Sun Prints Thank You Card #2

 

Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog! And thank you so much for voting my card into the Top Ten in Kylie Bertucci's May International Blog Highlights competition!! Because of that, I get to participate in Kylie's Top Ten Winners Hop! I am so excited to be part of a group of such talented designers from all around the world. (I have posted my winning card at the bottom of this blog entry, in case you haven't seen it.)


Sun Prints Thank You Card #2


One of my new favourites in the new catalogue is the Sun Prints Suite Collection. The products can be purchased individually, as a bundle (stamps and dies), or as a collection (stamps/dies bundle, the gorgeous Sun Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Fern 3D embossing folder). Remember that you save some money when you buy the bundle or suite options. Shopping links are listed below the directions for my card. 😊


I absolutely love the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper (see the bottom of this post), which is what prompted me to buy this collection. I used this gorgeous DSP, the Fern 3D embossing folder for the background, as well as some of our new Starry Sky 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon for my card.


Here is another sentiment option--this label is Pacific Point, and I added a white label (cut from one of our Stylish Shapes dies), for the "Hello there" sentiment.

This is the Sun Prints Suite Collection. Click on the photo to
see this collection of products in my online store. They can
be purchased individually--see my shopping links below.

Full Directions for My Sun Prints Card #2:
  1. Cut the following layers:
    • Night of Navy cardstock: 8-1/2"x 5-1/2" (scored at 4-1/4")
    • Gray Granite cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4" (wipe Gray Granite ink pad across top inside face (the side with the Stampin' Up! logo) of the folder and then emboss with Fern 3D embossing folder)
    • Sun Prints DSP: 4" x 2-1/4" (die cut top edge with Scalloped Contours die)
    • Basic White: 3" x 1-1/2" (for sentiment )
  2. Adhere DSP with Seal to embossed Gray Granite layer.
  3. Wrap 5" piece of 1/8" Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon over bottom edge of DSP, and tape to back. If desired, first tie a bow in the ribbon (use a longer piece of ribbon).
  4. Use Seal to adhere embossed layer to Night of Navy card base.
  5. Stamp sentiment with Pacific Point ink on Basic White label, and add to card front with Dimensionals.
  6. Add three Pearl Basic Jewels to card front.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - 2022-2023 New Annual Catalogue Sun Prints/Pretty Prints Card!!

Welcome to our May Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! We are all super-excited about our brand-new 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue, which you can see using the link (click on the photo of the catalogue) in the right side bar! We have a family of 5 new colours (our "In Color" items), which we are featuring in this month's blog hop! I have decided to make my card using Sweet Sorbet.




One of my new favourites in the new catalogue is the Sun Prints Suite Collection. The products can be purchased individually, as a bundle (stamps and dies), or as a collection (stamps/dies bundle, the gorgeous Sun Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP), and the Fern 3D embossing folder). Remember that you save some money when you buy the bundle or suite options. 


I absolutely love the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper (see the bottom of this post), which is what prompted me to buy this collection. I used Pretty Prints, a coordinating DSP in several additional colours, because of this lovely Sweet Sorbet print. I used the Fern 3D embossing folder for the background.


I coloured our White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon with a Light Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends. Full directions for this card are below.

Here is the gorgeous Pretty Prints DSP package!

Paradise Palms Sunset Thank You Card

Paradise Palms Sunset Thank You Card


I am really happy that the Paradise Palms Bundle carried over into the new Annual Catalogue! If you've visited my blog before, you'll know that I love ocean and sunset cards! I just ordered this stamp set and dies recently, and hadn't used them yet, so I thought I'd give it a go for this month's contest!

Here's a photo that shows the shine on the water better.

This was a fairly quick card to make. Our Blending Brushes are so easy to use, and help you create gorgeous backgrounds, like the one above. I masked the sun, and added Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Polished Pink, and Highland Heather in circles around the sun. Next, I masked the sky with a Post-it Note, and added Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point to the water with Blending Brushes. The island, trees, sentiment, and birds were stamped with Tuxedo Black ink. Wink of Stella adds some extra shine to the water!


The cool border is cut with one of the Palms dies, and the card front is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals above the frame. Full directions are below.

Thanks so much for stopping by--and for voting!!! If you like my card, please click here--then remember to click on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#10) until the heart turns red--that way you know that your vote is registered:


Full Directions for My Paradise Palms Card:
  1. Cut the following layers:
    • Bermuda Bay cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"
    • Shimmery White cardstock: 5" x 3-3/4"--die cut with second largest Stitched Rectangles die
    • Basic Black cardstock: 5-3/4" x 3" (cut 4 lattice pieces)
  2. Cut a 1" circle from a Post-it note to use as a mask for the sun. Use Blending Brushes to add ink around the circle (Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Polished Pink, and Highland Heather). Remove mask, and add a little Daffodil Delight over the sun.
  3. Cover the sky with a large Post-it note, and add Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point to the water. Add some waves with Pacific Point (using the fence stamp from On the Horizon), and some Wink of Stella to the water. 
  4. Stamp the sentiment, birds (both from On the Horizon), island, and trees (both from Paradise Palms) in Tuxedo Black.
  5. Glue the lattice pieces to the edges of the Bermuda Bay card base, trimming the vertical pieces to fit.
  6. Adhere the card front to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  7. Add three Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to card front.
