CASE Monday - Special Reason

Happy Monday, my stamping friend.
Time for another CASE card. This time I cased the cards created by amazing Dena Rekow. I absolutely love the simplicity and clean lines of the card she created. I decided to use different colors and add extra layer.

The new 2016-2018 are the colors I choose. Peekaboo Peach is my favorite one:

 Flirty Flamingo:

And Sweet SugarPum:

How Tos:

• Card front is 5 1/2 " x 8 1/2 " of think whisper white.
• Whisper White piece is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8". Die cut 2 small flowers on it. Stamp big flower on scrap piece and die cut.
• In Color card stock is 4 x 5 1/4". Position die cut piece on top, lightly mark the center of flowers. Remove white piece and sponge with dauber. This will add extra color to the flower.
• Stamp sentiment, leaves, add big flower with dimensinals.
• I also used wink of stella on small flowers and a big one.

What do you think?
If you need anything - let me know.
Happy Stamping!

Make a Medallion with Glimmer

Hello my stamping friend!
Today I want to share with you my creation using Make a Medallion stamp set.
This new FREE SAB stamp is amazing. To be honest, I did not consider it at first. But when my stamping friend picked it as her first choice - I looked at it closer and get one for myself. Two step stamping has so many possibilities when you come to color choices. This color combo idea came from the glimmer paper: sweet sugarplum plus darker natural (soft suede in this case):

This is the card we did at my Crafting Happy Hour class at local wine shop. Very quick and easy.
How Tos:

• Card base - Sweet Sugarplum 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4"
• Glimmer paper - 3/4 x 5 1/2, adhere to the left side of the card front
• Whisper White piece - 3 x 4 1/4, randomly stamp the medallions in 2 colors. I find it easier to start with one that has inside.
• Soft Suede 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Adhere whisper white stamping piece to it, add with dimensionals to card front
• Stamp sentiment on 1/2 x 3 1/4 strip of whisper white. Mont it to 3/4 x 3 1/4 piece of soft suede. Add on top of medallion piece with dimensionals
• Add rhinestones as desired.

Mint Macaroon and Bermuda Bay glimmer paper are waiting for their turn. Need to think about good color companion for them. Have an idea?
Happy Stamping!

Flourishing Thank You

Hello, my stamping friend.
This week I will take a little break from Thoughtful Branches bundle. I will still cover Winter and Spring for you, I promise. If you are local and would like to attend the class I am holding - scroll down for more information.
Today I want to share with you Thank You card using Flourishing Phrases bundle. I just absolutely love how intricate die is and the font of the stamp:

I used Peekaboo Peach and Pear Pizzazz. Love this combo.
Would you like to know how to make it?

Measurements:

• Pear Pizzazz CS: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, 3 ¼” x 4 ¼ “ 
• Whisper White CS: 3” x 4” 
• Designer Paper: 4 x 5 ¼ “ 
• Glimmer paper ¾ x 4” 
• Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango scraps. 

How To:

•  Create your card base by scoring a pear pizzazz cs piece at 4 ¼”. Adhere designer paper to card front and glimmer paper in the center.
• Stamp large flower in Peekaboo peach in top right corner of whisper white cs. Stamp sentiment in pear pizazz toward the bottom and 3 sets of the leaves around the flower. 
• Adhere stamped white piece to the 3 ¼ x 4 ¼“ pear pizazz cs. Attach to the card with dimensionals. 
• Cut medium flower from peekaboo peach and larger from tangerine tango scraps using thinlits and Big Shot. Layer on top of each other and adhere to card with glue dots. Add rhinestones to the center of 2 flowers.

Now try different color combo!
