A pretty card using Stampin' Up! products that I made for a monthly swap I participate in.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and Glimmer Paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Coastal Cabana Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-3/4" x 5-1/2" from Mango Melody Cardstock
- 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 3-1/2" from Mango Melody Cardstock
- scrap of Gold Glimmer Paper at least 1-1/2" square
Place the white cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image when you stamp with the photopolymer Love What You Do stamp.
Mount the large watercolor wash image from the Love What You Do Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Coastal Cabana Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle about 3/4" from the top.
Mount the "Follow Your Dreams" sentiment from the Follow Your Dreams Set on Block G. Use the brush tip of the Coastal Cabana Marker to ink up the words "Follow Your." Use the brush tip of the Mango Melody Marker to ink up the word "dreams." Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the white rectangle about 1/2" from the bottom.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the larger rectangle of the Mango Melody Cardstock.
Adhere the matted white rectangle to the front of the Coastal Cabana card.
Pick out the detailed dream catcher thinlit from the Chase Your Dreams Framelits. Place the small rectangle of Mango Melody Cardstock on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the dream catcher thinlit on top. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Unlock the 1-1/4" Circle Punch. Slide the piece of Gold Glimmer Paper into the punch and punch.
Put a Mini Glue Dot in the center of the back of the dream catcher cut out. Adhere the top of the dream catcher to the circle of Gold Glimmer Paper so the circles line up.
Use a few Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the Glimmer Paper circle to adhere the dream catcher to the front of the card so it is centered over the watercolor wash image.
Carefully peel up a small gem from a sheet of Gold Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the circle of the dream catcher.
Cut an 8" piece of the Coastal Cabana/copper 1/8" ribbon from the Tea Room Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center of the ribbon and trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the lower left side of the dream catcher circle at a slight angle.
Carefully peel up 3 Tranquil Tide pearls from a sheet of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the card front.
