Garden Trellis Embossing Folder/Sunshine Wishes Wedding Card

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Wedding Card
 Hello, today I want to share with you a Wedding card I created using the the new Garden Trellis Embossing Folder, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits and Sweet & Sassy Framelits plus I can't forget the New gorgeous 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon.  Very simple card with layers of white on white, but I think is is so stunning. What do you think?



The base card is the heavy weight Whisper White cardstock with a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of  regular Whisper White Embossed cardstock.  The heart is glued on just in the middle at each point so that the sides of the heart raise up.  The little heart is glued just at the point on the big heart and 2 dimensionals are added at the rounded part of the heart.  Then the large heart is glued onto the embossed cardstock the same way as the little heart, gluing at the point and added 2 dimensionals at the rounded part of the heart.  The bow is attached with glue dots. The saying is 1/2" wide and rounded on each end with a circle punch.
 I think it would also be perfect for a Special Anniversary.

Products used: 

Stamp Set:  Beautiful Bouquet
Ink:  Basic Black
Cardstock: Heavy Weight Whisper White and Regular Whisper White
Framelits/Thinlits:  Sweet & Sassy, Sunshine Wishes
Accessories:  Garden Trellis Embossing Folder, 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon, Circle Punch  (mostly any size will work), Dimensionals

Bunch of Blossoms 3-Step Stamping

Welcome to Punchin' Up!


As you know..... I love to create Fun Fold cards and this card was just "itching to be made" with the new "Delightful Daisy" Designers Series Paper.  
I used 3-step stamping to create the flower and 2-step stamping for the leaves using the Stamp Set "Bunch of Blossoms".  I thought the flower resembled the flower in the Delightful Daisy DSP.
Stampin' Up! always lists the colors on the back cover page of their DSP which helps you know the color scheme. A great tool in designing your projects.  Well,  my creative side came out (sometimes that can be scary, LOL) and I went against it all.  I added my own color scheme of what I thought it looked like.  It lists Night of Navy and Calypso Coral which you can definitely see in the DSP, but I added Wisteria Wonder and Pumpkin Pie.
I love the color combination.
What do you think?


How I created the flower.
(3-step stamping)
I stamped the outline flower with Night of Navy, the solid image of the flower I used Wisteria Wonder stamping off and then stamping on the cardstock. To make the darker color (shading), I stamped with Wisteria Wonder directly on the cardstock with the 3rd stamp creating more depth.
Leaves
(2-step stamping)
The leaves are created using Old Olive for the outline stamp and Pear Pizzazz for the inside of the leaves. 
I layered the white cardstock on Night of Navy and then added it to the base card which is Wisteria Wonder.  The saying is stamped with Wisteria Wonder and layered with Pumpkin Pie.

Products used:
Stamp Set:  Bunch of Blossoms 
Ink:  Night of Navy, Wisteria Wonder, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz
Cardstock:  Wisteria Wonder, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie
DSP:  Delightful Daisy 
Accessories:  1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 1/2" Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Daisies

Welcome to Punchin' Up!


Bouquet of Daisies 

As I had mentioned in my earlier post this week I said I would post a picture of the gift I made for my friend.  Well here it is....

What do you think?  
It was so fun to make these flowers. I like the way it turned out.
Making daisies:
Each individual daisy is made by using 3 punched daisies.  Sponge the middle of each then you glue two together and punch a 1/16" hole in the middle of the third.  Make a circle loop in your florist wire and bend up. Hot glue the wire to the 2 glues daisies while the glue is still hot add the 3rd daisy by putting the wire in the hole and gluing it to the bottom of the flowers.  This covers up the wire loop.  Add your center Faceted Gold Gem. Now you have a finished daisy.
Purple Flowers: 
Each purple flower is basically made the same as the daisies, the only difference is that I cut each daisy petal in half , sponged all the flower petals and used 4-5 punched daisies to make each purple flower.

  
Products used:

Cardstock:  Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White 
Ink:  Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight 
Punch:  Daisy
Accessories: Sponge Daubers, Gold and Clear Faceted Gems,  5/8" Burlap Ribbon

Daisy Delight

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Daisies, Daisies and More Daisies

I want to share with you a project I made using the
New Daisy Punch.  It is so fun to use and you can be so creative in choosing your colors for the flowers.


I was thinking more "on the lines" about the up coming 4th of July Holiday when I found this cute little red jar, so I wanted white daisies. I added a touch of Daffodil Delight for the centers. I just couldn't wait to use the New Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon which goes right along with the 4th of July theme. But, if you wanted more color, just think how you could use Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, or Cajun Craze to make beautiful Gerber Daisies. The possibilities are endless.

Products used:

Cardstock:  Whisper White
Ink:  Daffodil Delight
Punches:  Daisy, 1/16" Handheld Punch
Accessories:  Sponge Daubers, New Gold Faceted Gems (florist wire from the local craft store)
Each individual daisy is made by using 3 punched daisies.  Sponge the middle of each then you glue two together and punch a 1/16" hole in the middle of the third.  Make a circle loop in your florist wire and bend up. Hot glue the wire to the 2 glues daisies while the glue is still hot add the 3rd daisy by putting the wire in the hole and gluing it to the bottom of the flowers.  This covers up the wire loop.  Add your center Faceted Gold Gem. Now you have a finished daisy.
