Doily Wishes Dies

Candle Congratulation

Happy Labor Day!

I decided to spend part of my day crafting! That’s unusual!

I was inspired by this sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches this week –

I say inspired because I made a simple one layer card –

What I was actually playing around with was extending the banner die length in this set!

And, it worked!!! I folded a strip of Whisper White in half placing it past the halfway point on the die.

Ran it through the die cut machine and when opened, it was longer! I smoothed out the crease and stamped the sentiment. (Bottom is the original size.)

The sentiment is a photopolymer stamp called Magnolia Blooms. It is not in the catalog, but inline. Very nice, simple stamp set.

The longer banner fit nicely over the four candles! I’ll be trying this idea again. I hope you enjoy this tip as well!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our newest challenge –

I knew the minute I saw this sketch I wanted to play with the Wish for It All bundle!

Really sweet card, right?

And, perfect for a birthday or wedding or any day someone should just feel special!

The stamped images and the curved die cut sentiment are all from the same bundle.

The background is stamped in Soft Sea Foam on Whisper White. The sentiment is in Smokey Slate on Soft Sea Foam. The cake is Smokey Slate on Whisper White, using the Stamparatus.

A version of this card was featured at my August Card Buffet and everyone loved it! Especially the curved sentiment die cut shape!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

We have another great sketch to inspire you for the next two weeks –

Optional Theme : Plaid / Checks

I’m feeling the fall feels for this challenge!

And, playing with new stuff!

I started with a Cajun Craze card base. When is the last time you pulled out Cajun Craze?? Think about it!

Layered with the Subtle Embossing Panel in Very Vanilla next.

The two Designer Paper strips are from the 2019-2021 6×6 In Color Designer Series Paper in Terracotta Tile. Same pattern, just used both sides!

The leave are stamped in Cajun Craze on both Cajun Craze and Terracotta Tile card stock. I cut them out using the Gathered Leaves Dies.

Sentiment is photopolymer and curved a bit before stamping in Cajun Craze again. I used the curved banner die in the Doily Wishes to cut it out.

This card really does have the fall feels! Wouldn’t you agree??

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday blog or Facebook page. You can also play along with our challenge and show us your cards on either site. We’d love to see your creations!
