UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

English Garden Gift Pack

I have made 10 cards out of the English Garden Designer Series Papers.

Because blue is my favorite color, here is how I am going to package them to give as a gift.

Some time after the first of the year, I will be doing this as a class.

My fall class schedule is already full!

I like this saying from Feel Goods for the front of the case, because I believe that as we send cards to others, we do bring a lot of sunshine into their lives:)

Here is the side view.

This is the Wide Stamp Case in the Full Size. 

The number for the case is below along with the other supplies.

You may shop anytime through my online store.

Final Redo for English Garden Desiger Paper with Lovely as a Tree and Guy Greetings

I know that you are probably tired of seeing this, but I wanted to show you what I came up with after imput and feedback from some of you.

I think that it is much better. I did go back and add a little glitter to the tree.

My friend, Carol, and I say that sometimes creating a design feels like we're birthing a baby!

I just love it when they fall into place right from the beginning.

And then there are cards like these that just keep morphing into hopefully something better!

Please e-mail me if you have any questions or feedback.

English Garden Designer paper with Lovely as a Tree and Guy Greetings-Redo!

I changed my mind this afternoon.  I decided to change the trees, change the color of the headlights, and change the direction of the designer paper.

Here is my new version.  Again, there is a little glitter in the trees.

Which trees do you like better?

Which direction do you like the paper going?

Which color of headlights do you like better?

I even tried blue headlights.

I would love to get an e-mail with your thoughts.

Here is what I posted yesterday.  Which one do you like better?  Anything you would do differently?

I realize that I stamped the car in Early Espresso, not Chocolate Chip.

English Garden Designer Paper with Lovely as A Tree and Guy Greetings

This particular print out of the English Garden Papers looks like it could easily have a masculine feel to it.

What do you think?

I added Lovely as a Tree and the car from Guy Greetings.

I think the greeting on this card will have to go inside!

The trees are so vibrant in person.  And I added glitter to the trees, too!  You just can't see it.

The car is stamped in Chocolate Chip and cut out.

Can you see the glitter on the trees in this picture?

 

• I sponged the grass with Wild Wasabi.
• I sponged the clouds with Soft Sky.
• I used pliers to pull the prongs off of two of the brad bases and added them to the car for headlights with glue dots.
• I inked the trees in Mellow Moss and then took my Early Espresso Marker and added brown to the tree limbs and trunks.

English Garden Designer Paper Pop Out Swing Card

My friend, Carol Wheeler, is having a workshop at my home today and this is the hands on that everyone will get to make!

Click here for the free tutorial showing how to make this style card.

When it is closed, it looks like this:

You could just punch out a 1 3/4" white scallop piece to put onto the Lost Lagoon scallop, HOWEVER,

here is what I did:  It looks kind of cool in person.

• Use the 1 3/4" Scallop circle punch in a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock.
• Use the 2 3/8" Scallop circle punch OVER the whole punched out with the 1 3/4" punch.
• Stamp the saying and punch it out with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch.
• Mount the white circle behind the Lost Lagoon frame.
• If you have a sharp eye (in person), you'll catch that it is a little more interesting when you punch it this way.

English Garden Designer Paper with A Whole Lot of Lovely

I love this design so much, I decided to use two more color schemes out of the gorgeous English Garden Papers for diversity.

Click here for the original color scheme.

In this first sample, I used Pear Pizzazz and Blush Blossom along with the Hostess Set called A Whole Lot of Lovely.  The Striped Scallop Thinlit adds a lot of charm to this card.

Anyone who knows me very well, knows that I absolutely LOVE the color blue! This blue and white color scheme remind me of the plates that my grandmother used to have- kind of a Scandinavian feel.

I've listed the supplies below for both cards and colors schemes. This is really a quick and easy card. You just need to cut out a few pieces first.  Then it stamps and assembles very quickly.

English Garden with Flower Shop Flowers

This card was fun to design because I used the opposite sides of the same sheet to get the two patterns.

I chose "Just Because" from the Tin of Cards stamp set for two reasons.  One:  it fit!  Secondly:  because it was nice and generic.

• The top Designer Series Paper (DSP) size is 2 3/8" x 5".
• The bottom DSP is 1 1/4"x 5".
• The Old Olive layer is 5 1/4"x 4".
• I stamped off the Old Olive once for the base of the leaf and then stamped it full strength ink for the two step part.
• The flowers are mounted with dimensionals.
• The saying is inked with Soft Suede.
• Oops!  I forgot to list the Flower Fair Framelits in the list below.  (133731)  You do NOT want to cut those flowers out by hand!

English Garden Designer Paper with Happy Birthday, Everyone in an interesting fold

This style card is easy to make and a lot of fun!  I have two styles for you.

You start with an 8"x 5 1/2" piece of card stock and score it at 2", 3", 5", and 6".

For the first card I used Pink Pirouette with Garden Green and the Deco Label Framelits.

Little hearts from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack finishes off the card along with rhinestones across the center of the word "Birthday".

I had to create a pink layer in this way: 

• I cut two pink pieces that are the same size as the white piece.
• I cut each piece in half:  one horizontally, and one vertically.  Snip off the points and layer them behind the white piece for a perfect in between layer.

Here is how you make the extra layer in the greeting above.

Cut two of the pink pieces that are the same size as the white Deco Label and cut them in half:  Cut one horizontally and one vertically.  Trim off the tips so that they will not show when you add them to the back of the white Deco Label piece.

For the second card I used Pink Pirouette and Pear PIzzazz along with the Circle Framelits.

The flower stamps on the top and bottom are from A Whole Lot of Love Hostess set.  The little pink flowers are from the Tree Builder Punch.

This time I added pearls across "Happy Birthday" and little tiny pearls in the centers of the flowers.

• The green panels are about 5 3/8"x 1 7/8".
• The Designer Series Papers are cut to 5 1/4"x 1 3/4". 
• The little side panels are 7/8"x 8 3/8".
• The Pink Pirouette marker is very light so I combined the Rose Red and the Pink Pirouette in the stamped flowers on the bottom of the card.

Engish Garden Designer Paper and the Hello Thinlits

I think that this paper i so beautiful, so I am trying to design cards that do not cover up much of it up.

My friend, Carol, and I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what to do with the blue print.  We were pretty happy with it.

The Honey Hello "thanks" doesn't look so "goldish" in person.

We placed a Night of Navy "thanks" behind it to help it "pop"!

Three little rhinestones add a little glitz and that's it!  Very easy

I'd even be willing to send this thank you card.  If I put too much time into a thank you card, then I think twice about who I might send it to and for what.  Do you know what I mean?:):)

Just make sure that you put wax paper in between the card stock and the thinlit when you are cutting out the words.  It really helps the words to come out pretty easily.

A Whole Lot of Lovely with English Garden Designer Paper, the Striped Scallop and Lots of Labels Thinlits

I have been waiting to have time to design some cards using the new English Garden Designer Papers.  Isn't it just beautiful!

A Whole Lot of Lovely is one of the new hostess sets.  Let me know if you would like to invite some friends over for a party so that you can earn this set!

I accented this delightful leaf print with Mossy Meadow and Daffodil Delight card stocks.

I love using the Striped Scallop Thinlits on this design because it adds accent without covering up the beautiful paper!

The Daffodil flowers were punched out with the Tree Builder Punch and the little tiny pearls added the finishing pop that I was looking for! 

I used the three largest Lots of Labels Thinlits for the layers.

Here is a different color combo if you want the card to have a brighter feel to it.

I am curious to which one you like better?
