Week 47 – Real Red

Today’s card features the Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) with the Hearts of Elegance bundle.

On a Read Red card base, A Gold Foil layer is added. The SDSP is also run through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Patterns of Friendship die, giving a subtle striped effect. I cut two lengths of Gold Open Weave Trim and added them on Seal+ across the centre of the card to add some texture.

The next layer is the Everyday Arches dies in Basic White. I used the next die two sizes down to cut out the centre to create the arched window.

The hearts are cut in Real Red and Gold Foil and the flowers are stamped in Versamark ink, Gold WOW Emboss Powder added and melted with my Heat Tool. There are coordinating dies to cut these out. The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut and added on Mini Dimensionals. I added Wink of Stella to the large red heart later for extra sparkle!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next Wednesday for inspiration using Shaded Spruce.

Week 46 – Pumpkin Pie

Today’s card features the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (DSP) with other colours of cardstock from the colours in the DSP. The Summer Splash piece has been dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. The ink splatter on the cardbase is from the Elements of Text stamp set. Some Open Weave Trim is placed behind all the card layers.

The lobster is fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP and attached to a white die cut (Everyday Arches dies) with Dimensionals. I used my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to add some splatters to the white arch. Some pearls were added, as you always need some extra embellishments.

Here’s a close up of that fussy cut lobster and you can see the ink splatter better!

On the inside, some more of that bright patterned paper with as Melon Mambo die cut (Textured Notes dies) and a piece of Basic White with a sentiment stamped in Pumpkin Pie.
