WHAT I LOVE

Sunday Project #2

I had such high hopes for this one...

And I used such nasty words...

Have I ever mentioned that two-step stamps and I sometimes don't get along..?

However - I want you to know that the Stampin' Up! notecards are the best deal in our catalogue... You get twenty  3 1/2" x 5" cards, and envelopes for $7.50!!

You can make 5 sets of four cards out of each pack!!!

Supplies:

Cardstock:
Package of Notecards
Melon Mambo cut 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" for each card
Whisper White cut 3" x 4 1/2" for each card

Stamp Set:
What I Love (Sale-a-bration)

Ink:
Melon Mambo
Garden Green/Wild Wasabi
Crushed Curry
Black Memento

Directions:

1. Cut cardstock as directed.

2. Stamp flower outline from 'What I Love' onto post-it note or other thin paper. Cut out. This will be used as a mask.

  

3. Place the flower mask on your Whisper White sheet in the centre left of the paper (see photo - place the mask where the left hand flower is placed)

4. Stamp a flower outline using Black Memento ink directly onto the mask and cardstock slightly to the right and lower than the mask.

5. Using the filler stamp, and Melon Mambo ink, line up the arrow at the top and stamp onto the flower outline you have previously stamped (leaving the mask in place). Insert swearing if necessary. (This is where I started forgetting to take photos - wouldn't have helped in any case!!)

6. Remove the mask and reposition it over the flower you have just stamped. Using Black Memento Ink, stamp a second flower to the left and higher than the first. (See photo). 

7. Use Melon Mambo - but stamping off once - to stamp the filler image onto the second flower on the left. (see photo) 

8. Place a mask on each flower. Using the longest leaf image and your choice of green ink, stamp leaves around the flowers as shown in the photo.

9. Use the tiny flower image and Crushed Curry ink to stamp flowers around the larger images.

10. Using the 'thank you' sentiment and Memento Black ink, stamp to the left of the main flowers.

11. Glue Whisper White stamped cardstock to Melon Mambo mat. Attach both to the front of the note card.

6. Add three Basic Black Candy Dots to the bottom right of the DSP (or the cardstock if you had to cut it smaller...)

7. Using the 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White cardstock, stamp the 'My Friend' sentiment (from Hello stamp set - Sale-a-bration) in Black Memento ink. Stamp clouds with Black Memento ink.

Ghiradelli Sketched Dot Bag Favour

Wasn't sure what to call this - is there an official name for it?

Supplies:

Cardstock: 
Whisper White cut 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Whisper White scrap for tag
Watercolour Paper

Designer Series Paper: Botanical Gardens

Ink: Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Chocolate Chip, Basic Black

Two-sided tape, dimensionals, Snail

Embellishments:
Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag
Candy Dots (Cajun Craze)

Directions:

1. Score the gift bag lightly at 2 1/4" from the bottom. Fold and glue sides with two-sided tape.

2. Cut the DSP 1 1/4" x 10". Score at 2" and 6 3/4".

3. Stamp the large flower from the Birthday Blooms stamp set using Stazon Black Ink and Watercolour paper.

You can choose whatever colours you wish, I used Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango for the flowers, Chocolate Chip for the 'things' on the right, and Old Olive for the leaves.

Once the ink is dry, cut out the design.

4. Using the scraps of Whisper White and Cajun Craze, use the middle die from each of the Tags & Labels (Tags) framelits.

5. Using the sentiment from the Birthday Blossoms stamp set, stamp 'dear friend' in Old Olive on the Whisper White.

Use the smallest flower from the stamp set and stamp it on Daffodil Delight ink, then touch the edges of the stamp on Tangerine Tango ink. Stamp onto the top right of the Whisper White tag.

Place a Candy Dot (Tangerine Tango) in the middle of the flower.

6. Using the 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Whisper White punch the top two corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch (gosh, has that retired?!! Sorry!)

Then stamp the sentiment with Old Olive, and the dots with Tangerine Tango.

7. Wrap the DSP around the centre of the folded up section of the bag, with the ends overlapping in the front. Attach the cut out flower and the tag to the DSP with dimensionals.

Tuck the large Whisper White cardstock in the large pocket in the back, and tuck Ghiradelli Chocolates in the small pocket in the front. (Or a gift card, or cash, or anything else that's flat).

Can you tell the Ghiradelli Chocolates are fussy cut photos of the real thing???
