images.

See how the small daisies on the left & right are popped up?  I love adding dimension to cards this way.  The petals on the large flower were rolled around a pencil to shape them and a Dimensional behind the center pops it up too.  Five rhinestone jewels add sparkle!

The large daisy is actually 2 punched daisies layered on each other and attached in the center with a drop of liquid glue.

I liked this design so much, I decided to try it with bolder colors too.  Here I've used Berry Burst, Crushed Curry and Dapper Denim.  

Two of the smaller daisies are popped up with Dimensionals on this card, too.  Glitter Enamel Dots in coordinating colors add sparkle!
