Thoughtful Blooms Encouragement Card

Hi, friends! This week's tutorial is an encouragement card.  I found the idea on Pinterest from Stampin with Julianne Richards.  Even with all of the layers, this is a pretty simple card just lots of cutting.  Yet, it's still beautiful!  The bolded words are Stampin' Up!© products and are linked in my store below.



Instructions



1. Cut a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock to 5.5" by 8.5".  Score card to 4.25 by 5.5.  Fold.



2. Cut a piece of Tropical Escape Designer Paper to 4 by 5.25. Unfortunately, this is a retired Stampin' Up! product.  Glue the Tropical Escape Designer Paper to the Blushing Bride card base.  



3. Cut another piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock to 3.5 by 4.5.  Glue this to the front of the card base.

4. Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 3.25 by 4.25.  Stamp the larger flowers in the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink. 


(Oops I forgot to take a picture of step 5.)

5. Mask the flower to stamp the stem and leaves.  To mask, stamp a flower on a separate scrap piece of paper.  Cut it out or punch it out using Small Bloom Punch.  Place it over the existing flower.  Stamp the stem and leaves.  This will make it look like the flower is on top without having the green show through.  I used Old Olive Ink. 



6. Fill in the white space with a smaller flower.  I stamped this in Rococo Rose Ink.  Glue to the front of the card base.



7. Cut a piece of 2 by 1 piece of Whisper White Cardstock.  Stamp Thinking of you SWEET FRIEND from the Honey Bee stamp set. 



8. Cut another piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock to 2.25 by 1.25.  Glue the sentiment to the Blushing Bride Cardstock.  Glue the matted sentiment to the card base.



9. Cut another piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 5.25 by 4. Stamp Sending hugs, prayers, and lots of love. from the Inspiring Iris stamp set in Rococo Rose Ink.  Glue this to the inside of the card base.

Celebrate Sunflowers In Color 20/22

Hi, friends! Can you believe it's already June?  I feel like the year has slowly flown by!  June means it's time for the new annual catalog and In Colors!  I'm so excited to share a new die and colors with you in this project.  The new In Colors are Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness, Just Jade, Bumblebee, and Cinnamon Cider.  They coordinate with each other well and really pop on the black background.  As always, everything needed for this project is linked below.   I was originally going to use this side of the 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) and then changed my mind.  But, it was too pretty to not show you!                                             Instructions        1. Using the Scrappy Strip Technique by Bruno Bertucci, cut strips of the DSP.  I originally cut my paper to 4.25"x6" but it works better to leave it longer.  They do NOT have to be perfect.  It's better if it's not.

Ornate Garden Mother's Day Card

Hi, friends! This Coronavirus has put me in a funk and haven't felt like making cards lately.  But, I was challenged by Tati to make an instruction video.  It was just the push I needed to get crafting again.  This is my first try making a card and recording myself.  I did edit out some of my mess ups and my puppy making a lot of noise.  Before I post the video, I'm going to post a correction and answers section. LOL Corrections and Answers Card base is 5.5" by 8.5" folded in half. (Standard base) I should say I like Tombow but don't like using liquid glue.  The Tombow brand definitely works really well! Inspiring Iris is NOT retiring but Tea Together and Flourishing Phrases are.  Recipe Whisper White - 5.5." by 8.5", and a scrap to cut the sentiment out from Calypso Coral - 5.5" by .25" and enough to cut out a Stitched so Sweetly die Blushing Bride - 1.5" by 5.5" Ornate Garden DSP - 5.5" by 3.25" If
