Modified Cut Apart Card

I hadn't done this card design in AGES and thought it would be perfect for my stampers at our Care Center.  I will probably also be using it in my Fun Fold Class, because it is such a classic! This one uses the gingham DSP from the Pansy Petals DSP in the Annual Catalog with the Color and Contour Bundle!

• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2" x 3 3/8"
• Pansy Petals DSP: 2 pcs @ 2" x 4"

To Make this Card:

• Score Fresh Freesia base at 2 1/4" from each end. Attach DSP strips
• Attach While layer to inside
• Cut Stitched Scallop Rectangle from Fresh Freesia piece.
• Stamp floral image to White rectangle with Memento Ink.  Color with Blends as shown.  Attach to Scallop Rectangle.
• Close card, and lay rectangle in place.  Attach upper portion to top of card.

Special Card

I received this card from my Stampin' Up! District Manager, congratulating me on earning the cruise!  So thoughtful, and unexpected.  I just love it!  I had to go through the catalogs to find out what stamp set he used. I wanted to share it with you, as the layout could be used with so many sets and papers!  I had a long, tiring week of teaching, ending with a nasty cold/sinus..  Hope to be back in my stamp room SOON!!  In the meantime, enjoy this from the home office!

Color & Contour Blends & Alcohol Marbling

 So, I saved this one for last, since it is my Shoebox Swap for the retreat I am attending in the Ozarks! The participants will actually have the opportunity to TRY this technique, and then make a card with it!  It uses the Scalloped Contour dies AND the Color & Contour stamps - that I didn't purchase with the bundle, but went back and added it later.  Boy, am I glad I did!  This stamp set is AWESOME!!

Measurements:  

• Polished Pink (N): 1/2 sheet
• Vellum: 1/4 sheet
• Highland Heather: 2 3/4" x 4"
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2 3/4" x 4"

To Make This Card:

• Take the 2 (or more) Darkest Blends, and randomly color all over the vellum. I place it on my silicone sheet! Now, take a paint brush or Aqua Painter or Water Brush and dab the 91% Alcohol on top of the blends.  Allowing the colors to bleed.  Set aside to dry, or dry with a heat tool.  Note: I find it curls more if allowed to dry naturally.
• Cut Stitched Scallop from Basic White.  Stamp 1 flower in Basic Gray, it just fits!. Stamp the "color" in stamped off Polished Pink, or for darker color, stamp full strength.  I colored in the "leaves" with the Lt Soft Succulent Blend. Adhere to Highland Heather piece.
• Now, trim Vellum piece to 4" x 5 1/4", trimming away any edges where the ink may have pooled. And attach to Basic White piece with Multipurpose Glue.
• Attach "marble" piece to folded Polished Pink card.   Add the Highland Heather rectangle to the card with Dimensionals.
• Finish with Wink of Stella in the center of the "flowers". and a bow in Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon.
