OSAT Blog Hop April 2021 Say What - Emphasis On Sentiment

 

Hi There Crafty Friends!  I'm super excited to be with the One Stamp At a Time Blog Hop Team with a Say What Project!  This theme is all about the sentiment and I knew exactly what stamp set I wanted to concentrate on for today's card!  I always need Thank You card and my very favorite stamp set "Ornate Thanks" is the perfect set for all types of Thank You sentiments!  I love Photopolymer Stamp Sets especially for sentiments!  This is one set I'll keep forever!

I used my Stampartus to stamp some diagonal sentiments tone-on-tone with just the right placement on my Pool Party background.  After I was pleased with the background stamping, I cut the panel with one of my stitched rectangle dies and then embossed it with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.  That layer was matted with the soon to be retired Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  Next, I used one of my Blending Brushes to ink blend some Pretty Peacock at the top of a strip of Pool Party Cardstock creating a Ombre effect by blending darker at the top of the strip.  Using the Playful Alphabet Dies I cut "THANKS" out once on the Ink Blended Strip and twice more in scraps of Pool Party so that I could build up the word to stand out more on my background.  I used Multipurpose Adhesive to adhere the layers of letters together and then used a T-Ruler to get a straight placement of the letters to adhere to the card panel with more of the glue.  Once all letters were placed, I added some Spritzes of Frost White Shimmer Paint mixed with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol for some fabulous Shimmer!

Here's a close of that Shimmery goodness!!  So pretty!  If you haven't tried the Shimmer Paint.. you really need to jump on the band wagon!  So Pretty!  I finished the matted layer off by adding some of the beautiful Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon around the panel tying it a bow on the right side of the card.  The panel was then added to the Pool Party A2 Cardbase with Dimensionals.  Last but certainly not least, I added three of the gorgeous Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems.

Finally, I added a little treat holder...

I used the gorgeous Fine Art Floral DSP along with the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Dies.  The label was punched in Pretty Peacock Cardstock with the Label Me Fancy Punch.  I added a Pool Party Tasteful Labels Diecut stamped with a sentiment from the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set.  The little flower was from the coordinating Hydrangea Dies.  I added the tag with some Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon and a Blue Adhesive-Backed Gem in the middle of the flower.  Super simple and so cute!

#scrappystriptechnique card with Stampin' Up! Ornate Thanks Stamp Set

Hello!  I hope you've had a wonderful day!  I just saw that the Amazing Kylie Bertucci posted a #scrappystriptechnique card challenge on her Facebook page.  This technique is the brainchild of Bruno Bertucci, Kylie's husband.  If you haven't watched Bruno's video on how to do this technique, click here!  This is a super fun way to use up extra cardstock or DSP scraps you have on hand!

On this first card I used Bruno's technique.  The hard part on this is leaving an equal amount of black background on all of the strips.  The colors I used were Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pretty Peacock and Whisper White.  My scrappy strip panel is 3 3/4" x 5" and was mounted on a 4" x 5 1/4" Basic Black matt and then added to a Melon Mambo Cardbase. The sentiments from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set was stamped in Melon Mambo and Perfect Peacock onto Whisper White and then cut with one of the small Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I added a little Snail and then looped some Whisper White Twine on the lower right side of the card and then popped the sentiment over it with Stampin' Dimensionals.  To finish this one off,  I colored 3 Gold Glitter Enamel Dots with my Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend Marker and added those to the Card Front.  I love the way this one turned out so I decided to make a second one...

For the second card, I put the cardstock pieces against each other and didn't leave the open area in between.  What do you think??

Instead of leaving the open areas with the black background, I added strips of black.  I used the same colors on this one as the first one.  I added two stitched circles cut from the Stiched Shapes Dies.  The thank you sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical Bundle and the flowers and leaves were cut from the dies in that bundle as well.  I also fun the panel with the Stitched Rectangles dies as well as a stitched rectangle matt and put it on a Basic Black Cardbase.  Which do you like better?  I really love them both!

The Spot Challenge #105 Sketch Challenge with The Ornate Garden Suite

Good morning and Happy Tuesday!  It's another working from home day for me.  Sometimes I wonder if things will eveer go back to normal or if this is becoming our new normal.  I just try to remember that we can learn and grow from these challenges.  I hope that you and your family are able to stay safe and virus free!  

Since it is Tuesday, it's time for another Challenge over at The Spot!  This week we have a new sketch and this one has been really fun to work with.  

I used some of the awesome new products from The Ornate Garden Suite on this one!  

I started off with a Terracotta Tile 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" half sheet of card stock that was scored at 4 1/4".  I added a 5 1/4" x 4" Old Olive Cardstock layer that was run through my Big Shot with the awesome Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  I ran a piece of Terra Cotta Tile ribbon, from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo pack, across the middle of the Old Olive layer and tied it in a knot on the right side before attaching it to the card base with multipurpose glue.  Using the smallest square in the Stitched Shapes Dies, I cut 3 squares of the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP, I then cut a scallop border using Layering Squares dies.  I attached the three squares each in a diamond pattern using Stampin' Dimensionals avoiding the ribbon by placing them over or under that section.  The sentiment "you're amazing" from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set was stamped onto a scrap of Terra Cotta Tile cardstock with Versamark Ink and then heat embossed in white.  I used one of  stitched rectangle dies to cut out the sentiment.  Since the rectangle was too wide and long, I cut it once to line it up under the sentiment to the right place on the left side and then ran it through a second time lining it up at the top of the sentiment and on the right side.  This allowed the sentiment strip to be just the right size.  I added three gold enamel glitter dots that had been colored with my Stampin' Blend Dark Old Olive marker.  The alcohol markers dry really fast when coloring in jewels or dots.. such a nice way to coordinate your embellishments to the color of your project!
