World's Best Father

It's almost Father's Day, and I have created a special card for my dad:

I love the gorgeous papers in the World of Good DSP selection, as many of them are tinged with brass accents. And I love Misty Moonlight, one of the new In Colors. Combining them made for a beautiful card.

This is a fairly simple card; most of the work is done with the World Map dies.

The card base is Misty Moonlight, with a layer of the new Brass Foil sheets. And then there's that DSP - oo-la-la! A subtle pattern of a map on Misty Moonlight, with concentric circles of brass foil. So pretty!

My globe was cut with Brass Foil, and layered over a Misty Moonlight circle, then added to the "stand". The greeting is from Itty Bitty Greetings, and I added the feather pen and inkwell, cut with the dies.

And of course there's coordinating envelope - I stamped the hemisphere in Misty Moonlight ink on the front.

Inside:

Just the perfect finishing touch - a matching stamped "earth" and the lovely sentiment.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!

World of Good

Do you like beautiful designer paper and fabulous images? How about texture and brass? If this describes you, then don't miss the World of Good suite from the new Annual Catalog, on pages 24-26. Perfect for creating masculine cards, this group of products also fits the bill for preserving your travel memories. Or, if you are like me and have places to go, how about creating a wish list of exciting destinations?

First, let's take a peek at this gorgeous suite, and then I'll show you a card:

So how about seeing a few of the products on a card:

When my Ink Master team had a Zoom meeting last month, one of our demos, Melanie, shared a Mystery Card. She told us what products to have on hand, and then walked us through creating the card over Zoom. And this was my project.

We created a see-through front of the card, allowing the message to show through a Window Sheet. Isn't that fun? And check out the products on this card:

That globe! Easy to make with the coordinating World Map dies. I cut the stand and the world overlay out of Brass Foil, and layered the world over a circle (one of the included dies) of Early Espresso.

Isn't that beautiful?

And then look at the paper:

It looks like a topographical image. I just love it! (Although you HAVE to see the other papers; this one doesn't compete with the Window Sheet and image below, but some of the others have fabulous brass foil accents and vintage imagery!).

Look at the script of the greeting - isn't that beautiful? The Beautiful World stamps have two globes (two hemispheres) along with a few vintage images (feather, ink well and compass) and 5 wonderful phrases. It's just a gorgeous set!

It really is a beautiful world!

Whale Wishes

Today is my grandson's 4th birthday, and since I just got my box of new Stampin' UP! goodies, I couldn't wait to make him his card. I had wrapped a present for him in paper with octopi (many octopuses?) on it, and the Whale of a Time suite seemed like the perfect products to use. Take a look:

I know - that octopus stamp is now retired, but once you see the whole card, you'll know why I had to pull it out.

I saw a card on Rachel Tessman's blog using Whale Done along with the Whale of a Time designer series paper. It's a template I have made before, but her card got my juices flowing...

This multi-panel card allows you to use nearly an entire sheet of 6" x 6" DSP. Isn't it cute?

Start with a piece of cardstock (I used Pretty Peacock) that is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", but score it at 1-1/4" and 4-1/4". Fold on the 4-1/4", like making a regular card, but then fold back on the 1-1/4", so that you have a flap on the front of the card.

Trim your 6" x 6" DSP, taking a bit off the top only (I cut mine to 5-3/8" x 6"), and then cut it into three pieces: 2-1/4", 1-5/8", and 2-1/8". These will make your panels. You will also need a neutral panel to stamp on (I used Whisper White, cut to 1-13/16" (yes, I really mean 13/16") x 5-3/8".

When adhering the DSP on the front flap, be sure to add it so that it overlaps the inside of the card--only put glue on the left half of the DSP, and adhere that to the card flap.

And look at that pop-up whale:

By making a little square (using the piece of DSP that you cut off the top, cut to 2-1/2" x 3/8" and scored at 1/2", 1", 1-1/2" and 2") and glueing it on either side of the fold, you can add your whale (punched with the Whale Punch) and have him pop up when the card opens.

I stamped some of the images from the Whale Done set directly on the DSP - the sea turtle, a seahorse, some goldfish and a jellyfish. I also added some seaweed to the white panel.

And then there's that octopus - from Sea of Textures, stamped in Granny Apple Green and cut with the coordinating dies, I had him hold up the number 4 from the new Playful Alphabet dies. And check out that embossed background - the new Seabed embossing folder (part of the Whale of a Time suite) has great sea-inspired shapes!

This is a wonderful suite of products, and I can't wait to play again.
