Stampin' Up! Beautiful You Z card

  • Pretty, Blushing Bride Beautiful You
  • Classes you'll look forward to
  • Sale-A-Bration free gifts end March 31

Stampin' Up! Blushig Bride Beautiful You


Boy, I'm sure feeling Daylight Saving Time.   So is our Australian Shepard, Cookie.  Neither one of us can get the timing of our normal routine correct today. Did you know that workplace injuries and heart attacks go up the Monday after we go on daylight saving? Driving accidents go up the first morning we Spring forward?  Twenty three states are considering abolishing daylight savings time!  I DO like the longer daylight in the evening, but it seems like it take me at least a week to acclimated to daylight saving time each year.





     



I'm so glad I completed this card on Saturday.  I just didn't think I would have had the energy today!  This card looks so good in person!  The Glitter papers and Designer Series Papers Stampin' Up! offers us makes it almost fool-proof to put together amazing cards.






  
This card uses one of the papers from the Falling in Love Designer Series paper pack from the Occasions catalog.  The die used is the So Detailed Thinlits Dies.  The sentiment is from the Dragonfly Dreams.  The Z Card dimensions are a 11 X 4-1/2 base card folded to 4-1/4 X 5-1/2 and then the top 5-1/2 layer is folded back onto itself to 2-3/4.

    
  




The Beautiful You image was watercolored with an Aqua Painter and ink from the Sweet Sugarplum pad.  When opened flat there are panels where you can add a personal message or add another sentiment.     




I sent one version of this to my mother and stamped a "thinking of you" sentiment from the Window Shopping set, used the Very Vanilla banner on the inside panels for personal messages, and used some of the heart shapes that come out of the chads from this die cut to decorate the middle panels before sending.

    Stampin' Up! Mellow Yellow Dragonflies

    • Mellow Yellow Dragonfly Dreams
    • Upcoming classes
    • Don't miss your Sale-A-Bration free gift

    Stampin' Up! Detailed Dragonfly


    I love this card!!  Just looking at it makes my eyes happy and my heart swell!  I can't explain what this lovely combination of colors does to me!  Just like yesterday, I used another paper from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack which are preprinted with a outdoor backgrounds and a variety of graphic designs.    





    I'm usually not a big fan of yellow, but the color combination of So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Gold Foil and this flower image from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack just really "worked!"  I gold embossed the sentiment on a So Saffron oval cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.   
      






    I have had the pieces for this card sitting on my workspace for about a month.  I just couldn't finish it because I couldn't decide how to add the sentiment.  I tried a variety of ribbons, a bunch of banners shapes, and it just wasn't working.  I was cleaning up a corner of my work space and noticed the silver embossing powder tray had tipped over and was mixed with the gold embossing powder.  While cleaning out the Gold embossing powder tray, I looked at the partially completed card and the light bulb went off to use gold embossing for the sentiment.  I tried it on Very Vanilla, but it was just too stark.  Then I grabbed a scrap of So Saffron and just melted when I saw the results.   It pulled the card together so well.  I hope you like this card as much as I do.    



    Recipe:

    Stamp:  Rose Wonder (Sentiment)
    Ink:  VersaMark
    Paper:  So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Gold Foil, Serene Scenery Designer Paper Stack
    Accessories:  Stitched Shaped Framelits, Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies,  Big Shot Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals
