Stamp Simply Summer Floral Release- Pretty Poppies and Delightful Dahlias!

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing two cards that were created with the brand-new Summer Floral bundles- Pretty Poppies and Delightful Dahlias along with dies/other supplies (from Stamp Simply)!

This week we are celebrating the new release by sharing cards created with both sets- I hope you have a chance to check out the Stamp Simply blog to see the inspiration from the rest of our Design Team!

I love both new floral bundles, Pretty Poppies and Delightful Dahlias- both are so versatile! This set of cards uses one sheet of Craft Consortium Grunge Light 6x6 paper layered behind the Mixed Media #1 die cut.

I am participating with the A Place To Start June 2021 Challenge #6- Create Your Own Challenge (Project Type- Card, Event- Encouragement, Trends- Embossing) and the Word Art Wednesday #495-#496 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not had a chance to visit the Stamp Simply blog or the other challenge sites yet, I encourage you to do so- wonderful inspiration from all!

To create both cards:

Emboss two pieces of white cardstock with the Darice Wire Fence embossing folder, trim to 4” x 5 ¼”, adhere to a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of olive cardstock.  Mount the card panel onto a white card base.

Ink the sentiments from the Pretty Poppies and Delightful Dahlias on white cardstock, die cut each with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners dies.

Using the Tim Holtz Mixed Media #1 corner die, die cut two from white cardstock panels and hand tear along the edges.

Choose a piece of Craft Consortium Grunge Light 6x6 paper (I chose one of the darker sheets with greens, purples and yellows). 

Place the torn Mixed Media die cut over the corner of the designer paper, trace a line under the outside edge of the torn die cut, trim the designer paper and adhere the designer paper to the back of the Mixed Media die cut.

Ink the floral image from Pretty Poppies and Delightful Dahlias using Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto white cardstock and set the ink with a heat tool.

Watercolor the images using water-based markers and once you are satisfied with the coloring, die cut each floral image with the coordinating die.  

Layer two pieces of scrap white cardstock together and die cut one of each of the coordinating floral dies.  Layer the blank die cuts behind each of the colored floral die-cut images (this gives the floral images additional thickness). 

Adhere the layered Mixed Media die cut to the card front, mount the banner die cut sentiment and add the floral die cut with dimensional foam (or chipboard).

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the floral petals and add the olive seam binding bow to finish off the card.

TTTC103 Guest Designer- Rejoice in the Lord Always

Hi Friends!

Woohoo- I am so thrilled to be the Guest Designer for the Tic-Tac-Toe #103 Challenge!

One of the “perks” of winning their challenge is that you are eligible to be a Guest Designer in the future- what an honor!

If you are not familiar with the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge , every Thursday, they provide a new challenge board with elements that you can choose either in a row (or rows) or diagonally when designing your card. 

For this card, I decided to pull out a few of my older stamps and paired them with retired designer paper, miscellaneous washi tape and a few other supplies.  I included the items from the left row down (Splatter, Flowers, Green) along with the top row across (Splatter, Washi, Heat Embossing) into the design.

I am also linking to the Splitcoaststampers SC324 Sketch Challenge (from 2012), the Simon Says Wednesday “Beautiful Blooms” Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #481-#482 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

To create this card:

Emboss a piece of green designer paper with a brocade embossing folder, distress the raised portions of the embossing with a sanding block, trim to approx. 4” x 5 ¼” and distress the edges.  Mount onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the floral stamp from Pretty Peonies (SugarPea Designs) with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, watercolor the image with water-based markers and a water brush. 

Watercolor the background and add splatter with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Die cut the image with a stitched rectangle die, mount onto black cardstock and trim close to the edge.

Add the strips of washi tape to the upper corner and mount the image onto the card front with dimensional foam (or chipboard).

De-static a piece of vellum, stamp the sentiment with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared panel, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, trim close to the sentiment, tear the edge and mount onto the card front.

Add a strip of washi tape to the corner and finish off the card with Nuvo™ Morning Dew drops.
