POST KNEE – PROJECT THREE

Hello and thank you for popping by. I may have been M.I.A. for a week but I am so excited to share another project with you – I hope that you like it!

For today’s card, I decided to use the Elegantly Said Bundle – a stamp set and punch bundle. I also used the Designer Series Paper from the Suite.

ELEGANTLY SAID BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

Here is the card that I made.

For this project, I started by cutting 1-3/4″ strips of Basic Black cardstock. I trimmed short, narrow wedges from each end of the cardstock so that I could easily slide the narrow end into the punch to cut just this shape. Then I used my Paper Trimmer to cut three of the pieces at 3″. I kept the fourth piece to use later for the sentiment.

I used Versamark, White Embossing Powder and my Heat Tool to stamp the floral image on each Basic Black piece. Once done, I used Stampin’ Blends to colour each floral image – Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent. The Polished Pink was much brighter than the other two colours, so I used the Colour Lifter to tone back the pink a little.

Before I attached these elements, to the layer of Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper, I wrapped a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the DSP. There are tiny slivers of the ribbon peeking from between the stamped elements. The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed before being trimmed back to a much smaller size and attached to the card front. I tied a small bow using a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon and attached it, as you can see, using a Mini Glue Dot. The final touch was to add three areas of 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels.

These are some of the products I used to make this card. What do you think?

CAN’T RESIST – A WATERCOLOUR RESIST

For the second card I made yesterday, I used the single poppy stem. I stamped it five times using Versamark and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder, onto a piece of Watercolour Paper, before heat setting the powder.

Then I spritzed the Watercolour Paper and used the new WATER PAINTERS to apply Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green ink to the paper.

I used some paper towel to soak up excess paint before adding additional ink. When dry, Clear Wink of Stella was the final addition.

As you can see, I cut the paper into three sections and adhered it to the card front. The greeting was then stamped onto another strip of water colour paper.

To finish the card, the same single poppy stem was stamped onto the card insert and onto the envelope.

I hope that you like it.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

ALWAYS …

The FIELD OF FLOWERS STAMP SET is just amazing!

There are so many ways to use the sentiments, which makes this set so versatile … your sentiment begins with ALWAYS and then you can choose from a range of words to finish.

For this card I chose “Always … Believe”.

Then there are the floral and botanical stamps!

I decided to use a piece of the 2020-2022 IN COLOUR 6″ X 6″ DSP and stamp the floral image using Versamark and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

This is my favourite feature of this card. What do you think?

This technique was also applied to Basic Black card stock, using three different stamps. The “Believe” sentiment was stamped, in Versamark, onto Whisper White card stock and heat embossed in black.

I added some ribbons and stamped the inside of the card and the envelope.

It is so easy to use lots and lots of colours; but, I often like to use just three or four – here, I have used BASIC BLACK, JUST JADE and WHISPER WHITE.

What do you think?

I would love to read your feedback – in fact, for those of you who leave a comment, I will select one of you to send the card to!
