It’s Friday again! This week at the Friday Mashup we’re
having a celebration! It’s the 100th challenge this week! So not
only do we have a fabulous challenge, but you can even win a $25 Stampin’ Up
Gift Certificate for playing along with the challenge. This week we get to pick
our favorite past Mashup challenge to feature. There are so many choices it’s
really hard to pick one. I decided to go with Mashup #7 Which mashes up
creating a feminine card with ribbons and pearls. I am truly a girly girl at
heart and I love bling and ribbon! So this challenge was right up my alley.
Take a look at the card I made.

2. or Tell us what you like about the Challenge You picked!
I started off by cutting a piece of Very Vanilla card
stock 4-1/4” x 11” and scored it at 5-1/2”. Next I cut a piece of Calypso Coral
card stock 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" and ran it through the Big Shot twice to cut both long edges
with the Finishing Touches Edgelit. Next I cut a piece of Tea for Two DSP 2-7/8" x 5-1/2" and adhered it onto the Calypso Coral card stock. This was adhered to the
card front then I sprayed the card front with some Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz
to add some shimmer. This color of smooch is retired, but you can still get it
on the Clearance Rack if you hurry!
Next I cut a piece of Chocolate Chip card stock 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" and ran it through the Big Shot on my Delicate Doilies Sizzlit. I adhered this
onto the right side of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the
greeting from Everyday Elegance onto a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock in
Chocolate Chip ink, then added the butterfly in Calypso Coral ink. I cut out
the greeting with my Apothecary Accents framelit and bejeweled it with several
Pearls before adhering the label onto the doily with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The leaves punched from the bird punch and the embossed
butterfly with the pearls were sitting in my scrap bowl. If I make an element
or have extra punched pieces I toss them into a bowl that I leave on my table
so I can use them on other projects. This keeps me from wasting perfectly good
pieces.
I use a 2-Way Glue Pen to adhere the two branches on the
bottom of the doily. Then I cut three flowers from the fabulous new 7/8” Flower
Trim in the Spring Catalog. I took a sponge with some Calypso Coral ink and
dabbed it on the Very Vanilla flowers to give them some color then I adhered
the blossoms onto the doily with some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I
wrapped a piece of 5/8” Very Vanilla ribbon around the card front and tied it
into a bow then used a Glue Dot to adhere the butterfly onto the card front.
I am so happy with how this card came out! Lots of lovely
little details that add up to one truly girly birthday card!
Head on over to the Friday Mashup to see what the rest of
the design team has created, and don’t forget to enter your project for a
chance to win that $25 gift certificate!
