Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see today’s project.
I am about to restart my Coffee & Card classes at a local cafe. It has been a number of weeks since I postponed them for my surgery and recovery. I am so pleased that I now feel confident enough to walk to the class carrying our supplies.
This first get together will feature the Sentimental Rose Card Kit. I want to introduce these ladies to the new range of Stampin’ Up!® Card Kits and go back to some stamping basics. There are three cards for each participant to make.
In preparation for the class, I made three sample cards following the instructions in the kit.
Inspired by the cards in kits, I decided to take inspiration from them to create other cards. This is one way that I can show my beginning stampers future possibilities.
The first of these cards focuses on the So Saffron and Soft Succulent ‘Congratulations’ card.
My first step was to use one of the new Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush to create the pattern in So Saffron on So Saffron cardstock. Then I took a piece of Shimmery White cardstock to apply the two colours using a Water Painter to create a similar effect. I used the same coloured Stampin’ Blends to flick colour speckles oner the water colouring. This panel was secured on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the Sentimental Rose flower to stamp the image three times using So Saffron on Shimmery White cardstock. The three flowers were then fussy cut to achieve the three layers you can see on the card front. Each layer was gently scrunched and then layered together. The leaves were stamped using Soft Succulent ink, fussy cut and adhered to the back of one of the flowers. The second flower was trimmed along the right-hand edge. Both flowers were then adhered to the card front. Each flower then had some Clear Wink of Stella painted on the petals to add some gorgeous shimmer.
The birthday greeting was stamped and trimmed down before attachng it to the card front. As you know, if you have been following my posts, Istamped the rose on the card insert and envelope. Finally, I coloured some Pearl Basic Jewels using my dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blend.
I love the way that I can use different Stampin’ Up!® products in so many different projects. This makes my craftroom stash so versatile and great value!
This is a perfect birthday card for someone who loves flowers and yellow. Do you know someone like that?
Happy stamping.
