Blue & White Dahlia

My best friend in the cities wanted a Dahlia card. So today I sat down and made her one in blues as her favorite color is blue. Didn't have any pretty gemstone brads in blue so used a big silver brad which worked well with this one.

For supplies you need:

Designer paper of choice

Scalloped punch

Whisper White, Not Quiet Navy card stock

Little background stamp ( mine is little tiny butterflies) Retired SU

Not Quiet Navy Ink

Here once again is the directions for the Dahlia. These are so fun and easy to make. First one or two takes sometime until you get the folding technique down but other than that they go quickly.

Same directions as my Sassy Dahlia.

Hope you enjoy

SCS161 with Tea bag folding

I seen the sketch on SCS on Wed. and just had to do it. I had the picture in my head right away of what I wanted to do. I love the sketch challenges.
Here is my creation with the sketch.
Supplies:
Real Red, Basic Black CS
Cerise Designer Paper
Black Grossgrain Ribbon 1/4"
Red Gemstone Brad
Very Vanilla Craft Ink
Itty Bitty Background Stamp the dots one
1" circle punch

Main card done in Real Red it is 4 1/4x5 1/2
Stamped this with the Very Vanilla and the dots from Itty Bitty Background.
Cut Real Red strip at 1 1/2"x 5 1/2" also stamped that the same way as the main card. Then the Basic Black 1/4" bigger and attached the Real Red strip to the black. Set aside.
Cut Cerise DP at 4 14/16th x 5 1/2 Cut the Basic Black at 5x3 12/16th. Layer the Cerise DP to the Black and add to main card centering.
Wrap 1/4" wide ribbon to the narrow strip, tie on right hand side.
Next punch out 8 - 1" circles for the tea bag folded Dahlia. Again step by step directions for this is here. Once competed start adding your Dahlia to the left hand side if your card on the narrow strip. Poke a hole in the center of the Dahlia and added the Gemstone Brad. Attach the strip to the center of the card.
Just that simple. And it turns out so pretty.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed the project for today.

Sassy Dahlia

Wow, girls check out the Technique Challenge on SCS! I seen cards done and just had to check it out. This is so cool. I had a lot of fun with this one and the directions provided was fantastic.

For the today's challenge check here. And for the directions check here.

What I did was cut my card at 5x10 and folded in half to have my main card be 5x5. I used Real Red card stock for that.

Then I got my scalloped punch out, mine measures 1 3/4" but I believe the SU scalloped punch is a little smaller. You can also use a circle punch but the bigger the better. But, then again you don't want it so big you can't fit it on the card. Anyway, I used the Sassy Designer Paper (retired) but still pretty.

Followed the directions. Glued this to a Whisper White piece of card stock that is 4 5/16 square. And my Dahlia was formed. Now the center I have a beautiful gem stone brad that I got from Karen Gibson when I won her blog candy a while ago. Then I layered on Basic Black card stock and punched with the retired Wrought Iron punch on the corners. Layered my WW piece in this and then onto the Real Red that I have for my main card. On my Real Red I stamped little butterflies in White Craft Ink.

Are these not the most prettiest flowers you have seen in a long time? I love how this turned out. Go check out the Technique Challenge this week and create. You won't be disappointed with the results.
