Nature's Harvest Negative Image

I saw a version of this card that took the "negative image" from a die cut and used it in a card! We usually use the die cut, and toss the "waste", but this card uses the "waste" for the card! (I put the die cut inside!) For this card, I used the returning Harvest Dies with the retiring Harvest Meadow DSP. I do like how it turned out. I'll be looking at my dies differently in the future!

Measurements:

Soft Succulent: 1/2 sheet
Harvest Meadow DSP: 4" x 5 1/4" (soft succulent print), 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (coral print)
Basic White: 2 3/8" x 4 7/8"

To Make This Card:

Attach DSP to folded Soft Succulent card.
Cut desired die from White piece. Save the die cut, and run the "negative" through the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
Attach this piece to the Coral DSP. If using the "thistle" be extremely careful with the details. You might want to use the Multipurpose Glue and a sponge dauber for this.
Attach this piece to card where desired. I chose the center, but offset to the left would be nice, too.
Finish with a bow of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and Pearls.

Flowering Fields DSP: 2 pcs @ 1 7/8"+ x 4" (dots) and another with the (tulips)
Basic Black: 2" strip

Darling Little Ladybugs

I'm back!! I thank you for your patience as I got Amanda (and Missy) settled back in to the Quad Cities! She started her new job today, and I got back to stamping (yesterday)!! The new Mini Catalog and SAB Brochure go LIVE tomorrow!! There's so much that I want to share with you!

This first card I created for my dear ladies at the Senior Facility where I have classes! I think they'll LOVE it! It uses the new Litlle Ladybug stamp set and punch! So, adorable!! I also added the Host DSP Pattern Party that I haven't used in AGES, but is still available!! Perfect to use with this bundle! This card could be used for so many occasions. Your choice of sentiment will say it all!! Stay tuned to more funness as I get back to work!

Measurements:

Poppy Parade: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1 1/2" strip (opt) (wings)
Pattern Party DSP: 4" square (floral/hearts), 1 1/4" x 4" (check/stripe)
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (rectangle), 1 1/2" strip (wings)
Basic Black: 2" strip (body)

To Make This Card:

Fold Poppy Parade card in half. Trim 1 1/4" from bottom of the front of card. Toss this piece, or save for "wings" if you want colored cardstock wings.
Attach Basic White to inside.
Attach DSP square to front, and 1 1/4" coordinating strip to the lower, inside edge over the White layer.
Cut largest Stitched So Sweetly rectangle from piece of White.
Punch "ladybug" body from Basic Black. I stamped the "wings" in Poppy Parade. One I did on White and one I did onto Poppy Parade (so I knew placement of black "dots"). I, then, punched this out with the coordinating punch.
Assemble together. Set aside.
Decide a sentiment that you would like on your card! One uses the stamp set BIggest Wish in Black & Poppy Parade, the other uses Sunny Sentiments in Black. But you can use whatever you have, for whatever occasion you need!!
Once stamping is complete, add your darling Ladybug. I popped mine up with Dimensionals!
Center the rectangle on the card, and carefully attach to top layer only!!
Finish with Black Bling of your choice! On one I used retired Black Rhinestones in 3 sizes, on the other, I used current Black Matte Dots in 2 sizes.
If desired, add a bow of your choice. One uses our current Black Gingham ribbon, and the other is retired Poppy Parade.
