Lacy and Lovely Top Note

I suspect that you are probably getting tired

of my use of this set.  It is just so easy and elegant to

create with!

In this example, the images were stamped on 

Window Sheets and adhered to Glimmer Paper 

with Crystal Effects.  The Crystal Effects is clear

and holds really well, so is the perfect adhesive for the job.

Set:  Lacy and Lovely

Colors:  Whisper White, Basic Black & Stazon Ink, 

Rose Red and Silver Glimmer Paper

Accessories:  Big Shot Top Note Die, Circle Punches,

White Embossing Powder, 1 1/4 inch 

Pink Pirouette/Rose Red Two Tone Ribbon (mini p 13)
  
Note: I heated the edges of the ribbon to seal and 
curl it.

WELCOME to another Llama Blog Hop!

I'm so glad that you're here.

I bet you enjoyed seeing Stephanie's darling projects.

 

SU has made some individual clear mount,

single stamps available for purchase.  The 

Ears To You set is one of them. This set is so 
darn cute.  In this example,

I've used a marker (omitting) to position 
the sentiment at the bottom

of the card, while omitting one bunny in the focal image. 

Colors:  Whisper White, Gumball Green, Primrose

Petals, Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Pack

Accessories:  Finishing Touches Edgelits,

Gumball Green Ribbon, Gold Brad 

I wanted to include a Dress Up Framelit sample because
 this product is so versatile.  You might also note that

I used the sentiment from "Ears To You" on
this project, too. I used a marker to omit the word "Ears".

The image above shows how I created the vest to go

with the dress cut out.  I cut out 2 Basic Gray dresses and

then positioned the Labels Collection Framelit as shown.

The positioning was flipped for the opposite side of the vest. 

As shown in the photo, make sure that you 1) don't cut off

the shoulder/sleeve portion of the dress and 

2) leave the "bumps" at the bottom of the framelit so that 

you end up with a vest with an angled bottom edge.  I sponged

around the vest edges, to further highlight that layer.

Crystal Secret Garden Pursuit

This is another example of the "Caught in Crystal" 

technique.  Reinker colors included Daffodil Delight

and Tangerine Tango (I think??  I tend to grab
reinkers and then forget what I used).
  

Sets:  Secret Garden, Pursuit of Happiness

 

Colors:  Whisper White, Black Stazon,

Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight

Accessories:  3/8" Black Taffeta Ribbon,

Secret Garden Framelits, Retired Eyelet Border Punch,
Glossy c/s, Window Sheets, Crystal Effects, reinkers 

    

Caught in Crystal Variation

There are various directions on the internet, 

for a technique called "Caught in Crystal".

That name is often given because it uses a SU product

called Crystal Effects (page 177 of the main catty).

It is an elegant, but very messy technique.

Steps:

1) Cut pieces of Glossy White card stock and Window Sheet

(p 160) that are the same size.

2. Place the piece of Glossy C/S on waxed paper.

Squirt Crystal Effects on to the piece of Glossy c/s.

3)  Place several small drops of reinker on the

Crystal Effects.   In the example above, I used

Primrose Petals, Delightful Daffodil and Pacific Point.

4) Spread the reinker around, just a little.

5) Press the Window Sheet piece down on the 

Crystal Effects/reinker mixture.

Note:  You can stamp on the Window Sheet with

Stazon ink prior to this step if desired.

 

6)  Let dry, overnight if possible.  This is likely to be very wet

I stamped my sentiment from Lacy and Lovely

 on the c/s layer.  I also 

ran the bottom edge of the layer through the 

Delicate Designs Embossing Folder (p 188).

Assemble layers and Crystal Effects detail.
