Papertrey Ink Gran’s Garden

Today’s card share features two Papertrey Ink stamp sets – the Papertrey Ink Gran’s Garden and Papertrey Ink Pen and Ink.

I created this card for three challenges on  Splitcoaststampers.com.

1. Technique Lovers Challenge – Use bubble wrap,

2. Clean And Simple Challenge – Create a friendship card, and

3. Color Challenge – Use SU Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, and Pacific Point colors.

I used the Papertrey Ink Gran’s Garden Stamp Set to stamp, and double stamp, the floral images on the card in SU Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi, and Pacific Point inks. The sentiment, stamped in Pacific Point ink, is from the Papertrey Ink’s Pen & Ink stamp set.

I had a small piece of bubble wrap that I covered in Daffodil Delight ink and stamped on the upper-left and bottom-right corners.  I adhered three yellow floral sequins over the bubble wrap imprint on both corners.

This is a clean and simply card!  Enjoy!

Paper: Neenah White Card Stock and SU Pacific Point Card Stock

Hebrews 13:4 & 5

“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.  Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ “

Guneaux Designs Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Cardinal

Have you seen the Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly designer paper?  It is so gorgeous!  It is featured on this Guneaux Designs Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Cardinal card.

The Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection designer paper features cardinals, deer, snowflakes, poinsettias, wagon wheels, fence, holly, and much more.  If you want to get an early start on making Christmas cards for 2017, this beautiful paper is great to use and it won’t disappoint you!

To create this card, I cut a 6″ x 12″ piece of Stampin’ Up! (SU) Cherry Cobbler card stock and scored it at the 3″ and 6″ measurements to form my card base.  I used one of the 12″ x 12″ pieces of Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection designer paper and cut it into sections that fit onto the card base.

The second and third panel eventually will include a personal message for the recipient of the card.  The beautiful cardinal on the first panel is from the Hero Arts Color Layering Cardinal stamp set.  This cardinal goes perfectly with the Healtfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection Designer Paper as it features lots of cardinals.  I stamped the cardinal onto a circular piece of Neenah Solar White Card Stock with SU Rose Red and Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I added some pine needles, holly, and crystal clear glitter.  I used the  Heartfelt Creations Festive Holiday Die to cut two SU Wild Wasabi lacy die cuts, which I glued together.  I attached the cardinal piece to this and then to the front panel of the card.  I also added crystal glitter onto the lacy die cuts.

I submitted this card to the Splitcoaststampers.com Color Challenge to use SU Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, and Garden Green colors on a card, and a Free For All Challenge to create a “Winter in July” card.

To provide you with an idea about the designs on the Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection paper, the following are photos of it.

Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding Bells

Welcome to Guneaux Designs!  I hope you are having a good week.  As for me, I made my first Christmas card for 2017, and it features the Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding Bells.  Wedding bells on a Christmas card, you say?  Yes, they are wedding bells!  The Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding Bells are so beautiful and are perfect for a Christmas card as well as a wedding card.   Here’s my card:

To create the bells on the card, I covered the stamp with VersaMark Ink, stamped the image onto white card stock, covered the image with some gold and glittery embossing powder, and heat set it.  I used inks and a dauber to color them.  I used the Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding Bells die to cut out the image, as well as three additional sets.  I glued the four sets of bells together for dimension.

My next step was to use the Heartfelt Creations Festive Holly Collection designer paper to cover a red card base.  I first covered the card base with a piece of beige designer paper from the collection.  Then I cut a piece of holly, poinsettia, and cardinal designer paper from the collection, and cut that into two pieces using the Heartfelt Creations Classic Border Basics dies.  One of the pieces is on the top left of the card, and the other on the bottom right of the card.  I used the same die to cut the two red borders.

I created the sentiment using Microsoft Word, and cut it out using flag dies.  Then I assembled the card.

If you are looking for great designer paper, check out Heartfelt Creations paper collection.  Their designer papers are so beautiful, and they can do most of the work for you when creating cards.

Enjoy, and I would love to know what you think of the card!

Layered Die Cuts Technique – Guneaux Designs

Welcome to Guneaux Designs, and thanks for stopping by to see my card share today that showcases a Layered Die Cuts Technique.  This technique can be somewhat time consuming; however, it depends on the die you use.  This is my card using the Layered Die Cuts Technique.

 

The Layered Die Cuts Technique entails the use of the cut outs from a die.  For my card, I use a Neat & Tangled Scalloped Cover Plate Die and cut out the pieces from white card stock and multiple colors of card stock.

I laid the white die cut over a white panel and temporarily attached them together.  Then I began adhering the colored card stock cut outs in the appropriate spaces.  I glued a second layer of cut outs on each row.  Three or more layers would be best for dimension.  This would be easier to accomplish with a less-involved die.

To finish the card, I added various colors of sequins and a “grateful” sentiment that I cut from a piece of hologram paper that was adhered to a piece of foam.  The bottom three rows are covered with embossing accents.

I added the colorful panel to a turquoise card base using foam adhesive.

What are your thoughts about the card?

POWER POPPY APPLES IN SEASON DIGITAL STAMP

Welcome to Guneaux Designs!  Thanks for stopping in to see the latest project that I created with the Power Poppy Apples In Season Digital Stamp.  (Because the image is digital, I will not show it in my post – copyrighted.)  On Splitcoaststampers today, the Clean and Simple Challenge was to create a “fruity” card to celebrate National Pina Colada Day. This is my submission to the challenge.

I colored with Copic Sketch Markers the Power Poppy Apples In Season Digital Stamp image.  After coloring the image, I laid over it an Impression Obsession Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames die to cut the image into frames.  The die used is a single one that cuts the frames simultaneously.  After cutting the frames, I started gluing them to the card base. I added glue to the fourth frame and covered it with clear crystals. Hopefully that can be seen in the photo.

I used a CottageCut Expressions die, Sweet Phrase, to create the sentiment that I offset with red card stock.  I also covered that with glue and crystals.  My last addition to the card is the three pink crystal drops.

Thanks for stopping in to see my Power Poppy Apples In Season Digital Stamp card! Hope to see you back soon!

“Mark this:  There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lover of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power.  Have nothing to do with them.”

CottageCutz Mermaid (Elites) Die – Guneaux Designs

COTTAGECUTZ MERMAID (ELITES) DIE – GUNEAUX DESIGNS

Welcome to Guneaux Designs!  Today I am sharing a beautiful card I made featuring the CottageCutz Mermaid (Elites) Die.  I made this card to submit to two Splitcoastampers’ challenges; one is a color challenge and the other a sketch challenge.

Isn’t she beautiful?  I think so!!  She measures 2.2″W x 3″H; a perfect size for an A2 card.  I used products from the Hero Arts May 2017 Monthly Kit to create the background for the card.

The color challenge asked for use of SU Tranquil Tide, Silver, & Pool Party, with “Christmas in July” as dessert!  I passed on dessert to create an “underwater adventure” card.  Plus, I do not own SU’s Tranquil Tide; therefore, I substituted Emerald Envy.

 

The sketch challenge includes five panels plus a sentiment.  My card base is made from SU Pool Party card stock, the first panel is SU Emerald Envy, second is SU Brushed Silver, and third is a panel I created using Hero Arts supplies (from monthly kit) to develop an underwater scene. Panels four and five are the die cut seaweed and mermaid, on which I used the Inlay Technique. The seaweed was die cut from a sparkly paper included in the kit.

Here are the steps I followed to create the card:

I used the CottageCutz Mermaid (Elites) Die to cut out the mermaid.

I started coloring her with copic markers when I decided I wanted to use the Inlay Technique to create her.  Therefore, I attached a strong double-sided tape to the back of her and placed each of the tiny pieces from the cut out into the mermaid.  This is her after I finished.

I continued using copics to color the remaining of her body and her hair.

Notice the bottle of paint in the monthly kit in the picture above.  It looks like a bottle of nail polish.  I call the contents paint, but I am not sure of the composition as it is not described in the kit.  I used it to cover her top and tail (see above photo).  I also used Clear Wink of Stella over these sections.

 

Next I created the background by sponging a piece of white card stock with Hero Arts Oxide Inks.  After finishing, I spritzed water onto a stencil from the kit, laid it over the background, and covered it with a paper towel to quickly remove the excess water. This left the imprint of the stencil.  I added three fish to the panel using the stamps from the kit.

Then I started assembling the card.  I attached the background piece to my card that I had added a piece each of Stampin’ Up! Emerald Envy and Brushed Silver Card Stock.

Within the Hero Arts May Monthly Kit is a gorgeous shinny piece of light weight paper.   You can see it behind the mermaid in the second photo within the steps followed.

I used this paper and two dies from the kit to cut out strips of seaweed.  I added the seawead to the card front and then attached the mermaid on top of them using two layers of foam tape.

I finished the card by adding sequins from the kit and a sentiment.

Here is a tip for you regarding adding sequins to a card.

I typically use glue or glossy accents to attach sequins.  Sometimes this leaves glue or glossy accents on the card around the sequins.  Also, it does not take a lot of pressure to remove them.  This time I added them with glue dots.  They are securely attached, and removing them will be more difficult.  I think this method will allow the sequins to survive the snail mail process.  Try this tip and let me know what you think!
