scrap for the sentiment piece

Take the large foliage stamp and stamp on one of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ in Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, and Poppy Parade inks.

Die cut the frame from the Delicate Forest die.
Adhere the frame over the Basic White CS layer and adhere both to the Poppy Parade base.

Die cut the twin foliage strip in Poppy Parade cardstock.
Adhere the strip to the bottom of the card.

Stamp the sentiment on the Basic White sentiment die in Poppy Parade ink.
Adhere to the outside of the foliage frame and pop up the right side of the sentiment piece.

Adhere two more foliage die cuts from the Delicate Forest die set to either side of the card bottom.

new swap cards

by nataliegramleystamps | Mar 1, 2024 | card samples, card swap, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, fun fold, Sale-a-bration, stamps ink paper

I love card swaps – I say it all the time! But I rarely say I love our little swap group – an upline of mine hosts a swap almost every month of the year – many of us participate in all of them a few drop in and out as time allows – I love seeing their stamp sets and their card designs and their work. I also love their dedication and commitment to get things done that they have said they will do!

The first swap card is from November – yep November I received it a few weeks ago with an apology. Marcy committed to be in the November swap and then broke her dominant wrist a week before Thanksgiving. We had sent our cards to her and she could have just said forget about it – but when she recovered – she did her November Swap card and it is lovely! Thanks Marcy for your commitment to our swap group and I am glad you are better!
Her card uses the Beauty of the Deep and Hope and Prayer stamp sets, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, and Shaded Spruce cardstock as well the Hello Irresistible DSP peeking through the circle die!

All the rest of the cards are from the January swap, this card from Veronica S uses the Stippled Roses set and DSP with multiple layers of Pebbled Path and Berry Burst – love the color combination!

Carroll A used the Perennial Lavender suite of products to create this lovely card. The Perennial Lavendar DSP is the star of the show and makes for an easy and lovely palette!

The swap card from Susan W used the Enduring Beauty stamp set and dies from the Spring mini catalog and she embossed the flower image in white embossing powder onto the Perennial Lavendar DSP for a fun background to the flower image.

Kathi D’s adorable card uses the Cutest Cows bundle and the Bee Mine DSP. Too Cute!

Denise W used the Sale-a-bration Flight and Airy DSP and the More Dazzle Specialty paper. The sentiment is from the Softly Said Online Exclusives stamp set and I thought it was ingenious she cut small strips of designer series paper and curled with her fingers to add to the nest!

The Wild Ferns stamp set was Carol S’s swap card inspiration paired with the Ferns 3D Embossing folder and the Pecan Pie bordered ribbon for a beautifully tailored look to her card.

Lori V’s card used the Perennial Lavender suite as well I love the layered Perennial Postage dies for the card layers!

Marie W’s collage style card uses the Nature’s Sweetness suite of products in neutral tones!

Vickie G’s card is a fun fold using the Perennial Lavendar DSP and the Inspirational Sketches stamp set.

Lyn L’s card used the Flight and Airy Sale-a-bration paper and the Bee Mine punch.

The card from Judy P used the Delicate Forest bundle in Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Petal Pink. I love the fun color choices!

Julie T’s swap card uses the Rock Star bundle for a great musical birthday card!

Robin C’s card features the Let’s Chat stamp set in Pretty Peacock and Poppy Parade colors.

I always get great ideas from these cards and I hope they inspire you as well! Now it’s time to go and create your own works of art – one stamp set at a time!

more color mondays – orchid oasis, coastal cabana, and lemon lime twist

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 15, 2024 | 3D projects, card samples, color challenge, fun fold, more color mondays, new catalog, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s More Color Monday has a tropical vibe featuring Orchid Oasis, Coastal Cabana and lemon Lime Twist! I am just returning to reality after spending a week down in the US and British Virgin Islands with my husband and I wanted to continue with Tropical colors for just a smig longer! Do you blame me lol!

Today’s card is a very cool fun fold called a Tunnel card consisting of a base and inside layer. The inside layer has a die cut in the center and folds outward to create a “tunnel” effect so you peer through it to see the stamped images on the back of the base card!

Measurements:
Base: Coastal Cabana 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Lemon Lime Twist layer: 5 1/4″ x 8 1/4″
scored at 2 1/16″, 4 1/8″, and 6 3/16″
Orchid Oasis front layers: 4″ x 5 1/4″,
2 1/4″ x 3 1/4′
Lemon Lime Twist front layer: 3 3/4″ x 5″
scraps of all three colors for die cuts

Take base layer and score at 4 1/4″
Score at 2 1/6″, 4 1/8″ and 6 3/16″.

Pick a sentiment for your card front I choose one from the new set Delicate Forest and I stamped it in Versamark ink onto an appropriately sized die cut, I choose one of the new Perennial postage dies. Then I sprinkled the white embossing powder from the Basics Embossing powders pack and heat set it with my heat tool.

I took a water painter and dipped it into the Orchid Oasis ink and slicked ink from the brush tip onto the sentiment die cut for some depth and dimension.

I took a water painter and dipped it into the Whisper White ink and slicked ink from the brush tip onto the sentiment die cut for some depth and dimension.

I die cut the middle panel of the inner Lemon Lime Twist piece with the second to the largest die from Perennial Postage die set and saved that piece for the card front.
I die cut several pieces of the long leaf strand from the Notes of Nature die set in lemon Lime Twist and adhered them in opposite directions to the side panels. Cut off the overhanging die.

Die cut each of the smaller leaf dies from the Notes of Nature die set in all the three colors of cardstock and adhere them to the inside of the opening of the middle panel.

Stamp the inside sentiment and three tall stemmed images from the Delicate Forest in Coastal Cabana in the center of the card base before folding the score line. Fold the score lines with a bone folder of the Lemon Lime Twist inside layer and adhere the right hand panel to the inside back of the card base leaving an even border on top bottom and right-hand side.

Place adhesive on the left outside panel of the Lemon Lime twist layer and close the Coastal Cabana card front over the inside layer and adhere.
The inside panel should look like the tunnel in this photo.

Take the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Orchid Oasis layer and cut with the largest Perennial Postage die and then emboss with the Distressed Brick 3D embossing Folder.
Die cut the Lemon Lime 3 3/4″ x 5″ layer with the second largest Perennial Postage die and add the remaining long stem die cuts from the Notes of Nature die set on top.
Adhere the Lemon Lime Twist layer onto the Orchid Oasis layer and then add die cuts to the sentiment piece to your liking and adhere to the top portion of the Lemon Lime layer as shown in the photo below.

Adhere the sentiment layers to the card front.

Add embellishments to the inside of the card any of our flat embellishments will do nicely like the Iridescent Adhesive Backed discs.

Add the embellishments to the card front.

Here is another sample using the same colors and stamping from the Delicate Forest instead of all the dies and embossing on the sides and front!

Try this color combination and let me know what you come up with or post it in today’s facebook post in the comment section for all to see!

Try this tunnel card it is so much fun! Go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

by nataliegramleystamps | Jan 8, 2024 | card samples, color challenge, more color mondays, new catalog, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s More Color Monday’s is bright and cheery for this New Year and new catalog season and I might just have some tropical sunsets on my mind!

I love creating scenic backgrounds and this card is all about ink blending in today’s color challenge colors: Calypso Coral, Mambo melon and Gorgeous Grape!

Measurements:
BASE: Mambo Melon 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layer: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″

Take the outside Basic White layer and starting at the bottom layer Calypso Coral ink about one-third of the way up the card with a blending brush.

with the same outside Basic White layer and starting just above the Calypso Coral ink layer the Mambo Melon ink about one-third of the way up the card with a blending brush above the coral layer.

Using a new blending brush layer Gorgeous Grape ink in the top third of the Basic White layer.

Cut a scrap piece of Basic White thick cardstock with the Basic Borders cloud edge die and place at the top of the ink blended layer. Using the same Gorgeous Grape ink brush over the die mask and create cloud shadowing with the mask and the ink.
