Blackberry Sunflowers

 Morning all! One last post, for now, with Sunflowers! This time, in Blackberry Bliss!

These are so quick to do! I needed a thank you card the other day, and a birthday card. In just a few minutes, I had both! The background is the Two-Tone Blackberry Bliss from a combo pack, Celebrate together. Links at the bottom! The single color packs are 12 sheets. I opted for a couple variety packs to have multiple colors to play with. Those I love and use most may become single pack purchases later!

These are same as the Crushed Curry ones, except I made them "horizontal" and not vertical. Depends on how you want to attach sayings, etc. I don't like to cover all the flowers! I embossed with the Sunflower 3D folder, then went over with a sanding block. Accent layer of Basic White and a card base of Blackberry Bliss. Sayings on both are from Simply Said. The banner on the top one is from the current die set Stylish Shapes, the bottom is a retired die. Retired white ribbon also. Top card is current Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon. Also on the top card I accented the main Sunflower with Wink of Stella. Just lightly brushed it over! Perfect compliment to that ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you get to create today! I spent time putting things away yesterday so I can get back to work easier! Several project still partially done, and a new Paper Pumpkin received yesterday. Product links below for current items!

More sunflowers!

This wonderful folder is still on my desk and I might not put it away :) Hoping to spend time in my room today as it is far too cold to leave the house! But for now, here are a couple cards I mailed to friends early last week for birthdays.

These use the NEW Two-Tone Cardstock in Crushed Curry. See how one is darker (left)? This is 12 x 12 paper. Called cardstock but is lighter weight than that, probably heavier than DSP though. But it also has a white core! Hello sanding block! Here is a closer up of the darker one!

I embossed the Two-Tone cardstock in the folder. Depending which side you want raised, note how you are putting the paper in the folder! Good news though, it works either way! Once embossed, lightly go over with a sanding block. Be gentle, some of the raised edges will catch. It will accent parts of the flower and petals. LOVE!! Note, we no longer have sanding blocks available but you likely have one if you've been crafting for a while. If not, I'm sure you can find one "out there". 

And, this paper comes in ALL the colors! and I do mean all! It also comes in variety packs! Check the different suites for options! I bought Crushed Curry in the full pack and a couple of variety packs as well for options! There are lots of embossing folders (current and retired!) that would be awesome with this technique! Check your stash :)

Card base is Thick Basic White, accent layer of Secret Sea. Banner from Stylish Shapes and a retired Happy Birthday saying. Secret Sea ribbon knotted behind the banner.

Have a GREAT weekend all! I've got a few chores to take care of, then heading down to my room. Still trying to get birthday cards together for the year and have a few in the works projects I need to finish up!

DSP Simple Birthday

Howdy all, back with some masculine birthday cards! Never have these on hand when I need one! I've shared similar cards in the past, but honestly, they all come out different!

This one uses a new DSP, from the Nature Walk pack, part of the new Nature Walk Suite! Love the varied colors and splatter look! I embossed the Simple Birthday stamp in gold on the DSP using my Versamark pad. I added a retired gold thread to the side and a few gold gems for accent. Card base is Mossy Meadow with a Crumb Cake accent layer, both colors from the DSP.

Here are a couple others using retired DSP. I knew I had some plaid papers so I went treasure hunting!

This one is a gray colored plaid with darker lines. I grabbed Smoky Slate for the card base, it matched very well. And then Poppy Parade for the accent layer to give it pop! Red sparkle ribbon on the side and 3 frosted dot elements for accent.

This one is Pool Party - made for a friend headed to Florida soon! The embossing powder on these last two is a "Pewter" color. Not current, but any of the metallics we now have would work as would Black from the basics set! I have a stash I'm trying to use up! Pool Party base, Lost Lagoon accent layer. White bakers twine on the side and clear elements for accent!

Thanks for stopping by today! Product details below for what is current.
