Message in a Bottle Card for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights


Click Here to Vote for My Card

Hello and welcome to my blog. I've made this beautiful thank you card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights. I'm asking you to please vote for my card so I can participate in her Top 10 Blog Hop! CLICK HERE TO VOTE! Look for entry #6. Just click on the heart in the upper right-hand corner. It will turn red when you have voted.


The card I'm sharing with you today features the Message in a Bottle stamp set and punch. The card base is a 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Crumb Cake scored at 5 1/2". The artwork was stamped with the Oceanfront stamp set. The sky is Tahitian Tide, the water Azure Afternoon, and the sand Crumb Cake ink. This piece was cut with next to largest Countryside Corners die. I then stamped the bottle in Pecan Pie ink and the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel before I punched it out with the Vintage Bottle punch. After punching out the bottle, the grass was stamped in Shaded Spruce on the sides.




A Vintage Bottle Shaker Dome was inserted in the punched hole and the stamped sentiment adhered behind the bottle. This piece was then adhered to a piece of Pecan Pie card stock cut with the largest Countryside Corner die.


Pecan Pie ink was applied to the Twisted Rope Embossing Folder and a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" piece of Crumb cake was embossed. To give a more even look, I smoothed the ink out with a blending brush.



To give you an idea of the difference between using ink on the embossing folder and not, look at the picture below. The piece on the left is with ink and on the right is without. Which do you like best?



The artwork was adhered to the Twisted Rope embossing folder. A piece of Natural Way Trim was adhered around the bottom of this piece and then adhered to the card front.



This is how I stamped the inside.

Lazy Days Card for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop




Hello and welcome to Kylie Bertucci's International Winners Blog Hop! Today I'm joining Kylie Bertucci and a group of very talented demonstrators for a blog hop around the world. I'm so excited to be participating in the Top Ten International Highlights Winners Blog Hop! I earned this honor with my card, Cheerful Daisies you can see here. Thank you so much for voting for my card.



The card I'm sharing today features the Lazy Days Stamp Set and Dies. I'll go over some of the highlights, but I have provided links to a free tutorial with all the instructions and a video on my YouTube Channel.

I started with a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. I then cut another piece of Basic White with the largest Deckle Die. On this piece I blended some Pool Party ink in the sky area. The Victorian Trim and porch rail were then added. That then showed me where to stamp the porch floor in Early Espresso.


A basket of foliage was added (Copper blend for the basket and Light Mossy Meadow for the foliage, then a rocking chair (Light Crumb Cake or the Dark one). All the porch elements were stamped in Early Espresso.





And, of course a hanging plant colored with Light Cherry Cobbler and Light Mossy Meadow Blends was hung on the porch.



Click on the box below for your free instructional sheet.
