Today I have two stepped up versions of my Saturday #simplestamping cards to share with you. This week I’m focusing all my projects on the Abigail Rose Suite Collection.
Watch this product video so you can see the whole suite in all its glory.
For the first card, I cut a layer of Smoky Slate cardstock. Then I cut a piece of Abigail Rose 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.
The smaller flowers and leaves were coloured using Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.
After this coloured layer was adhered to the Smoky Slate, I took a length of Petal Pink ribbon from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack and wrapped it diagonally around these layers, securing it with Tear & Tape. Then it was adhered to a Basic White Note Card & Envelope.
Using a different DSP design, I was able to use the largest of the dies from the Cottage Flowers dies to cut the three flowers that were coloured and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The birthday greeting was stamped and cut using one if the Sending Dies.
I used the leaves image to finish the inside of the card and envelope.
Three Polished Dots (retired) were added to the card front.
I love this close up of the DSP because it shows the subtle flecks of Early Espresso.
The second card includes some fun ribbon tricks.
The 7/8″ Natural Finish Ribbon has such a soft texture. The first way I used the ribbon was to cut a length in half and pulled away some of the threads to leave a great frayed effect. Then the two lengths were adhered to the DSP layed with the frayed edges facing out.
I pulled a couple of the inner threads and drew them up to gather the ribbon into a circle.
The flowers and leaves were stamped and cut before I coloured them. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I layered them up from the front of the card.
the greeting was stamped twice and die cut to separate the words. A few Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals were enough to pop them up.
The card was finished with some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
Check out the texture of the ribbon!
Tomorrow is Memories on Monday. So I will have a scrapbook layout for you then.
Until then, happy stamping.
