Crafting with You Catalog Case- Cutest card ever!

 

This was a case from the catalog page 156 in the die section of the catalog that just took my breath away so I had to make it for my Stampin with Lynda class.  Is this not the cutest card ever?

The base card is Poppy Parade and it was stamped on the margins with the flower image - although the one here I forgot. then I put a piece of white then bubblebath - the prettiest pink ever! in a wonky way because I felt like it. 

Diecut the emroidery hoop in white and in pecan pie- take the white circle on the inside and use the flower stamp and ink using regular watercolor markers using poppy parade, real red and old olive then huff on the stamp and stamp on the white circle. diecut the sppols using the pecan pie, and threads using bubble bath, poppy red and old olive (my class made 4 spools but I could not find my fourth one to put on this sample)

Diecut the scissors in silver (retired)  and in pumpkin pie- cut the silver piece along the line and mount onto the pumpkin pie to create two tone scissors as shown. if you want you can also add a small round brad to create the dot in the middle but not necessary.

This one just kills me - is it not the cutest ever?  It makes me giggle with pleasure- I diecut the paper cutter in black and in silver and cut the top and bottom off the silver piece and mounted it as shown - it is so clever that they did fuse the little piece to the top of the die so it won't get lost and that was cut using a pumpkin pie left over piece to make it so real -  just LOVE this die!

The thread die has lines embossed in it to look like thread - so clever!

Take a piece of granny apple green strip and stamp sentiment using versamark and emboss using white embossing powder. put one of the small flower on the corner as shown.

Lighting the Way

I just love this set - My DH and kids would go camping every 4th of July weekend with bunch of other families when they were younger to northern california and I have such fond memories of carrying the Coleman lamps. This stampset even has the little circles in 3 different sizes to represent the light glow- so clever!

This was one of the cards we made for May Stampin' with Lynda - The basecard is Orchid Oasis. Take a piece of regular white cardstock and stamp the leave in old olive and yellow lights where you think you are going to need it then emboss using the Basics 3D embossing folder (online only item 161598  order 24/7 at https://lyndalee.stampinup.net/ ) 

Diecut the lamp using the Smoky Slate cardstock and mount using dimensionals to pop it up. You could have used Shaded Spruce or peacock for the lamp as well but I wanted the lightening bugs to show more and did not want as much contrast. 

Stamp the lightening bugs using Gorgeous grape onto scrap pieces of white cardstock and diecut out and mount using dimensionals- Makani suggested colors its bottom yellow which was a great suggestion.  Use  Wink of stella to highlight the wings although it does bleed a bit still very pretty. 

I put some  Fine Sparkle adhesive backed Gems  ( retired from Stampin Up to add some sparkle. ) I really like that it is sort of flat although sparkly and easier to mail than some other gems.

Add a strip of white with sentiment stamped in Orchid oasis and mount on a strip of same to add some accent of color and mount.

 

Circle Sayings Birthday

 

This was one of the projects from Stampin with Lynda May- Take the basecard of thick white. Diecut a piece of Orchid Oasis using the Radiation Stitches die ( item 161595 on line only - order 24/7  https://lyndalee.stampinup.net/ )

Stamp the circle sentiment and the cupcake in the same colors just to add some interest to the background on top and bottom of the Orchid Oasis panel.

Stamp the circle sentiment and the cupcake on a piece of white and punch out using  2 3/8 inch circle punch. stamp another cupcake on a scrap piece of paper and fussy cut out and color in as you wish- here I used Orchid oasis on the bottom, daffodil light on the cake and I was inspired by Makani who suggested I do sprinkles instead of doing a solid frosting color- Brilliant!  I took the colors from the Flowers and more DSP to use for the sprinkle part.  I used the pen part of the stampin' blends to make the lines and the dots to mimic sprinkles.

Mount with dimensionals over the cupcake on the circle to make it pop a little. 

This is a variation on the card above using the DSP (retired) that looked like waves- basecard is thick white cardstock and cut a piece of DSP 5 1/2 x 3 and mount it on the left side of the cardstock. Take a white cardstock and stamp the waves image and sentiment over it as shown. color in withdaffocil and Balmy Blue stampin Blends . Take a piece of Copper Clay cardstosk and diecut  stylish shapes- second to the largest is about 2 5/8" (Reach for the Stars die set also has a lot of circles that would work as well)
