It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! This week, the talented Jaydee has a lovely sketch for us:

Texture and dimension! This card definitely has both, thanks to the beautiful Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Those of you who follow me regularly know I LOVE all things vintage and romantic, and this embossing folder meets both of these criteria.

watercolored romantic cardAt first, I was a little intimidated by this image, but water coloring it was a breeze. I used the no-line method, where I stamped the image in Sahara Sand, and then used an Aqua Painter and various inks to color the leaves and flowers.  (The details can be found in the tutorial, which is available by clicking the tutorial button found later in this post.)

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

Created with the Happy Tails stamp set and dog punch,  this little card (4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″) sports tons of details. These hearts were created with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.  I adore these framelits … and I adore these patterns from the All My Love Designer Series Paper collection.

Dog ValentineI have always loved the phrase, “Dogs leave paw prints on our hearts.”  I am one who believes they certainly do. This little scalloped heart plays homage to this phrase.

dog valentineOf course, the star of this card is the adorable pup. Sporting a Night of Navy collar with a rhinestone dangle, this little guy was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento, with “second generation” Gray Granite spots. (Second generation stamping is just a fancy way of saying,  stamping off.) Isn’t he adorable, performing a perfect sit-stay?

Jackie has already called dibs on this card.  He would like for me to send it to his litter mate sister, Kia. This picture was taken nearly a year and a half ago on the day Kia left to go live in Seattle with Brady the Boy.  They both look as if they knew what was happening. Maybe they can be reunited for a few weeks this summer!

All Occasion Card with Butterflies

Wonderful Romance with Butterflies

The Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Papers are such a beautiful collection of papers! I had this piece of floral vellum already cut, and it was just crying out to me to make it into a versatile all occasion card. Who am I to deny a piece of paper its dream of being transformed into something that is going to be sent off to brighten one’s day?  I hope you enjoy today’s card.

Wonderful Romance with ButterfliesThe Stampin’ Up! Design Tips

One of the pleasant surprises in the Wonderful Floral Framelits collection is this edged label.  Sheer 1/8″ Fresh Fig ribbon laces perfectly through the spaces of this die cut. Plus it is the perfect size for a multitude of sentiments, such as this one from the Forever Lovely stamp set, which works very well for an all occasion card.  The little butterfly is the perfect accent.

Wonderful Romance with ButterfliesI also love the variety of leaf framelits included in this collection. The Crumb Cake leaflets were “frosted” with Whisper White craft ink.  Three little petal pink flowers, inked in Fresh Fig, add a perfect “pop” of color against the Pear Pizzazz leaves, as does the larger butterfly from  Butterfly Gala.

Wonderful Romance with ButterfliesThere are lots of steps involved, but none of them are difficult.  The end result is well worth the time spent, don’t you agree?
