August Card Class

Birthday Wishes

Stamp Sets:  Summer Splash, Occasional Quotes
Paper:  Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White
Ink:  Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories:  Big Shot, Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die, Crystal Effects

I attached the scallop square to the 8 x 4 scored piece of Tempting Turquoise card stock.  I used Crystal Effects to make the raised bubbles.  This makes a nice birthday card for a child, a summer birthday or someone that likes fish.

Fifth Avenue Floral

Stamp Sets:  Fifth Avenue Floral, Occasional Quotes
Paper:  Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake, Elegant Soiree DSP (retired)
Ink:  Soft Suede
Accessories:  Big Shot, Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Very Vanilla Seam  
Binding Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Dazzling Diamonds, 2-Way Glue Pen

I ran the Baja Breeze through the Big Shot using the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.  On one end of the seam binding, I pulled a few pieces of thread to create the gathered look.  When it was about half way, I then went to the other end and did the same thing.  This was you don't accidentally pull the thread all the way out.  I attached the seam binding to the DSP and wrapped the end underneath it.  Then I attached the DSP to the Baj Breeze.  I stamped the the smallest flower from Fifth Avenue Floral using Soft Suede ink onto Crumb Cake.  I used the 2-Way Glue Pen to attached the Dazzling Diamonds to the center of the flower.  Then I attached the Crumb Cake to the Not Quite Navy and attached that to the card.  I used three of the same sized Basic Pearls in the right hand corner.  On the inside I stamped Congratulations on Your Wedding Day.

Bold Blossoms

Stamps Set:  Bold Blossom
Paper:  Calypso Coral, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight
Ink:  Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral
Accessories:  Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Dimensionals

I first stamped the stem for the flower using Lucky Limeade ink.  I had to make sure that I left enough room for the top part of the flower.  Then I attached the pieces of the flower to line up with each stem.  I added a rhinestone to the center of each flower.  I attached the Whisper White to the Baja Breeze.  Next I attached the ribbon by wrapping it around this layer.  Next I attached this layer to the Calypso Coral.  I stamped the words using Calypso Coral and punched it out with the Scallop Oval Punch.  Next I used Dimensionals to attach this to the card.
