Good Monday morning my fellow stampers. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I don’t usually rush weeks, but the end of this week is OnStage. I’ll get to see the new 2019-2020 Annual catalog and all the new goodies coming out. Hopefully next Monday I’ll be able to share some things with you.
For today’s card I really went outside of my comfort zone. It’s not straight, and I meant to do this, it’s just not my normal. I used the Stampin’ Up Wishing You Well Stamp Set, which was carried over from the holiday catalog. This set has the most realistic bow ever. I think that is one of the reasons I bought it. Here’s my card.
I also joined in with CAS Colours and Sketches #315. Here are their colors for the week.
I started with a card front of the Brights 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper in Gorgeous Grape and adhered it to a Gorgeous Grape card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the bouquet from the Wishing You Well stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink. I added the flowers to the bouquet in Gorgeous Grape Ink. I cut the image out using my Big Shot and the Square Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I stamped the bow from the same stamp set in Grapefruit Grove Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips. I cut a scalloped square frame from the Layering Squares Framelits Dies out of Grapefruit Grove cardstock. I did this by picking the scalloped square I wanted to use and took a solid square 2 sizes smaller and cut them out together with my Big Shot. On a strip of Granny Apple Green cardstock I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Greetings in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my Grapefruit Grove Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.
It took me a while to arrange this to my liking, but once I got it I secured the frame in the corners using Glue Dots. I adhered the artwork over the frame using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the bow to the bottom of the bouquet using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added a few Grapefruit Grove Share What You Love Artisan Pearls to the artwork and the sentiment.
On the inside I stamped the bouquet from the Wishing You Well stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink, stamping off twice, in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the flowers in the bouquet in Gorgeous Grape Ink stamping off 3 times. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Strong and Beautiful Stamp Set in Gorgeous Grape Ink over the bouquet. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Grapefruit Grove mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Gorgeous Grape card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the bouquet from the Wishing You Well stamp set the same as I did for the card on the envelope front. I adhered a piece of the Brights 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
