My first card is made with the Cherry Plum Blossom Folder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor the background panel I used a piece of green cardstock with the Fringe 3D Embossing Folder.<\/strong><\/li>I ran a piece of white cardstock through with the Cherry Plum Blossom 3D Embossing Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>I used the Detailed Blending Brushes <\/strong>to color the flowers and leaves with Frosty Pink and Frayed Leaf Pigment Inks<\/strong>. Then I used the fine tip of a Zig Twin-Tipped Blending Marker to color the centers of the flowers & leaf stems with Coral Berry & Frayed Leaf Pigment Ink.<\/strong><\/li>I wanted this card to have a delicate pastel “feel” to it!<\/li> I cut down the colored panel and stamped the sentiment (from the Inside and Out: Thanks Stamp Set<\/strong>) with Forest Glades Pigment Ink.<\/strong><\/li>I trimmed a piece of pink cardstock to be just slightly larger than the floral panel, to give it a very thin pink frame.<\/li> I adhered the floral panel to the pink panel with Ultra Sticky Double-Sided tape.<\/strong><\/li>I adhered that combined panel to the green background panel with Foam Tape<\/strong> to give the card dimension.<\/li>Finally I added some pink pearls as embellishments. \ud83d\ude0a<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

For my second card, I used the Vintage Lace 3D Embossing Folder & the coordinated coloring stencils:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe first step was running a piece of white cardstock with the Vintage Lace 3D Embossing Folder<\/strong>.<\/li>Next I colored the floral image using the Detailed Blending Brushes<\/strong> and the coordinating Coloring Stencils<\/strong> with Sugarplums and Nature’s Wonders color families of Crisp Dye Inks.<\/strong><\/li>I cut a panel of Woodgrain White Cardstock<\/strong> to match the white floral panel. (It’s difficult to see the woodgrain in the photo, but it really gives a lot of texture in person!)<\/li>Next I used the Nesting Oval Dies <\/strong>to cut a large oval window out of the woodgrain cardstock panel.<\/li>I attached the woodgrain panel with the oval window to the background floral panel with Foam Tape <\/strong>to add dimension. I wanted it to look like a white wooden picture frame. The oval shape reminds me of the vintage feel of the stamp.<\/li>I used the Fancy Hugs Die<\/strong> to cut the sentiment out of Gilded Ombre Washi Tape <\/strong>to add a little interest to it.<\/li>I used a combination of liquid glue and foam tape to attach the sentiment to the card.<\/li> Finally I added some pearls (white that I colored with an Amethyst Artist Alcohol Marker<\/strong>) as embellishments.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

For my third card, I used the Motif Tile 3D Embossing Folder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe background panel is made with black cardstock that I ran through with the Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder.<\/strong><\/li>To make the pink background panel, I cut a piece of white cardstock and ran the Coral Berry Pigment Ink<\/strong> pad around the 4 edges to create a pink outer border.<\/li>While that ink was drying, I ran a second white cardstock panel through with the Motif Tile 3D Embossing Folder.<\/strong><\/li>Next I took the same Coral Berry Pigment Ink<\/strong> pad and ran it across the raised pattern on the panel.<\/li>Then I cut a smaller panel out of the 3D panel using the Mixed and Match Frames Die Set <\/strong>so that the main panel would have a deckled edge.<\/li>I decided that the card needed a small floral image for more interest, but nothing too big because I wanted the beautiful tile design to show.<\/li> I chose the Wild About You layered floral stamp set<\/strong>. I once again used pigment inks from the Red Cosmos & Green Fields color families<\/strong> for the layers.<\/li>I attached the stem & leaf with liquid glue, and the flower with Foam Tape<\/strong> to give it dimension.<\/li>I cut the sentiment from the Simple Greetings Stamp Set<\/strong>, using another Coral Berry inked panel for the top layer, and black cardstock for the shadow layer.<\/li>I used foam tape to attach the sentiment.<\/li> To assemble the card, I used Ultra Sticky Double-Sided Tape<\/strong> to attach the white panel to the pink-edged panel. Then I used Foam Tape to attach those panels to the black background panel.<\/li>Finally I added some black enamel dots for embellishments.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nGiveaway Prizes<\/strong>:\n\n$300 in total prizes!
