Tropical Sunset

Doesn't this make you want to go to Hawaii? I had done a similar card with some now retired products but wanted to give it a go with some current products!



Card base is Gorgeous Grape, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". First layer is Gorgeous Grape, 5 1/4" x 4", embossed with Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder and adhered to card base. Champagne Foil piece is 5 1/2" x 1/2", adhered 1" above bottom of card.

Die cut a piece of glossy photo paper with the Stitched Rectangle Dies, the one that's about 3 1/2" x 2 1/4". Drag the edge of the Mango Melody ink pad across the bottom half of the photo paper. Do the same with Crushed Curry. Drag Poppy Parade over the top half, overlapping the bottom half a little. Drag Gorgeous Grape across the top Drag Memento Tuxedo Black across the bottom corner to create the land. Stamp the palm trees in Memento Tuxedo Black and darken them with a Black Stampin' Write Marker. Die cut a Poppy Parade piece with the Stitched Rectangle Die that's 4" x 2 5/8" and adhere it under the photo paper piece. Adhere to the card on the left side as shown.

Die cut the shape from the Painted Labels Dies. Stamp the sentiment from Peaceful Moments in Versamark ink. Cover it with White Emboss Powder and heat it with the Heat Tool. Adhere to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Love Moon

For Valentine's Day, I wanted to create a scenic card but with a Valentine's Day theme. Hence, my "Love Moon" card!



Start with a Melon Mambo card base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". Cut a Night of Navy layer, 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" and a Shimmery White layer 5" x 3 3/4". You will also need a Night of Navy piece cut at 3 1/2" x 1" for the sentiment, and another about 2" x 4" for die cutting the tree. For the inside of the card, cut a Whisper White layer 5 1/4" x 4".

Using a Sponge Brayer and Melon Mambo ink, brayer from the bottom to the top of the Shimmery White layer, staying darker at the bottom and leaving a little white for about half an inch at the top. Using the smooth-edged Heart Punch, punch a heart out of a Post-It note, with the top at the sticky end of the note. Place the heart at the top (lighter end) of the Shimmery White layer.

Using another Sponge Brayer, brayer Night of Navy ink from the top of the card, getting lighter towards the middle of the card, going right over the heart. Once you have enough ink, remove the heart mask.

Using the single tree stamp from Mountain Air, stamp several trees in Night of Navy ink across the bottom of the card at different heights, some full strength and some stamped off once. If you like, you can also use the double tree stamp for some of the trees. Using a Sponge Dauber, sponge some Night of Navy ink along the bottom of the card layer. Die cut a large tree out of Night of Navy cardstock using the Majestic Mountain Dies and glue to the left side of the card layer. Adhere this layer to the Night of Navy layer and then to the Melon Mambo card base.

Stamp the sentiment from the Heart To Heart stamp set in Versamark ink on the small Night of Navy piece. Cover with White Emboss Powder and heat with the Heat Tool. Banner the left side with the Tailored Tag Punch and adhere to the bottom right side of the Shimmery White layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. Add 3 Rhinestones in the sky.
