Today I wanted to feature a stamp set that is carrying over from the 2021 – 2022 catalog to the new 2022 – 2023 catalog. The best part however is that the new catalog will also feature a coordinating die set. This die set was previously available as a Sale-A-Bration reward sometime back but had since retired. I am so happy to see it back because with it and the stamp set there are so many beautiful possibilities.
Here’s what I ended up with…
The card base is Basic White cardstock that is cut to 4 ¼ x 11” and scored at 5 1/2” (I wanted to do something a little different so even though I have the card arranged as a landscape card I have it opening from the right to the left instead of the regular bottom to top). I added a layer of Hand-Penned Designer Series paper that measures 4 x 5 ¼”.
I cut a piece of Smokey Slate cardstock to
3 ½ x 4” and stamped it all over using the Floral image from the stamp set and
Gray Granite ink (NOTE: I did stamp off
twice on scrap paper before adding the image to my cardstock so it would be a
light look). I mounted this onto a piece
of Basic Gray cardstock that measured 3 ¾ x 4” and then attached that to the
front of my layers slightly to the left of center. I then stamped two of the smaller floral
images onto Basic White cardstock using Gray Granite ink and die cut them with
the coordinating dies. I stamped the
sentiment Love You, Friend onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured
½ x 3 1/3” using Blushing Bride ink. I
die cut three sets of bottom layers of the leaves from Basic Gray
cardstock. From the Basic White
cardstock, I cut one of the solid layers of leaves, the bottom layer of the
largest flower and the top layer of the smaller flower. I cut the first layer of the larger flower,
the bottom layer of the smaller flower and the single layer flower all from
Blushing Bride cardstock.
To assemble the card, start by snipping
one end of your sentiment off at an angle (this creates interest). Assemble your layered flowers. Now add the two bunches of flowers that you
stamped and die cut onto the front of the card using Dimensionals. Tuck the basic gray leaves and the basic
white leaves in under the flowers and adhere them directly to the card
base. Next add your two layered flowers
using Dimensionals. Tuck the single
flower under the layered flower and on top of the stamped flowers and
adhere. Add your sentiment using
Dimensionals.
For the final step add Pearl Basic Jewels
and Simply Elegant trim. Stamp the
smallest floral image on the inside and front of your envelope using Gray
Granite ink.
