Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Lisa Curcio

Welcome back to my blog

I am taking part today in a blog hope with guest Lisa Curcio along with some other talented people from the Crazy Crafters Group. We are all choosing a project from Lisa's blog to CASE (Copy And Selective Edit)

 You will find a list at the end of my blog for you to follow. 

FYI you are currently here with me Kim Oliver.

 The project I have chosen to CASE is this one below

The elements chosen from this card is basically the layout design. I made 4 cards for my CASE and I will now share them with you.

 For each card I chose my paper before cutting it as shown in pictures. I chose DSP pieces that I could mix and match, so that some cards would be more red and others more white. I then used the contrasting colour for the layer beneath, red for mostly white DSP and white for mostly red DSP.

'Sealed WITH A Kiss' 2

With the card above I cut the 'Sealed WITH A Kiss' stamp into 3 sections so I could stamp the sentiment where I wanted it.
I can still use this stamp as a whole...which you can see in the image below.

I try to carry through the theme from the front of each card to the inside, as I feel this adds a little something more for the recipients.

Wedding Bells and Stitched Shapes Framelits

Welcome Back 

Over the last weekend I was lucky enough to participate in yearly 2 day local market event. I  met some lovely new people and gained some new contacts and customers too. I had a few requests for wedding cards with a natural and also classy feel.

I thought I would enter this card into this weeks Global Design Challenge as the layout fits the one they have.

I chose to use the new *Stitched Shape Framelits* (note at end of blog) for this card to create the background heart behind the Bloomin' Hearts detailed die. 

If you look closely you can see that I have layered 2 circles and a square to create the heart shape.

"WEDDING BELLS"

#Stitchedshapesframelits #Seasonalbells #Bloominlovebundle #Fabulousfoilacetate #Weddings #Love #Giftsoflove #Fromtheheart #KOCreationscards

You can see that I chose to emboss my bells in gold. 

I also embossed the sentiment too, but first I stamped it in Stazon Black and then roughly sanded the surface to give a tarnished look. I also did that for the inside floral heart design. 

The colors of Vanilla, Black, Crumb Cake and Gold combine so well together for that natural yet classy effect that was requested.

 "INSIDE VIEW"

#Stitchedshapesframelits #Seasonalbells #Bloominlovebundle #Fabulousfoilacetate #Weddings #Love #Giftsoflove #Fromtheheart #KOCreationscards

I added a Natural Trim (GOLD) piece of ribbon to the bells on the front and around the back of the card, just to add that little extra detail. I could then also add  names or a date to a tag to sit inside, just to personalize this card even more.

"OPEN VIEW"

I hope you have enjoyed my card today.

Now without further ado I will share with you my card design for this weeks #GDP061 challenge.

'A DAY ALL ABOUT YOU'

#Stitchedshapesframelits #Birthdayblossoms #GDP061 #Vellumwindow #Inspiredbynature #Madewithlove #Giftofgiving

Now as you can see, or rather can't see, the stitched detail in the photo above isn't at all visible, as it was created using Basic Black card stock. But IRL it is quite visible, and also very tactile.

So I thought I would try this, to show you a closer shot of the detail. 
Hmmm it helps a little. 
You can click on the image to make it bigger still!

#Stitchedshapesframelits #Birthdayblossoms #GDP061 #Vellumwindow #Inspiredbynature #Madewithlove #Giftofgiving

A quick rundown of how I made the card:

• Materials:

1 x A4 Basic Black Card stock folded in half then cut to 10.5 cm
1 piece Sweet Sugarplum card stock cut to 10 x 14.5 cm
2 pieces of Thick White card stock cut at 9.5 x 10cm

1 x small scrap piece of Emerald Envy card stock.

1 piece of vellum cut at 9 x 9.5 cm

Clear embossing powder

Versamark Ink

Black Stazon Ink

Sweet Sugarplum Ink

Blossom Punch and the Pansy Punch

Flourish Thinlits
Glue dots
Black Bakers Twine

• Directions:

Get the 2 3/4 inch Stitched framelit and find a circle framlelits, the one slightly smaller than the stitched Shape. 

Place the smaller Layering Circle where you would like your circle to be on you card front and run through the big shot.

Then before cutting anymore lay the white card stock under the circle and carefully mark it. 1 piece at a time, so that you know where to place your stamps. Place your card in your misti and stamp the selected image on both cards. 

REMEMBER you are only cutting the circle from one piece of the white card stock! The other piece is your inside image!

Using the same framelit cut out your circle accordingly. This leaves you with a small part of the image left on the front of your card.

To make a couple of frames for your cutout shapes both inside and out, you will need to start by first cutting your circles with the stitched Shapes framelit in your chosen colours. Then placing the smaller Layering Circle over the cut out shape, 'NOT THE NEGATIVE IMAGE'  hold in place with a piece if tape and re-cut. This will give you your stitched frame edge. Glue in place as desired.

• For the vellum image.

Again position your vellum under the front cut out shape and gently mark with a pencil.

Using your embossing buddy dust the vellum sheet. Stamp your selected image by placing your stamp in Versamark then the Stazon. Dust with clear embossing powder, tap of excess then heat with heat tool.

Colour your image from the underside of the vellum, adding accents and highlights to the front of the image.
