Berry Botanical 12x12 vellum paper


This card I got the inspiration for from Totally traced. I used Strawberry Slush ink with a sentiment from Greenery Lane. The die is from the beautifully traced die set. The mat is Peaceful Pine 2 tone card stock. I cut the flowers from a sheet of the vellum after I glued them to white card stock. I glued the berries directly down without the white paper underneath.

Don’t throw the images away that are on the edges of the paper. The berries were partially cut off but with the purple flower on top you can’t tell. The flower on the left was in the corner of the paper so when I added it to the corner of my card it doesn’t look like it was an incomplete image but a flower I cut the edges off.
 
This card has half of the front cut off and a vellum panel added behind the short panel. A white panel is glued inside for an additional sentiment if desired and any note you want to add. Card is 2 tone Peaceful Pine card stock. Floral panel is the Berry Botanical vellum product of the month still available while supplies last. Sentiment from the Greenery Lane stamp set on die from the Beautifully Celebrated die set. Gold striped ribbon is added to the front panel. Inspiration for this card came from Totally Traced.

Sentiment is from Botanical expressions stamp set. Card base is Peaceful Pine card stock with a 2 tone Peaceful Pine (light side) panel. The Freesia vellum is glued to a white panel. The flowers and leaves were cut from the Berry Botanical vellum paper. The flowers were glued to white then fussy cut out, the leaves and berries added with the white behind.
I added the blue berries and the flower and leaf at the bottom then smudged the top right side so added the three purple flowers.

Natures Symphony


Here is my second swap card for the Stampin' Up! On Stage recent event. 

On this card I didn't want to use designer paper but I wanted the look of designer paper so I created it.
 
On the right Pool Party panel I used the large stamp and stamped it twice stamping off both times for a softer color. 

The far left I used two toned {dark side} Crumb Cake card stock panel I used the large stamp from the Rolling Waves stamp set and stamped it using Crumb cake ink stamping off once then stamping twice before reinking. I repeated this going over previously stamp imagers until the panel was fully covered.

I then torn the panel so show the white core and tore another piece on the lighter side exposing the white core. 

The driftwood die cut piece is popped up with dimensionals and the sentiment strip glue to the top right side.

Stamps: Natures Symphony and Rolling waves

Inks: Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Shaded Spruce

Paper: Pecan Pie, Pool Party and white cardstock, Two toned Crumb Cake card stock.

Good luck St Patrick's day friendship card

Here is a cute friendship card for St. Patrick's day. If you don't want the Lucky to be friends sentiment, the stamp set also had Good Luck and You're Gold sentiments you could use. I added some gold dots with the embossed gold above the pot and didn't realize until after I added them that they are retired, you can add any gold sequins or embellishment you have in your stash. 
 
The shamrock on the inside is stamped off to get a lighter hue 

Supplies used:

Stamps: Good Luck and Reason to Celebrate 

Ink: Old Olive, Momento Black and VersaMark

Paper: Old Olive and white card stock, Mixed Up Patterns designer series paper and Gold Foil

Accessories:  Stamp Cut and Emboss machine, Banner Dies, Low Profile dots (retired), Gold Embossing powder, Heat Tool.
