Carousel Birthday Watercolor Card

Carousel Birthday Watercolor Card

Dimensions:

Night of Navy CS - 4 1/4 x 11 (score at 4 1/4 for card base)

Very Vanilla Thick CS - 4 x 5 1/4, 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, scrap for stamping

Watercolor Paper - 3 3/4 x 3 3/4, scrap for clouds

Hey Guys!!  Today's project uses the Carousel Birthday and Lift Me Up stamp sets along with the Up & Away Framelits dies.  I just LOVE LOVE LOVE these stamp sets together!!  The Carousel Birthday stamp set is retiring and will be guaranteed available until May 22nd.  After that, it will be available while supplies last.  SO if you love this as much as I do, make sure to get it before it is gone forever!!  The Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Framelits will be carrying over into the new catalog!!  YAY!!

For the background on my card, I used Watercolor Paper, Lemon Lime Twist and Night of Navy inks.  I just sponged the inks on, using a handmade template, then spritzed it with water and dabbed off the excess water with another sponge.  A piece of paper towel would also work for this.  I stamped on the tents in the background using a second generation ink.  The clouds were inked and spritzed similar to the background, I then brushed on some Clear Wink of Stella to make them shimmer!!  Gotta have my shimmer!!   I hand cut the Ferris Wheel and popped it up using Stampin' Dimensionals and used the dies in the Up  Away Framelits to cut out the little This card was actually pretty simple, in theory, to make.  Just a bit time consuming to cut everything out with the Big Shot.

Up & Away Tea Bag Holder

Up & Away Tea Bag Holder

Dimensions: 

Night of Navy CS - 3 x 11, 3 x 4

Whisper White CS - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Carried Away DSP - 3 x 3 3/4, 3 x 1 3/4, 3 x 1 1/4, 3 x 1 

Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4

Isn't this just the CUTEST little Tea Bag Holder ever??!!  I was browsing Pinterest for a 3-D project and ran across the tutorial for this over on the Pootles Papercraft website.  I absolutely fell in love with it and decided it would be for today's project!!  

The original tutorial for the envelopes that hold the tea bags used the Envelope Punch Board, but I don't have it.  I did however have the Gift Box Punch Board and noticed that it had the same punch.  SO with a little creative measuring, I was able to use Gift Box Punch Board!!  YAY ME!!  LOL  I used the Carried Away DSP in the SAB catalog along with the Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Thinlits Dies.  LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!!!  When you purchase the Lift Me Up bundle, you are under $5 away from earning a FREE Sale-A-Bration item, which can be used to get either the Carried Away DSP OR the Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack where the Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper comes from.  

The video is a bit lengthy, BUT I promise you, it is well worth the time to watch it!!  Make sure to "SUBSCRIBE" to my YouTube channel to receive notifications when I post new videos as I am adding 4-5 new videos each week!!  In addition to the video tutorial I made, I also have printable/downloadable instructions below the Supplies Used.
