 Yogi here today with lots of chocolate... Give me some good quality chocolate and I'm in BLISS!!!

I'm using a sentiment stamp from Quietfire Design ("My Dark Side Is Chocolate" 3pce set).

And am using a few of Suzanne's electronic files available on Silhouette onLine store. Click images to purchase.

Colored the chocolates using Tombow markers in various shades of brown, leaving the shine piece white. Applied Versamark and clear embossed the whole chocolate. Adhered 3 of them to the card front.

Opened SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot software) and the - Scalloped Frame. Ungrouped and broke apart to remove the 2 inner ovals, then regrouped the scalloped oval. Cut and pasted the scalloped frame and small oval to page 2 (see pic below). Used the large of the ovals and resized it to the outside dimensions of the scalloped oval. Created a shadow layer or Increased the size by 0.050

Copy this oval and paste it onto page 1 and 2.

On page 1, flip the 2nd oval and merge it slightly with the first then weld the 2 ovals. This is the basic structure for the easel. When cut, score down the center of the top oval.

Hit the card base direct to paper with Distress Oxide "Wilted Violet". 

Inked the scalloped frame with Versafine Clair "Monarch" and clear embossed twice. Adhered to card front.

 Changed the color for the word "wine" and print and cut the oval shape. Adhered to card front. 

On the floor: colored a piece of white cardstock using the oxide violet pad and clear embossed twice. Punched a bunch of circles using a 1/2" circle punch. adhered to a piece of scrap paper to hold the circles in place. Used a white gel pen to add a highlight to each circle. Stamped the leafy bit (lower portion of the "Wine is Sunlight..." quote) using Versafine Clair "Twilight" and fussy cut around the leaves and grapes. Colored with a Tombow marker and adhered to grape cluster. Folded it about a 1/3 down and adhered to floor to act as my 1st stopper.

Cut a small oval, stamped the quote with the Twilight and clear embossed. Folded it between the words and adhered to floor to act as my 2nd stopper.

Stamped the sentiment onto the floor using Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" and clear embossed. Sponged some oxide around the edges.

Final touch added some Liquid Pearls "Orchid" dots in the leafy grape cluster.

Lighthouse, Flip Flops, Beach Ball & Pail Summer - In Summer The Song - Thinking Of You - Easel card

Yogi here today using a bunch of summery files from Suzanne that were meant to be frames... But heck when do I do what's supposed to be done....

I'm using a couple rubber quote/sentiment stamps from Quietfire Design ("In Summer the Song..."); ("Thinking Of You small")

And I'm using 3 Silhouette files from Suzanne. Click on images to purchase 
 

Cut, scored and folded my white cardstock to create the easel structure. Cut another piece same size and adhered to card front. Cut a piece of Dark Blue Ruche heavy paper and adhered to card front. Cut a piece of white cardstock and adhered to card front.

 

Opened SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) and the 3 beach scenes. Ungrouped and separated them putting the lighthouse, rope frame and beach ball on a 2nd page. Color printed it out on white cardstock then fussy cut around the images. Yes I know you can print and cut, but since it was eons since I last did that I couldn't remember how to do it. and since I'm probably not going to use it for another eon... I was too lazy to figure it out...

Cut all the elements on page 1 below and while on my mat colored the various pieces. Inked the clouds with Versamark and embossed with Emerald Creek "Soft Fallen Snow". Adhered my lighthouse, clouds and seagull to my card front.

Stamped the quote using Versafine Clair "Morning Mist".

Yogi here today on the Quietfire Digital Blog and I was really liking the strawberry box by Suzanne that she just uploaded to Silhouette on line store... So of course I had to use it BIG GRIN.

Click on images to purchase 

Cut, scored and folded my cream toned cardstock to create the side folded card structure.

Placed the letters one at a time on my mat using Arial Bold font, then made sure each touched the letters next to it. Grouped and resized to the width I needed (4.5"w). Welded everything together and cut. Colored with Tombow markers. Adhered to card front.

Printed out the quote using the Arial font and cream cardstock, then cut the lines apart. Added a picot on either end and hit the edges with the red Tombow brush end. Adhered to card front.

Cut a misc letter to get the strawberry sprig and then cut it apart from the letter. Or you could just cut another of the inserts, or use the .,? features of the font and weld them together.

On the inside: Opened the strawberry box file and placed the elements I wanted on my mat, copying and pasting some extras. Selected all and resized till I could see one side of my box was approximately 4"w. Cut from white cardstock and while still on my mat colored the elements. I add details when off the mat.

Assembled the strawberries into the box and adhered one side to the inside of the card, making sure when I closed it nothing interfered with closing.

Cut large H & B letters and colored with markers. Adhered to inside. Printed out the rest of the words from cream cardstock, trimmed down, edged with the red Tombow and adhered to inside.

Stamped the "How Sweet It Is" onto white cardstock using Just Rite "Brayton" alphabet letters and a Versafine Clair "Tulip Red" stamp pad. Clear embossed.

Ornate Frame - Nouveau Roses - Happy Birthday - A Bit Of Fragrance Easel card

Yogi here today. Suzanne came out with a bunch of beautiful digital frames and had to use one of them. Also love the deco type roses and I was in a colorful mood...

I'm using a design element background stamp from Quietfire Design ("Crackle Background")

I'm using a clear quote stamp sets from Quietfire Design ("A Bit Of Fragrance Collection" 8pce set)  also available from Elizabeth Craft Designs HERE

Opened SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) and the Ornate Frame. Pulled out the largest frame and deleted the rest. Flipped, squeezed and elongated it and resized it to approx 7"w x 5"h. Copy & paste, then flip top to bottom. Move to join with the first frame, overlapping slightly, weld together. Cut from white cardstock. Then score through the joined point and the upper one at the half way point through those nodes on either side. You now have your easel structure.

  

Copy and paste one of the frames from page 1 to page 2, keeping it the same size.

Paste 2 more of them and while in the same configuration as the original frame - resize them to 5.695" x 4.002 & 4.628" x 3.248" then move and orientate them on your mat to be cut from white cardstock  

The largest layer was stamped with the crackle background using Versafine Toffee and embossing with Queen's Gold embossing powder. Note: I only stamped around the edges pf the frame. No need to stamp the whole thing... Adhered to the bottom portion of the top folded part.

The next layer was colored with Distress Oxide pads direct to paper ("Twisted Citron" and a bit of "Cracked Pistachio") then dry embossed with Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" embossing folder. High points hit with "Peacock Feathers"

Top layer: Quote stamped with Versafine Clair "Twilight" and embossed with Emerald Creek Seth Apter "Eclipse" embossing powder, then sponged with Distress Oxides all over with "Broke China" and "Mermaid Lagoon". Dampened a paper towel and wiped of inks from the quote area.

Added a circle the same size as rose (2.122" sq). copied and pasted 3 more and cut from the decorated cardstock below. Adhered the outlines to the decorated circles and adhered 2 of them the card front.

Opened the Happy Birthday Gear Box, ungrouped (do it several times) then delete all the misc pieces, then delete the gears above and below the Happy Birthday. Move to mat and enlarge to 5.701" x 1.356". Flip from left to right (you need a backward image for next step). Cut from white cardstock. While still on mat, apply a very thin bead of glue to each letter - careful, don't get glue on other areas... then press the decorated cardstock used for flowers onto the letters. Allow to dry a couple minutes then remove from mat and trim down to fit card floor.
 

DECORATED BACKGROUND PAPER: Wet some cold press watercolor paper and drop in Ken Oliver Liquid Metals (Verdis Gris, Amethyst, Sky, and Yellow Gold). playing and tilting and adding more water where needed. let dry.
 

On the floor: Direct to paper with the Twisted Citron and the Broken China. Used a sponge to blend colors a bit.
