Dandelion Wishes

Happy Thursday. Yesterday was very windy so I decided to get out Dandelion Wishes. This stamp set can be found in the Annual catalog. I like it because it is versatile and can be used with many themes.
Card #1: Get Well

Materials and Directions
1. Balmy Blue cardstock for the card base. This is a top fold card. Cut the cardstock 4 1/4 x11. Fold in 1/2 on the 11 inch side.
2. I used Gingham Gala for a layering piece. Cut at 4 x3 3/4. Glue to card front .
3. I used a piece of Whisper White 3 x 3 3/4 to stamp the image on.
4. Stamped sentiment in the lower right corner. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink for both the sentiment and image.

Card #2: Wedding Card

1. Heather Highland cardstock for the card base. Cut the cardstock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Fold in half on the
8 1/2 inch side.

2. I used Petal Promenade DSP for the layering piece. I cut out one of the frames. Glue to the bottom of the card.
3. I stamped the sentiment from Dandelion Wishes. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp with.
4. I finished off the card using Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon(Whisper White). Tied in knot on the front.
Both of these cards are simple to make. They don’t require a lot of materials. Great for the Beginner Stampers.

Postcard Pals and Updates

Welcome to my blog. Hope everyone had a great weekend and remembered to set your clocks ahead 1 hour.  With all the excitement with the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration we shouldn’t forget the great things we can find in the Annual catalog! One of these is the Postcard Pals stamp set.

I’ve been wanting to play with this set for awhile but like others got excited about the new things available.
I made these simple cards by using this stamp set combined with Happiness Blooms DSP from the Occasions catalog.
Card 1

Materials and Directions
1. Whisper White cardstock for the cardbase. This card base is a topfold. 41/4 x 11 fold in half on 11 inch side.
2. A 4x4 piece of Happiness Blooms DSP. Glue on the front.
3. A square cut from Whisper White cardstock using the large Stitched square Framelits.
4. Stamp image on the square. You can color or leave black and white. I used the Stampin Blend markers I have. Use what you have. Glue square on top of the DSP as shown in the picture.
5. Stamp sentiment on the front.
Card 2

Another simple card made like the other one.  I used Very Vanilla for the cardbase and a 3x3 square of DSP.  The DSP I  glued diagonally on the front and then glued the stamped image as in the picture. I chose a different image and sentiment from the set. Again you can color the image if you wish.

Updates 

Petal Promenade One Sheet Wonder day 2

Here are some more cards I made from the pieces I cut out yesterday.
Card 3-

- Mango Melody cardstock for the card base.
-From one of the rectangles cut diagonally.  Glue one triangle piece to card base as in the picture. I used a piece of ribbon along the edge of the triangle. This is optional. I also used a Pearlized Doily that can be earned for free with an order of 50$ or more. The circle I made using Wood Texture DSP. I used the label punch to cut out the sentiment that I stamped on scrap piece of Whisper White.

Card 4-

For this card I used the 3 strips of DSP and glued them onto a Petal Pink card base. I used the Story Label Punch ( now available to purchase) for the sentiment.

Card 5-

For this card I took one of the rectangle pieces and cut at 2 inches. I then glued them on the front of a petal pink card base using the reverse side of the 2 inch piece on the bottom. I made 2 cards like this.

Two more cards-

There are endless possibilities just use your imagination. You can find more One Sheet Wonder templates on the internet. I felt this template the easiest to start with.
