Green Garden Razzleberry Birthday

And, here is the last of the three.  I was, again, browsing through some of my Stampin' Success demonstrator magazines and came across a layout for a card that I really liked.  I made a few changes and here is the finished card.

Stamp Sets:  Teeny Tiny Wishes, Itty Bitty Bits, Take It To Heart, Because I Care (retired); Ink:  Rich Razzleberry; Card Stock:  Garden Green, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Brights Designer Series Paper Rich Razzleberry, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper, Twitterpated Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Labels Collection Framelits Dies, Antique Brad

Wouldn't this make a great card for a guy?  Simple, sleek and very little frill.  You could also change the sentiment and use it for a Father's Day card or a thinking of you card.  It's fun to be able to use one card design for multiple occasions.

Until we meet again...

Wisteria Wonder Easter Dove

Here is another of the cards I made the other night.  It was the first time I'd used the new 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in Wisteria Wonder.  It comes in all the new In Colors.  This is a very simple card and when I was thinking of adding embellishments, I realized that in it's simplicity, it says so much.  The ribbon and the little Jewels Basic Pearl were just right.

Stamp Set:  Easter Dove; Ink:  Wisteria Wonder; Card Stock:  Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Labels Framelits Dies, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, 3/8" Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon, Jewels Basic Pearls, stencil for ribbon

As you can see in the photo, the card front is the window to frame the sentiment.  The sentiment is stamped on a cutout using one of the Labels Collections Framelits Dies.  I think friends and family are going to get this one for their Easter cards this year.

Framelits Dies

One of the new products featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Framelits Dies.  They are available in two collections; Hearts Collection and Labels Collection.  These Framelits are thin dies that allow you to see where to place the design before you cut.  So, you can stamp an image and know just where to place the die to get the perfect cut.  You can use a single die or layer them inside each other to create different sizes of frames.

The Labels Collection includes six dies and the approximate sizes (at the widest part) for the labels are:  2-15/16", 2-5/8", 3-1/4", 4", 4-11/16" and 5-7/16".  It coordinates with the Apothecary Art Stamp Set found on page 24 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.

The Hearts Collection includes six dies and the approximate sizes (at the widest part) are:  13/16", 1-5/8", 2-1/2", 3-3/8", 4-3/16" and 5-1/4".  It coordinates with the Take It To Heart Stamp Set found on page 14 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Just think of all the things you'll be able to do with them.  Perfectly place them on photos and stamped designs to see where the die will cut.  No more guessing.

Embossed Easter Dove

Last night I was playing with the Labels Collection Framelits Dies just to see what different combinations I could come up with.  I made three different cards that I will share with you over the next few days.  None of them took a lot of time to make and a couple of them will be perfect for Make & Takes at future events I have scheduled.

Stamp Set:  Easter Dove; Ink:  None used; Card Stock:  Basic Black, Naturals White, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  Labels Collection Framelits Dies, VersaMark, Black Emboss Powder, Dazzling Details, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, heavy duty aluminum foil

This card was definitely a if I do this, what will it look like.  I took a piece of Naturals White and glued the foil to it, then ran it through the Big Shot using one of the Labels Collections Dies.  Because of the foil, the picture did not turn out very well and you can't see the Dazzling Details I used to frame the foil label.  I think I'll remake this one but without foil.  I like the simple design but I think it would look better without the foil.
