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.

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.

Eastern Palace Suite

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Eastern Beauty

Today I want to share with you a card I made for a Demonstrator Swap that I participated in using the Eastern Palace Suite.

I really like all the colors in the Eastern Palace Designers Series Paper, which is why I had a hard time choosing which sheet of DSP to use. I decided to use one of the New In-Colors Tranquil Tide as my cardstock base color along with a layer of Very Vanilla Cardstock and Tranquil Tide DSP from the Eastern Palace Suite.  The Gold Foil and Natural Gold Ribbon adds such an elegant look along with adding a strip of the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers.  Personally,  I'm not a big fan of stickers on cards, but I must say...I think the Gold Vinyl Strip added to the beauty of the card.

What are your thought?

Products used:

Stamp Set:  Eastern Beauty

Ink:  Tranquil Tide

Cardstock:  Tranquil Tide, Very Vanilla, Gold Foil

Designers Series Paper:  Eastern Palace

Thinlits:  Eastern Medallions Dies

Accessories:  Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers, 1/4" Natural Trim with Gold Metallic Center, Stampin' Dimensionals

High Tide Meets Seasonal Layers

Welcome to Punchin' Up!

Relaxing by the Waterfront

Today I want to share with you a card that I made for my Stampin' Up! Club using the Stamp Set "High Tide" and the "Seasonal Layers" Thinlits.  I got my inspiration from a card that I received in a swap (no name was on the back so I can't give her credit) and from many cards that I have seen online from other fellow demonstrators.  So with a combination of many ideas, colors, and a little twist of my own.... this is what was the finished card.

This was a great card to show how to use a few  colors of Ink, Stamping Sponges and Sponge Daubers to create a stunning waterfront.

  I wish I was sitting in that chair looking over the beautiful water, enjoying the cool breeze and the birds in the sky.  It just looks so relaxing.  

What do you think?

Products Used:

Stamp Set:  High Tide

Ink:  Marina Mist, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Basic Black

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Marina Mist, Soft Suede

Accessories:  Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Stamping Sponges, Sponge Daubers, Whisper White Bakers Twine.
