A PERFECT PURPLE PACKET OF PANSY SEEDS

After my trio of pansy card yesterday, I made a 3D double slider gift card to hold a packet of pansy seeds.

Double slider cards are so much fun to make. In the past, I have made them to hold goodies as small as gift cards and as large as a block of Lindt chocolate.

The base for the double slider card was made from Blackberry Bliss card stock and was decorated with the small pansies design from the Pansy Petals 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The Basic White and Blackberry Bliss internal layers had each of their corners rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch.

When you pull on the ribbon trimmed end of the card, both sides of the double slider card open out revealing the treat and greeting.

For the ribbons, I used some of the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and the white faux linen ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. The white faux linen was coloured using the dark Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blend pen. The ribbons were threaded through the punched hole and tied in a knot. Some extra lengths of the Pale Papaya Ribbon were cut in half lengthways and also tied through the punched hole.

The greeting is the same as the one I used in yesterday’s card.

I added some of the 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of this 3D project.

This is such a pretty pansy paper design. The flowers are so sweet, small and colourful.

Who would you send a packet of pansy seeds to?

Until next time, happy stamping.

A TRIO OF PURPLE PANSIES

It seems so long ago that I last used the Pansy Petals Suite. I am pleased that I pulled the Pansy Patch Stamp Set and Pansy Dies from my shelf to use for this project. And, I still had more than enough of the Pansy Petals 12’x 12″ Designer Series Paper for a few projects.

I also made a card that is predominantly white. just like yesterday’s GDP Challenge card.

I chose a gate fold card for this project with Basic White as the base. Then I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock and a slightly smaller die for a Basic White rectangle.

This Basic White rectangle was then embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. The two die cut rectangles were then glued together and a length of white Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, was wrapped around these layers and tied in a bow. I often pop a Mini Glue Dot behind a bow to ensure it stays in place.

Multipurpose Glue was added to one half of the back of the Blackberry Bliss and then positioned on the front left card flap.

I used the Pansy Dies to cut several purple pansies from the DSP. Three of them were placed over the brick embossed white panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I tucked two die cut leaves under two of the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment, using Fresh Freesia ink, onto a piece of Basic White card before cutting it with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Then it was adhered inside the card.

Another purple pansy was adhered to the inside of the card and the front of the envelope.

Then I added some 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of the card and one inside the card.

Who would have thought that pansies and bricks would work so well together? What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.

MOTHER’S DAY

Hello and welcome! I am so pleased that you have popped by today.

It is Wednesday afternoon and that means that it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project blog hop. This week’s theme is Mother’s Day.

I decided to feature the Pansy Petals Suite for this project.

The Pansy Petals 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper uses all the new 2021 – 2023 In Colours – Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. This meant that I could use the 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels as well! And, the ribbon.

The Pansy Dies petals cut and emboss so once the flowers are assembled they have a lovely texture. After I had cut the petals, I used a Blending Brush to add colour to the flower centres.

I made a slimline card so that I could accommodate three pansies, as well as the Mother’s Day greeting.

The Pansy Patch Stamp Set has two pansy, two step stamps. I stamped the larger one inside the card.

With Mother’s Day just a few days away, are you ready? Do you have a card ready for your mother?

Make sure that you pop by the other Freshly Brewed Projects.

Happy stamping.
