Hi Again Stampers!
I hope all of you are having a great week so far! I had the pleasure of spending my day with two wonderful friends celebrating a belated birthday for one and creating
a card together (I cannot think of a better way to spend time with friends :-))
I wanted to take a moment to share her birthday card and matching gift that I had created- both were designed using the colors from this week’s CQC226 ColourQChallenge , the card also incorporated the STS#12 Sketch from Seize the Sketch and the coordinating
gift qualifies for the Stampin’ Royalty SR212 “Anything But A Card Challenge”.
The colors looked so soft and feminine, I just had to create more paper roses and since my friend loves the vintage style, I had to comply- lol!!
If you have not done so, I hope you will find the time to visit all three sites- I love
their Design Teams’ inspiration not to mention the variety of the many other entries they have
each week!
Create the rolled roses for the card using the 2 3/8”, 1 ½” and
1 ¼” Scallop Circle Punches. Punch out two
of the 2 3/8” Circles from Primrose Petals cardstock and one from Blushing
Bride cardstock. Punch out two of the 1 ½”
Scallop Circles using Primrose Petals cardstock and one from Blushing Bride
cardstock and lastly, punch out one 1 ¼” Scallop Circle from Blushing Bride cardstock. Run all of the punched scallop circles through
the retired Crimper Tool (twice for each circle), hand “scrunch” , hand cut a
wavy spiral toward the center on each one, roll up starting from the outside
edge toward the middle and adhere using Tombow Multi-Adhesive or a Hot Glue Gun
(I prefer using the Hot Glue Gun with a Silicone Sheet). If needed, here is a basic written tutorial fromSplitcoaststampers using Designer Series Paper- I have found that cardstock is
sturdier and will allow more manipulation of the petals to give a realistic
look…
Punch a few leaves from Crumb Cake cardstock using the Bird
Builder Punch and set aside.
Use the Big Shot™ with the Scallops Textured Impressions™
Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Crumb Cake and Beau Chateau Designer
Series Paper (both from retired sets of DSP)- lightly sand with the Sanding
Block to bring out the white core and adhere to a piece of Primrose Petals
cardstock, trim and mount again onto a piece of Crumb Cake, trim and mount onto
a piece of Primrose Petals.
Add the Pink Pirouette colored lace (pretty but also represent
the banner in th and the sketch), add the satin ribbon to cover the edge and
the string of Pearls.
Adhere the leaves first and then the roses using the Hot Glue
Gun.
Stamp the sentiment from Express Yourself (2013-2014 hostess
set) using Primrose Petals Classic Ink onto a scrap piece of the Beau Chateau
DSP, create the banner using the Hexagon Punch, add to the card using Stampin’
Dimensionals™ and finish with a string of Pearls.
Mount the entire panel onto the Pink Pirouette card base to
finish off the card.

Can you tell the mistake I
made on the card? I accidentally mounted
the lower Crumb Cake portion upside down…oops!!
Too late to change now- lol!!
The coordinating gift was
a battery operated Vanilla scented wax candle- using the Hot Glue Gun, I added
the lace around the candle and created the larger roses using Primrose Petals
cardstock and the Big Shot™ with the new Spiral Floral Originals™ Die. Again, the same steps were taken as with the
punched flowers – crimp, “scrunch” and roll (you do not need to cut with the
new die- yea!!). I also created a few of
the smaller roses with the 2 3/8” Scallop Circle Punch and used the Bird
Builder Punch for the leaves.
