Day 2 Of My Monochromatic Series

Welcome to day 2 of my Stampin' Up! Project Life monochromatic series of card making.  Stampin' Up! And Becky Higgins teamed up together to make some amazing PL sets and for this mini series I am using Love Story.  Here is today's card.

I have used both the 6x4 and 4x3 cards for inside and out and added some sequin and Tim Holtz stickers to embellish.  Inside I used Smokey Slate to layer the 4x3 card and added a silver foil heart for balance and dimension.

I love this card, although a large sentiment it stays simple and classy.  I hope you have enjoyed this card.  This is Day 2 of 5, to see Day 1 scroll down to the previous blog and I hope you come back tomorrow to see Day 3.  Take care of you.

You're The Best

I am so addicted to making cards right now and using both My Favorite Things and my Stampin' Up! products is it any wonder.  Here is one I made yesterday and will be placing this into the MFT sketch challenge, my second entry and I am also submitting it to the new MFT Summer School challenge!

The base is Smoky Slate from Stampjn' Up! die cut from yep you guessed Blueprints 15 large stitched die.  Sweater Knit was then stamped with VersaMark, clear heat embossed then die cut and layered onto the base card.  I used a die from Blueprints 15.

A Stitched Round Rectangle die was used with retired DSP from SU.  A Watercolor Wings butterfly was stamped using 4 layers in Sahara Sand, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight then Midnight Muse in the centre.  This  was then die cut using the coordinating die.  A glassine butterfly was then die cut using the 2nd butterfly die from the set, adhered then pearl accents added.  Silver foil paper from SU was then used to die cut a Scribbles, which was adhered only in the centre with Glossy Accents before the butterfly was layered on top of a strip of Dimentionals.

Here is a side view where you can see all the layers.  A white peg from my stash was adhered using a Glue a Dot with a strip of silver foil hearts held underneath.  I used the Hearts Border punch from SU to achieve this.  The punched hearts were then adhered to the card using Glossy Accents.

Inside I again die cut layers in Smoky Slate and Whisper White with stitched dies then stamped a sentiment in Black Archival ink from the Watercolor Words stamp set.  Hearts were then added to embellish, two smaller in silver foil and a larger one using the Itty Bitty punch.  This was embossed silver on Whisper White using a Woodgrain stamp I had left from a previous project.  You can check that out here

As always my envelopes or not left and this one has hearts punched out in coordinating card and paper.  Great fun, I love keeping busy and seemed to have gotten over my blind spot from yesterday without the need for doing gardening, although the garden really needs done lol.

Happy days.  Take care of you.

Navy, Silver & Calypso Coral Card

Today's card looks at first glance as being plain and simple until you take a look inside!  On the outside I have used Night of Navy, Whisper White, Calypso Coral and Silver Foil card stock.    These have been die cut using my favourite Dienamics stitched framelits.  To embellish I have used Calypso Coral pom-poms, now retired and pearl accents.

When you look inside you will see a special charm which can be snipped off and put on something of your own choice.

The charm is a small silver tone heart stamped "made with love" with a small stamped heart.

Side view.

Fun and creative.  I absolutely love finding new and individual ways to create the cards I make.  I make each and every one with love and rarely make any more, so they are all entirely unique.  All my cards are for sale, simple visit my Facebook site or email me directly.  

I hope today has been full of giggles and fun.  Take care of you.
