Reason To Celebrate St. Patrick's Day Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Reason To Celebrate stamp set and Branching Out dies.


Techniques include creating clovers using the small heart from the Bee Builder Punch, an embossed background and coloring techniques.

How perfect that the prominent color on today's card is Shy Shamrock! 😁

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

An easy way to add mini glue dots to small items on your card is to place the item on the glue dot while it's still on the strip and removed it when you're ready to use it.  Whether it's a small piece of cardstock, a bow of ribbon or twine, or an embellishment, it makes the assembly process much smoother.  I've shown it here with the punched hearts ready for today's card.


======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Reason To Celebrate stamp set
  • Branching Out dies
  • Bee Builder punch
  • Shy Shamrock cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
    • small piece for 10 punched hearts
  • Shaded Spruce cardstock
    • 4-1/4 x 3 die cut layer
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 4 x 2-1/2 die cut layer
  • Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Light Shy Shamrock Stampin' Blend
  • Beautiful Pattern embossing folder
  • White Baker's Twine
  • Wink of Stella® Clear Glitter Brush
  • mini glue dots
  • Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Emboss card front by inserting into Beautiful Patterns embossing folder at fold line.  You will need to run this through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the card base open and the hinge of the embossing folder at one side.



Color four of the punched hearts with Wink of Stella, set aside to dry.



Ink "Happy" and "St. Patrick's Day" with Shaded Spruce, stamp in upper part of Basic White die cut layer, adhere to Shaded Spruce die cut layer.



Adhere to folded card front, centering.


Color 5-6" of Baker's Twine with Light Shy Shamrock Stampin' Blend by running brush tip sideways along twine, and turning twine to completely saturate with color.  Allow to dry, then cut into 3 lengths between 1 and 2" each.


Adhere twine pieces with mini glue dots at one end, and space along lower part of Basic White layer.


Attach three hearts to two left "stems", making sure to cover the mini glue dot at the top of the stem, with point of heart at stem.  Position next heart adjacent to first one, matching tip, and add one more to create 3-leaf clovers.  Adhere four leaf clover with mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  Place first heart with side adjacent to stem, then align each heart adjacent with tips touching.

Addressed To You Sparkly Birthday Wishes Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the lovely Addressed To You stamp set, with images that work for so much more than just your envelopes.  There are multiple images for occasions throughout the year sized to fit perfectly in the opening of the oval or rectangle included in this set.  


Techniques include two-step stamping and heat embossing.   This card has lots of sparkle, from the silver foil sheet mat layer, the silver embossed stamped image and the rhinestones and faceted circles.  It's easy to add sparkle and shine to your card in a variety of ways.

==============================================================================

Beverly's Tip of the Day

It's easy to add dimension and reflection to your images with the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter (designed to work with the Stampin' Blends Markers).  Whether it's to show a glimmer in an eye, or the shine on a balloon, a couple quick swipes or taps with the Color Lifter adds this feature for you.  


This Color Lifter also easily removes any little oops, where you've colored outside the line and want to clean up the edge.  It's magic!  Simply run the tip over the color you want removed and watch it disappear.  Note that it takes a minute for the ink to dry.  

======================================================================

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Addressed To You stamp set
  • Branching Out dies
  • Pretty In Pink cardstock 
    • card base 4-1/4 x 11 scored & folded at 5-1/2    OR    5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
  • Silver Foil Sheets 
    • 5-1/4 x 4 panel
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 4 x 2-3/4 for die cut 
  • Mixed Up Patterns Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 5 x 3-3/4 pink dots on white print
  • VersaMark Pad
  • Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Pretty In Pink Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
  • Stampin' Blends Color Lifter
  • Wow! Silver Embossing Powder
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels
  • Pearlized Faceted Circles
  • Heat Tool
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Adhere Silver Foil panel to folded card front, adhere pink dotted DSP layer to Silver Foil.




Note: When working with a larger, rather floppy stamp like the oval, lay oval with image side down onto grid paper, allow to relax, then place clear block onto stamp to have the oval maintain its proper shape. For this card, I placed the balloon stamp onto the same block with the oval and stamped the entire image at once. 

Ink oval and balloons with Versamark, stamp onto Basic White die cut piece.  Sprinkle with Silver Embossing Powder, shake off excess, melt powder with Heat Tool to set.


Color the three balloons with Dk Pretty In Pink and Lt & Dk Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends.  Use color lifter to draw a slight curve near top of each balloon for reflection detail.


Ink Happy and Birthday with Flirty Flamingo, stamp inside oval.

Adhere die cut to card front, centering.



Embellish with small rhinestones and small and medium pearlized faceted circles, covering the circles around the balloons.
