Berry Blessings and Sweet Strawberry Slimline card

This week we have a slimline challenge:

Here is my creation:

 

I started with a card base of Basic White Thick (159229) card stock. Trimmed to 9" x 8" and folded at 4". I then cut a Night of Navy Card Stock (100867) piece of 3 3/4" x 8", and adhered it to the far left of front. Next I cut three pieces of the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (FREE 157613) into 1" x 3 3/4" strips, and spaced them to the right of the card front. I used a Vellum Doily (152484) on an angle and adhered it to the left card front. Next is a strip of Basic White (159276) 1 1/4" x 3 1/2" adhered to the center front of the card. I then stamped on two Basic White (159276) squares of 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". I colored in the strawberry leaves and flowers with Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight markers. On a big scrap of Basic White (159276), I stamped the blueberries, the strawberries and the raspberries with leaves and fussy cut them out .Next I adhered the two stamped squares, and then the extra berries on Stampin' Dimensionals (104430). I stamped the inside of the card, and the business sized envelope.

That is all for today. Happy Hopping!

Merry Christmoose for the DOstamper Challenge

Welcome to the DOstamper stars blog hop!

Here is my contribution:

You have probably seen several of these simple cards, that use the lone moose on a field of white. Using the Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper for the moose punch is not new either, but I have a somewhat unique solution for the inside of the card. I think it gives the card some movement to have him go off of the page. What do you think? The simple gift stamp at the bottom of the envelope continues the Q & C, (Quick and Cool) theme.

Here are the materials used:

Card Stock = Whisper White, Night of Navy, and Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper

Stamp Set = Merry Moose Bundle (includes stamp set and punch for 10% off)

Ink = Night of Navy

Extras = Snail adhesive and/or Multipurpose Liquid glue

As always, thanks for stopping by! You can order any of these items on the Stampin' Up! website. Please choose me as your demonstrator (if you don't already have one!).

Floating Frame Technique

This is my first attempt at the Floating Frame technique:

 

Lots easier than I thought! Dawn Olchefske challenged us to try it, and there are Pinterest links that show how to do it. You use "Press and Seal" wrap to hold the punched pieces in place. (The only trouble that I had was when the the wrap stuck to the roller in my die cut machine). Trimming is very important!

Supplies:

Card stock = Whisper White, Mango Melody

Ink = Mango Melody

Stampin' Write Markers = Mango Melody, Early Esspresso, Basic Gray, Gray Granite, and Daffodil Delight

Stamp Set = Nine Lives

Punches = Cat, Dog Builder (heart)

Extras = Stampin' Dimensionals, Rectangle Stitched framelits

Have fun hopping!

Chevron Fold Challenge

Here is a new kind of hop! Our Thursday Challenge is now on (every other) Saturday. Today we are working with the technique called, "Chevron Folding".

Here is my contribution:

Outside





Inside (and envelope flap).

The technique involves cutting (at least) five strips of double sided designer series paper into 1" x 2 1/2" strips, and then folding these on the ends. Three right to left, and two left to right. There are plenty of tutorials out there that can explain the technique much better than I can. 

Here is my recipe:

Card stock = Whisper White, Shaded Spruce, Granny Apple Green, Blushing Bride (scrap), Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper

Ink = Momento Black, Basic Black Marker

Stamp set = So Hoppy Together (SAB)

Sizzix dies = Hop Around Framelits (SAB), Tropical Thinlits, Layered Square Framelits

Other = Whisper White medium envelope, Stampin' Dimensionals, googlie eyes (7 mm)

Thanks for stopping, have fun hopping!
