Oranges

stamps used:  Unity stamp co.

Took one stamp set and did three completely different tag/cards.

What I did first was color a piece of white cardstock with a few colors of distress inks.  Only reason I used my distress inks is because they were handy and most of the time that is the reason for all I do.  I stamped the orange image onto the colored cardstock the got out my circle dies to find one about the same size .... next cut out the oranges.  So each orange is a little different in color depending on where it was stamped on the colored cardstock also all the oranges (no matter what size) have Wink of Stella shine on them.  Oh yes, in this stamp set there are full slices and half slices of oranges so you will see each on these cards and tag.

Tag:

1.  adhere a doily on the edge of the tag and cut off any excess.

2.  adhere one of the half oranges onto the doily.

3.  stamp the saying onto a strip of white cardstock with one of the orange distress inks and adhere to tag.

4.  stamp small saying (think positive) around the edge of the tag with same orange ink.  

*wasn't happy with the way that looked so I got out a stencil and add some fun to the tag.*

5.  distressed around the tag with the same ink then tied on ribbon to finish the tag.

Bubble card:

1.  stenciled the bubble on a white card with three distress inks.  Moving the stencil just a little with each color.

2.  layer two of the oranges together onto a black circle then adhered to bubble background.

3.  stamp saying with black ink onto bubbled background under the orange slices.

4.  adhere completely stenciled bubble card to white note card.

5.  add a self sticking gem to the center of the orange slice.

Pendulum card:

*saw this on Dawn's stamping thoughts *

1.  on an orange note card layer a piece of black card then a slightly smaller mustard gold card that was stamped with the half orange with orange ink.

2.  on 3" x 3 1/4" black card punch out window punch (SU paper punch).  The punched out piece is going to be the pendulum for the card.

3.  take the punched out window punch piece and hold it behind the center of the black card with about an inch showing out the top of the card.  punch a small hole then add a small brad through the hole.  now test it to make sure it slides back and forth easily.  you have now created the pendulum.

4.  mount smaller white card that is randomly stamped with half orange image with same orange ink onto the black card with pendulum using pop dots in the four corners.

5.  mount pendulum piece onto layered note card.

6.  adhere full orange slice to pendulum piece.  add self sticking gem to center of orange slice.

7.  on the pendulum sticking out of the pendulum piece on the note card add two small pot dots or a small piece of foam mounting tape to the top of the pendulum.  add the small saying that has been die cut with circles.  The circle saying should now swing back and forth like a pendulum.
