Magnolia Floating Inner card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘Fun Folds’. I have used to gorgeous Magnolia Mood stamp set and co-ordinating Dies along with the Mediterranean Blooms dsp which will be available from the 1st May in the new annual catalogue.

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the magnolia floating inner card, you will need:

Petal Pink card – 5¾” by 4⅛” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3⅞” x 3
Mediterranean Blooms dsp – 5⅜” by 3¾” x 3
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”

Thick Basic White card – 11” by 4” scored at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼”
Petal Pink card – 3¾” by 2½” x 4 x 4
Mediterranean Blooms dsp – 3⅝” by 2⅜” x 4
Scrap Basic White

 

The 5⅜” by 3¾” panels of Mediterranean Blooms dsp were adhered to the 5½” by 3⅞” pieces of Basic White card. Two of these panels were then glued to the Petal Pink panels. I wrapped a length of Petal Pink Ribbon around the final panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. This panel was then adhered to the other side of one of the Petal Pink layers. This would be the front panel of the card.

I die cut a scalloped rectangle from the 4¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using the Scalloped Contour Dies. The sentiment, from the Cake Fancy stamp set was stamped on the die cut rectangle in Night of Navy ink. This whole piece was added to the front panel on Dimensionals.

The large magnolia flower was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card. The image was then coloured in using the following Blends Pens – Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam. The image was die cut using the Magnolia Mood Dies and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The small panels of Mediterranean Blooms dsp were adhered to the 3¾” by 2½” panels of Petal Pink. These panels were then glued to the 11” by 4” piece of Thick Basic White card.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies I die cut 4 smaller scalloped rectangles from scrap Basic White card. On three of these labels, I stamped my chosen sentiments and glued each to the dsp panels.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a couple of the smaller magnolia blooms and some leaves using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Blends Pens. These were then die cut and added to the inner panels.
