Fabulous Flowers and Try Stamping on Tuesday #549 for the April Pals’ Blog Hop

Apr 13, 2022 | Pals Blog Hop | 12 comments

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Fabulous Flowers. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Here’s my fabulous flowers card:

The inspiration for this card came from the Try Stampin’ on Tuesday sketch #549. I’m too late to submit it to that challenge, but I really liked the layout.

I also need to say how honored and thankful I am to have been chosen as one of the top three for the TSOT #548 challenge! You can see the card I submitted here. I am so honored!

Measurements:

  • The Polished Pink base measures 8-1/2 inches by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 to form a tent card.
  • I really think this gorgeous DSP (designer series paper) pops fabulously off a black background. Therefore, I trimmed a piece of black cardstock to 4-1/8 inches by 5-3/8 inches. I trimmed a piece of the DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
  • The white cardstock layer measures 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches, as does the cardstock for the inside panel of the card.. In order to add interest to the white cardstock on the front, I ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.
  • I used three patterns of this Expressions in Ink DSP. Each strip measures 3/4 inch by 4-1/2 inches. I used the Banners Pick a Punch on each strip. Since I’d trimmed the DSP to 3/4 inch wide, it fit snuggly in the punch. Therefore, each punch came out uniformly.

Putting the Card Together:

  • Next, I trimmed the opposite ends so that the green and pink strips are shorter than the flowered pattern. Then, I outlined each strip using the black marker. I used my favorite adhesive, multipurpose liquid glue, to adhere the strips to the embossed white cardstock.
  • Then, I wrapped a length of the Just Jade and gold braided ribbon around the white cardstock and tied it in a bow. This just about perfect bow happened magically on my first try. A glue dot holds this bow in place.
  • Next, I adhered the white cardstock to the black layer, and then adhered the black to the Polished Pink cardstock.
  • I’ve been using embossing powder so often lately and just love the look of the gold embossed sentiment. I cropped the sentiment using a die from the stitched rectangles die set. Then I cropped a piece of the brushed gold cardstock using the Painted Labels die. Both the sentiment and gold mat are popped up on dimensionals.
  • Finally, I trimmed the DSP on the envelope flap and punched a 1 inch circle of coordinating DSP to make the envelope seal.
  • With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
