Music From The Heart

May 29, 2020 / Leave a comment

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today I am sharing three cards with several of my favorites:

First Card with my favorite- Music From The Heart:

Dawn Olchefske achieved one million dollars in sales and designed this stamp set as one of her many rewards!

When you reach one million will you design a set with me?

Of course if Toons4Biz will allow it.

This is Whisper White with a white background and natural light just like I researched would be best for picture taking and now I have a bluish white instead of yellow.

Better go back to the Youtube videos on that one.

Sigh….

The hearts have Wink of Stella to add some sparkle. I felt like Cinderella with the birds making the bow.

Recipe:

Base: Basic Black 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 Scored at 4 1/4

Top: Make 2 – 5 7/16 X 4 3/16 I know, crazy, but I wanted just a little black. Go to the 5 1/2 mark and move back 1/16 to get 5 7/16. For 4 3/16, go to 4 1/4 and move back 1/16. That is easier than counting 16ths.

Piano: Whisper White 2 1/8 X 2 3/4

Two Keyboard Pieces to layer at the bottom: 3 X 2 1/4, stamp twice and fussy cut. Adhere to bottom and then fussy cut around the bottom inside and out.

6 ” of twine

To cut your white top piece:

place a pencil mark from the top right corner over 3/4″ and from the corner down 2 1/4″
place two pencil marks from the bottom left corner up 1/4″ and up 1/2″
cut diagonally from the 1/4″ mark at the bottom to the 2 1/4″ mark at the top right
cut diagonally from the 1/2″ mark at the bottom to the 3/4″ mark at the top right
shave off 1/16″ on each side of the middle piece

We need a visual for that.

Okay, let me grab the sketch book.

Once they are cut remember to cut off just 1/16″ from each side of the middle piece so you have the black showing.

Second Card with two Favorites: Beautiful You and Special Celebrations:

I have used a stamp from this set on so many different cards. Today I used it on a graduation card that I am casing from Sharon Armstrong.

The Congratulations is from the retiring Special Celebrations set:

Recipe:

Base: Gorgeous Grape 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 Scored at 4 1/4

Layer 1: Smoky Slate 3 3/8 X 4 5/8

Layer 2: Gorgeous Grape 3 1/4 X 4 1/2

Top Layer Outside and Inside: Whisper White 3 X 4 1/4 – make 2

Inside Layer: Smoky Slate 3 3/8 X 4 5/8

Cap: Gorgeous Grape 1/2″ square

Diploma: Copy Paper 1/2″ X 5/8″ rolled up and tied with a double wrap of 2″ of colored twine

Tassle: 8″ colored with the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend

wrap twine 4 times around 1″ of cardstock
cut the bottom ends and remove from cardstock
slip the top ends on the end of your Take Your Pick tool
tie another short piece of twine twice around 1/4″ from the top
Use a glue dot to adhere the top to the middle of the cap
punch a 1/16″ circle from Gorgeous Grape and put on top of the tassle

I used the Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend to color the dress and create sleeves then used a black journaler pen to color the edges of the sleeves. Ivory Stampin’ Blend was used for the legs and arms and Smoky Slate for the shadow. Wink of Stella was used to color the slip.

‘Congratulations’ was stamped in Versa Mark and then sprinkled with Silver Embossing Powder and heat set. The inside greeting is a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp.

Third Card with Two Favorite Retiring Items – Flourishing Phrases and the Pretty Label punch:

The Flourishing Phrases greeting set and the Special Celebrations set are excellent additions to your collection and you will use them over and over. I used Flourishing Phrases for a sympathy card in a Mystery Card Challenge. That is a challenge where you are given a specific list of supplies and measurements and you create a card with just those supplies.
