friends! I'm happy to be here today with a fun Mother’s Day project using the new To
Mom with Love stamp/die set as the focal point and then traditional Mother’s
Day accents: flowers and chocolate!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mother’s Day is just a few short months away and I find that it’s always
good to ensure that YOUR mom or mother-in-law is taken care of long before the
actual day so you don’t have to endure stress on YOUR special day (if you’re a
mom). Mother’s Day can be tricky for some and for those of you who struggle on
that day, please know you’re in my mind and in my heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That being said, this card design transcends
beyond Mother’s Day; simply switch out the large focal sentiment for a birthday
or thinking of you sentiment, whatever your needs may be.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnLlfdT-bXj4M6JtwTQ2NdtGBH67K8xOY5XcgTxCpX_RnFlvqoRwKdACxSh0-ChYNlavqeG789EdCP1O417bFgEdbkZzihqkqQvR65IqrdP_HOlsehTDo7Zp9GtzSjY0cg1ctEG5vEzJMVr0-rCyfzQ0pvzcR7rqgZn1bZdJIuk8GcUc1mVYEQS3dOoQ/s5120/IMG_9500.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHnLlfdT-bXj4M6JtwTQ2NdtGBH67K8xOY5XcgTxCpX_RnFlvqoRwKdACxSh0-ChYNlavqeG789EdCP1O417bFgEdbkZzihqkqQvR65IqrdP_HOlsehTDo7Zp9GtzSjY0cg1ctEG5vEzJMVr0-rCyfzQ0pvzcR7rqgZn1bZdJIuk8GcUc1mVYEQS3dOoQ/w640-h640/IMG_9500.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">To begin, I die cut
quite a few flowers and greenery using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fslt ">Winter Medley Die</a> and then colored
them with distress oxide inks. I used a foam mat and the smaller end of my
stylus to give the flowers shape and then glued them to the greenery. I added a
black dot to the center of each flower using a fine-tip Sharpie marker. I gave
them a spritz of Shimmer Spray and set them aside to work on the chocolates.</span><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKJ9Ucbp6j4g0Z6OGCWAL8_fFihaTrEnfEbJ8g7f9vgPN2V3cxk9wFt_6IMbowfka4xTjfDdl16YPgRCLOFj-JzKpM6UmB3IICAMzDRQCVErgnEubQHcb7QQwnl_NIXP7HbSjq2pPOVEok2yB7mQtpkkLOl4cYTd0P_O4mi-cXfdrvElCyZ-1HhAwuSo/s5120/IMG_9499.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKJ9Ucbp6j4g0Z6OGCWAL8_fFihaTrEnfEbJ8g7f9vgPN2V3cxk9wFt_6IMbowfka4xTjfDdl16YPgRCLOFj-JzKpM6UmB3IICAMzDRQCVErgnEubQHcb7QQwnl_NIXP7HbSjq2pPOVEok2yB7mQtpkkLOl4cYTd0P_O4mi-cXfdrvElCyZ-1HhAwuSo/w640-h640/IMG_9499.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I used the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fslu">Curio Confections Die</a> and cut out all of the pieces and then just had fun coloring
them. I die cut the paper liners from vellum and then added the chocolates
using foam squares for dimension. I added some <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fslx">Strawberry Bits</a> and some <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fslz ">Flower Bits</a> to the chocolates for added detail. I simply glued them to the top of the
chocolates using liquid glue. I find that a gem picker comes in handy to add
embellishments like this.</span><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE8b8YiqkvLJH4NwjYqDrJpHvsXzWGvQMUGSYmHT6E1bJytz4JTSP0RnPH9qBAf4BYbH4zMaFfXC8KP1FgFzm2RTKac4oKz8zLQzVOJ-rqx_u_Ci-r0QHFVHwoRZilH91-1lC_VbcdnYjzB7I80tnPhjDuPBBDEbLHxXB68WX0gc1oYmkB-usAuDnBC50/s5120/IMG_9501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE8b8YiqkvLJH4NwjYqDrJpHvsXzWGvQMUGSYmHT6E1bJytz4JTSP0RnPH9qBAf4BYbH4zMaFfXC8KP1FgFzm2RTKac4oKz8zLQzVOJ-rqx_u_Ci-r0QHFVHwoRZilH91-1lC_VbcdnYjzB7I80tnPhjDuPBBDEbLHxXB68WX0gc1oYmkB-usAuDnBC50/w640-h640/IMG_9501.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Once the flowers and
chocolates were finished, I got to work on the background. I used the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/4fsm3">Curio Divider & Details II die</a> for both the outer frame and the liners die cut
from pattern paper. This particular pattern paper is from a 12 by 12 pad from
Recollections called Floral Fantasy. I didn’t notice when I chose it that the
tiny detail of the pattern is a crown, just perfect for Mom! I die cut the
divider portion three times from Kraft cardstock and then glued it together
using liquid glue. I added some brown shades of distress oxide ink near the
joint of each section. I layered it onto an A2 panel of white cardstock using
additional liquid glue and then secured each of the liners using a tape runner.</span><p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqM6ivlTEzgGPMqh2meNdwcVnWkNT882QClfw18ODBZuH3ixOOeE8K3RRDVF2IUc4I6eUZmpEJf9uDUKF6NX07M6GMg1kHuKboyMe-B5w_BHOhK94UD2BbQ1-KtULCYo8x2aGoLblFDnwdIikeJLtHO2ErKY99jVAcuVbscReA2mCbNgX8qikbLmn8waU/s5120/IMG_9503.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqM6ivlTEzgGPMqh2meNdwcVnWkNT882QClfw18ODBZuH3ixOOeE8K3RRDVF2IUc4I6eUZmpEJf9uDUKF6NX07M6GMg1kHuKboyMe-B5w_BHOhK94UD2BbQ1-KtULCYo8x2aGoLblFDnwdIikeJLtHO2ErKY99jVAcuVbscReA2mCbNgX8qikbLmn8waU/w640-h640/IMG_9503.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Once that was done, I
just had fun adding all of the chocolates! I heat embossed the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4gfbt">sentiment</a> in
gold onto white cardstock and then using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4gfbv">To Mom With Love Die</a> to cut it
out. I layered it over the chocolates using foam squares. Once that was done, I
added the different clusters of flowers here and there until I was satisfied
with the arrangement. I gave the chocolates and flowers a generous sprinkling
of glitter and then mounted the entire panel onto a top-folding A2 white card
base using liquid glue! This card was a joy to create and I’m so glad that my
Mom’s card is taken care of this early! No procrastination for this girl! Ha

We've ushered in a new month and that means spring is on its way! It's my turn for this week's <a href="https://shrsl.com/45nba">Papertrey Ink</a> Flash Sale and I chose something festive and fitting for the upcoming spring season with some St. Patrick's Day touches! I chose to use the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fya4">Tuck It Sentiments stamp set</a> and the coordinating <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fya7">Tuck It Die</a> paired with the ever-so-sweet <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fyab">Into the Blooms: Clover die</a>.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhurtjACtsh4Kw0n6R2nV3fL2EUTK3HzJTpehP4hgxZkkgChNI-FUFjA3_bFdCKflEEsQLEjLOiFYZKR6Whh5VuGzsGT5KohCkFngX5M-uQGjTrT3kfigxeHwhwFtLEbGHefN2gbFXeySqdjicAaGOViixthdATJ1HxcNkU-ouSHygrbVJfomiPGAbBDTY/s2560/IMG_9592.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhurtjACtsh4Kw0n6R2nV3fL2EUTK3HzJTpehP4hgxZkkgChNI-FUFjA3_bFdCKflEEsQLEjLOiFYZKR6Whh5VuGzsGT5KohCkFngX5M-uQGjTrT3kfigxeHwhwFtLEbGHefN2gbFXeySqdjicAaGOViixthdATJ1HxcNkU-ouSHygrbVJfomiPGAbBDTY/w640-h640/IMG_9592.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The inspiration for today's card actually came from the Shamrock food truck that was parked at the gas station as I was getting gas today! ha ha!

I die cut the largest oval included in the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fio9 ">Love to Layer: Ovals die</a> collection. I stamped the cute dotted detail and the hello sentiment before I die cut the slits. The <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fya7 ">Tuck It Die</a> has the large bar pieces to keep both sides connected (they are not meant to be snipped) and if you die cut first, it will leave those impressions and can possibly impede the stamping process and you may not get even coverage with the ink.

To begin, I used the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4fqv1">Airmail Border Stencil</a> with Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery ink from Stampin' Up! I set the two panels aside and then die cut all of the lilac pieces I would need for the two cards. I colored the blooms using milled lavender, shaded lilac, and dusty concord distress oxide ink. The leaves are colored using twisted citron, mowed lawn, and rustic wilderness distress oxide inks. I used a fine-tip black Sharpie marker to add dots to the flower centers. Not the ones on the large, main piece, but rather just the individual blossoms.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWN54ige97Hbar_W4R68QSz7LO_KxZ6zeEQzUg0usPrIOsKAaOvG5K-yHYaRkzYYDWD1cD2fcSrcPgGp1xIv7hMM9l-TLoIcSE2BgRpYdvR8TQMjPMpN8po2nweoeaVnpLga2S96EpknCIDAYAd02t_m2k3SgZWju1Oqjw4a42OSW82CwrCcp9lEsGlg/s5120/IMG_9438.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWN54ige97Hbar_W4R68QSz7LO_KxZ6zeEQzUg0usPrIOsKAaOvG5K-yHYaRkzYYDWD1cD2fcSrcPgGp1xIv7hMM9l-TLoIcSE2BgRpYdvR8TQMjPMpN8po2nweoeaVnpLga2S96EpknCIDAYAd02t_m2k3SgZWju1Oqjw4a42OSW82CwrCcp9lEsGlg/w640-h640/IMG_9438.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> I used the smallest tip of my stylus and a foam mat to curve each of the individual blossoms and then added them to the main cluster using liquid glue and a gem picker for ease.

I stamped the sentiment in black, but you could do this before you add the pierced detail; it's up to you!

I'm sharing a pair of wedding/shower cards using some older favorites.
My daughter’s best friend is getting married this spring and so she’ll be
attending many events to celebrate both the bride and the couple! I used
inspiration from the bridal shower invitation for the colors and theme! This
particular shower’s theme is “Love is in Bloom” so one of the cards uses the
sentiment that fits that theme the best: Love grows here!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4LYgKprP5nzPiqLuDE3RmM1Jp9k_Kle7Kvlt4nbzuRoU-0qsaUmA7uQLveqE4L3OTYrEJYpGToQ_J_DbXIo_wnwz-DKyYAe90W5WG8zx3qnGjcrphI-ufux7MdZ8XTYQuIROSNAtRlesw9r0PwIzAXgDlueeQmKeNCmDkNN_cjTmCeqifMpehW9GYVS8/s5120/IMG_8763.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4LYgKprP5nzPiqLuDE3RmM1Jp9k_Kle7Kvlt4nbzuRoU-0qsaUmA7uQLveqE4L3OTYrEJYpGToQ_J_DbXIo_wnwz-DKyYAe90W5WG8zx3qnGjcrphI-ufux7MdZ8XTYQuIROSNAtRlesw9r0PwIzAXgDlueeQmKeNCmDkNN_cjTmCeqifMpehW9GYVS8/w640-h640/IMG_8763.JPG" width="640" /></a>I photographed both cards on top of the invitation so you
can see how well the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4eebj">Lovely Silhouettes Stamp</a>/<a href="https://shrsl.com/4eebm">die set</a> works to coordinate with
the theme! To begin, I die cut all of the pieces twice (you never know where a
design will take you, so I always like to have options at my fingertips) and
then stamped them using Distress Oxide inks and finger daubers for control.
Because these are silhouette stamps, there aren’t different steps to separate
the blooms from the foliage, so I chose to do it this way to add more color.
Hopefully that makes sense!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzNjahbeCfrg-mi9TySPo_djSx-EUJiykxkpdqeHWkQdgFfQblI2XbZutaiOAr0ft-tSZ6uFv5uDsw12bNn1HUDCv9FjGHr6cbp_zSM6Oqb2RDJ_JZbASFHx8iPYx6Q2hyphenhyphenn7UlNhZ1Rm1qGPW3HP_v83I52c-r_baJhjZYcU95us_DGq3iMdL7Asg41h0/s5120/IMG_8764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzNjahbeCfrg-mi9TySPo_djSx-EUJiykxkpdqeHWkQdgFfQblI2XbZutaiOAr0ft-tSZ6uFv5uDsw12bNn1HUDCv9FjGHr6cbp_zSM6Oqb2RDJ_JZbASFHx8iPYx6Q2hyphenhyphenn7UlNhZ1Rm1qGPW3HP_v83I52c-r_baJhjZYcU95us_DGq3iMdL7Asg41h0/w640-h640/IMG_8764.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once that was done, I got to work on the backgrounds for
each of the two cards. I used the beautiful <a href="https://shrsl.com/4eebs ">Elegant Arch Stamp</a> that was
released at the same time as the Lovely Silhouettes stamp set, so they are a
perfect choice to use together! I took that particular release off, so I have
tried to use each of the products because they are so beautiful. I chose to
use white pigment ink on the darker background and then tone-on-tone ink for
the lighter of the two. I love how you can get such starkly different results
by changing up the ink color.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqccP7UYdPWbP62725Pp4VSXTsrpuIpVRrWbU0NrkBqI6fNW8UJYlRKBea9MS7KKApBlXVf-9Jire03THGnbcwdNu5LYn6qgOJep3kI_ZupV4DAw4zAQev4PgAga6iceN3mvsPWt_jY8ebd1Y52dBHQwpf-Hs2NbG-zjx7ZM9knwkiiaMXAiIFU4JYHz0/s4608/IMG_8762.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="4608" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqccP7UYdPWbP62725Pp4VSXTsrpuIpVRrWbU0NrkBqI6fNW8UJYlRKBea9MS7KKApBlXVf-9Jire03THGnbcwdNu5LYn6qgOJep3kI_ZupV4DAw4zAQev4PgAga6iceN3mvsPWt_jY8ebd1Y52dBHQwpf-Hs2NbG-zjx7ZM9knwkiiaMXAiIFU4JYHz0/w640-h640/IMG_8762.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used the A2 Arches dies in two different sizes to create a
mat for the focal point. I simply used the lighter color on the darker card and
vice versa. I added a touch of Antique Linen ink around the edges of the white
arch for some added definition and detail. I layered them together using foam
squares and then had fun creating the different bouquets. Because I wanted to
use the “grows here” sentiment on the dark card, I chose to stamp it in black
on the bottom of the arch and then on the lighter card I stamped the accent
sentiment in black on the background.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4v7kNELzkv-e0_Qe-gkrmvURS80mnHZ_15JZGHZoVm69RKHE4CHntJKw3sm16DXjWuafiu555t4odhDErlOKvMCuk9cUzHar7PBvANNuCLB-HT2omW0paK96G6zU9hFLr3NYLpJZ340VEKY9IXNs70AKXJbCZ2lWj38mebY8stNEA3svSO3uofa-y4Y/s5120/IMG_8760.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4v7kNELzkv-e0_Qe-gkrmvURS80mnHZ_15JZGHZoVm69RKHE4CHntJKw3sm16DXjWuafiu555t4odhDErlOKvMCuk9cUzHar7PBvANNuCLB-HT2omW0paK96G6zU9hFLr3NYLpJZ340VEKY9IXNs70AKXJbCZ2lWj38mebY8stNEA3svSO3uofa-y4Y/w400-h400/IMG_8760.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgge_bzGO8yyu_DPUGgG3SwC5fz7exeIjeAMg7AuLHYF9oESFg8l9Xj_1WYGO0vkYvSDrz6ASaTtOHj3Jx8doUDnD9K17RlsOSF5tpnMSVbPWTBXacGTw8D81FdIF-I432g0ZspHiDlkmnlfSW49f2A82-PaVRM4nAXdpto1tQm_a3VzrpJNhby-I0ZdWc/s5120/IMG_8761.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgge_bzGO8yyu_DPUGgG3SwC5fz7exeIjeAMg7AuLHYF9oESFg8l9Xj_1WYGO0vkYvSDrz6ASaTtOHj3Jx8doUDnD9K17RlsOSF5tpnMSVbPWTBXacGTw8D81FdIF-I432g0ZspHiDlkmnlfSW49f2A82-PaVRM4nAXdpto1tQm_a3VzrpJNhby-I0ZdWc/w400-h400/IMG_8761.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The lighter card got some black ink splatter for added
detail and I left the darker card as is. Both panels are attached to white A2
card bases using liquid glue. I didn’t add any glitter or sequins, so I’m not

them a spritz of Shimmer Spray if I come to my senses! Ha ha!

My 4th grader has two teachers this year: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. He is my last child in elementary school so I was shamefully looking forward to only having one teacher to spoil, but that isn't the case, AND, it's not like I'm not used to making multiples of things, so it's been fine! ha ha! I've been having fun putting together their gifts for Valentine's Day, and wanted to make something to hold some chocolates and a lip-balm that is small and I don't want it to get lost with the rest of the items. Cue the amazing <a href="https://shrsl.com/3dkgm ">Happy Heart Box Dies</a> from Concord & 9th!

I used the new Typed Greetings die; this is one that I didn't get a chance to use on my release projects, but it was perfect for today's design. I die cut the pieces from Kraft cardstock and then used the same ink to darken the individual letters to spell hello.

I also used the new Pen Pal die, but I want to make note that the Inked Well stamp set comes with two sizes of fountain pens that you can stamp.

I stamped the "A note to say" sentiment, which is from the Scripted Sentiments stamp set, using the detail from the die as a guide. I also added all of the fun elements from the Postal Modern stamp set in the corners and at the bottom and top.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cuA58Nv3HkS8nX9TAzgayYs60j09ch_QKspav6oBhYinL4mk5cNDAMIVcYuGgXc1bgOLthRmnastCbE0BLZhESJQVP0ezOmMnmWBqahyphenhyphenWSnIV2cZ6EhGpJD2Oxlw0sF839Zwk6vHxoMKWcreLpjhWyIOzL9rnxcKenU7itA8AygKXPjbUB0nC6h0p-s/s5114/IMG_8363.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5114" data-original-width="5114" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2cuA58Nv3HkS8nX9TAzgayYs60j09ch_QKspav6oBhYinL4mk5cNDAMIVcYuGgXc1bgOLthRmnastCbE0BLZhESJQVP0ezOmMnmWBqahyphenhyphenWSnIV2cZ6EhGpJD2Oxlw0sF839Zwk6vHxoMKWcreLpjhWyIOzL9rnxcKenU7itA8AygKXPjbUB0nC6h0p-s/w640-h640/IMG_8363.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I'm obsessed with the cute new ink bottle; it is included in the Inked Well stamp set and comes in two sizes....this one is the larger size. You can see that another cluster of flowers made it's way onto this card as well. I die cut the "hello" word using the Scripted Sentiments die and then stamped it in black. I had fun putting the pen together; super quick and easy! I added some black ink splatter for details. The entire panel is added to a Smokey Shadow top folding A2 card base using foam squares.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1WZyVDpIN_3byXDs6-Q2DEVoQGxxS0xmNZXYR21ZbClECJqpZkwZRB2OeM57eY1EfGBiKoE3mUDkdJ8klktUnhLMv-dpfhUQpN6OouKOdhwX4TM_hGr0xwR4qXr-Cy21DzUyU2Qvc1_mYK54yrw_HMJ9djOdEW2B5ZlEP59baiywLza-3qJGV34wy2Ko/s5120/IMG_8369.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1WZyVDpIN_3byXDs6-Q2DEVoQGxxS0xmNZXYR21ZbClECJqpZkwZRB2OeM57eY1EfGBiKoE3mUDkdJ8klktUnhLMv-dpfhUQpN6OouKOdhwX4TM_hGr0xwR4qXr-Cy21DzUyU2Qvc1_mYK54yrw_HMJ9djOdEW2B5ZlEP59baiywLza-3qJGV34wy2Ko/w640-h640/IMG_8369.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">My second card for today features the adorable new Vintage Type stamp + cut combo. It is another easy-to-use die. I stamped the numbers and alphabet on a piece of white cardstock. I then added the typewriter over the top and lightly traced around it onto the white piece and then cut it inside the lines. I simple glued it over the top....easy peasy!</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GXEAbSDr230hD4gW-snhDRweXN0J3CM-Xu-QvdeU6tuh9KHWkr1wgToQhpwNuE4UF-JPw1ULThjSEujpPMGJw6E3vNroNXfWy92A2d4gTMu12TnqSoC-ZGwWiiaxomxwliEriiSJFugL2G8Hp7LR6eDOKmTSbNUkZ-qLZY4ifz8pIVi_km8X9tSwGcY/s5120/IMG_8370.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_GXEAbSDr230hD4gW-snhDRweXN0J3CM-Xu-QvdeU6tuh9KHWkr1wgToQhpwNuE4UF-JPw1ULThjSEujpPMGJw6E3vNroNXfWy92A2d4gTMu12TnqSoC-ZGwWiiaxomxwliEriiSJFugL2G8Hp7LR6eDOKmTSbNUkZ-qLZY4ifz8pIVi_km8X9tSwGcY/w640-h640/IMG_8370.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">There is a stamp for the cute details on either side of the typewriter and a die to give it added dimension if you'd like. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzIOu9h3tKFMTVVssAnSHXs7hI0VFCELealTCrLmr1xPzA55xgqu7FHce8v0VYUuL8dpXZ1JPlXyiyk1nHwJXN80fAtAWmhez3KnGFME4kTnCQDMg-5WjJBhIe7mgIhcCe6Ix0YPPZocecTHiFWHlfV2wMdABUNyliga43yInl7OcgYt00UqtAMAfj8bM/s5120/IMG_8371.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzIOu9h3tKFMTVVssAnSHXs7hI0VFCELealTCrLmr1xPzA55xgqu7FHce8v0VYUuL8dpXZ1JPlXyiyk1nHwJXN80fAtAWmhez3KnGFME4kTnCQDMg-5WjJBhIe7mgIhcCe6Ix0YPPZocecTHiFWHlfV2wMdABUNyliga43yInl7OcgYt00UqtAMAfj8bM/w640-h640/IMG_8371.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The die collection also comes with a die to cut out the paper so that you can slide it down inside the typewriter.

I used the coordinating die cuts to cut everything out. I layered each individual letter using foam squares for optimum dimension.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwRIDojKL01gQ34Abn_oR-i80e-8fgU4yuK6moQJr53UR9bNK2-n0pcschZRK0e8YcrVLdt1l3LZQQp8VdRkr9Zal-yY4YLAXVJIKmyev7OOKHvU3pFuO_OFtjCEIZARUXOVrvCwCXWnnDzwg0QjNKrKJR4jtj2uh1KbgsMNdaB0YJGQ-6Wa1jrboBLg/s4632/IMG_8356.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4632" data-original-width="4632" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwRIDojKL01gQ34Abn_oR-i80e-8fgU4yuK6moQJr53UR9bNK2-n0pcschZRK0e8YcrVLdt1l3LZQQp8VdRkr9Zal-yY4YLAXVJIKmyev7OOKHvU3pFuO_OFtjCEIZARUXOVrvCwCXWnnDzwg0QjNKrKJR4jtj2uh1KbgsMNdaB0YJGQ-6Wa1jrboBLg/w640-h640/IMG_8356.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I tucked more floral clusters here and there for added detail. I mentioned yesterday that the first thing I did to begin my projects was to create a bunch of leaves and floral clusters so that I would have them to use as I wanted. If I could give you one tip if you're going to be doing marathon crafting, is that having many details pre-made will make the assembly process so much quicker and enjoyable! You can play around with options and see what works and what doesn't! Well, this concludes today's post, but make sure you head to the other designers' blogs to see what they have come up with using these incredible new products and to leave a comment to be eligible to win one of the 2 gift certificates! Thanks for fluttering by!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://myloveforpaper.com/">Angelica</a><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.dkirbystamps.com/">Dana</a><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/">Dawn</a><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Kelly (you are here)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://soapboxcreations.blogspot.com/">Laurie</a><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://lilybeanpaperie.typepad.com/lilybeans_paperie/">Melissa</a><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.ablogcalledwanda.com/a-blog-called-wanda/"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Wanda</span></a><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Kelly Luncefordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098101473555852789noreply@blogger.com112tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732475448078145588.post-15528404497048507142024-01-17T05:00:00.001-07:002024-01-17T05:00:00.149-07:00The Greetery (Love Letters P.S.

I used the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4dqnm">Winter Medley Die</a> to die cut all of the pieces out of white cardstock (three times each) and then used Distress Oxide inks and finger daubers to color them. I used my foam mat and fine-tip stylus to give them realistic shape. I also used a fine-tip Sharpie pen to add a dot of black to the centers of each flower for dimension and detail.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVk_XFHoRKzZEjHnC7O4PRaOQkNicphXR3hxja7E8VwfdfyPandetmObuX7cnJRjfRcbtY9JuFnan0uzsNPF3da9tnmz3_rQ5KIYWMFDA8OjsfO5U7Eyz7MQHeJ8s_GIccb4qaw8N9XajMMble-WqtZ43oGzMRkCjaVDyxLNviNVgSJmuElReCc8qmwcM/s5120/IMG_8274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVk_XFHoRKzZEjHnC7O4PRaOQkNicphXR3hxja7E8VwfdfyPandetmObuX7cnJRjfRcbtY9JuFnan0uzsNPF3da9tnmz3_rQ5KIYWMFDA8OjsfO5U7Eyz7MQHeJ8s_GIccb4qaw8N9XajMMble-WqtZ43oGzMRkCjaVDyxLNviNVgSJmuElReCc8qmwcM/w640-h640/IMG_8274.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Once I had all of my floral clusters and leaves, I die cut all of the pieces from the Sent With Love die collection; so many fun bits and bobs! I used gold cardstock for the scissors, stamp handle, sealing wax, and the nib of the fountain pen and lid detail. I used the cute <a href="https://shrsl.com/4dqny">Screw-top Mini Brads</a> to put the scissors together. Because only one side is glued down, you can actually open and close the scissors, although I don't know if the recipient will know that! ha ha!</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1-La64Z3Yiye_7E_DQrzglBczegKDx7Sa5gatDl7b2Kte6JR9XbgrvqgFSAdke_iua3VwRUZH4o1rwvrDuoGOspBxduTAR3zraBW5YKdAfL-TUOSMCtk1_mlAYgEF5woTiqz0ntHVMCdYoOMZksanIoZWyj3S1Vz_DEAkOFBs-Jygj4ok9G7dyQTPRI/s5120/IMG_8275.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja1-La64Z3Yiye_7E_DQrzglBczegKDx7Sa5gatDl7b2Kte6JR9XbgrvqgFSAdke_iua3VwRUZH4o1rwvrDuoGOspBxduTAR3zraBW5YKdAfL-TUOSMCtk1_mlAYgEF5woTiqz0ntHVMCdYoOMZksanIoZWyj3S1Vz_DEAkOFBs-Jygj4ok9G7dyQTPRI/w640-h640/IMG_8275.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">One of my favorite details, besides the scissors, is the envelop liner you can add to the open envelope. I chose to die cut it from pattern paper to give it a bit more detail. That being said, the Sent With Love sentiment set has a stamped liner so you can stamp it if you choose. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSe4WTxEGuNxPu-xAQX-cOHPHln08pVzdwBGqy1y4qEeIViUR6Wwpjykb-IVRxVQ26kiDBSd0A5pPgmgJ4tozWVQqlmse0nJqDFl74kM3KI1LzdrPJFYpYp6wtCbv058Oe3fIZqWTW46x0HsojqBZQuyisCa5KzNl0k8BkzwJwbva6IRHBNgyuhG_wvQE/s5120/IMG_8278.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSe4WTxEGuNxPu-xAQX-cOHPHln08pVzdwBGqy1y4qEeIViUR6Wwpjykb-IVRxVQ26kiDBSd0A5pPgmgJ4tozWVQqlmse0nJqDFl74kM3KI1LzdrPJFYpYp6wtCbv058Oe3fIZqWTW46x0HsojqBZQuyisCa5KzNl0k8BkzwJwbva6IRHBNgyuhG_wvQE/w640-h640/IMG_8278.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">For the background, I used the Airmail Border Stencil, the previously released <a href="https://shrsl.com/4dqo1">Spring Meadow Background Stamp</a> and then a layer using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4dqo5">Postal Frames Die</a> to layer all of the cute envelopes and notes on!

Today I'm sharing a set
of floral sympathy cards over on The Greetery Blog, but I wanted to share them here, too. I sat down a
few months ago and mass-produced quite a collection of sympathy cards to have
on hand since these types are often needed unexpectedly. I’m saddened to say that
my collection has dwindled and I’m in need yet again. As soon as I saw the
recently released <a href="https://shrsl.com/4d0wq ">Comfort and Joy Stamp Set</a>, I knew it would transcend beyond
Christmas cards and I couldn’t wait to use the beautiful sentiments on a fresh
set of sympathy cards. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNagjTXl-CbxYVEXAYrzJcmYHM0OhiCSk88WbAd6TTP6AdR8ZSLj56TcFDf9U6oEuVXK9jXigkR4aF6rU8L59BoKrCDyrdTf0Pu4FqN4p9uckBJorIpgOM8IH4sJeF-oqJGaZf2YX7GzGtHtHjwjEftClmI2d9GGUzgDUjJ57aSZW9wTeSG7crBAJW-k/s7538/IMG_7952.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7321" data-original-width="7538" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNagjTXl-CbxYVEXAYrzJcmYHM0OhiCSk88WbAd6TTP6AdR8ZSLj56TcFDf9U6oEuVXK9jXigkR4aF6rU8L59BoKrCDyrdTf0Pu4FqN4p9uckBJorIpgOM8IH4sJeF-oqJGaZf2YX7GzGtHtHjwjEftClmI2d9GGUzgDUjJ57aSZW9wTeSG7crBAJW-k/w640-h622/IMG_7952.JPG" width="640" /></a></div></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I’m particular about certain design elements and colors on
sympathy cards and I will explain my reasoning throughout today’s post. That
being said, I’m also known for breaking my own rules, so these aren’t “hard and
fast”, but I use my judgement depending on the situation and recipient. (wink)
Since these don’t have a particular recipient in mind, it didn’t matter
necessarily. One more thing before I dive into the how-to, I don’t usually make
“seasonal” sympathy cards, but changing up colors can make them more
appropriate for a different season and I will explain that a bit more, too!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0emLRk4KDB1dCU0hriFO2iRzNESBQ7F8gRitPZVganr68nVmHnlywhvY4HsAZyUPFhgOs8M3zOj3LUHATAsLZ9T4tSbPqFQi0Vg0njlwk0psXb10pqE44KUCmFr7n3xwHnzLOMyILN7ytiWNEYF9Nym1i3t4lLQlJ894XhWGcZllhMmGTw7hgDSzPuGE/s5120/IMG_7950.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0emLRk4KDB1dCU0hriFO2iRzNESBQ7F8gRitPZVganr68nVmHnlywhvY4HsAZyUPFhgOs8M3zOj3LUHATAsLZ9T4tSbPqFQi0Vg0njlwk0psXb10pqE44KUCmFr7n3xwHnzLOMyILN7ytiWNEYF9Nym1i3t4lLQlJ894XhWGcZllhMmGTw7hgDSzPuGE/w640-h640/IMG_7950.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">To begin, I chose to use the beautiful<a href="https://shrsl.com/4d0wu">Spring Meadow Stencil Collection</a> and coordinating <a href="https://shrsl.com/4d0wv">Spring Meadow Die</a>. I like using stencils for mass production
because you can just go step-by-step, panel by panel. Let’s take a minute to
talk about color; as you can see, each of the four cards has a different color
combination, but can you believe it’s only because I changed the final color
for each of the four cards? Just changing one color can really change the look
and feel of your design. I chose the final color to create something more
fitting for a particular season. Keeping the rest of the colors exactly the
same makes the mass-production element much simpler!</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI0vlLzbnoWBcWT6hKy0MthyphenhyphenQX_2AoVkJSNucjd-nkLWgT8OT-FJ76wpiygEDJfV9LSo9gLGFFwa6qDS2ct8jUjSk1lpw34lkTz8-juNoOp36uCQgR4ASQDhz8nknsObq3j3jU-UDTBogAX7oZPQVn02OzUK4z5ro0vF6apt7iDxyaweiepS_iMrV4-5Q/s5120/IMG_7951.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI0vlLzbnoWBcWT6hKy0MthyphenhyphenQX_2AoVkJSNucjd-nkLWgT8OT-FJ76wpiygEDJfV9LSo9gLGFFwa6qDS2ct8jUjSk1lpw34lkTz8-juNoOp36uCQgR4ASQDhz8nknsObq3j3jU-UDTBogAX7oZPQVn02OzUK4z5ro0vF6apt7iDxyaweiepS_iMrV4-5Q/w640-h640/IMG_7951.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Once I had the four panels stenciled, I used the
coordinating die to cut them out. I set them aside and got to work on the
background. For sympathy cards I don’t generally like a lot of layers and
design elements, but I DO like visual interest. For today’s cards, I added some
vintage patina distress ink to the center of four 4 by 5 ¼ inch panels of white
cardstock. I wanted to make sure I concentrated the ink where it would peek out
from behind the die cut stenciled flowers. I also added some Hawaiian Shores
ink splatter to each of the four panels for some depth and interest.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCWO9hE5Lx3AFxxbkJkYWVCia2u_TMfAPltCXUdImX3Nw4wo4gjZaMYSyUqaxVmsK902v4n3m56lL2N4ptNzmtCFLQ-Q-pRc1OqwIQXOiM6sFeNIAD4oYL5N28yd8VvsIN1DcYDShDDFcnLdIX4Ec6SxZ4gm7L3ddCm9Ek11K5luyKd6A5d9FopbRhAkk/s5120/IMG_7953.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCWO9hE5Lx3AFxxbkJkYWVCia2u_TMfAPltCXUdImX3Nw4wo4gjZaMYSyUqaxVmsK902v4n3m56lL2N4ptNzmtCFLQ-Q-pRc1OqwIQXOiM6sFeNIAD4oYL5N28yd8VvsIN1DcYDShDDFcnLdIX4Ec6SxZ4gm7L3ddCm9Ek11K5luyKd6A5d9FopbRhAkk/w640-h640/IMG_7953.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">While the ink was drying, I got to work on the sentiments. I
chose 4 sentiments from the Comfort & Joy stamp set that work well outside
of Christmas and would work nicely for the sympathy cards. I used black ink and
then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once I had that done, it was
time to decide on a layout for each individual card. Some of the sentiments
have the stamped companion sentiment such as “sending” or “sending wishes for”.
Because of the intricacies of the die cut florals, I needed to stamp them up at
the top or in the corner. I really like how easy it is to tilt the bouquet in
either direction for variety. You could also use two for each card and arrange
them at the top or bottom and then add the sentiment in the middle; lots of
possibilities! I used my mini MISTI to stamp the companion sentiments and then
assembled each card one-by-one.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggLy4Q_V3MFozFjjdhixRlxV0ZnI5F-Wi9ldw65-ZtanPCklZClkUkvwI7rnIlIJjDY7PpyzL2EflRjnVcHlW0DBYVSM9E_5bf68iX2i1QcvwoWxFpXtMGkka6FNquPKeKtxL7zZsZTOQBE7gdA-D5N5fFtRy5qDDKe_VOa3rLBotXIWC8hWSAi4R41KE/s5120/IMG_7954.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggLy4Q_V3MFozFjjdhixRlxV0ZnI5F-Wi9ldw65-ZtanPCklZClkUkvwI7rnIlIJjDY7PpyzL2EflRjnVcHlW0DBYVSM9E_5bf68iX2i1QcvwoWxFpXtMGkka6FNquPKeKtxL7zZsZTOQBE7gdA-D5N5fFtRy5qDDKe_VOa3rLBotXIWC8hWSAi4R41KE/w640-h640/IMG_7954.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="text-align: left;">Part of me wanted to add some sequins, but another one of my
sympathy card “rules” is that I don’t want anything too flashy, so instead, I
opted to spritz each card with a shimmer spray and a light hand! Each of the
four panels was mounted onto A2 card bases using foam squares. I’m pleased to
add these to my collection and fingers crossed I won’t need so many this year!
Sending wishes to each of you for a blessed and happy new year!

I’m happy to be here
today sharing a slimline card that features some of my absolute favorites from
the latest release from <a href="https://shrsl.com/45unu ">The Greetery</a>! I had wanted to make a card featuring a wooden ball garland
for the release, but just didn’t end up executing that particular idea. I
couldn’t get it out of my mind, so I was happy to create this card to share with
you today!<o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhW0uFaeWLMnPUuXvnzjH4WcxAivO_uGKNxnhaU5DEPv_j79eRIEb8tou1Y0CKVgKkU5ACP66tZHJqjCOpYkr0yGbh3YmgpsbuPVSx9Qatnqhs4F4phvc68nyOdBczZcx60Tq0w7Xgd9plGatm0oAl9BEAnzjG1fgiaj8k_zkgBXlfQIUSvPFI_RH1_dQ/s4758/IMG_7583.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4758" data-original-width="4758" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhW0uFaeWLMnPUuXvnzjH4WcxAivO_uGKNxnhaU5DEPv_j79eRIEb8tou1Y0CKVgKkU5ACP66tZHJqjCOpYkr0yGbh3YmgpsbuPVSx9Qatnqhs4F4phvc68nyOdBczZcx60Tq0w7Xgd9plGatm0oAl9BEAnzjG1fgiaj8k_zkgBXlfQIUSvPFI_RH1_dQ/w640-h640/IMG_7583.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">To begin, I die cut 4 wreaths using the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/4buvs">Magnolia Wreath</a> die
from white cardstock.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I used twisted
citron, mowed lawn, and rustic wilderness Distress Oxide inks and a finger
dauber to bring them to life. I adhered two wreaths together using
strategically places foam squares to give me two finished wreaths. I knew I would
want additional greenery for my design, so I also die cut some <a href="https://shrsl.com/49xnw ">BotaniCuts Juniper</a> pieces to tuck here and there. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I
set them aside and got to work on the bead garland.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkvg3EWtS5aMuBthoB9MA7WPNRfEafbjz2TsZEk05ZkQBf0nRzhmMmPLLNNcbfTMvPAN-0aBZBLeJ872Er3BQYsech2asa1HicLDhtTkgxrIGg82MZoSk0sk2EPLDW-s_HAt6IKwndw3Jc4C8gGtpZt7m1oHEERcmSu6nw4R_CrsjoICN9WdkLLUXUD0/s5120/IMG_7584.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5120" data-original-width="5120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkvg3EWtS5aMuBthoB9MA7WPNRfEafbjz2TsZEk05ZkQBf0nRzhmMmPLLNNcbfTMvPAN-0aBZBLeJ872Er3BQYsech2asa1HicLDhtTkgxrIGg82MZoSk0sk2EPLDW-s_HAt6IKwndw3Jc4C8gGtpZt7m1oHEERcmSu6nw4R_CrsjoICN9WdkLLUXUD0/w640-h640/IMG_7584.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I used the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4buvv">Ribbon Maker: Wood Bead Garland</a> die and die cut
the curvy design 4 times from Kraft cardstock. I glued two together for a nice,
sturdy piece and then added some brown ink around the edges for contrast and
depth. I glued them together after I had fussed and fidgeted with how I wanted
the garland to hang for this design. I ended up cutting off the pieces at the
top so it would hang just right; you can adjust things how you need if you’d
like to try this idea!</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEJLfdfmVLjrVBgVCk3ZTKGrgbhCJUtsAyfCi8KOSM7qF1aV2IVkCCzl1cjL7OlQ7831sKSTYF0oTsEXBL79UTCKmA6nQ74Hrn_WLqBHdGh5SNT7YSppFBaVZ8cSZ-NcQM6-Q6b1aZLhRLZ-i6u5PAboSRFLbVnX9DEZ5kbTHk8uQ02eaA1aZ0xHRR68/s4824/IMG_7582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4824" data-original-width="4824" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEJLfdfmVLjrVBgVCk3ZTKGrgbhCJUtsAyfCi8KOSM7qF1aV2IVkCCzl1cjL7OlQ7831sKSTYF0oTsEXBL79UTCKmA6nQ74Hrn_WLqBHdGh5SNT7YSppFBaVZ8cSZ-NcQM6-Q6b1aZLhRLZ-i6u5PAboSRFLbVnX9DEZ5kbTHk8uQ02eaA1aZ0xHRR68/w640-h640/IMG_7582.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Every Christmas, I add a beautiful icy garland over my
fireplace, but have fun adding all kinds of “extras” like snowflake ornaments,
icicle ornaments, etc. so of course I needed to give this garland some “extras”
as well! I added both sizes of tassels using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci4m">Tassel Large Die</a> and the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci4n">Tassel Small Die</a>.</span><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">I simply die cut them
from Rustic White cardstock and adhered them together. I couldn’t actually
thread them through the bead garland because of size, so I simply snipped a
strategic slit in the loop and added them that way, securing them with foam
squares. I also added a few gold glitter stars in two sizes; you will find these
darling stars in the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci4p">Rustic Star Small die</a> collection and <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci4q">Rustic Star Large die</a> collection.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYXLDxfx8X01qakSTzi-ZYj4qbouHEp2PNQOMgtvlXnsahPnyWJNT2QvEVlk1S4ZouGy2D_CFnQUxp8BfsZAVjgTpQ3KIjWSpK2D9sAUC8DhWO73eP0Z_X8Ah2bs0kPOo7uo3A5YOz9A3dNEN_5e0J_OPj5Jw-jTbY89cxFGcMwwq05nkxRzYF_9prqXE/s4758/IMG_7583.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4758" data-original-width="4758" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYXLDxfx8X01qakSTzi-ZYj4qbouHEp2PNQOMgtvlXnsahPnyWJNT2QvEVlk1S4ZouGy2D_CFnQUxp8BfsZAVjgTpQ3KIjWSpK2D9sAUC8DhWO73eP0Z_X8Ah2bs0kPOo7uo3A5YOz9A3dNEN_5e0J_OPj5Jw-jTbY89cxFGcMwwq05nkxRzYF_9prqXE/w640-h640/IMG_7583.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I was having a hard time deciding on a sentiment, but I knew
it would need to be one with a coordinating die, so I chose the gorgeous <a href="https://shrsl.com/4buwl">Comfort and Joy stamp set</a>with its coordinating <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci4t">die</a>. I heat embossed it in
white onto black cardstock and then die cut it. The black and white provided
the perfect contrast against the red and greenery.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtXffhkVDuleUqwhf-7K5TL3HeY3TPKWa6hc-vUB0fWkCR5Kpa5HI1odaDyM0K0vRgwN8Kp2srj4aqHg1BzSQqkYqzETMCJlILTiX2cM7pLPxtvukd57Q3qfVZfqPzUuTw_6-U55xG_WpFUmgbWMCIAVW63pbEXQVR2OsN0sENCy7rjcZKYRQwomSjf5s/s2664/IMG_7573.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2664" data-original-width="2664" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtXffhkVDuleUqwhf-7K5TL3HeY3TPKWa6hc-vUB0fWkCR5Kpa5HI1odaDyM0K0vRgwN8Kp2srj4aqHg1BzSQqkYqzETMCJlILTiX2cM7pLPxtvukd57Q3qfVZfqPzUuTw_6-U55xG_WpFUmgbWMCIAVW63pbEXQVR2OsN0sENCy7rjcZKYRQwomSjf5s/w640-h640/IMG_7573.HEIC" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">For the background, I die cut the largest panel included in
the <a href=" https://shrsl.com/4buw4 ">Nordic Slimline die</a> collection out of Pure Poppy cardstock. I added that to
a slimline-sized Kraft card base using foam squares. Once that was done, it was
finally time to pull it all together….my favorite part! Once I had the wreaths,
garland, and tassels in place, I added some white paint splatter. The stars are
added using liquid glue and then everything got a generous sprinkling of
glitter for that holiday sparkle I love so much! I also gussied up a Kraft
slimline envelope using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci4z">Snowflake Prints Stencil</a> and the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4ci51">Four Square Holiday Tags stamp set</a>. I don’t often make slimline cards so this was a fun
change-of-pace for me! I hope you’ll try your own garland card!

I mentioned at the beginning of today's post that I took last December off and I am doing the same this year. I have SO many stamp/die sets that I have purchased for my personal use that are just sitting there (like YEARS worth) and I am planning on taking some "me" crafty time and pull them out and do some Christmas crafting! I will be sure to share everything here! But first.... finish decorating for Christmas! ha ha!</span></div><br /> <p></p>Kelly Luncefordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17098101473555852789noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-732475448078145588.post-41550983185613404532023-12-02T05:00:00.001-07:002023-12-02T05:00:00.139-07:00Season's Greetings Shaker Card<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifcj_y7xGyhO9Z8sc9yYS14me44CiVFX-tHU5NRCMRmzJ7pA1ZpnYGtTiDrwRjM5Bwc1CpZh-tnTYKWbrYsE-qGGHTHGrICxjIrwely4jrsmddazkUJvkmP6QL5oDtlVdx9iFxdpAEIQWLrABe1Ryo9E4QySbzAaYoUUf4xxLfgNxTvROMW1FSflq1ILM/s2560/IMG_6943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifcj_y7xGyhO9Z8sc9yYS14me44CiVFX-tHU5NRCMRmzJ7pA1ZpnYGtTiDrwRjM5Bwc1CpZh-tnTYKWbrYsE-qGGHTHGrICxjIrwely4jrsmddazkUJvkmP6QL5oDtlVdx9iFxdpAEIQWLrABe1Ryo9E4QySbzAaYoUUf4xxLfgNxTvROMW1FSflq1ILM/w640-h640/IMG_6943.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Welcome! I shared this card on Instagram a few weeks ago for the <a href="https://shrsl.com/45nba ">Papertrey Ink</a> Flash Sale, but I didn't share it here. It seemed to be quite popular so I thought I'd share it here and give a few details on how I made it!</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSQ2tLDjhoeDldlIANZ9Iqw6lyXrttVWT7L8GzhPBTiG2GTU1LuYtJ7_cwJZH3rZDM4b04olNVRSKG-9kyiFrJU26fNVPUq9lzfDaucOpP9ZW6xtokK0OzQQ0NSN1w4zoEcjNt9sTljaMqSsRbKgS5Zpo72YRYZmE9zUCD3SngY6joDLGv3Tdmt-4quU/s2560/IMG_6947.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtSQ2tLDjhoeDldlIANZ9Iqw6lyXrttVWT7L8GzhPBTiG2GTU1LuYtJ7_cwJZH3rZDM4b04olNVRSKG-9kyiFrJU26fNVPUq9lzfDaucOpP9ZW6xtokK0OzQQ0NSN1w4zoEcjNt9sTljaMqSsRbKgS5Zpo72YRYZmE9zUCD3SngY6joDLGv3Tdmt-4quU/w640-h640/IMG_6947.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">One of my favorite die sets from last year is the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4bt1z">Christmas Shaker Dies</a>; I love shaker cards, but I seriously struggle with them and these dies make creating shaker cards a dream! For this card, I wanted each portion of the tree to be it's own "compartment" so I chose to die cut the tree shape about 5 or six times and then glued them together using liquid glue. I used the "backer" die, which is also used for the acetate portion and glued the acetate layer underneath the top tree piece. I turned it over and added the tiny star embellishments in each compartment and then glued the pattern paper backer to the back using additional liquid glue. </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgamIiMg7fis4HsE-BZAY69HrXVjlMvC9fAB_vxAmZvk_76qzuD_nJ2Fj5WdltqMbOfypPvmuwG4Y5M7sY8RSF6YC3TmPINgcZyH0ciiD6zKbU8rM5UTu5MIB6avJS_VQwh6aRcU26cDLGsm4nf89-oAXhFmesYNcuqNgZUpDsEbL8gAIpz8QN9jZ6Dp5I/s2560/IMG_6944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgamIiMg7fis4HsE-BZAY69HrXVjlMvC9fAB_vxAmZvk_76qzuD_nJ2Fj5WdltqMbOfypPvmuwG4Y5M7sY8RSF6YC3TmPINgcZyH0ciiD6zKbU8rM5UTu5MIB6avJS_VQwh6aRcU26cDLGsm4nf89-oAXhFmesYNcuqNgZUpDsEbL8gAIpz8QN9jZ6Dp5I/w640-h640/IMG_6944.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I have gotten quite a few questions about the pattern paper that I used for this card; it really does set the tone of the card, doesn't it? It is called Holiday Spice from the Recollections brand. I did a quick google search and it looks like there is a pack available on Ebay and I saw one on Etsy I believe, but it is a 6 by 6 pad. Anyway, it DOES look like you could get your hands on some.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0AlJ0vw3olFMXhnbRltYXz1r1aJgso8OWyXZRwVS77ii3AVXo_il_zqU6WQS8n8Nzi_SWypnI1kDGyZOIHJ3n4tLkgd_vCuq5ZPKNqT6anXaTXx57m3qQPNEVdecilWjda-9yHf8CQ4PvWr1Fy6iaRe3GxuKvtRiS5q0zFz7YDwDGns3PhF9RjdHmHY/s2560/IMG_6945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi0AlJ0vw3olFMXhnbRltYXz1r1aJgso8OWyXZRwVS77ii3AVXo_il_zqU6WQS8n8Nzi_SWypnI1kDGyZOIHJ3n4tLkgd_vCuq5ZPKNqT6anXaTXx57m3qQPNEVdecilWjda-9yHf8CQ4PvWr1Fy6iaRe3GxuKvtRiS5q0zFz7YDwDGns3PhF9RjdHmHY/w640-h640/IMG_6945.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I carried out the star theme and die cut the included star from the shaker set from silver glitter cardstock and glued it to the top of the tree. I tucked some <a href="https://shrsl.com/4bsxj ">greenery</a> behind the tree for added detail. The sentiment is from the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4bt2c">Winter Globes Sentiment Set</a> and is just perfect for this card!</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7rP7fBhdSSHFF7kRkwoquCGb2BFiCZvC7DHwFwLQuZiBMcLN4K1PscFZhcGUdaVjmeoB9S3vB648uVkax9cmvlOS7pxJMPMMNj6Itkru453mNbfP0WTv1pCdXyD6t1DlFTStgaMPVi4_oIHED_844J1WIqNbun6kwoZptJZarhvIu3GJvK7eOgy7MnTA/s2560/IMG_6948.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="2560" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7rP7fBhdSSHFF7kRkwoquCGb2BFiCZvC7DHwFwLQuZiBMcLN4K1PscFZhcGUdaVjmeoB9S3vB648uVkax9cmvlOS7pxJMPMMNj6Itkru453mNbfP0WTv1pCdXyD6t1DlFTStgaMPVi4_oIHED_844J1WIqNbun6kwoZptJZarhvIu3GJvK7eOgy7MnTA/w640-h640/IMG_6948.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The light panel is die cut using the <a href="https://shrsl.com/4bt2e">Love to Layer: Rectangles Die</a> and I just love the pierced detail! It lends itself nicely to the piercing on the tree to keep things cohesive. I chose the big plaid for the background to warm it up even more and glued it to a top-folding Kraft card base.
