Flamingo Lingo March Play Day CASE

Hi, Friends,
Today I am sharing with you the fourth project we made at March Pay Day:


This card is a CASE of a card I received from Vikki Beck as a swap at the 2014 Stampin Up! Convention.  Here is the inside of the card:


Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Flamingo Lingo

CARDSTOCK:
     Strawberry Slush:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
     Crushed Curry:  4 x 5-1/4
     Strawberry Slush:  3-7/8 x 5-1/8
     Basic Black:  1-7/8 x 4-1/2
     Whisper White:  1-3/4 x 4-1/4
     INSIDE:

          Whisper White:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8
     SCRAPS:  Whisper White, Strawberry Slush

MARKERS:  Strawberry Slush, Basic Black, Crushed Curry

ACCESSORIES:  Lovely Lace Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Brayer, Sponge, Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Bitty Banner Framelits, Rhinestones

To make the embossed card stock, I inked up my brayer with Strawberry Slush Ink and inked up the "flat" side of the embossing folder.  I placed the Strawberry Slush card stock in the embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.  An awesome technique that is oh, so simple!

Happy stamping,

Petal Potpourri March Play Day Project!

Hi, Friends,
Today I am sharing with you a project we made using Petal Potpourri at March Play Day.  I was very pleased with the way this card turned out.


The inside of the card was kept simple:


Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Petal Potpourri, Gorgeous Grunge, Better than Email

CARDSTOCK:
     Sahara Sand:  4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2
     Whisper White:  4 x 4
     Something Borrowed DSP:  3-7/8 x 3-7/8
     Whisper White:  3-3/4 x 5
     SCRAPS:  Whisper White

INK:  Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand

ACCESSORIES:  Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Flower Medallion Punch, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Venetian Crochet Trim, Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Baker's Twine, Paper Snips, Sponge, Dental Floss Threader, Tombo Green Liquid Glue

I inked the Honeycomb Embossing Folder with the Crumb Cake ink, then stamped it onto the card front.  The "splatter" stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set was also inked up in the Crumb Cake ink and stamped over the front of the card.  I used a thin line of "green" glue to hold the gold sequin trim in place and then tied the Venetian Crochet trim just under the gold sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy stamping and scrapping,
Linda
