First let me just apologize for not posting much lately. I was so busy getting ready for the launch of the new catalog (wait until I can share all the beautiful new products I have been working with) and then my mother-in-law fell and broke her hip and that has consumed us for some time, but I am ready to be back sharing again.
I have been having some fun with some of the new products
as well as the new In Colors featured in the new 2021 – 2022 Annual
Catalog. Today’s share was a card I
designed for my local customers to make during my catalog launch party back on
May 1st.
I wanted to use the new Pansy Petals suite as well as one
of the new In Colors, this one is Polished Pink. So here is what I came up with…
The card base is Polished Pink cardstock that is cut 5
½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I added a
layer of Basic White cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼” that was embossed using
the Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing folder.
Using the dies from the Pansy Patch Bundle I die cut one of the pansies
and one of the pansy buds from Basic White cardstock. I inked them a little especially around the
edges with Polished Pink ink using a sponge dauber. I cut the
throat of the pansy from Polished Pink cardstock and the center from Daffodil
Delight cardstock. The two larger leaves
and one smaller leaf as well as the stem for the bud were cut from Garden Green
cardstock and inked with Garden Green Ink.
I used my Bone Folder to shape my leaves so they looked a little more
natural. I stamped my sentiment which is
from the stamp set in the bundle onto Basic White cardstock with Polished Pink
Ink and then die cut it using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
To assemble the card, I added the Basic White layer on
the card base. I then added a strip of
the Polished Pink paper from the In Color Designer Series Paper that measured 2
x 5 ½” to the left side of the card. I
then added my sentiment centered at the bottom of the card using
Dimensionals. Then I started to build my
pansy. I used Dimensionals again and
once my flower was positioned, I just slipped my bud and leaves up under
it. The final addition was one of the
2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels in the Polished Pink, I just added it to my die cut
for my sentiment for some additional interest.
The inside of the card is just a plain piece of Basic
White cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼” that has one of the little Pansy Buds in the
bottom corner.
I hope you enjoy this card, the guests at my catalog
launch certainly enjoyed making it. As
