Comfort & Hope and 
Playful Alphabet 

Another CASE (Copy And Share Everything), from page 88 of the 2020-21 Stampin' Up! catalog.  I am really liking the new Comfort & Hope stamp set.

Recipe: (building from base)

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Calypso Coral, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Coastal Cabana layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Whisper White layer is 5 x 3 3/4.
• One of the small background stamps from Comfort & Hope is inked with Versamark, and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I sponged over the embossed area with Bermuda Bay ink and a sponge.
• The 3 3/4 x 2 5/8 piece of Whisper White is the base for the Calypso Coral piece that is cut out with the, second from the largest, Stitched So Sweetly dies.
• I used the new Foam Adhesive Sheets when I cut out my letters.  Once the letters are cut out, the sticky foam adhesive makes it so easy to pop up the letters. I can see me using these foam adhesive sheets for lots of cutouts.  They are awesome.  
• The hearts are from the Dog Builder Punch and Calypso Coral cardstock.
• I used a Pretty Peacock marker to ink the words and stamped on a 2 x 1/2 piece of white.  The tail is made with my Paper Snips.
• I sprayed the card with a mixture of Frost White Shimer paint and a little alcohol.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

Tasteful Touches, 

Here's a Card, and 

Marbling Technique

My wonderful, dedicated, and loyal Hostess Club members made these cards when we met for our July 22, 2020 meeting.  

I believe everyone had fun "rolling their marbles", even while wearing masks.

We used so many colors of cardstock and ink to name, and almost any color combination works.

I saw this technique demonstrated by Mary Tautner on YouTube, and you can see her video Here.  

Recipe:

• The bases are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.
• The second layers are 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Whisper White layers are 5 x 3 3/4.
• The strip of cardstock on top of the white is 3 3/4 x 1 1/2, backed with foil.
• All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.

Gorgeous Posies Project Kit & Altered Card

The Gorgeous Posies Project Kit comes with everything you need to make 16 "gorgeous" cards and even has a beautiful box to hold all of them.  What a fantastic gift!!

The coordinating stamp set, Gorgeous Posies, is sold separately, however, almost any set of stamps works well.

This is an example of an altered card I made from the set.  

Recipe: (for the altered card)

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Highland Heather (from the kit), scored at 4 1/4.
• The Gold Foil layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Gorgeous Posies Kit layer is 5 x 3 3/4. (I trimmed it down).
• I used a die from the Ornate Layers Dies and some Gold Foil to make the base for my Highland Heather rectangle. 
• I heat embossed the words, from Here's a Card, with Gold Embossing Powder.
• I used two of the die cuts from the kit for the flower and leaves, and used glue dots to apply them to the corner of the Happy Birthday piece.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
