Happy Veteran's Day Friends!
Today I'm sharing the cards that I made Thursday night. My focus was on the Shining Brightly Designer series papers and Navy/Gold Glittered ribbon. I had planned for this to be a Stamp-a-Stack class, but alas - inventory unavailability got me again. :( You can still copy my card designs with your own materials - maybe even change up the papers and colors! I used four different stamps, and couple of die sets.
Just a reminder that I am generally Live on-line every Thursday at 8:00pm ET. I am streaming to BOTH YouTube and Facebook simultaneously.
If you are not able to catch me live, you can watch over on YouTube. If the picture does not appear below, you can click HERE to get to it on YouTube.
First up is a set of "stained glass angel" cards. I used the Countryside Corners dies to cut out the frame. Emboss the image on vellum in GOLD, then color on the back side with markers for the stained glass effect.
The one on the left was my prototype, and the one on the right is the one I made live. Lighter vs darker. Which do you like better?
Paper measurements:
- Very Vanilla Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2”, scored and folded in half at 4 1/4”
- Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
- Vellum (cardstock): 3 3/4" x 5"
- Very Vanilla: 1" x 4"
I didn't add any doo-dads to this one, because that paper looks embellished already. I did add Clear Wink of Stella to the angel's wings.
Stamps: So Very Merry, Ringed with Nature
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Very Vanilla (Thick and regular), vellum, Shining Brightly designer series paper
Other: Countryside Corner dies, Metallic embossing powders (gold), various markers, Clear Wink of Stella marker
My second card might be my favorite from this batch because they're just so striking with all those gold trees on the Night of Navy back drop. The designer series paper creates the perfect background for this card. Die cut some gold glitter trees, and emboss a greeting to pop up.
Paper measurements:
- Night of Navy: 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”, scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
- Very Vanilla: 4” x 5 1/4", for inside of card
- Night of Navy: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
- Gold Glitter paper: scraps to die-cut trees
- Night of Navy: scraps to stamp/emboss/hand-cut greeting
I added a couple of Sparkle Gems, but they get kind of lost on that background...so maybe don't bother. Star Trinkets would have been perfect, if they hadn't completely run out of inventory.
Stamps: Merry Christmas to All (retired)
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, Gold Glitter, Shining Brightly Designer Series paper
Other: Navy & Gold 3/8" Glittered ribbon, Sparkle Gems
The third set of cards is done two ways. My prototype is the one on the left - navy vase, vanilla layer. I decided to make the one on the right live and have everything opposite...so vanilla base, navy layer. Even placed the rectangles of DSP opposite.
Paper measurements:
- Night of Navy/Very Vanilla Thick: 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”, scored and folded in half at 4 1/4”
- Basic White: 4” x 5 1/4”, for inside of card (only needed in the Navy card)
- Very Vanilla/Night of Navy: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Very Vanilla/Night of Navy: 3 3/4" x 5"
- Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper: (4) 1 7/8" x 2 1/2" - you want 2 navy and 2 vanilla prints
- Night of Navy/Very Vanilla: scraps to punch out for greeting
Gold emboss the greeting, no matter which color you use. Add a swoop of Navy/Gold Glittered ribbon to the card front before you pop your greeting on top. I think I did add some gems to the card on the right - but again, they kind of get lost in that beautiful paper.
Stamps: Throughout the Year
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla (thick and regular), Shining Brightly Designer Series paper
Other: Decorative punch, 2" circle punch, Navy & Gold 3/8" Glittered organdy ribbon, Metallics embossing powders (gold)
The last set of cards was also done two ways. My prototype is the one on the top done in Very Vanilla. Bottom card is the one I made live in Night of Navy. These are Floating Cards...VERY COOL if you haven't seen this before. Watch the video. You need a piece of acetate or transparency to glue the little strips of DSP on, then use Foam Adhesive Strips to pop that acetate layer up on your card front. It's really cool - but does not picture well
Paper measurements:
- Very Vanilla (Thick)/Night of Navy: 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”, scored and folded in half at 4 1/4”
- Basic White: 4” x 5 1/4”, for inside of card (only needed in the Navy card)
- Night of Navy/Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Acetate/Transparency sheet: 3 3/4" x 5"
- Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper: 3/8" strips from 2 different patterns
- Gold Foil: scraps to die-cut words and deer for the Navy card.
- Very Vanilla/Night of Navy/Gold Foil: scraps to stamp greeting
The greetings (stamps and dies) are from a retired bundle called Merry Christmas to All. I love the ability to mix and match stamps and die-cut words. I die-cut the words out of Gold Foil AND the white cardboard backer that comes in most packs of designer series paper. Glue those together, to make things a little sturdier. Then glue to the card front.
Stamps: Merry Christmas to All Bundle (retired)
Ink: Night of Navy
Paper: Night of Navy, Very Vanilla (thick and regular), Gold Foil, Acetate/Transparency sheets, Shining Brightly Designer Series paper
Other: Deer die (Gina Marie Designs), Gilded Gems, Very Vanilla & Gold Sheer ribbon
I love these cards, and am still bummed that I couldn't get the supplies to provide any class packets for you. I do hope you copy my card designs using your own stash supplies!
