Dream Big Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the new 2024 Memory Box Fuchsia release!  There are so many beautiful dies and papers in this release that's it's hard to decide what to use.

I started by lightly blending Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on a white cardstock panel.  I lightly spattered it with plain water and gold ink to add a little interest to the background.  Next, I glued the background to a black cardstock mat and adhered that to a white cardstock layer.  I cut a sheet of patterned paper and glued it to a white card base.    

I die cut the Dainty Fuchsia Stem twice from white cardstock, and used Distress Inks and blender brushes to add color to the die cuts.

Ink colors used:

Flowers:  Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet

Leaves:  Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn

Once the die cuts were colored I glued them together to form the flowers.  There is a QR code on the back of the die cut envelope that will give you a guide for putting the flowers together.

I glued the leaves and flowers to the background panel and adhered that to my card.

Next, I stamped the "Dream Big" sentiment with black ink to finish off the card design.

That's it for today!  I hope you enjoyed today's card!

Gracious Floral Birthday by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.  I needed a birthday card and created this simple card using all three products from the June 2023 Gracious Floral collection. 

The floral image was stamped with Fade Out ink on white cardstock for a no-line coloring look.  Used the coordinating stencils and a couple of gradient dye ink colors in blue, green and gray to color the image.  Die cut the image out with the coordinating die next, then ran it through the die cutting machine in the coordinating embossing folder.

Cut the image apart into two, adhered on opposite corners on a white woodgrain panel, and trimmed off the overhangs.  The sentiment from Poppy Stamps Modest Greetings 1 Hot Foil Plate & Die was hot foiled with gold foil.  Die cut it out with the rectangle strip die included in the set and matte it to gold Vintage Pastel mirror cardstock.  Assembled the card to finish.

That does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful day.

You Did Good with Gracious Floral by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with this pretty floral card featuring the new "Gracious Floral" collection of products.

 

To make my card I first used a brayer to added Distress Ink to the new 3D embossing folder then embossed a piece of white card stock.  I put the ink on the debossed side, so the floral image came out mostly white.  I cleaned my embossing folder and then embossed another plain white piece of card stock.  Next, I used the stencils and ink daubers to color the embossed image on the plain white card stock with Distress Inks.  Once I was happy with the colors, I took the large coordinating die from the stamp set and cut out the colored floral and added it to the top of the first one, covering up the mostly white flower.  

 

The sentiment is a stamp and die in the Gracious Floral set and I heat embossed it in white on black card stock and used the die to cut it out.

 

Here's another look:

 

 

I love these new products that all work so perfectly together.  There are so many different way to use them.  Please come back tomorrow for more inspiration!

Just Because by Theary Chea

Hello! It's Theary here back on the blog again today. I am sharing a card I created using the mini Gracious Floral Release.

I began by stamping the large floral image from Gracious Floral CL5280 onto a white A2 cardstock. I stamped it once on the upper left-hand side, then rotated the paper to stamp it on the opposite side of the cardstock.

I used coordinating stencils Gracious Floral 88620, distress oxide inks, and blending brushes to ink each stencil layer on the card panel. Once the floral stamped image was inked nicely, I placed the positive piece of the floral stencil over the colored image to mask off that area. Then, going in with a blending brush and a dark shade of ink, I blended the background scene.

I created a border using Rectangle Double Border MBF006 with rose gold glimmer foil sheets. I like how the details added interest to the card design.

I stamped out a sentiment from Gracious Floral and cut that out using the coordinating dies. I adhered everything to a top folding card base and added white details using a white gel pen.

And that completes the card! I hope you found some inspiration today! Until next time.

Have a wonderfully blessed day,
Theary Chea

Debossed Gracious Floral Thanks by Anne Thompson

Experimentation continued in my craft room this week which resulted in a debossed image of the Gracious Floral and this thank you card.

to make this card

• start with a plain white note card
• cover the front with a green plaid paper from MAGNOLIA PLAID PP1021
• ink the inside of the GRACIOUS FLORAL 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER EF1026 with VersaFine Clair Rain Forest (green) ink; put a piece of white card stock inside the folder and run it through your embossing machine to deboss the image which pushes it down rather than raising it up
• color the Gracious Floral with colored pencils
• trim it to 4 X 5 1/4; back it with a piece of black card stock trimmed closely
• decide on the orientation of the card--I chose top-fold because of where I wanted to place the sentiment
• stamp "thanks for all you do" from the GRACIOUS FLORAL CLEAR STAMP SET CL5280 using the VersaFine Clair Rain Forest ink
• add tiny amber FAIRY JEWELS /BRIGHT JWL003 to the flower centers
• add larger amber AUTUMN FAIRY CRYSTALS CRY101 in white space on the card front
• add the finished panel to the front of the note card

This was really a happy accident as I thought I had inked up the side of the folder that would emboss rather than deboss the image.  I decided to work with it and colored everything but the flowers as if they were all leaves, trying to match the ink's green with an appropriate colored pencil.  Maybe this is more inspiration for this month's green blog challenge.

Happy Crafting!

Stencilled Gracious Floral Birthday by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.  This was a birthday card I made for a crafty friend whose birthday was last Sunday.  I used the Gracious Floral stamp with the focus on the coordinating layering stencil set from the Gracious Floral collection.  As Laura mentioned in a previous post, there is a guide to help with coloring the floral image using these stencils, but unfortunately, I lost/misplaced mine.  Luckily, it was easy enough to figure out. 

 

The image was stamped with Fadeout ink onto white cardstock because I wanted a no-line coloring look.  A light neutral dye ink, such as Antique Linen distress ink, could be used instead.  Gradient colors of dye inks in purple, yellow and green were then applied with blending brushes through the stencils.  After the stencilling was complete, Polychromos pencils were then used to shade and/or color it further to give it more/better definition and dimension.  I did take creative licence, skipping the top stencil layer on the large leaves, so I can add in my own details. 😉

The image was die cut out next using the coordinating die, then cut apart to “stretch” diagonally across the card front.  Heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder onto a scrap of black cardstock before die cutting it out with a Poppy Stamps Basic Oval die.  Assembled the card onto a white card base, then added clear shimmer on the flowers and some clear jewels for a bit of sparkle to finish.  

That does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Circle of Thanks by Jean Okimoto

 

Send a note of thanks with designs from our Magnolia and Gracious Floral Collections.  Add glittery, sparkly accents too!  Hi, Jean here with a layered mix of classic favorites and our latest designs.

Cut the Stylish Frame Trio circle and Curved Magnolia Branch from green cardstock.  We'll use some of the extra leaves from the branch set too.  Trim the large leaf that would be hidden behind the blossom - it'll be repositioned at the bottom of the branch.

Cut Tilted Thanks from a purple Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.

Cut the blossom - from the Gracious Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Die Set - from a Twilight Purple 6x6.  Spritz both sides with a light mist of water to make the cardstock pliable for embossing.  Press Electric Purple Radiant Neon ink onto the upper blossom section of the embossing folder - tap the inkpad repeatedly, don't squish or rub the ink into the design.  Place the diecut in the folder and pressure emboss it using the plate(s) required for your machine.

Sprinkle the embossed, inked diecut with detail clear powder, firmly tap off the excess powder.  Heat-emboss it.  Lightly ink the center using a cotton swab and Brilliance Graphite Black.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foam tape for petals. Attach purple Autumn Fairy Crystals.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

That's it!  3D embossing adds dimension to the blossom - inking and heat-embossing it accents the details. 

Thanks for visiting the blog...have a great weekend!

Gold & Plaid Gracious Floral Collection by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today!   I have this fun plaid "Thank You" card I made for a friend using the newly released "Gracious Floral" products.

To make my card I took the center floral die and cut it from a piece of polished gold paper that was attached to a piece of card stock.  That paper is quite thin so to get a deeper impression later when I emboss it, I want it to be thicker.  After the shape was cut out, I opened the 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.  It gave the flower lovely dimension as you can see in the picture below.

 

I cut a piece of plaid paper to add the the bottom of the card base and then topped it with a thin strip of gold and another thin strip of black card stock.  The sentiment from the Gracious Floral stamp set, was heat embossed in white on black card stock.  I added the gold flower and sentiment to the card with foam tape and glue.  Here's another look:

I made one more card using the Memory Box papers and the gold polished foil and here it is:

 

 

The paper is from the Magnolia Grove and I used the large floral die from the stamp set to cut the image out and then ran it through my die cutting machine with the 3D embossing folder.  The sentiment is a 2 piece die called Hugs Tender Script.  It's so shiny in real life!

 

I hope you like my cards for today.  I really like how it turned out.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for some more inspiration!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday by Donna Sledzik

Good morning everyone!  Today I have a monochromatic card for you using the new Gracious Floral Stamp set.

I began by stamping the Gracious Floral several times on white cardstock to create a background and then used colored pencils to fill in the stamped images.  I added some shading around the images with a gray marker.  

I spattered the background with black ink and mounted the background to a black cardstock mat.   Using foam tape, I adhered it to a white card base.

Next, I die cut the words Happy Birthday from silver foil cardstock and glued it to a black shadow die cut.  I glued this to the center of the card.

To finish the card I added Black Nuvo Drops to the flower centers and the card background.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by.

Stamp, Emboss, Diecut and Stencil a Summer Card by Jean Okimoto

Take advantage of the The Gracious Floral Collection's coordinating design elements and create a summer thank you card.  Let textures, layers and stenciling build dimension in a cooling mix of fresh greens, pale yellows and crisp white.  Hi, Jean here with a versatile design from our summer release.

 

Stamp the floral image from the Gracious Floral Clear Stamp and Die Set on heavy white cardstock with Smoky Gray VersaFine.  Heat-set the ink - because we're stenciling  and 3D-embossing over it.  Diecut it with the die that's included in the stamp and die set.  Spritz the un-stamped backside of the diecut with a light mist of water.  Place the diecut in the Gracious Floral 3D Embossing Folder and pressure emboss it using the plate(s) required for your machine.

Stencil the diecut with Sunflower Yellow and Pearlescent Thyme Brilliance inks - the color-coded guide included in the Gracious Floral Stencil Set makes it simple!

Cut lime green cardstock with the 2-¾" wide Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die.

Stamp the greeting on white cardstock with Pearlescent Thyme Brilliance and quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut the greeting with the second-smallest Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die.  Trim the excess cardstock with the edge of a larger die.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foam tape for the petal- and leaf-tips.  Add dark gold  Treasure Chest Fairy Gemstones.  Cut an A6-sized rectangle of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing. Cut an A6-sized rectangle of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting - see you again on Friday!
