Vellum Flower

I cut some vellum using the Sunburst thinlit and then just randomly shortened the rays. Then layered the punched circles over that. Quick and Easy. But you do have to be careful when pulling that vellum out of the sun3ellburst thinlit.

Sunburst Thinlit

 Today's card was made using the Sunburst Thinlit from Stampin' Up! To make this card I cut four of the framelits; one each from Hello Honey, Crisp Cantaloupe, Lost Lagoon and Sahara Sand. Then I used the negative pieces from the Hello Honey, Crisp Cantaloupe and Lost Lagoon to fill in the spaces on the Sahara Sand Sunburst after gluing it to a pieced of white card stock cut to 4 by 5-1/4. After all were glued down I trimmed the excess hanging over the sides of the white cardstock.  I used some of the scraps from one edge to decorate the inside. I finished off the card with stamped expression and layered circle punched shapes and some punched hearts. The hearts were "colored" with clear Wink of Stella to give then some sparkle.

 I found the easiest way to decorate the inside was to trim three edges off three sides of the card front; leaving one edge to work with.

 I cut the outer edge of that untrimmed edge to get a straight edge as shown in the picture below.
 Then I applied a strip of adhesive to the one long edge of the inside Whisper White cardstock (meauring 4x5-14). Then adhered that to the pieces sticking off that one edge of card front. So, when you are looking at the picture below the piece on the right is the back side of the card front and the piece on the left is the back of the card interior. I then used my scissors to cut along the white card stock edges.

 So that you have a row of cut pieces making the design on the interior.

And of course, you have enough sunbursts and negative scraps on your table to make three more cards. Each will have a different color of Sunburst.

World of Congratulations

This card uses some map Designer Series Paper as a background behind the Daffodil Delight Sunburst. I sponged the center of the sunburst with some Tangerine Tango, Then I punched a circle of Pacific Point cardstock, ran that through the World Traveler embossing folder and lastly sponged that circle with Whisper White ink. Then it was putting all the elements together to make the card front. The expression comes from the Something to Say stamp set and inside I stamped the
"Now go change the world." stamp from that same set.

Congrats!

This is a CASE from Dawn Olchefske. This is another quick and easy card. Just involves some layering using Big Shot dies. The colors are pulled from the Designer Series Paper. Lost Lagoon is one of the retiring colors. I'm going to miss it!

KUDOS!

Another Pinterest find. I pulled some diagonal Designer Series Paper and a retired alphabet set and this card went together really quickly. Just stamp the letters and then punch out using the Banner punch. I adhered them to the card using dimensionals. The little grad hat was stamped using the April Paper Pumpkin kit and then fussy cut.and added to the last banner with a glue dot. It's just layereing after that. Quick and easy!

CelebrateToday!

I got this idea from Pinterest and changed it around a litle bit. I did a free hand cut of the grad hat. The tassel for hat is one of the dies from the Balloon framelits. When I was ready to make the inside of the card I decided the negative space left over from stamping and cutting out the balloon would work perfectly.

Graduation Time!

It's graduation time. April's Paper Pumpkin had some beautiful gift card projects. This was one of them and perfect for the three high school open houses that we are invited to here locally. The "envelope" in the background wraps around the white card. See that striped area on the envelope; that is a little pocket to hold the gift card. Love Paper Pumpkin!
