Hey Y'all!
Life is good! Busy, chaotic, but good....my Saleabraton Saturday series has turned into just a Saleabraton Series. I am just getting a chance to share these cards made with the Dainty Flowers DSP.
This first card was made at a card class with a 4 x 5-1/4 panel of the DSP, but we altered it. Let's see if you can see the difference. Here is the panel unaltered.
And here is a close up.
No, that's not the lighting! We used a blending brush and Pool Party ink to change the white back ground. And do you see the bee and butterfly? The bee was stamped in Memento directly onto the DSP, then colored with a Stampin' Blend and some Wink of Stella. We also stamped the sentiment directly onto the DSP. I love the Brushed Brass Butterflies (say that 3 times fast!) so we added one of those. Then layered it onto a piece of 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 panel of Basic Black, wrapped a length of the new Pool Party Grosgrain ribbon (also altered by cutting in 1/2) and tied a bow, then attached that to a Pool Party cardbase.
I saw this style of card on a video from another company, just one of those ads that pops up in your feed. Then lo and behold, one of my demo friends was making one on her live video last week! I don't know what the official name is, but I'm calling it a Lattice card. I knew it would be perfect to look like a vine growing up a fence or lattice.
To create this style card, start with a top folding cardbase, 4-1/4 x 11 scored at 5-1/2. Remove 3" from the cardfront, then cut that piece into 1/2 inch strips, you will have 6. Attach a piece of Post-It Tape® with the sticky side up to center of the cardfront. Place 4 of the 1/2" strips across the tape, then open up the card, and adhere the last two strips to the edges. Remove the tape and embellish as desired. I added a panel of DSP layered onto a panel of Starry Sky, then fussy cut a pattern from the DSP to go on the "trellis." Did I mention this paper coordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle? And do you recognize that little bee again? He is so stinkin' cute! And he, and the sentiments used on these first 2 cards comes from another free set that I featured last week. You can see it here'
This last card may be my favorite. It reminds me of a quilt, and it shows off several patterns of the DSP. It's also a great way to use up some of those scraps floating around your desk!
Cut your DSP into 5/8 x 4-1/4 strips and layer onto your card front. I embossed a 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 piece of Starry Sky with the new Cane Weave embossing folder. I punched a piece of Basic White with the Handmade Tag punch, then used Starry Sky and Fresh Freesia ink for my stamping. The sentiment and image comes from the Hope and Prayer set. Some Starry Sky Baker's Twine and In-Color Matte Decorative Dots was the perfect finishing touch.
