Pucker Me Pink Craft Metal Ornament with Gold Ribbon Medallion

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· July 23, 2014

Happy Wednesday my Stampin’ Peeps! It’s Christmas in July again at StampsAndScrapbooks.com and we’re creating an Ornament Card using Pucker Me Pink Craft Metal and Ornament Framelit Dies. It’s been at least a week since I put a Ribbon Medallion on my cards so I was overdue – LOL!

The base card is SU! Very Vanilla Cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ – Scored and folded at 4 1/4″.
I layered a strip of Precious Pearl Craft Metal onto a piece of 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ Very Vanilla Cardstock and then ran it through the Big Shot in the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder and layered it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Ornament was cut from Add A Little Dazzle Pucker Me Pink Craft Metal using SU! Holiday Ornament Framelits and then passed through the Big Shot in the Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder and attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The center of the Ornament was accented using a Vintage Faceted Buttons Button which was attached with Glue Dots and then embellished in the center with a Pearl Basic Jewel.

The Ribbon Medallion was created with Gold Satin Ribbon and a Jumbo Sticky Round. You can see the VIDEO HERE.
The sentiment is from the SU! Calm Christmas Stamp Set. It was stamped in Gold Encore Ink and embossed using a mixture of Gold Embossing Powder and Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder. The edges were banner cut using the Hexagon Punch.

The Ribbon Medallion has amazing texture! You can see the ripples in the side view.

The corner of the card was accented using 3 Pearl Basic Jewels.

Baby Blue and White Craft Metal Snowflake Card.jpg

· July 16, 2014

It’s HOT in New York this week so I’m enjoying thinking about snow! (Remind me of that when I’m complaining in the winter – LOL.) This week at the Dazzling Diva Design Challenge from Add A Little Dazzle, we are continuing with Christmas in July and the Design Team used Baby Blue Craft Metal Sheets along with Wondrous White Craft Metal Sheets.

I absolutely loved the Craft Metal Snowflake so I chose to do a simple card for it. The Embossing Folder is SU Northern Flurry. The embossed snowflakes are accented with Rhinestone Jewels and the center of the snowflake is a left-over Frosted Embellishment.

A 1/8″ Silver Ribbon was stretched across the front of the card and a bow was attached using Glue Dots. The inspiration photo for this challenge is below. Stop by Add A Little Dazzle to play along! 🙂

Add A Little Dazzle has a limited time Bonus Offer of a “Week 2 Craft Metal Sheet Package.” This package includes 6 sheets of Baby Blue Craft Metal Sheets and 6 sheets of Wondrous White Craft Metal Sheets!

Snowflake Easel Card with Craft Metal

Posted by Cathy Parlitsis

· July 2, 2014

It may be hot, hot, hot outside – but it’s Christmas in July around here! The them for today’s Dazzling Diva Design Challenge card is “Cards that Move or Anything Goes.” The Design Team will be showing Christmas Cards. Mine is a Snowflake Holiday Easel Card using Craft Metal Sheets from Add A Little Dazzle. If you’d like to play along, the Inspirational Photo is below.

Pearlescent Embossing Paste was applied through the Stencil to create the background. A tiny bit of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter was sprinkled on the Embossing Paste while it was still wet.

Polished Purple and Brushed Bronze Craft Metal Sheets were used with SU! Snowflake Framelits to create the Snowflake. The Snowflakes were adhered to each other and the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

When the card is closed, it looks like any ordinary card but, when it is opened, it rests on the sentiment piece which is popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals, creating the Easel.

The base card is 5 1/2″ x 11″ of SU! Whisper White Cardstock scored at 4 1/4″ and 8 1/2″.

The Sentiment was stamped in SU! Rich Razzleberry Ink – which matches the Polished Purple Craft Metal nicely – and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool

Add A Little Dazzle has a limited time Bonus Offer of a “Week 1 Craft Metal Sheet Package.” This package includes 6 sheets of Polished Purple Craft Metal Sheets and 6 sheets of Brushed Bronze Craft Metal Sheets!

Now…on to the card…. I was so in love with these 7 Dots Studio Papers that I had a very hard time covering them with anything! I wanted to use as many of them as possible so I created a tri-fold card and used three different patterns from the Nature Walk Collection.

The base card is SU! Basic Black Cardstock cut 6″ x 12″ and then scored at 4″ and 8″.
The two interior panels have 5-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ pieces of 7 Dots Studio Nature Walk patterned paper adhered to them.
The front panel is SU! Crumb Cake Cardstock cut to 5-7/8″ x 3-7/8″.
A 5-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ piece of Add A Little Dazzle Dark Rich Chocolate Craft Metal Sheet was embossed using the TH French Script Texture Fade and the Big Shot. It was then adhered to a 5-5/8″ x 3-5/8″ piece of patterned paper.
A piece of SU! Crumb Cake Seam Binding was adhered down the front of the card in the center of the craft metal and secured behind with Glue Dots.
The “Tie a Bow Using Your Fingers Technique” (How to Video is HERE) was used to tie a triple bow which was adhered to the seam binding with Glue Dots. The “legs” of the ribbon were positioned and secured with Glue Dots as well.
An Idea-ology charm was attached to the knot in the bow using a jump ring. It was colored using Gold Distress Paint.
The word “Journey” from the TH Hashtag Stamp Set was inked in SU! Early Espresso Ink and embossed using Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. It was then punched with an Oval Punch and secured behind an Idea-ology Ornate Plate. The Ornate Plate was then attached to the card front using a Paper Piercing Tool and Brads.
An Idea-ology Mini Corner was attached to the corner of the Crumb Cake layer and it was then attached to the card front.
