Hello and welcome to the Stampin with Friends blog hop where we are sharing Z fold cards.

Basic White card – 5⅜” by 2⅝” x 2

Next I started to decorate the remaining panels of Basic White card beginning with the largest. I inked up the spray of lavender blooms with Highland Heather ink and added some Gorgeous Grape using a Stampin’ Write Marker. This image was then stamped at the top, left hand side of the panel. The stems were stamped in Lost Lagoon ink.

The number 60 was die cut from scrap Gorgeous Grape card using the Alphabet A La Mode dies. I stamped each number 4 times and glued them one on top of the other using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This gave some dimension to the number. The number were then added to the panel using the same liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small strip of Pretty Peacock card, covered with white embossing powder and heat set. I flagged the ends with scissors and added the banner, over the numbers with a Dimensional on both ends.

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll – In Colors, Masking, Friend, Staple and Fun Fold.

I stamped the smaller, squat bottle in Orchid Oasis ink at the bottom of the 4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card, roughly in the middle. I stamped the image again onto a Post It Note taking care to position it largely onto the sticky part, and cut it out with scissors. I placed it over the stamped image and stamped the taller bottle to the left in Boho Blue ink and the squat bottle to the right in Tahitian Tide ink.

Leaving the mask in position I stamped the leafy spray in Parakeet Party ink and added the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. I removed the mask.
