The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Graphic 45 Mon Amour Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

I used some of the beautiful papers from the Graphic 45 Mon Amour 8 x 8 Paper Pad.  Mon Amour means 'My Love' in french so this card could be used for a Valentine or Anniversary.  For the background I used a piece of the dark gray paper with the script and then I layered a floral paper on the bottom half.  I layered the pattern paper on to some deep red cardstock that was a prefect match to some of the flowers. Next, I added some Black Seam Binding across the paper to cover up where the layeres meet.  Then I added the paper layers to a black A2 top folding card base.

Before I added the image of the man and woman to the front of the card I went over all of the flowers on the pattern paper and the main image with a Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush Pen.  Then I went over all of the flowers again with some Ranger Glossy Accents.

Here is a close up of the main image that I layered on top of some deep red cardstock.  I used Therm-O-Web Foam Squares in between the paper layers.  

To finish off the card I added a black seam binding bow on the side.  Then I also added some  Prima Interlude Black/Gray Flowers and My Mind's Eye Necessities Black & Gray Enamel Dots.

This card came together pretty quick and with all of the cut apart images in the paper pad you would be able to create several cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the card share.  Don't forget to check out The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of you paper crafting supplies.  Also visit the Stamp Simply Blog to see more inspiration from the design team.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Hello Gorgeous I Love You Valentine Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) Valentine card to share with you.

Here is the card I designed.  I used some of the pretty papers from the My Mind's Eye - Hello Gorgeous paper collection.  Whenever I am using pattern paper I usually pick two or three different patterns--a bold print, a smaller print, and another print that is close to a solid color or a has a very subtle print.

I used white cardstock and Floral Affair die from Spellbinders to die cut the floral heart.  Then, I applied Delicata Golden Glitz ink to the die cut using a sponge.  Next, I added Ranger Super Fine Clear Embossing Powder and used a heat tool to melt the embossing powders.  I repeated adding the ink and embossing powders two more times.  Doing this adds more dimension to the die cut.

Here is a close up.  The added layers from from the embossing powder give the die cut a faux metal look or a chipboard look depending on the color of embossing powder that is used.  To embellish the wreath I added some Melissa Frances White Pearls to the center of several flowers.  I also added small bits of Foam Squares to the back of the wreath for some extra dimension.

For the sentiment I used stamps from the Altenew - Painted Rose clear stamp set.  I used the same  Delicata Golden Glitz and stamped the sentiment on to a piece of  Vellum but I used a different embossing powder.  For the sentiment I used Ranger Super Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder.  You can see the difference in how the gold looks using different embossing powders.  The clear embossing powder show the true color of the Delicata ink which is more of a golden yellow.  I thought that would bring out the yellow in the flowers on the pattern paper.  Also when you are heat embossing on vellum make sure that your heat tool is good and hot before bringing it to the vellum.  Doing this will help to keep the vellum from warping a lot.  I wrapped the vellum around the bottom half of the paper and taped it in the back.  I also added a few more Melissa Frances White Pearls by the sentiment.

Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope you like the Valentine card I shared.  Please be sure to visit The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store for all of your paper crafting goodies.  Also check out the Stamp Simply Blog to see more inspiration from the design team.

I hope you have a wonderful day and a fantastic weekend!

Hugs & Smiles,

Here is the card I designed using the  Graphic 45 Mon Amour Collection 8 x 8 Paper Pad.  All of the paper except for the black cardstock is from the paper collection.  I fussy cut a couple of the beautiful images and a sentiment and then layered them with black cardstock.  The card base is a black top folding 5.5 x 5.5 and I added a couple layers of the pattern paper from the collection.

Here is a close up of the images.  I added some Prima Flowers Interlude Black/Gray and KaiserCraft Fairy Floss Mini Paper Blooms for embellishments.  The Prima flowers are so pretty and they come with a light dusting of glitter on them.  I also added a few Melissa Frances White Pearls around the images and the sentiment.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Adore Valentine's Day Card

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  Valentines day will be here before we know it.  During this week the design team will be showcasing some of the beautiful Valentine papers.  So be sure to check out all of the posts over on the Stamp Simply Blog for lots of Valentine inspiration.

Here is the card I designed using the gorgeous papers from the Authentique Adore 6 x 6 Paper Collection.  I love this paper collection--beautiful images and colors in all of the papers.  I used one of the Wilton 4 in White Doily and applied some of the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Spun Sugar around the edges.  I added that on top of the paper and then I added one of the cutouts from that paper collection.  I added layers of pink and ivory cardstock to the back of the image and also for the card base.  Then I added the May Arts 1.5" Printed Ribbon - With Love Pink.  This ribbon is so soft and pretty and I love the gold foil printed With Love.

I used flowers from a couple of different packages of Petaloo Botanica Collection.  The larger flower is from the Mums & Butterflies Pink.  The smaller flowers are from the Botanica Minis Fuchia.

To tie in for the gold on the ribbon I added some May Arts Gold Metallic String behind the flowers.  Then to finish off the card I added some Melissa Frances Cream Pearls.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - Lots of Love Valentine Card - Crate Paper Hello Love

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have a CAS (Clean And Simple) Valentine's Day card to share with you using some of the new papers from the Crate Paper - Hello Love collection.  I know we are just barely in to the New Year but Valentine's Day will be here before we know it. :)  One of the great things about Valentine's papers is for the most part a lot of the collections can be used all throughout the year.  Several collections have floral prints and yes hearts but hearts can be used for several things--anniversary, birthday, I love you or even all occasions cards. So don't just make a few Valentine's day cards with the paper collection--keep it out and use it during the year.

Here is the card I designed using the Crate Paper - Hello Love collection.  These papers and this card is a perfect example of what could be used throughout the year.  Even though I am calling this a Valentine's Day card it could actually be used for several different occasions.  Just a little something to keep in mind when looking at your pattern papers.

The Lot of Love sentiment is from the paper collection.  I cut it out and then layered it with some gray cardstock to match the paper.  I used Therm-O-Web Foam Squares in between the layers for a little dimension.  Then I added some rosettes from the Prima Say It In Crystals Adhesive Rosette Butterfly Collection.  For the bow I used May Arts 1/4'' Rose Silk Ribbon.  Then I added a flower from the Prima Bloom Collection Freshly Picked collection.

I used one of the floral patterns from the paper collection and then I layered it with gray cardstock and adhered it to a black card base.  CAS and quick and easy!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - With Love Valentine Card

Hello everyone!  Today, is my day to post for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I have my first Valentine's Day card to share with you.  This card is pretty CAS (Clean And Simple) for me and I think it would be one that you could recreate and make several of at one time if you needed some Valentine cards. 

I love the touches of metallic gold and the simplicity of this card.  Metallic gold is very popular right now so any time you can add a touch of gold to your projects it will really make them pop.  I used the S4-457 Cascading Hearts die and the great thing or extra added little bonus about this die is all the drop out pieces are tiny hearts.  So I die cut twice--once using white cardstock and a second time using Bazzill Metallic Gold Mirror Cardstock.  The result was lots of white and gold tiny hearts.  Next I adhered the white and pink cardstock togeteher and then I used Ranger Glossy Accents to add in some of the gold hearts.  The little gold hearts look almost like sequins so I save the rest of the hearts to be able to use on other projects.  I love it when I can get double duty out of products!

Here is a close up of the gold hearts.  I also added some Baby Pink Seam Binding and one of the flowers from the Petaloo Botanica Minis - Fuchsia pack.

To create the sentiment I used more of the  Bazzill Metallic Gold Mirror Cardstock and the S2-139 Sentiments Three - with love die template.  This is another die that you could get double duty out of (or couple different looks) if you didn't want the die cut to be so long you could cut off the swirls on the end and you could cut apart the two words.  You could also use just the word love if you wanted to to.  So you would be able to get some different looks and expand the use of this die.

For the base of the card I used raspberry cardstock.
