CARD: Birthday Magnolias

Tomorrow, Sunday, is my Mom's birthday.  Of course, this week has been super busy and I haven't had much time to create so I pulled this gorgeous card, designed by Jenn Tinline, from some of my recent swaps.  I thought it was perfect for Mom as she loves flowers but is allergic to them.  These ones won't make her sneeze at all!


There are many elements to this card that perfectly coordinate.  The stamp set is Magnolia Blooms. This is from the Beginner Brochure and is different from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set found in the annual catalogue.  Strips of patterned paper from the Magnolia Lane DSP pack are cut to add layers to the card.  The images are stamped in Petal Pink ink while the sentiment is in Mossy Meadow to coordinate with the card stock layer on top of the Whisper White card base.  Leaves are also stamped on this layer of Mossy Meadow using the same colour ink for a mono-chromatic look.  A strip of Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon is folded and tucked in behind the Stitched Shape circle and layering Circles scalloped circle which is adhered to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The result is this soft and elegant card, that combines simplicity and wow-factor.

CARD: Sail North

Good day!  

Today's project is a last farewell to summer.  It uses the Sailing Home stamp set and Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.  

I received today's card in the CASE the catalogue swap.  All our catalogues should be used for more than just shopping.  They're full of inspiration like this one, featured on page 144.  


The card base is Basic Black measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and folded in half to become 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  Two strips of the grey and black print from the Come Sail Away Designer Paper, measuring 1" x 5 1/2" each are adhered to the top and the bottom of the card base.  Whisper White is cut to measure 5 1/2" x 3 3/4" forms the base for our stamped images.  The lighthouse and sail boats are stamped in Stazon Black ink.  Aqua painters are then used to add colour using Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow reinkers.  Linen Thread is tied around the Whisper White and tied in a bow before the card stock is adhered to the base using Stampin' Dimensionals.  On a piece of Night of Navy card stock, measuring 3/4" x 3" the sentiment is stamped in Versamark ink.  White embossing powder is sprinkled on top and set using the Heat Tool.  This is then adhered with Stampin' Dimenstionals.  The birds are stamped in Night of Navy and hand cut before being adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to complete the look.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do.  The watercolour softens the entire look and adds dimension.
