I hope you enjoyed all the ideas and projects featured last weekend at the
Stampin' Addicts Occasions Mini Blog Hop! If you didn't have a chance to go through them, check here for my blog post featuring
You're a Gem stamp set and
Botanical Gazette DSP. From there, you can click through to all the blogs and projects featuring new items from the
Occasions Mini Catalog.

Here's another look at the Queen for a Day card I featured as one of my projects. The
You're a Gem stamp set has such fun sentiments in it - I really enjoyed playing with it as I got ready for the blog hop. For this card I used
Clearly for You stamp set,
You're a Gem and a piece of paper from the
Botanical Gazette DSP. I followed the color lead from the
Botanical Gazette paper, using
Bravo Burgundy and
Marina Mist, then paired with
Very Vanilla. I stamped the script background
En Francais in
Bravo Burgundy ink over the
Bravo Burgundy card base. The rectangles are an image from
Clearly For You stamped in
Early Espresso ink onto
Very Vanilla cardstock. I sponged the edges in
Early Espresso ink as well and then mounted them with
Stampin' Dimensionals for some lift. I tucked a tab of
Very Vanilla 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon behind the top piece. I stamped the sentiment in
Early Espresso ink onto
Very Vanilla cardstock and then punched it out with my
Large Oval Punch and sponged the edges in
Early Espresso ink. This is layered onto a piece of
Marina Mist cardstock, punched with the
Decorator Label Punch and sponged with
Marina Mist ink. Finally, I stamped the crown from
Clearly for You in
Bravo Burgundy ink and added
Dazzling Diamonds Ultra Fine Glitter with my
Two Way Glue Pen for lots of sparkle. This is cut out with my
Paper Snips and adhered with a
Stampin' Dimensional over the sentiment.
TIP: When cutting out an image, move the paper, not your scissors and if you don't want a white edge, run the matching Marker brush tip around the finished piece. This darkens all those little white areas and gives a clean, crisp cut edge.
