Sailing Home - The Spot Sketch Challenge #105

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my card that I made for this week's sketch challenge over at The Spot.  For my card I decided to go with products from the Come Sail Away Suite from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  I actually picked this suite because of the sentiment that I used on my card.  I thought it was just a very uplifting and encouraging message.  And I know that a lot of people need to here that today.  Here's a look at my card.  

Here's a look at the challenge that inspired my card.  You can click on the image below to visit us at The Spot to see what the other design team members came up with using this week's sketch.  

Tips & Tricks: 

I started out my card design by attaching a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper after attaching it to a mat made from a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock.  I then attached it to my Soft Suede card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2).  Once I had the basics part of the card created I used the Layering Squares Dies to cut out three medium Soft Suede squares and three smaller squares from the designer series paper.  I keep with patterns in the blues from the designer series paper pack.  One reason for this choice was because blues and brown pair really nicely together.  Brown is considered a Earth Red or Earth Orange in the art world, and blue is the complementary color of orange.  So where I am going, yes, I am sneaking in a little color theory to my project.  

After cutting out the squares I attached them to each other with a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I then attached a skinny strip of DSP to a skinny Soft Suede Strip and added it to the card front.  I then arranged the squares as you see above and as in the sketch.  I then stamped the lighthouse from the stamp set in Soft Suede and the sentiment in Night of Navy Classic Inks and used the matching dies from the Smooth Sailing Dies and attached them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

To finish off my card I added one of the anchors from the Sail Away Trinkets using a mini glue dot and added a small bow made from the Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine.  I hope that you like my card and that it gave you a little sense of hope in this trying time.  I also hope that you will take a little time a play along with us over at The Spot this week.  This is a really fun creative challenge and will make you think outside the box and explore your creativity.  Thanks for dropping by.  

Happy Stampin'

Ornate Garden Springtime Sampler Video Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the 12 x 12 Sampler that I made the other day using the designer series paper from the NEW Ornate Garden Suite.  The Ornate Suite of products will be in the Stampin' Up! 2020 Annual Catalog.  The lovely flowers in the Ornate Garden Suite Collection are a modern take on classic Victorian florals. The gold foil accented paper, gems, and shimmery ribbon will add sparkle and elegance to your projects. You’ll love what you can do with this versatile collection. Share your gratitude with the included sentiments or pair with any sentiments for all-occasion projects.  Here's a look at the sampler. 

Tips & Tricks: 

Samplers are a great thing to make for every occasion or holiday because they are great home decor pieces that are inexpensive and easily to make.  Another great thing about samplers are that you can create them any way you want; there's no right or wrong way to make one.  You can create a simple one the I did today.  All I did was figure out how big I wanted my sampler to be.  Typically most are 12" x 12" since that's a full sheet of scrapbook cardstock.  But, I have made them as small as 6" x 6".  Yes, there is a little math involved but, you can make that as simple or as hard as you want it to be.  I decided simple was best.  So I did simple math not this common core crap they are teaching kids nowadays.  You know the math that your kids or grandkids bring home and it takes twenty steps to get to a two step answer.  I did good old common basic math.  I decided that I could get nine 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" squares on my 12" x 12" cardstock and it look visually appealing.  

So with the first part decided I then knew that I would need nine 3" x 3" squares.  So I cut pieces of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper and cut it down to 3" strips and then came back and cut that again at 3" the other way to get my squares.  I then picked my coordinating colors So I went with colors in the paper (which is always a great way to pick your coordinating colors because Stampin' Up! did the work for us this makes it easy to pull colors you know will work together).  I picked Old Olive and Terracotta Tile as my mat layers.  So I cut five Old Olive squares at 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 (which only took 1 sheet of cardstock) and four in Terracotta Tile.  Next I arranged the DSP onto each mat layer deciding what looked best which what color.  Now mind you have not glued one thing down.  So once I had the placement figured out I then arranged the matted layers onto my sampler base.  Once I was happy with that is when I started glueing my designer series paper squares to my cardstock squares.  At this point I went ahead and attached everything to my base.  I always make sure to have the same margins on all four sides and I use a straight edge to line everything up.  I look at this as building a house and I start at the bottom and add the first row, then the next lined up with the same boarder and then the top row.   So think foundation, walls, then roof.  After getting the house assembled I can start with the really fun stuff and stamp and embellish the sampler.  

I started out then by stamping the two daisies from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set in Early Espresso Classic Ink.  My ink pad was very juicy so I went with second generation stamping so it wasn't quite as dark.  I stamped two of each daisy image from the stamp set twice.  When punched out you need two of each to make a full daisy.  So I added the small daisy which I stamped punched out with the small daisy punch and adhered together with a mini glue dot to the bottom left-hand side square up at the top.  I am thinking I am going to go back and add one of the Perennial Essence Floral Centers to the center of the small daisy for a added extra color to this one and tie in the the yellows of the paper.   

 

For my top right-hand square I added the large daisy made and stamped the same way as the little one.  I added some of the old olive ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack behind.  The Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack gives you double the creative options with two spools of silky, shimmery ribbon. Use it on cards, tags, treat packages, and more.  You get 2 spools: 1 each of 2 colors (Old Olive and Terracotta Tile).  Each spool is 5 yards per spool so that's 10 yards total.   And the ribbon is a great size at 1/4" wide; which makes it great for every project.  To attach the ribbon all I did was add a little Tear & Tape Adhesive behind where I wanted my daisy to go, and made a z pattern with the ribbon securing it into the Tear & Tape.  Then I popped the daisy on top.  

Next I used some scraps of Old Olive Cardstock and Terracotta Tile Cardstock to cut out the words Spring and time using the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies.  I arranged the letters to go across to panels for my sentiment panels.  I had Spring at the top and then off set the time in the center of the two.  I then stamped "it's your time to shine" from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set onto a scrap of Terracotta Tile cardstock in Early Espresso.  I made this into a little fishtail banner that I placed centered from the edge between the two die cut words.  To finish off the sampler I added a few of the new Gilded Gems sprinkled around the sampler.
