Happy Happy Joy Joy

Good Morning!
Donna Phelan back again for one final post.
 
I am so happy to have been a part of this wonderful Design Team here at Tutti Designs. 
So many wildly talented ladies!  Although I am leaving here I am always around. 
Thanks so much for everything.....especially you, Darlene! 
I am proud to call you my friend!  xoxo
 
This card sums up my feelings to all things Tutti Designs!
 
 
 
I used the fun Nesting Stitched Banners die set.  Aren't they great?!?  This set includes 7 dies.....SEVEN DIES!!!  That's amazing!  Perfect sizes for all of your card making needs!  Typically the banners are used vertically, here I have used them horizontally.  I die cut 5 and placed them on top of a piece of Teal and White Baker's Twine.  Reminds me of celebration flags you would see flapping in the breeze on a boat.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I splattered Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Sweet Mint on my White card stock panel.  Then stamping my sentiments in Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo inks.  A very simple card to make, but I just loooooove it!  Nuvo Crystal Drops in Carnation Pink for accent.
 
 
Here's what I used:

Snowy White Winter Tree CAS Card


Hello and welcome to my final post for the Tutti Designs blog.  Today I'm sharing a serene CAS make featuring our new Winter Tree Stained Glass die.  I cut the image from white glitter stock and layered over a white backing.  The background was embossed with a folder and Stickles highlight the snow.  A simple organza ribbon finish off the design.


Of course, it's hard to photograph the shimmer.  In real life it is so much prettier.


I managed a couple more cards, made during my Friday after Thanksgiving playdate with my mom and dear friend.  This card features one of my favorite Tutti Designs dies, Viney Christmas Tree.


A simple white strip makes the word pop beautifully.  These two cards were super quick, but the gold really packs a punch design wise.


Special thanks to Darlene and the DT for all of their support and inspiration this past year.  I hope you will continue to follow my blog for more Tutti Designs inspiration in the future.  Best wishes, Autumn

Waiting for Santa...

Vicki here....Hard to believe that a month from now, Christmas will be here and gone.  Wow, this month has gone by quickly!

Today, I'm sharing a project, once again, using the Tutti Designs' Cat Stained Glass Panel Die.  I don't own a cat, but this die cut is now a favorite of mine!

"Wishes"

This kitty is awaiting the arrival of Santa!  I created lots of dimension and texture on this card. 


The window scene was created using glitter paper and snowflakes covered with a piece of acetate.  I cut the cat panel from silver metallic paper. 

 
The stained glass die is adhered to the window frame using double sided tape.

 
Next, I added micro beads to the frame.
 
 
The cat is cut from tan and rust velvet papers.  I gave my kitty a Santa hat fussy cut from red velvet and added a white pom pom.  The trim on the hat is crystal glitter glue.
 
 
I used the "Wishes" from the Best Wishes Word Set cut from red velvet paper.

Happy Birthday Puppy

Hello Tutti Friends!
Darlene with you today sharing another fun creation using one of the 'stained glass' dies from our October Release in the Tutti Designs store.    You can use so many different techniques with these dies and each one comes out a beautiful work of art!  
I once again chose the coloring on vellum technique to add color to this sweet image but I did a little something different to bring dimension and attention to the dog.


And,  I've used the 'Dog Stained Glass' die for my card.


 I first die cut my image using white card stock ... then again from black card stock.
Saving the 'neck scarf' pieces from the black die cut.
Wasn't sure exactly how, or if, I was going to use them but saved them till the end.


After adhering my white cut to a panel of vellum, I continued with my coloring.  Using ZIG markers as my coloring medium once again.  Then I carefully snippet the outline of my dog from the black panel to adhere on top of the white panel for added dimension and attention.


A gold metallic marker was used to color the border panels.
And, as you can see, I colored the upper portion of the scarf red but used the black die cut piece for the outer portion of the scarf.

** REMEMBER**  coloring is done on the BACK SIDE of the vellum.

I've used a western themed, paisley designer paper for the background on my card and added a few fun sentiments. The Happy Birthday sentiment are also Tutti Designs dies and the fun stamped sentiment is from Rubbernecker Stamps.

Please be sure to pop over to the Tutti Designs Store and check out all of the fabulous dies in this latest release.  And, of course, you'll want to browse through the store to see what other dies you need to have on hand.

Wings of Peace...

Vicki here again today...not my usual day, but happy to be posting a project with yet another of the elegant stained glass panel dies from Tutti Designs' October 2017 release. 

And, it's Black Friday!  An important shopping day for many holiday shoppers including online purchases.  So, it's a great day to check out the Tutti Designs Store and add to your stash.
My card features the exquisite Hummingbird Stained Glass Panel Die.

"Peace"

In order to replicate a real stained glass window, I used a dark gray cardstock that was the color of solder to cut the die image. 


The A2 card base was made using an embossing folder inked with Coral Distress Ink.


I used Peacock Blue and Pearl alcohol inks to create a background for the window.


I die cut some green, teal and red to piece in the areas for the hummingbird


The glass effect over the image is a piece of acetate cut to size.  The frame was made using two different sizes of rectangle dies and adhered around the window. 


The sentiment is double cut, one as a shadow, from the Snowglobe Expressions Set.

I used the following Tutti Dies...

Stained Glass Cards

Hi friends!  Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!!  Today I'm sharing a project using dies by Tutti Designs!  Tutti Designs has been busy creating away so many fabulous new dies so be sure to stop by the store and check out the new 

Today I have 2 fun cards to share with you, and I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed being on the Tutti Designs team!  Thank you Bailey and Darlene for having me and of course for all the beautiful dies!  I will have one more post after this as we have a brand new team of girls coming to inspire you all!!  

For this card I used the Birdhouse Stained Glass Die and  for the second card I used the Cake Stained Glass Die.


To make this card I I used a white card base. with a black mat and one silver foil mat. You will be cutting out 3 die cuts with this die.  The base will be a cut from black card stock, the die cuts will be Silver Foil card stock, and 1 will be from copper foil card stock.

Remove all the pieces from the black die cut and adhere it to your card base as shown.

When  you cut the next 2 be sure to leave them in tact as you will be using the pieces to inlay into the black base. 

Using a poker punch out the silver pieces around the edges and adhere them to the same place in the Silver Base. Continue until the card is finished leaving a white background for 
contrast. 



The next card will be the same directions only using Silver and Gold Foiled card stock

Using a poker punch out the silver pieces around the edges and adhere them to the same place in the Silver Base. Continue until the card is finished leaving a white background for contrast. When you're finished adding all the pieces

Add a sentiment and these fun cards are ready to send!

Starry Birthday

Good Morning!
Donna Phelan back again.
 
I have a bright sunshiny Birthday card to share with you today!
 
 
 

 
 
I used these fantastic Nesting Stitched Stars from the Tutti Designs Store.  They are from the November 2016 Release.  A classic design that one NEEDS to have in their stash!  I cut 2 different sizes for each stitched star in pretty bright colored Designer Paper.  The larger star was also cut from a chip board like stock, which makes for a sturdier die cut.





 
 
My sentiment was stamped in Melon Mambo ink and the heat sealed using Clear Embossing Powder.  Always a must in my craft room to seal that ink in when using Vellum. 
I am a smudge magnet!  Candy Dots and Enamel Brads for accents.
 
This car measures 3 1/4" x 7".  Perfect for adding a wee bit of cash inside!
 
 
Here's what I used:

Faux Soldered Stained Glass Mountains Card


Hi friends!  Autumn with you today sharing a second take on the lovely Landscape Stained Glass die cut.  I shared the process for coloring this card with you last week HERE.  For this variation I wanted to show you the look of metallic cardstock for the "soldered" sections.  I decided to remove the frame that is made into the die cut and really like this look.  What a versatile die!  The blue mountains remind me of my home, in the Blue Ridge foothills.  I hope you are inspired by this creation today and thanks for your visit!


Purchase your Landscape Stained Glass die HERE today!

Winter Blues...Hugs!

Vicki back again on this third Monday in November.

Today, I'm sharing a card created using the Winter Tree Stained Glass Panel Die from the October release at Tutti Designs.

Are you a warm weather person and have the "winter blues" already?  The trees are bare and have that winter look of no leaves.  Well, hugs for you warm weather lovers out there! 

"Hugs"

This CAS card uses the Winter Tree Stained Glass Panel, Hugs Word Set and Stitched Hearts.  The stained glass panel is cut from gold and matted with blue metallic specialty paper.


 I cut the sentiment and heart from red velvet and offset them using the same dies cut from white cardstock.  Three red jewels in the lower portion of the frame complete the card.
