3rd Card by Carol Celeste

Happy Anniversary


Supplies:
White Cardstock
Stamp Sets by Paper Smooches - Flowers: Calico; Sentiment: Good Gab
Inks:  Versa Magic Chalk Inks and Archival Jet Black Ink
Rhinestones

The “Calico” stamp set is a flower builder set. The flowers layer inside one another. To make building the flowers easier, I marked a spot on each stamp to know how to layer the flowers. 

To create this card, I cut a strip of paper 1 ¼ inches wide and secured it across the card (a bit lower that center). Then I stamped the main flowers (in threes) trying to create a flow from top left to bottom right.  When I peeled off the mask, I was left with the blank area for the sentiment.  I debated about “defining” the sentiment space with the black lines or leaving it more open.  I opted for the lines.  Two hearts to “Dot the I”; a bit of blink in the center of each flower, and it’s done!

Great Job Carol!  I love the way you peeled off the mask!

Design Team Layouts by Guest Designer Natalie

Good Evening Bloggers:

Summer Smiles Layout by Natalie

(All products used on these layouts where part of the kit and purchased at Scrapper's Playground)

Supplies:

.  Bazzill Blue Card Stock

.  Stripes Forever Paper

.  Freedom Paper

.  Bazzill Basic Border and Word Sticker Sheet

.  Bazzill White Card Stock

.  Bazzill Antique Paper Tape in Nautical

.  Jillibean Soup Letter Sticker Sheet in Tomato Red 

.  Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Paint - White Linen

To put this layout together, I used Bazzill Blue 12x12 Cardstock for my background. I then cut the Stripes Forever paper to 6x12. I then cut 1 1/2 inches from the Freedom paper and 1/4 inch from Waves of Grain and added them to my layout. I then then added from the Bazzill Basic Sticker Sheet the border. I then cut 1/2 inch the Freedom paper and added that to my layout. I matted my 4x6 and 4x4 pictures on Bazzill White Cardstock. I then added Bazzill Antique Paper tape in Nautical and used 2 stickers from the Freedom Line and used Foam Dots to adhere to my layout. I then with a paint brush added Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions in White Linen to make dots. For the final touch I added Jillibean Soup Sticker in Tomato Red for the word Celebrate and Freedom from the sticker sheet.

 

Summer Smiles Layout by Natalie

(All products used on these layouts where part of the kit and purchased at Scrapper's Playground)

Supplies:

.  Bazzill Light Blue Cardstock

.  Yankee Doodle Paper

.  Fiskar's Scallop Scissors

.  Striped Forever Paper

.  Pledge Allegiance Paper

.  Navy Blue Ribbon Banner Stickers from Freedom Sticker Sheet

.  Jillibean Red Letter Stickers

.  Paper Tape

.  Dyan Reaveley's Spray Ink - Dots

.  Foam Dots

I started my second page of  my layout using Bazzill's Light Blue 12x12 Cardstock.  I then cut the Yankee Doodle Paper to 10x10 using the Fiskar's Scallop Scissors (which are fantastic).  I then layered all the great double sided papers to 3 1/2 x 5 pieces form Waves of Grain.  I then cut 2x4  from Striped Forever and cut a 2x2 and 1 1/2  from Pledge Allegiance paper.  I added two 4x6 photos. Then for the embellishments I stapled Navy Blue Ribbon for the banner stickers from the Freedom Sticker Sheet and added Foam Dots to some to give it some dimension. For the title I used the Jillibean Red Letter Stickers and some paper tape and the date and then added Dyan Reaveley's Dylusions Ink Spray Dots. 

Great Job Natalie!
