Rue Des Fleurs, Twitterpated DSP, and Labels Collection Framelits

Hello, my friends, and thanks for stopping by to see my Stampin' Up! Rue Des Fleurs greeting card, "Thanks for Your Support"!  This card is dedicated to two of my sisters, Bonnie and Bonita, for all the support they have given me over the last year.  I love my sisters very much, and just don't know what I would do without them!

The beautiful Stampin' Up! Twitterpated Designer Series Paper forms the frame around the corset and sentiment stamp images from the Rue Des Fleurs Stamp Set.  I love the flowers sitting inside the corset!  The frame, which is dimensional, was created with the new Stampin' Up! Labels Collection Framelits, and the picture below gives a closeup of the frame. (Click on the pictures to enlarge them.)

Other Stampin' Up! products used are the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine, VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad, and White Stampin' Embossing Powder.

Paper Quilling, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper

I love butterflies!  I get so excited when I see them around my flowers in my gardens.  Thinking of butterflies generated this card that features paper quilled butterflies and the Sale-A-Bration Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (DSP) (126154) that you get free with a $50 order!

The Scallop Squares Duo Bigz Die was used for the Calypso Carol scallop squares, and the 1-3/8" Square Punch for the Pool Party squares.  The ribbon and brads from the  Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack were placed 3/4" from the top and bottom, and all four corners, respectively.

What do you think about the paper quilled butterflies?

Tool Tip - Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets

Typically, the Stampin' Up! Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets are used to adhere die cuts to paper (e.g.,cardstock and designer series paper), fabric to paper, or other crafting items to various forms of base material.  Today, I have another application to share with you.


This tip involves using an adhesive sheet, the Stampin' Up! Large Lace Ribbon Border Punch, and Stampin' Glitter.  However, the tip can be used with any Stampin' Up! punch.


INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Using a piece of an Adhesive Sheet, punch a Lace Ribbon Border with the Large Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  Measure and cut to the size desired.







2. Carefully remove the "Sizzix" backing from the Lace Ribbon Border piece, ensuring the adhesive remains. Try to not touch the adhesive side with your fingers to prevent removing the adhesive. 

3.  Select a glitter of your choice and cover the Lace Ribbon Border with the glitter.  Using the back of a small spoon or other object, gently tap the glitter down onto the adhesive strip.

4.  Using tweezers, lift the Lace Ribbon Border from the glitter.  Using the spoon, gently pat down the glitter again to ensure adhesion. 

5.  Embellish a card with your glitter-covered Lace Ribbon Border.

I encourage you to think outside the box and discover other ways to use the adhesive sheets.

Mouthwatering Stamp Set, and Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper

Sweet cherries, especially Bing Cherries, surely make my mouth water; how about you?  And as I've said before, the "dressed up" stamp images form the Mouthwatering Stamp Set really make my mouth water.  They are so adorable!  

Today's share is a card featuring the Mouthwatering Stamp Set's cherries stamp image, and I think the card is so bright and cheeryful; oops, I mean cheerful.  This card is a perfect card for my grandchildren as they love fruit and they certainly are so very sweet!

The card base is Soft Suede Cardstock that is covered with Riding Hood Red Cardstock.  The top layer is the cupcake design from the Sweet Shop Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The mats behind the cherry image were made with the Stampin' Up! Labels Collection Framelits.  The second label is covered with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, as is the flipped-up piece of the DSP at the bottom right.  The "So Sweet" sentiment is from the Sweet Cake Stamp Set.

Closeups of the card's elements are below.  Click on the pictures to enlarge them.
