Summer Love and Affection


Have to say... that my Affectionately Yours class was a success!  I hope those ladies who attended will agree with me;)  This is another of our cards we created.  It started with a "card map" which used punched hexagons of patterned paper...I swapped in images from the Love & Affection stamp set. And it was easy to pick the colors to use...the ones featured in the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (a.k.a. DSP). See below for the colors we used.  


On the card base front I trimmed off a 1/2" from the bottom.  On the inside of the card, I adhered a 3/4" strip of the DSP at the bottom.  The Whisper White layer measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" so that's how you get the little strip of Cucumber Crush at the top of the card.

Come on by to the Fox Lake McDonald's this Sunday, May 22, 2016 from noon until 2:00 p.m. and help us Make a Difference!  With your $3 donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities, you'll get to create a bookmark and two of these cards (one to keep and one to donate to a Ronald McDonald House).  We'll be using the RMHC Sprinkles of Life stamp set and coordinating Tree Builder punch.

Got to give a shout-out to Dawn Olchefske for the card idea.  LOVE it!  So quick & easy...and yummy!  And don't miss out on the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack...it's retiring at the end of this month.

A little Valentine note

Gotta love little notes!  This one measures 2 3/4" x 4"....you can get four little notes out of one sheet of card stock.  Slice off a 1/2" from the short side of CS (the 8 1/2" side) and then cut the four card bases along the 11" side at 2 3/4" ...you'll get exactly four!  Save the 1/2" strip for the greeting banner as shown above.

We made this card at my last Stamp Camp.  We used a watercolor wash with the emboss resist technique: emboss the hearts and then apply the ink with an Aquapainter or watercolor brush, the hearts will "resist" the color.

This card was inspired by my friend Marisa's beautiful creations here: Dzines by MEG  She's one of Stampin' Up!'s  Artisan Award winners (for the second time!).
