Quilt out of Lattice Die Green and Pink

Here is the opposite of what I posted yesterday. This one is quilted with the square lattice die so it's a double lattice quilt card. I think this card would be especially nice for a quilter for her birthday but certainly appropriate for anyone celebrating their birthday.

The piece of designer series paper that the lattice was cut out of measures 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". Then I added a piece of Pretty in Pink on top 3 1/2" x 3/4" and the bottom was 1" wide then punched with the border punch. Adhere all together.

Supplies:

Stamps: Curly Cute

Ink: Wild Wasabi

Paper: Tea Party dsp?, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi cs

Tools: Eyelet Border Punch, Big Shot, Bigz Lattice Die, Square Lattice embossing folder

Quilt out of Lattice Die

 Wow, this quilting with paper is really fun and fast. I have made 3 quilts now with fabric and they take weeks to complete. A card quilt made with paper and a few supplies takes only minutes. Especially with this lattice die. I ran a piece of dsp through the Big Shot with the lattice die and then flipped the pink lattice section over and this is the result. You have to glue each piece down individually but with 2 way glue  it moves only rather quickly. after the glue was dry I did then run it through the Big Shot again with finial press ef.  I put a fancy border edge on my card stock and stamped that pretty little sentiment on and my card was done. I didn't want to put too much on the front of this card because I didn't want to take away from the beauty of the quilt itself.

Here is the list of

Supplies:

Stamps: Curly Cute

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: I think it's Tea Party retired, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi cs

Tools: Big Shot, Finial Press ef, Bigz Lattice die, Eyelet Border punch

Fast and Fabulous

It's my birthday today so I thought I would post one of my favorite Birthday cards.

When I first saw this set as a hostess set, just a year ago, I wasn't impressed. Isn't that typical, don't we want to see these stamps used in a project with actual ink on them before we fall in love with them. Well, when I saw this post on splitcoaststampers, it took my breath away and I had to give it a try. There this set sat on my shelf neglected of ink all this time and look what can be done with it. Now it's only available for 2 more days. It's still not too late, you could place a qualifying order and earn this set still. This card took me total about 5 minutes to put together.

Supplies:

Stamps: Fast and Fabulous

Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Marina Mist

Ink: Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Old Olive

Tools: Eyelet Border, Scallop Oval Punch, Small oval punch, Wide striped night of navy ribbon (retired)

My First 411 Challenge

Okay, I'm excited. This is the first time I've done the 411 challenge over at Stamping 411 Check it out, they have some interesting stuff going on over there. Great directions for projects with detailed measurements too. And I am so happy with how this card turned out. Pictures never do any sort of craft justice but that's what we have here to share. There are a lot of firsts for me in this card.I had never used Robin Hood Red before and I just got this beautiful Ornate Blossom stamp so I wanted to put it to use. Wow, I just have to say WOW to both the stamp and the color. I will be using both a lot from now on. What a bold statement this flower makes.

Here are the supplies I used:
Stamps: Ornate Blossom, Thank you Kindly
Ink: Robin Hood Red
Paper: Robin Hood Red, Washington Apple dsp (retired)
Tools: Corner Rounder,  Eyelet Border Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pak, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder,
Accessories: Linen Thread, Bitty Buttons
I would love to hear from you. Do you like the card? Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

Animal Stories of all kinds

• Just three more days for the scrapbooking special for the month of May. This card was made with the stamp set called Animal Stories. It is on special for 30% off the regular price. Don't miss out on it.  I also used Circle Circus and Teeny Tiny Wishes. The kiss technique was used to get that pattern on the giraffe. First I inked it up with Apricot Apeal, then I inked up the bubbles stamp from Circle Circus and touched the rubber of the giraffe with it several times before stamping it onto Whisper White card stock.

Here is one made with the whale stamp from the same Animal Stories set. I added some glitter to the "water" to make it sparkle. Everything else is pretty self explanatory. I inked up the embossing folder before running the white cardstock through the Big Shot.

Here I used the owl out of the Animal Stories stamps and just repeated him 3x. Also using Circle Circus for the background.

And one last one is the elephant from the same set. Repeated in Positively Pink, Elegant Eggplant and Summer Sun

If you have any questions leave a comment or email me. Also if you want to order anything to make cards like these email me and I'll be happy to help you. Some of these supplies are retired but the current supplies that Stampin' Up has available make equally (or better) cards and scrapbooking pages.

I would love to hear from you what you think about these cards and thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

Circles of Sympathy

Just a few more days left in Saleabration and then it will be gone for another year. If you want to place an order head over to my website and get a FREE item or two. Let me know if you need anything or have any questions I would love to help you.

There was a similar card sent to me by my upline, Cindy Fodor, so I'm not sure who made it but I cased it and this is what I came up with.

• I used the Circle Circus stamp set to get the main image panel. They were stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then sponged in Early Espresso ink, a grid was stamped on top in Black stazon ink .
• The Black Card and the Vanilla panel were both run through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder then sponged with Early Espresso ink. The Vanilla panel was also edge with the Eyelet Border Punch onc of my favorites
• With Sympathy from Teeny Tiny Wishes set was stamped in black and punched out with the modern label punch and another black one was also punched out and moved over to the left. A pearl from Basic Jewels was added on the end right there and also 3 pearls were added to the main image panel.

I hope you like this card. It is very striking in real life and the texture just doesn't come through on the picture the way I wish it could but I sent this to a friend of mine who lost her mother recently. I pray it brought her a little bit of comfort.

Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

Update on this one.  Julie Gearinger created the original card with the Button Button set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. You can check all her work out on her blog. Thanks Julie for letting me know. Your blog is great.

Build a Blossom in Daffodil

Sale a bration is such an exciting time. When you want stamps and supplies this is the time to get them. For every $50 you spend at Stampin' Up you earn a free item. That can be a stamp set or some other items listed in the sale a bration catalog. How easy is that?

Here I have made a card using the new Build a BLossom stamp set and the Blossom Petals Punch. It is so fun to stamp and punch. I love it and I bet you will too.

• This card was made with Dafodil Delight card stock and ink.
• Night of Navy ink for the center and accent on the strip
• Eyelet border punch was used for both the DD strip and the card stock weight vellum layer, which was run through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.
• Old Olive card stock got used for the little leaves

I think it is striking and can be used for almost any occasion, just add your sentiment to the inside and it's ready to take a ride in the mail truck. Do you love to get "real" mail. We get so much junk mail these days that a real card in amongst all of that is a real treat. Send someone a treat today. They will love you for it.
