Stamp Simply July 2024 Release- Seed Packet Dahlias

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing another card designed with the brand new Vintage Seed Packet Bundle along with the Delightful Dahlias Bundle and other supplies (all from Stamp Simply). 

The new Vintage Seed Packet Release coordinates well with all of the current floral stamps that Stamp Simply has to offer- what a way to “stretch” those stamps for multiple uses!

To create this card:

De-static two pieces of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the Vintage Seed Packet image and the Delightful Dahlias image with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamp each one onto a piece of the prepared white cardstock. 

Apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Carefully cut around the edges of the Vintage Seed Packet background and use the oval die from the Vintage Seed Packet Ovals and Twigs dies (part of the Vintage Seed Packet Bundle) to cut out the oval in the center of the seed packet image.

De-static another piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the “Sending Hugs” sentiment from Delightful Dahlias with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Trim the sentiment panel a bit and mount behind the oval die cut area on the Vintage Seed Packet image, adhere the entire layered panel onto a piece of purple designer paper from the Craft Consortium Ombré 6x6 paper pad.

Mount onto black cardstock (approx. 4” x 5 ¼”) and adhere to a white card base.

After coloring the Delightful Dahlia image with water-based markers and watercolor pencils, die cut the coordinating die, trim off the stems a bit and adhere to the front of the card panel.

Add the purple seam binding bow and a few pearls to finish off the card.

Stamp Simply July 2024 Release- Seed Packet Peony

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a card designed with the brand new Vintage Seed Packet release, Vintage Seed Packet Bundle and the Vintage Peony Bundle (all from Stamp Simply). 

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock and a piece of gray patterned designer paper (from the Craft Consortium Baroque 6x6 paper pad) with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the Vintage Peony image and the Vintage Seed Packet background stamp using Versafine Black Onyx ink.  Stamp the peony image onto the white cardstock panel and the background image onto the gray designer paper.

Apply clear embossing powder to both images and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the oval from the center of the background image using the Vintage Seed Packet Bundle dies and die cut the peony image with the coordinating Vintage Peony die.

Watercolor the peony using distress inks and watercolor pencils.

De-static a piece of black cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sentiment from Vintage Peony with Versamark ink, apply white embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiment with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners Die and layer behind the peony image.

Trim the background stamp image close to the edge of the image, mount onto white cardstock (leaving the lower edge of the die cut oval unattached for the moment).

Trim the white cardstock, mount onto black cardstock, trim and mount onto poppy cardstock.

Insert the colored/die cut peony into the oval die cut area (trimming off the stem to allow it to fit) and adhere to the interior of the oval.

To finish off the card, add a bit of dimensional foam under the sentiment die cut and a strip of the gingham Echo Park Farmers Market designer paper to the inside left hand panel.

Proud To Be An American

Hi Friends!

For those of you in the United States, I hope you had a great Independence Day!  I am sharing another card designed using the brand new release stamp set, Patriotic Background along with The Red, White & Blue Bundle and Patriotic Sentiments (all from Stamp Simply). 

This card is very similar to my last post and once the coloring was finished, it is fairly easy to assemble and relatively flat for mailing.

To create this card:

De-static a piece of white cardstock and a piece of light kraft cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the Patriotic Background stamp using Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamp onto one of the panels and repeat the same process with the flag image from The Red, White & Blue Bundle on the other panel. 

De-static the lower part of the shield panel, ink the “Happy Independence Day” sentiment from the Patriotic Sentiments stamp set using Versafine Black Onyx ink at the bottom of the background stamped panel.  Apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Apply clear embossing powder to both panels and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color the background and flag image with water-based markers and watercolor pencils.

Use a gold metallic paint pen to fill in around the shield and stars on the background and the star on the flag pole.

Once you are satisfied with the coloring, de-static the middle area of the background with an embossing powder tool, ink the “Proud to Be An American” sentiment from The Red, White & Blue Bundle with Versafine Black Onyx Ink, stamp onto the prepared area and apply clear embossing powder. 

Heat set the embossing powder and once cooled, trim close to the edge of the background perimeter and layer onto a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock.  

Mount the background panel onto a 4 ⅛”x 5 ⅜”  piece of red cardstock and adhere to a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” white card base.  

Die cut the flag image with the coordinating die (also die cutting a second flag image to layer behind the colored image).

Mount the flag onto the card front with dimensional foam.

To finish off the card. add a strip of star designer paper to the inside left hand part of the card base (I like to use up my scraps this way).   

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be participating with the Color Throwdown #800 Red, Blue and Kraft Challenge , the Simon Says Wednesday “Stars and/or Stripes” Challenge, the Colorful Options "July 2024 Flags" Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #655-#656 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
