Welcome to The Stampin’ Schach! On this freezing Sunday, I was happy I was able to stay inside and find time to play with my good friends at The Paper Players. This week the talented Claire has an exciting color challenge for us: Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Real Red, Whisper White. I thought these colors could be used to create a Valentine…so I pulled out my Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits and accepted the challenge. I hope you enjoy my efforts!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This card measures 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ when folded.
- Lovely layers! Tempting Turquoise card stock creates a striking frame for the Whisper White panel. And just in case you are interested in sizes, the Turquoise piece measures 4″ x 5-1/4″, while the Whisper White layer is 3-3/4″ x 5″.
- Foiled again! Red Foil creates an elegant heart. Removal of the small cutout pieces is a breeze when you use the Big Shot Die Brush. To add depth and dimension, this heart was “popped” up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, which are strategically placed behind the flowers.
- Bloomin’ blossoms! Melon Mambo flowers were created with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits collection. I curled and curled the edges with a bone folder in order to break down the fibers and separate them into layers. Of course, pearls are the perfect centers!
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I am so in love with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits. Just think…buying the Love Blossoms Bundle (Bloomin’ Hearts Thinlits + Bloomin’ Love Stamp Set), the Big Shot Die Brush, and a packet of pearls earns you a FREE Sale-A-Bration set. Who doesn’t like FREE!
I’ll leave you with a picture of Muffy. This gal sat in her chair, like a queen sitting on her throne, and watched the Golden Globes this evening. I have no idea why, but she was mesmerized! What a hoot!
As always, if you have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away. And don’t forget to place your orders to earn your FREE Sale-A-Bration rewards! Until next time…
Oh Ann – I tried to think of something even more powerful than stunning and all I could come up with was breathtaking!! What a card. I would love to be able to see into your creative mind. Also it was so nice to hear about your boys. Looking forward to show pix and seeing what Brady did, or does when he comes home again. Thanks for sharing!
I think of all your cards, Ann, this one is my very favorite. I never could have imagined this color combo to be so, so elegant. You did it!
I love this..simply gorgeous!!!!
Yay, I’m so glad you could join us! Your bloomin’ heart is just beautiful in red foil and I love the way the sentiment trails off the bottom–just lovely! So glad you played along with us at The Paper Players…big hugs to you!
Lovely card. My reason for commenting is that I think Muffy thought that she was going to get an award and was waiting for her name to be called. Love the doggie pics
What a pretty card. Love the foil heart.
Miss Muffy is as pretty and regal as ever!
Love that die, now that I figured out how to use it. Also love your card. Don’t our fur babies do the most amazing things, lol.
Oh I just love this Ann – how clever to create the dimension on the flowers by separating the cardstock layers. Gorgeous! As for Muffy – what a regal pose!
Your card is stunning! I was sure you were going to say you put some sort of gloss on your flowers, they look shiny in the picture. Just separating the layers, wow! So glad to see your cards again and with the steps to make them, love that, thanks! I was sure I could live without this thinlit, but now, I don’t know…. 🙂
I think I fell in love with this amazing card! So delicate and detailed, and yet CAS!
Thanks for joining the Paper Players Ann!
All I can say is WOW!
That’s an absolutely gorgeous card – it’s hard to know which part I love the most. It’s perfect.
Pretty card and fits the color challenger well. Love the Muffy photo, she knows winners when she sees them! Maybe she is comparing her trophies to theirs?
Absolutely GORGEOUS, Ann! Muffy is intrigued, so funny! Beautiful!
That die is just gorgeous! What a hoot that Muffy was so taken by the Golden Globes last night!!!
Oh Ann, what a gorgeous card, this die is just amazingly beautiful, a must have.
Love what you did with the flowers, giving them some dimension by curling the petals like that. And popping the heart with dimensionals really added to the beauty of it.
Now, about Muffy…..she does look regal sitting there, I bet she was checking out the fashions everybody was wearing to see who flopped and who shone like a star.
She is gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing.
