Basket Weave - Summer Cards - Part 1 of 3

I recently hosted a Summer Cards class that focused on three techniques.  The attendees loved making the cards, so I wanted to share all the details here as well.  Enjoy and check back in the next couple of days when I share the other two cards.

Steps:

1.    Stamp chair frame in Crumb Cake, chair in Berry Burst, and sentiment in Archival Basic Black ink on Whisper White square.

2.    Using Basket Weave Template – attach to Berry Burst cardbase with paper clips.

3.    Snip on lines including cutting out bottom V.

4.    Fold Vs down and tuck under. 

5.    Attach cutout V and glue to top.

6.    Use snail to adhere DSP to front, Whisper White piece inside, and stamped image to Basic Black square.

7.    Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop stamped image & Basic Black square.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - July 2017

Welcome to our fabulous A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!  Every month I receive a surprise card/project kit from Stampin' Up!, and the July kit is Positively Picturesque.  I think it is one of my most favorite Paper Pumpkin kits I have ever received!

I decided to go with the theme of Christmas in July.  The colors and mountain wood piece were perfect to use for this them. 

Details for the card: 

• Note card from kit.
• Stamped in Soft Sky the starburst (from the kit) that to me also looked like a snowflake. 
• The Layering Circles Framelits were used to cut out from the envelope a white scalloped piece and a green patterned circle.
• The Star of Light stamp set sentiment was stamped on the Soft Sky card base in Tranquil Tide.  It was then punched out with the Pretty Label punch.
• The inside sentiment is also from the Star of Light stamp 

Details for the project:

 

• The Soft Sky card bases were used for the scalloped circle, circle, and front hills.
• After the circle was cutout with the framelits it was then run through with the Softly Falling Textured folder.
• Some Whisper White craft ink was sponged on the mountain wood piece.
• Wink of Stella was added to the mountain wood piece and the hills.
• The mountain wood piece is popped from the background with lots & lots of Stampin' Dimensionals.
• In the kit the front hills are Lemon Lime Twist, so I used the negative from the kit and it out of the Soft Sky card base.

•  The Star of Light stamp set sentiment was stamped on the Soft Sky card base hills in Tranquil Tide.

I hope you enjoyed my card and project.  Thanks for visiting!  Your next hop in the blog is Cathy!

ICS Blog Hop Introducing the 2017-2019 In Colors

Woo Hoo it's the first Wednesday of the month you know what that means RIGHT? ICS Blog hop time! Our theme this month of July is all about the new 2017-2019 in colors!  I also wanted to showcase some of the brand new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog items!  Enjoy the hop and feel free to leave us some love in the form of a comment, we love hearing from you!

I needed some cards to give as a gift of encouragement, so I created a set in all the new in colors.  The card base is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4").  The Fresh Florals DSP (4 x 5 1/4") coordinates with the card base.  I used one of the great sentiments out of the Ribbon of Courage stamp set.  It was punched out with the Pretty Label Punch, matted on coordinating cardstock with an oval from Stitched Shapes Framelits (which is in this new annual catalog!).  I thought the 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon was the perfect touch to finish off the cards.

I hope you enjoyed my card!  The next stop in our blog hop is Deb!
