Just A Note

12/14/24 Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

Hey everybody! Well, we’re almost to the middle of December already and you know what that means… Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye! I hope you’re not too busy to enjoy this beautiful season. I’m up on the Scrapbook Pal blog today sharing a tutorial for making a pretty friendship card using the amazing Altenew Dynamic Duo: Blooming Branch & Add-On Die Bundle. OMGoodness, these stencils, stamps and dies are so awesome and make THE most beautiful projects!

I started by creating the focal image on Savoy Cotton Brilliant White cardstock using the stencils in the Altenew Blooming Branch Bundle, my MISTI, a MISTI Sticky Sheet and a variety of Ranger distress inks. I stamped the details on the blooms and then cut the image using the add-on dies in the bundle. Using dies in the Pinkfresh Studio Rounded & Braided Rectangles dies, I cut the card base from Neenah Classic Linen 100# Solar White along with layering panels from 80# Solar White Linen and CutCardStock Peach cardstock.

I popped the smaller panel up on the card base with Scrapbook Adhesives Crafty Foam Tape and adhered the focal image. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set on a scrap piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White using my Mini MISTI, cut it with the coordinating die in the bundle and popped it up with a couple Scrapbook Adhesives Thin 3D Foam Squares. The finishing touch was adding a few iridescent gemstones to the card front.

Using the same Pinkfresh Studio Rounded & Braided Rectangles die set, I cut an inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with two strips cut from Peach cardstock scraps. I stamped another sentiment from the bundle on the Mini MISTI which completed the card.

Howdy peeps, Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share featuring several Prickley Pear Stamps products. I used the Flourished Oval Spring and Birdcage stamp sets along with the Flourished Oval die. This is another project I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. I learned about this multi diamond panel from a tutorial at Beccy’s Place HERE and thought it would be a great background to showcase the stamped and die cut Spring flourished oval. I totally love a green and pink color combo, and the square/diamond geometric shapes look so polished!

I cut the square card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Sweet Mint cardstock along with a large layering panel from Lessebo White. The diamond panels were cut from Lessebo Sweet Mint, Pop Tone Jellybean Green and Lessebo Bubble Gum cardstock along with slightly larger panels to layer beneath them from Lessebo White. I stamped the focal image from the Prickley Pear Stamps Flourished Oval Spring stamp set on CutCardStock Cougar Smooth 100# White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers, and cut it with the coordinating Flourished Oval die. The finishing touch was adding Eyelet Outlet pink pearls to the corners.

I cut the inside panel from Lessebo White cardstock and embellished it with Lessebo Sweet Mint, Pop Tone Jellybean Green and Lessebo Bubble Gum Pink cardstock strips, and stamped a sentiment from the Prickley Pear Stamps Birdcage stamp set in black ink.
